“May I know who is asking?” “Ren Husson,” he spoke in an authoritative voice.
The person whom he spoke with was so shocked that he stuttered, “Oh, i-it’s the vice-president, sir. Yes, we have just completed the recruitment of six interns.”
“Add one more. Name, Ruka Singed.” “Of course, of course. We’ll add her immediately.”
Ren responded and then ended the call. He pondered for a bit before smirking. / have not seen this spoiled brat in years.
Scarlet’s next call, though, was to Angela, who was in the midst of a departmental meeting. Daphne, hoping for her daughter to have experience in every department, assigned her to the project department so that she could develop her skills in all areas.
Since Angela became the department head upon her arrival, it was rather stressful for her. Yet, at that moment, she had forgotten entirely about her subordinates, as only Scarlet’s voice remained in her mind.
“Angela, Richard has successfully completed his mission and is on his way home.”
Angela fell into tears at hearing this news and cried, “That’s wonderful, Ms. Husson!”
“Please wait calmly for his return, as you two will be reunited soon.”
She felt utterly relieved. “Sure, Ms. Husson. When the time comes, may I accompany you in picking him up?”
“Andy, no matter what, she is my daughter. I believe I have a better understanding of my daughter’s potential than you do. After all, aren’t you constantly looking for a new job? I’m just helping you along,” Daphne responded calmly.
“President Meyers, over the course of all these years, I’ve assisted you with a great number of important projects; do you really think it’s appropriate for you to kick away the ladder now?” His eyes had a hint of threat in them, and he continued, “People who act like this often find themselves in trouble.”
“Andy Graham, are you threatening me right now? Since you claim that I am kicking away the ladder, then perhaps we should discuss the various sneaky tricks that you have been pulling behind my back for such a long time. With all of the kickbacks you’ve been receiving, I believe you should be able to afford a brand-new house. What else are you not satisfied with?”
Andy’s face flushed with rage, and he glared at her. “President Meyers, you were lucky enough to walk away from that car accident without any serious injuries. Next time, be extra cautious and aware of your surroundings on the road.”
“Andy Graham! What do you mean by that?” Daphne bellowed.
