"You’re too bold, daring to disrespect your superiors!"
"Don’t try to scare . I can tell you directly that I don’t disrespect anyone... except you. If you want to set an example, find a better reason. Don’t end up implicating yourself."
"What do you an? Are you threatening ?"
"How could I dare? You’re the deputy director. Even if I had the courage, I wouldn’t dare to do that."
Seeing her frustrated expression, Savannah Lee couldn’t help but chuckle. Realizing her mistake, she quickly covered her mouth. "Now, you have two choices. First, apologize and compensate Mr. Maine for his ntal and reputational damages. Second, we go to court. But I must remind you, this won’t benefit you in any way!"
Philip Black’s face completely changed. "You... You’re threatening , a naked threat!"
Jessica Lawrence was getting impatient. "Isn’t your cousin a lawyer? Just make a phone call and ask!"
"Then I’ll make a call."
Philip Black left to make a phone call. After a few minutes, he returned with a mournful face. I looked at him with a smirk and asked, "What’s wrong? Is your cousin willing to help you in court?"
He walked up to . "William Maine, please, for the sake of our colleagueship, spare this ti! I warned you last ti. If you behaved with humility, this matter will be over. But you chose to provoke again. Don’t bla now!"
"Please, William Maine, please don’t sue . I’m still young. I don’t want to carry this stain for the rest of my life. I admit it’s because I was jealous of you that I kept saring and bullying you. I was wrong. Please forgive ."
He nodded and bowed repeatedly; the panic on his face was not fake.
Nicole Cooper remained silent, but her eyes were filled with anger and resentnt.
At that mont, lody Wilson said, "William Maine, spare him. Since you don’t want to escalate things, then you should propose a solution."
Jessica Lawrence added, "Well, it’s reasonable for you to sue him, but I hope you consider the bigger picture."
"Since Ms. Lawrence and Ms. Wilson both say so, then forget it. For their sake, I won’t sue you."
"Thank you, thank you!"
"Don’t celebrate too soon."
I glanced at him sideways. "First, you need to compensate for the legal fees, then for my ntal and reputational damages, and finally, you need to acknowledge your mistake publicly in front of the entire company."
"Uh."
"If you’re not willing, I won’t force you."
"No, I agree, I’m willing!"
Philip Black’s face was as pale as death, a look of defeat on his face.
I stood up and said, "Good, that’s settled. Coordinate with my lawyer on the compensation. Once everything is done, I’ll drop the lawsuit. But rember, I have limited patience. I’ll give you two days at most!"
Philip Black nodded like a puppet. I thought to myself, finally vented a big anger.
Nicole Cooper left angrily. Savannah Lee went back to draft the compensation agreent. Just then, Jessica Lawrence stopped . "William Maine, don’t leave yet. Ms. Wilson, it’s nothing, you go out first."
lody Wilson glanced at and then left the office.
"Ms. Lawrence, is there sothing else?"
Jessica Lawrence said lightly, "Feeling better now?"
"More or less."
"I never realized before that you were so audacious and reckless."
"People always change. That’s how society is. Good people are always taken advantage of."
"You handled this well. Don’t worry, I’ll remove Philip Black from his position later."
"Thank you, Ms. Lawrence."
"No need for thanks."
Jessica Lawrence asked, "By the way, did you attend the dia conference with Wallace Company yesterday?"
"Yes, that’s correct."
"You must have collected a lot of contacts from potential sponsors, right?"
"I did collect so."
She nodded. "Let ask you, did you happen to et soone nad Troy yesterday?"
What? My heart skipped a beat. ’Did she suspect now?’
My mind was suddenly in chaos. Feeling guilty, I said, "No, I didn’t et anyone."
She looked a little disappointed. "It’s okay if we didn’t et."
I asked. "Ms. Lawrence, is that Troy soone you know?"
"Yes, an acquaintance!"
I stared at her for a while and noticed that she wasn’t paying attention to . I knew she was just curious and didn’t suspect that I was the Troy she was referring to!
"I’ll pay more attention in the future."
"Oh, by the way, how did it go with Charles Williams that I ntioned last ti?"
"We’ve made contact. There’s interest, but there are many competitors; people from several companies also pursuing it. Of course, with the connection to George Jefferson, my chances are the highest."
"Great. I’m looking forward to your good news."
She said, "If there’s nothing else, you can leave first."
Leaving the office, my back was soaked in cold sweat. It seed like she was now looking for ’’ in real life, so I had to be extrely cautious.
Just then, George Jefferson called. "William, are you at the office?"
"Yes, George!"
"Send the address. I’ll co to see you!"
I quickly sent him the address and then told lody Wilson before hastily leaving Skylight Group.
Back at WY dia Company, everyone was working hard except for , the boss, who had nothing to do all day.
"Boss!"
"Hello, boss!"
As I walked through, everyone stood up to greet , and this feeling was still very satisfying.
After waiting in the office for a while, George Jefferson ssaged that he had arrived. I hurried to the elevator, and as the doors opened, George Jefferson stepped out. "William, it’s been two days since we last t."
"George, what made you co to the office today?"
"I’m usually too busy to have ti, only slightly free on weekends."
George Jefferson smiled. "I’m here this ti with a task."
"Oh, what task?"
I thought to myself, ’It’s not asking for my help again, is it?’
"Don’t worry, let’s go to your company first."
