Love from My Dominant Boss

When Michael didn’t receive an answer, he raised his voice and called out to Conrad again.

I noticed that Conrad’s legs had started shaking. It turned out that he wasn’t just lecherous, but also greedy to the point of embezzling money from the company.

Conrad stared at the documents which clearly listed all the details. At least millions from the budgets over the past few years had gone missing. Although Michael didn’t say it out loud, anyone with a brain would know that Conrad had pocketed all that money because ordinary employees like us were only allocated a small portion of the budget money each time.

“M-Mr. Shaw, I…” Conrad fumbled for words with his eyes still fixed on the documents.

“I’ve already gotten people to look into this. Every time you apply to the company for a budget, a certain amount of money will also be transferred to your bank account. Mr. Skeete, don’t you think you need to explain yourself? Where did that money come from?” Michael asked again when Conrad didn’t answer.

“M-Mr. Shaw, I made a terrible mistake. I promise that it’ll never happen again. Please forgive me.”

Conrad was shaking like a leaf. Although he didn’t admit to pocketing all that money, everyone could tell by then that he was the culprit.

“I never give second chances. You’re fired, Mr. Skeete. The company lawyers will contact you to discuss the budget in private.”

Michael’s eyes glinted coldly as he looked at Conrad.

Conrad looked at Michael in horror and pleaded, “I know I was wrong, Mr. Shaw. Please give me another chance to make things right.”

No matter how much he threw his weight around as the department head; when it came to facing Michael, he could only behave subserviently. Right then, our impression of him was the least of his concerns. After all, if the company lawyers were going to get involved, one could only imagine the severity of the situation.

Michael frowned in annoyance and his gaze sharpened. Noticing this, one of his secretaries snapped, “Security, what are you waiting for? Drag Mr. Skeete out!”

The two security guards stood paralyzed to the spot for a moment, unable to comprehend the situation. Upon meeting Michael’s terrifying gaze, they hastily walked toward Conrad and starting dragging him out.

the employees watched as Conrad was hauled off the premises. The entire office descended into a pin-drop silence,
