The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1088

Fritz stepped forward, keeping his cool, and said, "I did the report."

Stephen was fuming, "How did you work? Did you do it on purpose?"

Fritz calmly replied, "I did not."

"You did not? Then why the hell is there a problem with the report?!"

"Fritz, I've always trusted you, and you... at this very moment..."

Rupin was totally caught off guard. It never crossed his mind that the usually obedient and harmless Fritz would throw him under the bus at such a crucial moment.

Fritz took a deep breath, "Rupin, I suggest you hold your tongue now. The more you talk, the more you screw up."

Rupin felt a lump in his throat. Was he... being scolded by Fritz on the spot? "You..."

Whispers started to fill the room, leaving Rupin and Stephen's faces as red as a beetroot.

Damon kept a poker face, "So, you didn't do the report."

Rupin's legs wobbled, nearly falling to the ground. "I... I handed it to Fritz. He's my assistant, and I thought his work is as good as mine..."

"Why don't you let him take your position as sales manager then."

Rupin's face turned paler. Stephen hurriedly interjected, "Mr. Harper, this is not right..."

"Why don't you take my position as CEO then."

Stephen shook his head frantically, "I can't, I can't!"

Damon gave a stony look and turned around to leave. Rupin was left stunned, his face burning with embarrassment. Stephen quickly followed Damon, giving Rupin a shove when he saw his dumbfounded look.

"Mr. Harper, please wait..."

Damon walked briskly. Those following him in the back quickly made way for him and trailed behind.

"Mr. Harper,!" Fritz's voice rang out.

Damon didn't stop, but Fritz was one step ahead, blocking his way.

"Stop right there!"

Nate stepped in front of Damon, sending a warning look to Fritz.

Fritz halted, looking at Damon over Nate's shoulder, took a deep breath and said, "I did the sales data last month, but the file I gave Mr. Rupin was complete. As for why it's incomplete now, I guess Mr. Rupin must have messed it up in a hurry this morning."

"Messed up?" Rupin was stupefied.

Fritz nodded, "When you went to take a bath this morning, I wanted to tidy up the scattered papers on your desk, but your girlfriend kicked me out!"

Suddenly, it dawned on Rupin that his girlfriend did mention kicking his assistant out this morning. His face changed, veins popping out on his forehead. Was it that woman who messed up his papers?!

Rhoda, who was in the crowd, seemed to remember something. Her face turned as white as a sheet, and in the blink of an eye, she saw Rupin glaring at her furiously.

Just as Rupin was about to charge at her, Stephen abruptly held him back.
