Chapter 420 Sow Discord and Act on Hearsay
There was still one more week away from the wedding.
During the week, Viola was busy. Since the McGraw Group had just been handed over to her, there were still many projects left for her to learn about and perfect.
Fortunately, Ormand had helped her with the documents, hence the efficiency with which she handled everything.
The two went together to work in the McGraw Group as usual.
There was a laptop on the coffee table, where Ormand dealt with his work concerning the Hobson Group. And when he was not busy, he continued to help Viola sort out her documents.
When the two worked, they were both serious and focused.
A knock sounded.
It was in the afternoon. Viola’s assistant, Fernanda, knocked on the door of Viola’s office frantically.
“Ms. McGraw, something happened!”
When Fernanda pushed open the door and entered, she saw that Ormand was there. Fernanda became embarrassed and stopped speaking right off.
Viola stopped typing and turned to look at her. “It’s okay. Mr. Hobson is one of us. Just say it.”
Fernanda then summoned up the courage and started to report to Viola.
“Ms. McGraw, we’ve been planning the Cloud project all the while. And now a marketing plan has come out, which the marketing department is to put into effect today. But we’ve found…”
“What did you find?” Viola frowned.
Ormand stopped his work and looked up at Fernanda as well.
Noticing that Ormand was looking at her, Fernanda spoke in a smaller voice.
“A subsidiary company of the Hobson Group released a new project before we did. Their plan was exactly the same as ours. Now, because of this, the higher echelons of the McGraw Group are in an uproar. They suspect… suspect…”
Ormand asked calmly, “Are you suspecting that I stole the marketing plan of the Cloud project while I was here with Viola?”
Fernanda lowered her head and stopped talking.
