Female NovelChapter 547: A Thousand Bucks
Cheyenne smiled like a blooming flower and mockingly touched her forehead, murmuring softly, "I thought Master Sam would politely decline and say it's not necessary."
After all, for people like them, the money just meant a digit.
"I believe that Miss Lawrence wouldn't let me lose out." Sam joked, but seeing her actually entering the amount, he immediately stopped her. "Just kidding. But, can I add Miss Lawrence on Line?" "Adding me on Line costs three thousand bucks! What an honor for me. By the way, Master Sam, I have another account, do you want to add that one too?"
Cheyenne happily calculated, making Sam laugh uncontrollably. He indulgently smiled at her. "Miss Lawrence turns out to be a money enthusiast."
"All added. I have something to attend to, Master Sam, see you later."
"Sure."
She waved her sleeve, taking nothing with her.
In the car, Sam watched her thin figure, gradually disappearing in her white shoes, and his gaze paused for several seconds.
It wasn't until the driver quietly asked if they should depart that he slowly rolled up the car window.
In a place where no one could see, the elegant gentleman who was warm as a spring breeze just a second ago instantly turned into a domineering king exuding an aura of aggression.
He coldly instructed his subordinates, "Order a re-investigation. Find out exactly who Cheyenne's mother is!"
"Yes."
Akloit, the top floor of the Foley Group, CEO's office.
After many days, Chris finally saw what his boss looked like when he was back to work, which brought tears to his eyes.
During this period, the CEO had delayed a lot of work for Miss Lawrence.
It was fine for him to take leave, but the pile of documents had overwhelmed him. Chris hadn't taken a break for over a month.
Now that Kelvin was back, could he finally take a break this weekend?
However, there was still a gap between ideal and reality, and soon Chris would realize that his ideal was nothing but wishful thinking.
Behind the desk, Kelvin, who returned to work, didn't throw himself into work as expected.
Instead, he propped his chin with one hand and stared fixedly at the pot of mimose outside the window.
The large office became silent for a long time.
Chris decided to break the ice himself. He placed a document in front of Kelvin and quickly reported on the work.
"Mr. Foley, take a look. This is the bidding document from the Parry family at the last auction."
"Also, the traitor in the company has been found; she's a female employee named-"
Before he could finish, Kelvin ruthlessly interrupted, holding up his hand in a commanding manner.
The sound of the work report ceased abruptly, and Chris respectfully took two steps forward, lowering his head to listen to the man.
He thought that Mr. Foley had something important to instruct him.
To his surprise, the aloof and god-like Mr. Foley asked him a very childish question.
"Do you think the mimose will wither if it's placed on the balcony under the sun?"
It was a plant Cheyenne had given him. He had never paid attention to it before, and no one had taken care of it either.
But the unassuming little plant unexpectedly thrived, surviving several cycles of seasons, just like her.
Chris's lips twitched upon hearing the question. Although he had a "limited education", he did know that plants could survive through photosynthesis and be self-sufficient. How could they possibly wither from sun exposure?
"Don't worry, Mr. Foley. It won't wither from sun exposure," he reassured.
Kelvin continued his inquiry, "If I water it five times in the morning, will it drown?"
Suddenly, Chris became nervous
and looked at Kelvin with clear,
watery eyes. He resembled a diligent student eager for the teacher's approval. Chris sighed helplessly and gave a vague reply, "Perhaps it might. Mr. Foley, you are spoiling it too much."
Because of his deep love for Miss Lawrence, he loved everything associated with her, and that's why he acted this way. Chris couldn't help but think, 'Once a man falls in
love, he loses his rationality, just like
the esteemed Mr. Foley.'
It seemed that Chris had some experience in this area. Kelvin furrowed his eyebrows, thinking for a moment before deciding to let Chris take care of the plant.
"Chris."
"Here, sir."
"Starting today, it's your responsibility to take care of it. Remember, if this plant loses a single leaf, you'll have a thousand deducted from your salary."
In a commanding tone, the man
delivered the order and handed the
plant solemnly to Chris. One could
mistakenly think it was a national
a
treasure. In reality, it was just small gift Cheyenne got for free
from a vendor on the street
She
noticed Kelvin's office lacked vitality,
so she sent it over.
Chris felt like he had caught a hot potato. In his mind, he could only hear the CEO's words echoing. "A thousand bucks for each leaf lost!" The face that was usually devoid of expression now revealed a nervous and fearful expression.
After all, his monthly salary was only thirty thousand.
Meanwhile, after resolving a major concern, Kelvin finally remembered that he was currently at work. He placed his clasped hands on the desk, straightened his posture, and composed his handsome face. "Speak up, what important matter do you have?"
Chris carefully placed the plant on the desk and continued where he left off.
"That traitor's name is Jenna, an employee in the finance department. My people captured photos of her entering and leaving high-end hotels and jewelry stores with Mr. Parry."
"I speculate that she was the one who leaked the auction details."
Kelvin tapped the desk with one hand, his tone calm yet incisive as he pinpointed the core issue.
"A mere employee surely wouldn't have access to first-hand information. Keep investigating and find out who is behind her. Get rid of them completely."
Chris nodded in agreement, subtly flattering him, "Impressive insight, Mr. Foley. Jenna is just a graduate from a lesser-known university. How could she have the right to work in the company?"
"It's because she and the supervisor, Craig, were classmates and have a close relationship. That's why she was pushed to the front desk and was transferred here once her internship ended." "The auction prices were also leaked by this finance department supervisor, and Mr. Parry took advantage of Jenna."Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
Now that the issue had been resolved, Kelvin decisively issued his command.
"Dismiss her and the supervisor, Craig, together. The Foley Group does not tolerate traitors."
"Furthermore, deduct the performance bonuses of the personnel department head responsible for recruitment this month, and have them submit a written reflection."
"Yes, sir."
