The Man’s Decree

Baffled, Kai went back to his table and continued eating.

Shortly after the lunch break, Kai sorted out the arrears. He planned to send the information over to Tommy and let him handle it. If the latter could not manage, he would then personally pay the debtors a visit. Otherwise, it would be a waste of time to do everything himself.

Just as he was doing so, there was a sudden commotion in the sales department. On the heels of that, everyone shot their gazes in the direction of the office and whispered among themselves.

That had Kai’s curiosity piqued, so he went over to Maria and asked, “What happened?”

Glancing at him, Maria uttered coldly, “Go back to your desk and do your work. Ms. Sullivan has just arrived. She hasn’t been here for some time, and no one knows why she’s visiting the sales department this time. Anyhow, she has now gone into the office. Stay on your toes, and don’t offend her lest you drag me into trouble!”

In response, Kai frowned slightly. “Ms. Sullivan? Josephine is here?”

At his question, everyone instantly cut their gazes at him. Maria shot daggers at him and snarled, “Are you sick of living? Ms. Sullivan isn’t someone you can address on a first-name basis! Don’t make any trouble for me!”

Everyone distanced themselves from him, afraid that they would be dragged into the mess if he said anything to offend Josephine.

“Hurry up and return to your work, Kai. Don’t talk nonsense anymore!”
