Female Novel
Chapter 1070
Linda and I smiled and didn't continue to say anything, so we went to the meeting room together.
Hugo saw Linda and I coming over. Strangely, he smiled awkwardly and left.
Linda and I were stunned for a moment. We were a little confused. What had happened?
When we entered the office, Linda took a paper cup and poured out some water. Hugo handed thefruits he had just picked to her and said, "Miss Linda, I need your help peeling them!"
Linda was busy. I got up and went over, saying, "Let me do it!"
Hugo paused for a moment before he said, "No, that's fine. I'll do it myself!"
I couldn't help but frown. Thinking about it carefully, I didn't seem to have offended him in any way inthe past few days. Why did he suddenly behave like this?
I saw him go out with the fruits but did not think much of it. Hendrix and Sebastian joined me in themeeting room.
Rowane also came in and everyone got seated.
Evan said, "There might be some doubts in your mind about matters here in the base. Today, let'sdiscuss our progress first!"
"This project has already been launched for two weeks. Our work has been close to stagnant untilnow, and we are still unable to start because of some people's mistakes. How can we discuss anyprogress?" Rowane said with displeasure.
That was a fact. Although there was offence in her words, she was not wrong. Linda fell silent anddid not refute at all.
Hendrix and Sebastian also did not speak. As top management, they had come to the meeting asspectators.
Evan explained the adjustment progress and then asked everyone to give their own opinions.
Linda said, "I was the reason for the failure of the project. This is my fault, but the most importantthing now is to find a way to keep up with the progress."
Rowane snorted coldly. "Nonsense!"
Linda frowned but did not say much.
Everyone knew what had happened, and they were well aware of Rowane's anger.
After a pause, I said, "The items that were stolen from the base may not be found in a short time.Does Roberts Group have any technology that could replace them? After all, if the project shouldcontinue, these items are critical."
Evan nodded. "It's already being arranged. Madam... Miss Reid, you don't have to worry!"
Linda laughed and joked, "Wow, Evan is already used to addressing her as Madam!"
Evan smiled embarrassedly.
I rubbed my nose and said, "Also, I've always felt there's something strange about the burglary atthe base. It's very unlikely for Linda to be forgetful. And on top of that, what would be the chances ofa thief seizing this rare opportunity?"
"Why not? Clearly, there's a traitor amongst us. Hundreds of millions worth of technology had beenstolen so easily! What a perfect scenario, the perpetrator gained immense wealth and also theperson she is eyeing on all in one move!" Rowane spoke with mockery.
Linda held her temper back. But, she blurted, "Rowane, don't talk nonsense. Who are you talkingabout?"
Rowane sneered. "Who else? Whoever feels defensive against what I say must be admitting to it!"
"You..." Linda's temper flared up the moment she said that.novelbin
I stopped her and said, "We have to deal with it in the right way. There is no need for you, MissZanes, to take personal feelings into work, and there is no need to be so sarcastic. We will takeresponsibility for our mistakes. But before this, I think it's better to think about how to carry out ourcurrent work well!"
