Kitai shivered, his voice filled with urgency, "Boss, you're about to get engaged, and Mr. Pollack is still seen with other women? I overheard - she doesn't share the Pollack name, nor is she your sister. Definitely not a lady from the Pollack family!"
"Boss, don't let him deceive you!"
Kitai felt like crying.
Azure's sales were booming this quarter!
Could it be trouble with the Schnabel family?
Bankruptcy looming?
Had their boss resorted to leveraging charm and marriage to save their legacy?
Kitai was nearly scared out of his wits by his own thoughts.
"Boss, don't settle for less. If the Schnabel family is really going under, you've still got Azure! Worst case, we'll just take off!"
That's when he realized their boss was too kind-hearted to even consider fleeing.
"Boss, this is killing me!"
"…Send me the location. I'll be there in a flash. Better wash up and wait."
Kitai sneezed fiercely a few times.
Twenty minutes later, Noella nudged Kitai, who was crouched in a corner.
"I asked you to keep watch, not to play the part of a mouse. Where's this person you mentioned?"
Kitai, nursing his pride, pointed not far off.
Several ferries were docked, with guards watching over Azure's imported fabrics.
"I was worried about the fabric, so I decided to check it out myself. They haven't delivered yet, and I don't know what's the hold-up."
The high-end fabrics ordered from abroad had to undergo strict inspections.
Now, despite passing inspections, they were being held at the port!
"Boss, see those kids? They've been loitering around here, and they don't seem like they're from the local fishing families."
A group of kids, around ten years of age, were running back and forth near the boxes of fabric.
Noella's gaze locked onto the kid in the lead!
She recognized him instantly as the child who appeared at the hotel with Oriana Baker. Noella's eyes narrowed.
Her instincts screamed caution at the sight of such children!
After some digging, Noella found out that Dan's past girlfriends all vanished under mysterious circumstances, seemingly breaking up with Dan.
But just some low-profile lovers, no one really cared about their fate.
However, Noella knew this was no ordinary child.
"Boss, that's your man, right?"
Kitai's tone was laced with disbelief.
Following Kitai's gaze, a tall, imposing man stood on the pier, the sea waves crashing against the rocks, stirring up foam.
Yet the man remained unshaken, with several kids affectionately clinging to Palmer's legs.
A stylishly dressed woman followed off the ferry, leaving Kitai puzzled, "Eh, that wasn't the woman I saw earlier?"
"Boss, does your man have multiple girlfriends and kids?"
Noella glared coldly at him, "Let's go up and find out."
Kitai instantly gave Noella a thumbs-up.
That's his boss for you, facing such a situation head-on!
"A true warrior, brave enough to face the bleakness of life, daring to confront a cheating man!"
Noella cracked her knuckles, then coldly said, "If you've got so much free time, any issues with this fabric shipment will come out of your salary."
That shipment was worth half a year of Kitai's salary!
"No, boss!"
Noella turned away, resisting the urge to thrash her employee right there.
