Chapter 144 Give Yourself Away
"Then I'll leave it to you. If you need anything, contact me at any time." As soon as Nate finished
speaking, he planned to get off work ahead of time, so that everyone would know that he had left the
company. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
When almost all the employees left the company, Bill turned off the light in his office. Everyone thought
he had left the company now.
Soon, it was dark outside. Bill walked out of his office quietly. He looked around to see if there was
anyone else, as if he was a thief.
Now that the CEO had told him to pay attention to Dick, he tiptoed to the outside of Dick's office, only to
find that there was no light in his room. Did the CEO misunderstand that the man had left the office?
Bill stood quietly outside the door. When he really didn't know where to go, he seemed to hear a click
from Dick's office, as if something had fallen on the ground.
Bill suddenly became alert. It seemed that there must be someone in the room.
He gently put his hand on the handle of the door, trying to check if it was locked. But Bill found himself
unable to push it. It seemed that the door was locked inside.
Originally, everyone's office had to be locked when they left, so Bill was not sure if there was anyone in
it now. After all, there was no light.
The best way now was to quietly stand outside the door and wait to see if there was anyone in the
room.
If Dick was in this room, he would come out as soon as possible because he had a guilty conscience.
Bill had been in the outside for more than ten minutes. Bill thought there might be no one in the office,
but he wanted to live up to the president's trust. He wanted to wait for about half an hour. If there was
no one else, he would knock at the door.
While he was lost in various fancies and conjectures, the door of Dick's office had been opened, and a
person came out from it.
There were two people in this office, but now it was dark. Bill didn't know if the person who came out
was one of the two people in the office.
When that person went to a place with a little light, Bill found that the man was Dick, and he was very
furtive.
Originally, there were surveillance cameras everywhere in the company. The programmers were not
allowed to work overtime. If they worked overtime, two people must work overtime at the same time.
This was the company's rule, and also Nate's shrewdness.
It was obvious that things had come to this situation. Bill walked out of the dark and asked in a very
calm tone, "Mr. Liu, why are you still here?"
Dick didn't expect that Bill would block his way. He didn't know how to answer Bill's question, so he
looked a little flustered there.
"Mr. Liu, don't you get off work a long time ago? Why are you still in the company?" Bill said
aggressively.
At this time, Dick seemed to turn around and stammered, "I... I just went back from work, but I
remembered that the machine in the company hasn't been turned off, so I came back to turn off the
machine."
"Really? Then I'll get the surveillance video outside the company to see when you got off work and
when you came back." Bill said and was about to go outside.
Dick was very flustered. "I just forgot. Actually, I came back when I reached the gate because I was in a
hurry for a document in the company."
However, Bill didn't want to waste time with him. He took out his phone and called Nate, "Mr. Nate, Dick
is working alone in the company now. What should we do with him?"
Hearing what Bill said, Nate knew that Dick had been caught by Bill.
"Call the security first. I'll go to the company right away." Nate was having dinner not far from the
company, because he was worried that if Bill caught Dick, Bill alone could not stop him.
So he and Ivy had been eating and chatting near the company.
After hanging up the phone, he told his wife, "it seems that what Charlie told me is true. The traitor in
our company is Dick. Now he has been left in the company by Bill. We will go there to have a look right
away."
"I remember this man. He was always gentle but did such a despicable thing."
Ivy couldn't figure it out.
"It's normal. After all, people die for money, and birds die for food. Someone must have given him a lot
of money, so he took the risk."
The couple chatted while walking. They didn't drive. They arrived at the company after a few steps.
At this time, the security guards of the company had been with Bill. They stared at Dick with greedy
eyes, as if they were afraid that he would run away.
Bill was the special assistant of the president, and also the most trusted person of the president.
Therefore, the two security guards surrounded Dick, waiting for the president to deal with this matter.
Seeing the couple come over, Dick couldn't help trembling. He was even more flustered now, knowing
that no matter what he said, they wouldn't believe him.
Nate asked them to come to the hall of the company. After all, it was brightly lit here, so they didn't
worry about anything else.
Bill hurriedly reported, "Mr. Nate, when I was off duty just now, I passed by Mr. Liu's office door. I heard
that there was a jolt in the room, but there was no other sound. I was afraid that there was a thief
inside, so I stood at the door and waited. It took me twenty minutes to find that Mr. Liu came out alone
in darkness."
Nate didn't want to wrongly accuse a good person, so he asked everyone to sit together and wanted to
hear how Dick would explain this matter.
Sitting aside, Ivy didn't say anything. She believed that her husband would handle it well. After all, it
was not a trivial matter and they couldn't make blind comments on it.
"Dick, tell me, why did you stay alone in the office for so long without turning on the light? Don't you
know the rules of our company?"
Nate's voice was indifferent, and no one could tell any emotion from it.
Dick didn't know how to answer, but he seemed to be writing something in his mind.
Somehow, Nate seemed to be very patient tonight. He wanted to know what Dick would say.
Finally, Dick hesitated and said, "Mr. Nate, when I was off duty just now, I found that I still had work to
finish, so I came back."
"Then why didn't you turn on the light? Why didn't you tell another colleague that you worked in my
company? As you have not worked for the first day, you must be familiar with the rules and regulations
of the company."
Facing Nate's aggressive attitude, Dick suddenly knelt down in front of him and said in a trembling
voice, "Nate, I know. I'm sorry for you. I'm sorry for the company. Please forgive me. I won't do it again."
Then he kept kowtowing to Nate...
