Love You Can’t Say

“We have been in a nice cooperation with AC, haven’t we? Why shall we engage in a new contract with another audit agency? Marcus cut in with confusion.

“Besides, Jo Turner Credit is just a start-up. What if they fail to handle such a great capital chain of the George Group?”

Dennis didn’t answer. Instead, he looked at me and said, “Read those files. Toby will be available if you have any questions.”

I didn’t continue to ask while taking the files. But the same concern of Marcus also worried me. I asked again after a few seconds of pause, “Mr. George, I have been working on construction. HY Technology Co., Ltd. is a tech firm. Besides, I have never been involved in audit, of which it is Toby who has been in charge. Why not leave it to him?”

Dennis fixed his dark eyes on me and frowned, “Clara, do you understand the duty as a director?”

I paused and nodded, “Yes, I do. But….”

“No negotiation. Since now you serve as the director and also one of the shareholders, you shall bear the responsibility to get yourself familiar with everything in the company.”

After saying that, he started to assign the work to Marcus.

While carrying the files, I realized that he spared no room for me to get away from the mission. What was more, the workload this time appeared to be exceedingly heavy.

I went back to my office and made Jackie here. I told her to assign specific schedule for the whole department and paid attention to the market of HY Technology. Perhaps the busiest moment was coming in a few days.

When I went to the financial department for information, I was so stunned to find that the audit of the company had already began.

Kris Lee, the financial director, showed me all files of finance and said, “Miss Kennedy, please take a look. Here are the files of all accounts of the company. The workload this year should be quite heavy plus the accounts of Mr. Thomson’s. So Mr. George would like to leave the annual audit to Jo Turner Credit.”

I nodded while flipping the files. I could tell how bothering it would be, “Okay, I get it. Let me go through the files first. Oh, by the way, I need the data of audit handled by AC last year.”

“Okay!”

Then I returned to my office with those files. As soon as Jackie entered after finishing what he was told, he saw me busy among those accounts. Then she said, “Miss Kennedy, the CEO of AC, Michael , just made a call for an appointment with you.”

As expected, the project of audit between AC and the George Group was worth millions. No wonder he was eager for a talk with me so as to retrieve the profit.

But I could tell that there must be a reason though I hadn’t figured out why Dennis chose to end the project with AC. However, I didn’t have much time negotiate with Michael .

I said while looking at Jackie, “Just tell me I have a busy schedule. Besides, make an appointment with the president of Jo Turner Credit for me. And I need the list of all companies whose audits have been handled by Jo Turner Credit.”

“Okay!” as Jackie left, I got back to my work again.

I was so exhausted and feeling sore all over my body after hours of work till afternoon. I stood up to walk out of the office, only to see an empty office area.

I got myself a cup of coffee and returned to my office. Then I ordered a delivery for my dinner as I needed to work overtime tonight.

“Aren’t you going back home?” a sudden voice came from the door, which surprised me. I raised up my head and noticed it was Mario.

I smiled to reply, “Aren’t you staying as well?”

He smiled and handed over a thermal box to me, “Here is the soup Chef Owen cooked. It should be nice to you.”

I paused a bit and said, “Thank you.”

I assumed perhaps he would leave as soon as he gave me the box of soup. However, he was standing still. As I didn’t have any idea about the following topic, I just remained silent.

“Dennis assigned the annual audit to you this year?” he took a seat and asked.

I nodded, “Yes. But it appears to be troublesome because I only know little about it.”

He nodded to show his agreement, “It has exactly been the end of the first year since the company was listed. So there will be a big difference of the audit when compared to that of the last year. Even a mere mistake would flop the share price. There have been cases of bankruptcy every year because of the annual audit.” Said Mario seriously.

So I stopped to look at him attentively. Then he continued, “What’s more, our annual audit this year is handled by another audit agency. So it requires tons of cautiousness when you work on it.”

Of course, I could tell he was reminding me kindly.

“Dennis should know that I have never been an expert of audit. But why did he still leave that to me?” I was quite confused by Dennis’s reason because it would be a horrible price for the whole group if mistake occurred.

I sat up straight and looked at me, “If you perfectly finish it this time, you will have the reason to justify your right over the shares offered by his grandpa. And then you will be promoted from a director to one of the partners.”NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

He paused to smooth his suit and added, “But if you mess up, the group will probably collapse. And you might need to face the consequence to be expelled.”

I frowned, having no idea how to reply.

I didn’t understand if Dennis did it for me while risking the whole group or he was up for something else.

But I didn’t intend to continue to contemplate. I closed the accounts and opened the box of soup. Then I looked at him again, “I have taken over the case of HY Technology. Besides, I wonder why Dennis asked me to keep an eye on JD Technology?”

Mario frowned. He seemed to be thinking. He replied after quite a while, “HY Technology was acquired by the George Group because of the failure of its capital flow. And it was Marcus who was in charge of its management in the earlier stage. Dennis assigned it to you perhaps because he wanted you to be more familiar with the high-tech industry. After all, the policy now suggests a trend that the authority would start to favor the development of both Internet company and tech firm. So the George Group will probably highly engage in high-tech industry. So he wants you to get prepare beforehand.”

He added after a short pause, “As for JD Technology, perhaps Dennis offered you this mission because he planned for an acquisition of it. So he wanted you to keep an eye on its following development.”

I nodded and took a few sips of the soup. It did taste good. Then I looked at him, “Thank you for your care during these days.”

He smiled, stood up, and was about to leave.

“Are you leaving now?” I asked as I noticed that the night was coming.

He nodded and said, “I have a social occasion to attend tonight.”

I nodded but feeling a bit upset as I would like to propose for an after-supper tonight.

I took some sips of the soup again after he left. Then I continued with the files. Not until I felt a sore butt did I get off work.

I got on my car and was about to turn on the engine. But suddenly I got a call from Diana.

It was already 10:00 PM. I picked up the phone and heard her voice, “Hey girl, guess where I am now!”

I could tell from his tone so I replied after a few seconds of thought, “Hensley Town!”

“Damn! You are so boring!” she complained.

I guessed I got her again when hearing that. So I smiled to answer, “Come on, we have been friends for so long. So how is everything going? Have you found a nice storefront?”
