Beyond the Divorce

While we chatted, we left the house together. He went to drop off the kids, and I headed straight to the office.

As we passed by Ivanna's building, I couldn't help but glance up, thinking that those two should have parted ways by now.

The court date for Matthew's trial was finally set, sparking a new round of public outcry. The twists and turns of this case had kept everyone on edge, but now, with the overwhelming public pressure, there was no suspense left for the trial.

Adrian had everything ready.

Not long after, Eleanor also walked into the office, bringing a stack of materials and last month's sales report.

I looked through it, and the increase in sales was significant. I smiled at her, "This month isn't even the peak season for renovations, right? The sales increase is impressive."

She smiled contentedly, "Ever since the store changes, the number of customers has noticeably increased. With your enthusiasm and the motivation of those people, how could sales not go up? Our staff's morale is very high."

"That's to your credit. You can establish a bonus distribution system based on a trapezoidal plan. The range can be broader, anyway. This part is our image. You can decide on it.

"But remember, involve everyone in the discussion and raise the level. Make them accept it willingly."

I wasn't a stingy boss. For me, the building materials market was a platform to create a high-quality image, not necessarily a profit center. It was better to boost their morale. The profit from this part was enough to cover the entire company's personnel costs.

I silently praised Eleanor for really helping me out.

It seemed that I might need a few houses as rewards at the end of the year.

Just then, Carol walked in and said, "Ms. Chloe, Mr. Nicholas Mcclain is here to see you."

I was a bit surprised, "Nicholas?"

In my memory, I didn't seem to know anyone named Nicholas.

"He said he is Mr. Arthur's secretary's relative," Carol whispered.

"That's interesting." I chuckled involuntarily. "Wait a moment."

Carol nodded, and I continued discussing business matters with Eleanor. I always felt that there were no real business matters whenever complicated relationships were involved.

I couldn't afford to put aside important tasks to chat with someone like him, especially when I wasn't that free.

Eleanor emphasized the information about Jaxford Doors.

Surprisingly, this company was

worth Eleanor's attention. They had considerable strength, an excellent R&D team, and launched new products. They had their own design philosophy and personality. Saying that their new products led the industry trends was not an

exaggeration.

I asked Eleanor to arrange a meeting with Jaxford's contact person as soon as possible.

Then I inquired if Julius and the others had called Eleanor again.

Eleanor smirked dismissively, "I've done my best. Let's not bring it up again."

After our discussion, Eleanor left, and Carol brought in Nicholas.

He greeted me, repeatedly mentioning Arthur. It was quite amusing. it seemed like this enterprise belonged to Arthur, and I had to give in to him just because he knew Arthur. After signaling him to sit, I asked, "What brings you here, Mr. Nicholas?"

He immediately chuckled awkwardly. His cunning gaze was fixed on me. "I do have something to discuss with you, Ms. Chloe."

He was not polite at all. it seemed he had come prepared.

"Please go ahead." I remained polite.

"I have a niece who studied businessContent protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

management, and she's

outstanding. She performed

exceptionally as an assistant in a well-known company during her internship. Now that she has graduated, she hopes to work at Tanum. She says your company has great prospects."

His words sounded nice, but the logic was flawed.

I chuckled. "Mr Nicholas, you flatter us. No problem. Let her submit her resume to our HR department. We have a rigorous evaluation process and follow a strict procedure. We won't miss out on any outstanding talents. Rest assured."

"Her resume has already been sent to your company." He hurriedly informed me.

"So what exactly are you trying to say?" I looked at him.
