Chapter 1497 Rhythm
Camille spent the whole day at Armstrong Corp.
At noon, she had lunch with Horace's secretary. During the meal, the secretary told Camille, "Mr.Burris and Miss Armstrong won't arrive until tonight. Mr. Burris mentioned he might accompany MissArmstrong abroad for a few days, so the company's affairs might trouble you."
Camille raised her gaze to Horace's secretary, furrowing her brow slightly. "Didn't he say it was justa two or three-day journey? Now they'll stay longer? So, it will be at least a week?"
The secretary replied softly, "At least."
Camille really didn't feel like talking anymore. Horace sure is making decisions without consultingfirst, isn't he?
Camille pursed her lips and said in a light voice, "Mr. Burris should have a salary, right?"
Even though he is the general manager, he would still receive a salary, even if it's merely symbolic.
After all, Ayan also has a salary, and his salary card is in her hands.
The secretary didn't quite understand Camille's inquiry, but promptly nodded and said, "Yes."
"Then please inform the finance department to withdraw Mr. Burris's salary for this month and give itdirectly to me!" Camille finished, picked up a spoon and drank her soup. The secretary was takenaback but quickly replied, "Alright, I'll inform them later."
Having instructed the secretary, Horace made it clear that in his absence, Camille would be incharge of everything.
However, with Horace earning just a few thousand dollars a month, does Camille really need it?
After a hearty meal, Camille returned to her office.
Horace's secretary brought some documents and explained, "These are the files I've reviewed withno issues for you to sign, and then, I'll take them to others."
These documents need to be completed within the day. With Horace absent, it was natural forCamille to take over.
Camille took the documents without hurriedly signing them. Instead, she asked, "Are thesedocuments already in progress?"
"Yes," confirmed the secretary.
"Okay." Camille didn't look at the contents. Since he was Horace's secretary, he was someoneHorace trusted, so she didn't need to worry excessively.
After signing, the secretary took the documents and left.
The most tiring task for Camille today was signing, and she had been alone the whole time. It wastruly boring, and she felt a sense of restlessness radiating from her entire being.
But these days would continue for a while, so Camille was now completely in a spirit of sacrifice.
Camille taking over Horace's position at Armstrong Corp naturally didn't go unnoticed among thestaff, and some discreetly took photos and posted them on social media, expressing their doubtsquietly. Even though social media seemed small, it was vast in reality, and it had all kinds of people.
Especially those with ulterior motives.
So, soon, Camille's appearance at Armstrong Corp was exposed online, not with the intention ofArmstrong Corp competing against Horace for the position of general manager, but why Camillehad appeared at Armstrong Corp at that moment.
Then, someone released Grace's flight itinerary after leaving Hance City, which wasn't difficult tofind with a little attention to Grace's whereabouts.
However, the direct online disclosure was evidently illegal.
After all, it was a person's privacy, and such public exposure was unfair.
But currently, no one cared about legality because the post's focus had already steered away fromits original topic.
They were curious: did Camille come to Armstrong Corp with intentions to push Grace out and layclaim to Armstrong Corp?
With Ayan, the Simpson family, and Simpson Group behind Camille, was there any connectionunavoidable with the Simpson family?
Although Armstrong Corp didn't compare to a corner of Simpson Group, in the business world,everyone aimed for more. Even if it was an insignificant small company, who wouldn't want it astheir own domain?
The speculations and comments grew more and more, and everyone's imaginations expanded.
This news spread quickly as we are in the age of the internet, where even the slightest ofmovements would instantly circulate.
Ayan was the first to receive the news, and he immediately contacted Camille. However, at thatmoment, Camille was on the phone with Sienna, unable to take his call.
Seeing this, Ayan also lost focus on work. He got up from his seat, looking impassively at Kian andsaid, "I'm going over to Armstrong Corp right now and contacting public relations to handle thismatter."
Ayan swiftly walked out without even taking his coat, and Kian, seeing this, quickly grabbed his coatand followed suit.
Kian suggested, "Mr. Simpson, the news has already spread everywhere, should we report it to thepolice and let them handle it?"novelbin
"You handle that," Ayan said lightly. "I'm going to Armstrong Corp right now. Contact Horace'ssecretary and tell them no one is allowed to see her before I arrive."
Kian nodded quickly in agreement.
He immediately called Horace's secretary. Armstrong Corp had just learned about this incident, andthe secretary was handling internal communications as Camille had been in her office all the time,making him unsure if she was aware.
The news had already spread among the company's employees, and whispers and discussionswere rampant. Some, audaciously taking advantage of the group chat's ability to change names andavatars, started creating turmoil, directly shifting the blame onto Camille and Ayan.
"I have a relative who worked at the Armstrong family for several years. They've heard Camille oftenquarreling with her parents. Every argument was due to unfair family stock distributions. Camillewas somehow involved in Armstrong Corp's near bankruptcy because she insisted on revealingcertain truths."
"Camille is only doing this because of Ayan. With Ayan's favor, she can basically get whatever shewants. Ayan has also put in a lot of effort against the Armstrong family and Armstrong Corp, or else
Camille wouldn't have the capabilities."
These comments from the self-proclaimed informant with a relative working for the Armstrong familyfor several years naturally raised suspicion on Camille, and they also connected the Page incidentwith Camille.
Since it also involved the Simpson family, some people started wondering if the Simpson family wasbehind all this.
The speculation and comments grew more, and people's imaginations soared.
This kind of news spread quickly, and now was the age of the internet. If even a small rippleoccurred, it would instantly spread everywhere.
Ayan was the first to receive the news and quickly contacted Camille. However, at that moment,Camille was on the phone with Sienna and was unable to answer his call.
Seeing the situation, Ayan also lost interest in work. He immediately got up from his seat and lookedcoldly at Kian, saying, "I'm going to Armstrong Corp right now and contacting the public relationsdepartment to handle this matter."
Ayan walked out quickly, without even picking up his coat. Kian, seeing this, also hurried to grab hiscoat and follow.
Kian suggested, "Mr. Simpson, the news has already spread everywhere. Shall we report it to thepolice so they can handle this?"
"You take care of that," Ayan said lightly. "I'm headed to Armstrong Corp now. Contact Horace'ssecretary and inform them no one is to see her until I arrive."
Kian quickly agreed with a nod.
He immediately dialed Horace's secretary. At Armstrong Corp, they had just learned about thesituation, and the secretary was managing the company's internal group chat. As Camille had beenin her office the whole time, he didn't know if she was aware of the situation.
The group chat of the company's employees had already disseminated the information, andeveryone was buzzing with discussions. Some took it too far, using the group chat to spread rumorsand pointing fingers at Camille and Ayan.
"My relative worked for the Armstrong family for several years, and they've overheard Camillefrequently arguing with her parents. Every time it's about the unequal distribution of shares amongparents. It almost led to Armstrong Corp's bankruptcy, and Camille had a hand in it because shewanted to uncover the truth."
"Camille is only doing this because of Ayan. He spoils her and fulfills her every request. Ayan hasmade significant contributions against the Armstrong family and Armstrong Corp. Otherwise,Camille wouldn't have had the ability."
The comments from the self-proclaimed informant with a relative working for the Armstrong familyfor several years naturally cast suspicion on Camille and linked the Page incident to her.
As it also involved the Simpson family, some began to wonder if the Simpson family was behind itall.
