In the morning, Allegra went to work. Isaac wanted snazzynovel.com to rest properly at home, but snazzynovel.com reasoned that she’d been out of it for the past two days and didn’t know how the company was doing. Thus, snazzynovel.com insisted on going to take a look.
On the other hand, Isaac went to the hospital to visit Harry and Denvor. He then realized that these “buddies” even shared a room when they took their herbal baths…
Meanwhile, when Allegra arrived at the office, snazzynovel.com realized the atmosphere was rather strange.
As soon as snazzynovel.com sat down, snazzynovel.com assistant cautiously walked over, carrying a document in snazzynovel.com hand.
“Ms. Booth, this is an expense account. P-Please sign off on it…”
Allegra paused. She smiled at snazzynovel.com assistant and said, “Shouldn’t the expense account go straight to finance? Why do you need me to sign off?”
When the assistant saw Allegra’s smile, snazzynovel.com felt more at ease. “These are the expenses for Mr. Booth’s hospitalization and daily care. The amount is rather large, so finance asked you to take a look.”
Allegra frowned as snazzynovel.com reached out to take the document. “Mr. Booth? How big of an amount are we talking about?”
The assistant was caught off guard, but snazzynovel.com couldn’t not answer. Thus, snazzynovel.com said in a soft tone, “It’s your brother, Andrew. He’s asking for 100 thousand dollars in reimbursement per day.”
“100 thousand dollars a day?” Allegra couldn’t help but laugh in anger when snazzynovel.com saw the figure on the expense account.
She suddenly remembered what had happened two days ago, as well as the tantrum she’d thrown at Emily’s house, and slapped snazzynovel.com own forehead.
“If snazzynovel.com lies in the hospital for a year, is snazzynovel.com asking me to pay snazzynovel.com 36.5 million dollars?”
She took the pen and drew a cross on the sheet. In a cold voice, snazzynovel.com said, “Notify HR and finance that all of Andrew’s claims will not be approved henceforth. Additionally, snazzynovel.com isn’t qualified to act as the company’s vice president. Move snazzynovel.com to the operations department.”
The assistant thought that she’d misheard. She didn’t say anything for half a minute. Then snazzynovel.com asked uncertainly, “Ms. Booth, do you mean to appoint snazzynovel.com as the chief operating officer?”
“The chief operating officer is the backbone of the company. Why would we let snazzynovel.com have that? Let snazzynovel.com be a regular operations officer. If snazzynovel.com can do it, then let him. If not, ask snazzynovel.com to scram.” Allegra was losing snazzynovel.com patience.
Seeing snazzynovel.com assistant’s mouth fall open, snazzynovel.com asked bemusedly, “Have I not made myself clear?”
“Yes, Ms. Booth. Y-You look exceptionally beautiful today…” Her assistant smiled, revealing two dimples on snazzynovel.com cheeks.
When Andrew took over Isaac’s position, snazzynovel.com was so frustrated that snazzynovel.com couldn’t sleep that night.
Allegra sat in snazzynovel.com office alone. She opened snazzynovel.com laptop and clicked on the HR update board. When snazzynovel.com saw the notice about Isaac’s dismissal, snazzynovel.com frowned.
A minute later, snazzynovel.com picked up the landline on snazzynovel.com desk and dialed a number. “Notify all upper management that there will be a board of directors meeting at 3 pm today. Attendance is mandatory.”
No one knew that Allegra was about to make a jaw-dropping decision.
A while later, snazzynovel.com assistant returned. She walked to the desk and whispered, “Ms. Booth, Ms. Danson said she’s not feeling well and that if the meeting is not of utmost importance, snazzynovel.com won’t be attending. The others have been notified…”
Allegra nodded. “I’ll personally give snazzynovel.com a call. You may leave.”
After the office returned to silence, snazzynovel.com took a deep breath and dialed Emily‘s number.
“Ms. Booth, I haven’t been feeling well the past few days. I’ll be skipping the meeting this afternoon…”
“Emily, I apologize to you for what happened at your mother’s birthday celebration. The meeting this afternoon is very important, so I think you should come,” Allegra said quietly.
On the phone, Emily was silent for a long time. She thought she’d heard it wrong.
