The Man’s Decree Chapter 81

“Didn’t you tell Mr. Jennings that Jared is an ex-convict?” Maria continued pursuing the matter. “Ofcourse, I did! I almost had a heart attack at the look in Mr. Jennings’ eyes at that time. If I dared todissuade him further, he might even demote me!” In fact, Zayne was still fearful when he recalledXavier’s gaze earlier. “Don’t tell me he’s really acquainted with Mr. Jennings?” Maria’s brows creased.“Let’s just observe how things are first.

If he’s really acquainted with Mr. Jennings, we can’t target him anymore in the future. Instead, you’llhave to fawn over him,” Zayne reminded. “I know that!” Maria rolled her eyes before stalking out of theoffice. By then, the dozen or so people in the sales department had already heard that the generalmanager himself gave the order to employ an ex-convict. Such a matter spread very quickly in thecompany, especially a gossip like this.

“That man named Jared must be somehow associated with Mr. Jennings. Otherwise, he wouldn’t havebeen hired!” “I can’t help feeling scared that an ex-convict is going to work alongside me.” “We’ve got tobe careful when he arrives later. If he really knows Mr. Jennings, we’ll be dead if we accidentally offendhim!” The staff in the sales department gathered and whispered among themselves. “What are you alldoing?

Do you not have any work?” Maria reproached coldly upon seeing everyone gossiping together whenshe exited the office. Although she was merely an ordinary sales representative in the salesdepartment, she always threw her weight around. After all, no one dared to offend her when Zayne wasthe department manager. Following her reprimand, everyone dispersed. Only a girl with short hairheaded toward her.

That girl was known as Lydia Wilson, and she was very close to Maria. “Maria, have you heard that thesales department has recruited an ex-convict? And it’s rumored that Mr. Jennings himself made thehiring decision, so they’re probably associated somehow,” Lydia whispered to Maria. “Nonsense! Howcould he possibly have any association with Mr. Jennings? It’s just dumb luck!” Maria didn’t believe thatJared really had anything to do with the general manager.

At that, Lydia was taken back. “Are you acquainted with that man named Jared?” Realizing her slip ofthe tongue, Maria hastily shook her head. “I’m not acquainted with any ex-convict! I just feel that hecan’t possibly have any association with Mr. Jennings when he had just gotten out of prison. Anyway,don’t simply gossip about him! I’ll ask Mr. Carlson to inquire about it from Mr. Jennings.” About an hourlater, Jared finally completed the onboarding procedures.

After getting an employee ID, he went to the sales department. When he arrived, he noticed everyonestaring at him wide-eyed. That had him rather discomfited. “Congratulations on joining the salesdepartment, Jared! Make sure that you cherish this opportunity,” Zayne said to Jared in a calm voice.novelbin

He didn’t dare target the man before he had ascertained whether he was associated with Xavier. Inresponse, Jared nodded. “Come here for a moment, Troy!” Zayne called out to a bespectacled young-looking man. The man promptly trotted over and murmured timidly, “You called for me, Mr. Carlson?”

“You’ll be Jared’s mentor henceforth. You both will be in a team, so remember to teach him the ropes,”Zayne instructed him. The man glanced at Jared with a conflicted expression. “Why, do you have anobjection to that?” Zayne threw him a glare. The man quickly shook his head.

“No, no…” At his acquiescence, a smile bloomed on Zayne’s face. He then turned to Jared. “Go withhim. Your desk is adjacent to his.” Having said that, he pivoted and returned to his office. The othercolleagues in the sales department regarded Jared with a smirk. Maria also stifled a giggle as she wentback to her seat.
