Chapter 28
Harold told Matthew about the grudges between himself and Gary.
Meanwhile, Gary was outside the conference room. He remained in a state of confusion since the moment he was kicked out by Matthew.
Wasn't the person who had violently barged into the conference room that b*stard, Harold? Why did Mr. White beat me instead? Perhaps, Mr. White had held Harold behind as he wanted to teach Harold a lesson himself? That must be the case!
Everyone was aware that Matthew was brutal. Furthermore, his full beard made him comparable to a ruthless military general from ancient Chanaea.
Gary was looking forward to watching Harold's embarrassing escape from the conference room later.
About ten minutes later, Harold and Matthew walked out of the conference room together.
Everyone outside saw that Harold was fine and appeared in good shape. On the other hand, Matthew was not only drenched but had a bump on his head.
They were shocked by the sight before them.
“You're such a barbarian, Harold! How dare you beat up Mr. White! Let me get the security over here to arrest this lawless barbarian. He shall be sent to the police station and put in jail!” Gary exclaimed.
Just as Gary was about to notify the security to come over, Matthew interrupted, “W-What are you
talking about, Mr. Gibson? I accidentally bumped my head earlier, thus the injury on my forehead. Also, I've looked into the matter between you and Harold. Harold had sought your permission to apply for leave. Yet, you used that as an excuse to fire Harold. You can give up your position as a supervisor now.”
After Matthew taught Gary a lesson, he turned his head to look at Steven and said, “And you, Mr. Quinn. How could you readily agree to fire such an outstanding worker without looking into the matter thoroughly? You shall take over Mr. Gibson's position temporarily. I'll select another suitable candidate to take on the manager role. The both of you, quickly apologize to H-Harold now!”
After Matthew finished his sentence, he secretly glanced at Harold, who stood beside him, from the corners of his eyes. He could only heave a sigh of relief when he saw Harold nodding.
Both Gary and the manager who got demoted, Steven, could not believe their eyes.
I wonder what is going on here!
Gary was especially confused by the situation. He hadn't regained his senses from Matthew's slap a moment ago. However, he was currently hit by another heavy blow again.
He explained, “M-Mr. White, you can't just listen to everything that b*stard said. He...”
Gary was so stunned that he began to stammer. He wanted to explain his side of the story to Matthew but received a fierce glare from the latter instead.
Hence, he refrained from completing his sentence.
Gary walked up to Harold with a reluctant look and uttered, “I'm sorry!”
After saying that, Gary lowered his head and stepped to the side.
The manager standing by the side, Steven, was also puzzled. Wasn't everything going smoothly at the meeting a moment ago? How did I get demoted from a manager to a supervisor? Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Everything had happened in the blink of an eye, and Steven couldn't comprehend what had just happened.
“Aren't you going to apologize?” Matthew asked Steven with a dissatisfied face.
“I'm sorry!” Steven could only apologize to Harold unwillingly after being demoted.
“It's okay. I shall head back to work first!” Harold nodded in satisfaction and returned to work after receiving the apologies from Gary and Steven.
Harold didn't want anyone to be gossiping about his wife but was also lazy to search for a new job.
Therefore, he settled on his current job for the time being.
In the office area of the project management department, a group of people was eagerly waiting for Harold's pathetic return. They wanted to watch Harold pack up and get out of the office.
“Brittany, why don't you make a guess what Harold's consequences would be for making a scene in the conference room?” Kayden asked Brittany, who was lost in her thoughts.
Brittany gritted her teeth and replied, “There's no need to guess. Judging from Mr. White's personality, he would definitely get the security to brutally beat Harold up before dragging him out of the conference room.”
Just as Brittany finished speaking, Harold appeared to be full of energy when he showed up in front of them.
