Chapter 86
The company had been undergoing a massive change for the past week. Many
people were going in and out all the time. Some of the departments had some
new people, while there were also people who left the company with their heads
held low in dejection.
Some people were promoted, while some were demoted. The higher-ups of both
companies were fighting for all their worth in order to get the benefits they
wanted.
It was not far-fetched to say that the company had become a war zone. Many
people were sacrificed, but some people gained something from this war.
The employees were cleaning their new office rooms, adjusting their seats, and
familiarizing themselves with their surroundings when suddenly, a shrill and angry
voice broke the calm of the place.
“What!?”
Everyone was shocked and raised their heads.
The voice came from the director's office.
Karine’s face was contorted with anger as she shouted, “I've worked so hard for
the company for so many years. I've brought so much money to the company,
and now you want to fire me!?”
“Calm down.” The director glanced at her and placed a cup of coffee in front of
her. “This is a decision made by the higher-ups. Even if you shout at me, there's
nothing I can do either.”
“Higher-ups?” Karine sneered coldly. “Who are they? I'll go look for them one by
one!”
“Know your own place, Karine.” David frowned. “Do you still think your uncle is
one of the shareholders? Do you think you can still do whatever you wish here?”
“You—"
“Do you really think I don’t know who is behind this matter?” David said sternly,
“You're the one who colluded with that company to frame Cordelia, right?”
Karine’s expression changed as she stared at David silently.
“I've never seen you put in so much effort in your work before, but you're so
enthusiastic when doing this kind of petty action!” David looked at her. “Let me
tell you something. Even if you go look for those higher-ups, they can't do
anything for you, either. Half of the board of directors has been replaced, and
once the two companies merge, many people will lose their jobs. I'm already
lucky that I'm not one of them!
“As for you, you should follow the instructions you're given and never show up in
the company again!”
“Argh!” Karine shouted out in anger. Overwhelmed by her rage, she smashed
everything she saw in David's office, causing a mess in his office.
“Are you crazy!?” David shouted back at her. He took a step forward to grab her
wrist and threw her to the side. “Stop acting like a crazy b*tch, Karine!”
Karine smashed onto the wall and regained her senses. She bit her lips tightly
and looked blankly at David, who was fuming with rage. She did not dare to do
anything anymore.
David pulled his tie annoyingly and said, “Karine, you should have expected this
day from the moment you acted like a bully in our company.”
“This is all Cordelia’s fault!” Karine gnashed her teeth. “That b*tch!”
“Stop it!” said David.
Karine was in his office now. If other people learned what she called Cordelia in
his office, he might get into big trouble if other people might think he had some
problem with Cordelia.
Apparently, the merging of the two companies was caused by a powerful external
force. Otherwise, these complicated procedures would not have been completed
in a very short time. Besides, Josiah and Fredric had shown up as well.
Who else could make Josiah and Fredric join forces to merge two companies?
When the thought surfaced in David's head, he felt a chill down his spine.
In the past, he thought that Cordelia had some relationship with Josiah, but it
now seemed to him that Cordelia’s backer was even more powerful than Josiah.
David snapped himself back to reality and looked at Karine. He frowned
annoyingly and said, “Mind your mouth. You might end up like your uncle if you
offend the wrong person. You might not even be able to survive in a small town.
“Now, get the hell out of my office. Don’t make me call security to get you out!”
