“That's right. We'll write up a report to the head office right away to recommend you as the head of the Pollerton branch's business department.”
The change in the directors' attitudes stunned Mila.
Their position has afforded them the luxury of doing whatever they wanted. Now, these three are scared silly by the number of a person they've never met.
Lapsing into deep thought, Mila could not help but reevaluate Donald's value to her.
“Even if I wanted to pretend all these never happened, the head office would not allow it as you've verified the client's referral code,” Sandriel said.
As soon as he spoke, one of the directors' secretaries, Handel Yortz, came bursting in. “The head office called, sir,” he panted out. “The Pollerton branch is to suspend its operations, and a team from the headquarters is coming to conduct an investigation.”
The directors turned deathly pale at Handel's announcement.
Over the years, they had abused their positions to amass personal fortunes.
Though the head office had been aware of their antics, they had turned a blind eye as they could not hold every employee to high standards given the size of Tangent Group.
Now that the Pollerton branch had offended the company's first client, the head office could no longer stand idly by.
Ignoring the three stunned figures, Sandriel walked up to Mila and said politely, “I'm sorry for keeping you waiting, Ms. Zurlo. Let us continue this discussion in another conference room.”
Nodding, Mila followed Sandriel out of the conference room.
As the show was over, Donald replaced the projector and exited the conference room with both hands in his pockets.
“Quinton, I—”
Smack!
Quinton slapped Louie violently across the face.
“Us three have been ruined by you, you little sh*t!”
