The Man’s Decree

Chapter 136 Is This Right

“Why? Do you want to collect the debts together with him? In that case, I’ll put both of you on the same team. If you can’t complete them by today, both of you will be fired,” Zayne suddenly declared after Hilda challenged him.

Suddenly, Troy raised his hand and suggested, “Mr. Carlson, I want to change teams.”

It was obvious to him that Zayne was targeting Jared on purpose, especially after Jared disrespected Xavier. Therefore, he felt that he would be dragged down by Jared if he remained on the same team as him.

“Fine, Hilda and you will switch.” Zayne nodded in agreement.

This time, Maria no longer stood up for Hilda despite watching what happened. After all, Jared had hit Zayne the day before, upsetting her. Moreover, he had also stepped on Xavier’s toes, which was as good as ending his career.”

After Zayne returned to his office, Troy quickly packed his things and moved, as if he was avoiding the plague.

Looking at how Troy reacted, Jared let out a smirk. He had initially planned to promote Troy, as he had a good impression of him. All he needed was to say the word. After all, Josephine wouldn’t interfere.

But now, Jared no longer felt the urge to do so. Perhaps, this is what the corporate world is like. It’s every man for himself indeed.

“Jared, wh-what are we going to do?” Hilda asked helplessly.

Given how elated their parents were when they found the job, they would be equally devastated if they lost it.

“Don’t worry, the debts will be quickly paid into our company account,” Jared reassured Hilda.

However, Hilda remained unconvinced. The bosses of those companies were not going to pay up on their own accord unless there was something wrong with their heads.

“Hilda, why did you have to get involved? I’m afraid that even you will be fired now. Considering your qualities, you can have any man you want. Hence, you should break up with Jared, and I’ll introduce a rich guy to you,” Lydia suggested as she walked over to Hilda.

Instead of saying anything, Hilda just shook her head. She didn’t want to leave Jared even if she was to be fired.

“What a foolish gal you are,” Lydia commented with a wry smile.

Josephine had wanted to persuade Hilda too but felt that there was no point in doing so. After all, she knew that it would be Jared and Hilda’s last day at work.

“They are going to be fired after two days at work. This has never happened in the company before.”

“That’s right. I have never seen such an impudent employee who dared to hit his manager.”

“He really deserves it. Why the need to act tough? If he’s really so capable, would he even be working here?” Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Members of the sales department ridiculed Jared incessantly.

Amidst the crowd’s gossips, someone from the finance department suddenly rushed in.

“Silas, what brings you to the sales department? Is there something wrong with the accounts?” Maria asked.

“Maria, the sales department has done an awesome job! Right after I came to work, I saw all our customers settle their debts with us. Therefore, there are no outstanding amounts right now. Who’s the one in charge of it? It’s just unbelievable!” Silas explained excitedly to Maria.

“What? All the debts have been collected?” Maria was stunned.

Her other colleagues gradually stood up and looked at Silas in disbelief.

“Silas, is there a mistake? Can such huge sums really be paid?” Lydia asked with an incredulous tone.

Feeling curious, Silas threw the question back at her. “Why would I lie? Anyway, your department is responsible for collecting the debts. Now that they have been settled, how can you not know about it?”
