CHAPTER 420
As she made her way out, she spotted Thomas from a distance, with Lawrence beside him. A wave of doubt washed over her. When had Lawrence arrived at the office? Looking at his outfit, it was clear he hadn't gone home; he had come straight to the office. Had he, like her, been called in at the last minute by Thomas? "I brought all these back. The data should be pretty extensive, right?" she asked. "Absolutely, boss. There's so much here it's overwhelming. I think sorting through it will be a nightmare. I'm afraid I won't be able to analyze it all for you right away." "If only this were an electronic archive, it would be so much easier. Many things can be analyzed through the right software, but with paper copies, we have to go through them word by word. So while I'm organizing, I might as well create an electronic version." "There's no rush. You can take another two or three days. Just message me when I need these documents after I get to the States." Suddenly having more time fe
CHAPTER 419
"You know, if | leave, the company won't be able to keep it a secret. The people below will inevitably stir things up, and you'll need to step in," Thomas said, his tone serious.He was right. If anyone else left, it might go unnoticed, but if he left, it would be impossible to hide. Yet, knowing this, he was still determined to go to America."Boss, I know I shouldn't pry too much into your business, but just to avoid any trouble, I need to ask-what exactly are you going to do in America?" Lawrence replied, his concern evident. Lawrence had a point. If someone were to find out that Lawrence was gone, it could create chaos. He was in a position that required stability, and he feared that some more powerful figures might challenge his authority, making things difficult. Thomas looked at him, understanding his worries. It wasn't without reason, but he had made preparations. Going abroad meant he had already paved the way for what was to come."Alright, I'll send a formal notice to the
CHAPTER 418
Miss Hutton suddenly realized something after hearing those words. She struggled to get up from the sofa, but Lawrence was already jogging toward the door. Just as she finally stood up, she heard a loud bang as he slammed the door shut. She stomped her foot in frustration, thinking how shameless some people could be. But when she glanced at the wall clock, her heart sank. "Oh no, I'm going to be late!" She had never been late for work in all her time there, but today was different, and it was bound to be chaotic. Fortunately, fate seemed to be on her side. Thomas had sent her a message early in the morning, telling her not to go directly to the office but to help him pick up some things from East City. He mentioned he was leaving for the U.S. tomorrow and needed to prepare accordingly. The documents she needed to retrieve contained past data about the American branch. Earlier, the company had undergone a data migration, and much of the information had been deleted from its compute
CHAPTER 417
"Mrs. Hutton, let's stick to what we agreed on. Please, right this way." David smiled as he escorted her out, but Miss Hutton was left in a state of disbelief. Once the door closed behind the woman, Miss Hutton rushed into Michael's office, her voice trembling with emotion."Boss, how can he blame me for this? It's not my fault at all!"By the end of her outburst, she was practically shouting. Yet, David remained remarkably calm, seemingly waiting for her to collect herself. After a long pause, he finally spoke."Miss Hutton, how long have you been working with me?""I've been at the company for three years, and I've been with you for about two and a half years." David nodded slowly, as if contemplating something important."Three years isn't a short time, but it's not very long either. It's about the right time to analyze things more clearly. You didn't do anything wrong today, but if he insists that you did, you'll have to accept it.""Why should I accept blame when I didn't do anyt
CHAPTER 416
"Miss Hutton, you've been with me for many years. I've watched you grow from an innocent newbie into someone who can command respect," David said, his voice surprisingly warm. After hanging up the phone, he turned to the glass window, while Miss Hutton suddenly realized that tears were streaming down her face. She quickly grabbed a couple of tissues to fix her makeup.To Miss Hutton, David was a unique figure in her life-part teacher, part friend, but mostly like a mentor. She had worked under himfor two years before being reassigned for reasons she still pondered. Reflecting on it now, she suspected it had something to do with Thomas. During that time, she often found herself by David’s side, overhearing many things about the company's inner workings. There was a period when she was young and full of ambition, believing she would soon climb the corporate ladder. However, the reality was harsh and cold, bringing her crashing down to earth. She found herself relying on Lawrence inste
CHAPTER 415
"I chose you for this matter because of your unique position. As for what makes it special, we both know it all too well." Lucas felt a wave of resistance wash over him at those words. Thomas's approach was anything but conventional, often leaving him questioning whether his initial judgment had been clouded. He shouldn't have believed that he could see through someone who had so expertly hidden behind the guise of family.Now that he thought about it, coming to this company had turned him into the one being scrutinized."I've heard about the struggle between you and Lucas. I've talked to her about it, and I want no part in your mess. Yet, both of you refuse to let me go. It's quite ridiculous."Thomas glanced up at him. The suddenness of his statement made Lucas wonder about its true intent. Was he confessing that Lucas had reached out to him privately, or was he trying to emphasize that he genuinely wanted to stay out of it?Regardless of his motivations, Lucas didn't care. What mat
