Female Novel
Chapter 2114
This floor was where T Corporation's housekeeping department was located. Pierre looked into theoffice. There were a few middle-aged women who were wearing their uniforms sitting there.
The housekeeping department was the department with the least secrets in every corporation, and thepeople received the lowest pay.
It was clear what Luke wanted to tell him by asking him to wait in the lounge of this department.
Pierre could not help but mock. “Very funny. Is Luke Crawford worried that I'd steal your company'sconfidential information? How dare he ask me to discuss matters with him in the lounge of thehousekeeping department?"
The security guards who were walking in front of him remained silent. They could not help but secretlyjudge him. How shameless Pierre was. Some things were better left unsaid, but this man was blurtingeverything out. Was he not ashamed of himself?
A guard pushed the door open when they arrived at the entrance of the lounge and invited them, "Mr.Pierre, please come in."
Pierre looked at the humble-looking lounge and sneered. "What kind of lounge is this? Those who seethis would think T Corporation is a small company. Is this all T Corporation has? Didn't the companyjust become partners with M Group? Is the company short of money to decorate the lounge?"
The guards were secretly complaining while they listened to Pierre's sarcastic remarks.
Why were they the ones to take over the receptionist's job?
They came with the thought of watching Pierre making a fool of himself while they followed Pierre. Nowthat they were feeling helpless from getting provoked by Pierre's words, there was nothing they coulddo.
"Mr. Pierre, that's up to them." The assistant could no longer bear it. If Old Master Mallory knew thiswas how Pierre was acting when he was supposed to make things clear and apologize to Luke, hewould burn with anger.
Although it was Luke's fault for making such arrangements, anyone would have done the same thing.
It was already kind of Luke to be willing to see Pierre. After all, stealing a bidding document was nosmall matter. If not for Luke's document, would Pierre even have the chance to join the bid for theproject?
Hence, Old Master Mallory's assistant thought that Pierre should endure it.
Pierre shot the assistant a cold glance. After he walked into the lounge, he could not help but mock."Those who don't know you would think that you're one of them."
"I'm Old Master Mallory's subordinate," the assistant emphasized.
Pierre sneered, knowing that the assistant was reminding him that he was instructed to keep an eye onhim.
Pierre sat on the sofa and said to the guards, "I'd like a glass of wine."
The guards exchanged glances with each other. There was not much funding for the housekeepingdepartment. How could they have wine here?
"Are you telling me that a big company like T Corporation doesn't have any alcoholic drinks?" Pierresaid disdainfully.
"T Corporation doesn't have any wine here. If you'd like to have a glass of wine, I guess the Malloryfamily's manor would have tons of it." Luke's voice came from the door. The two guards let out a sigh ofrelief. They made way for Luke to enter the lounge immediately.
Pierre stared at Luke, who came walking in.
Luke looked spirited, and the prideful look on his face reminded him of the scene during the signingceremony.
Pierre had watched the live stream of the ceremony online. All he wanted to do was rip Luke intopieces!
"Really? There's no wine here? I heard that you're a wine collector. What's the matter? Is it becauseyou don't feel like taking any out and sharing it with me? Then why don't I buy it from you?" Pierremocked.
Old Master Mallory's assistant, who stood behind Pierre, shook his head helplessly. With that attitude, itlooked like Pierre came here to look for trouble instead of to apologize.
"Not really. But my company isn't anything like your company, where drinking is allowed during workinghours. So, we don't have wine here, not even a bottle. If you'd like to have a drink, I can ask someoneto buy it for you. What would you like to drink?" Luke sat opposite him with his legs crossed. He placedhis hands on his thighs, and he looked like he was sitting down for a negotiation.
The arrogant look on Pierre's face turned gloomy once Luke deliberately taunted his company. "No,thank you. I didn't come here just for a sip of wine."
"Oh, really? I thought you came here to have a taste of the wine here. Sorry to let you down. But Iwonder if you're encouraging the employees of your company to drink while they're working if you keepwine in your company? Will that affect the efficiency in the workplace?" Luke questioned him with astring of words without waiting for him to answer. Then, he added, "I guess it has affected theefficiency. Otherwise, your company's employees wouldn't have ended up stealing the biddingdocument I eliminated just because they can't write a bid proposal."
Pierre clenched his fists. If it were not for the man behind him, he would probably throw a punch atLuke's face right now.
Old Master Mallory's assistant noticed that there was something wrong with Pierre's expression, so hereminded him with a low voice, "Mr. Pierre..."
Pierre let go of his fists and clenched them tight again.
Pierre tried to put up with him, but what Luke said was provocative. The employees in his companywere all graduates of famous universities.
However, due to the company's insufficient funds, he could only hire those who had just graduated.
The fresh graduates who just graduated from university had the knowledge, but they did not have anyexperience. That was why they would ask for lower pay.
The employees who had just joined the company were the first batch of employees, and no one wasthere to guide them. There was no way they could write such a complicated bid proposal.
Pierre had thought of outsourcing, but someone showed him another way, claiming that he had a wayto get T Corporation's bidding document.
Pierre agreed to it as he was overpowered by his hatred for Luke. He thought of using T Corporation'sbidding document to bring Luke to a dead end.
However, he ended up being framed.
“It was my mistake for trusting the wrong person. I came here to apologize to you today." Pierre forceda smile. There was hatred in his eyes, and even his resentment for Luke came through in his words.
"Apologize? Wasn't it you who gave the instructions to steal my bidding document?" Luke asked.
"It certainly wasn't me. But I made a mistake in trusting someone else. As the boss, I'd like toapologize." Pierre clenched his fists even tighter.
He wanted to punch Luke in the face, but he was not allowed to do so under such circumstances.
Luke nodded and looked at him, waiting for him to continue talking.
Pierre did not say a word. There was dead silence in the lounge.
Old Master Mallory's assistant had no choice but to remind Pierre, "Mr. Pierre, aren't you going toapologize?"
Anger rose in him like a tide. Was it not enough? Pierre looked at Luke, rage pulsing through his veins.It nearly consumed him, burning the last bit of his rationality.
However, Madam Mallory told him that he had to endure it. Otherwise, this matter would end terribly!novelbin
Hence, Pierre tried hard to put up with it.
"Mr. Crawford, I apologize for what happened. I'm sorry," said Pierre.
Luke could see how reluctant he was, so he asked, "Mr. Pierre, have you found anything about theperson who stole the bidding document?"
"I'm still on it," replied Pierre. He would need some time to look for someone to take the blame for him.
After all, Old Master Mallory claimed that he would hand this person over to the police.
Once this matter was left to the police, that would mean the person would be charged for breaking thelaw.
