Chapter 263
Upon hearing this, Valeria laughed secretly to herself.
The stamp was in the safe, and she had to seize the opportunity to switch it out later.
Not wanting to stay any longer, Valeria left quietly.
This whole time, Ronald and Kyrie had no idea that she had been listening to their conversation just outside the door.
The two of them continued their discussion for a while.
After some time, Ronald glanced looked at his watch, "Wow, time flies.It's already time to eat, shall we go?"
Then, Kyrie agreed by nodding.
"Are we going out to eat, or are we just eating in the dining hall today?"
"Let's go to the dining hall.
Since Valeria is at work now, I'm worried that she'll create trouble, so let's not go out today."
"Alright, I'll go ahead to the dining hall to order for you then."
With that, Kyrie left the office and headed to the dining hall to place Ronald's order.
As Kyrie walked out of the office and turned around in the corridor, Valeria came out of the pantry with a cup of tea in her hand.
Seeing Kyrie, Valeria grinned and greeted him while asking, "Are you going out again, Kyrie?"
"No, I'm not going out.I'm going to the dining hall to prepare lunch for Mr.Brown.Will you be eating out or going to the dining hall today ?" Kyrie asked politely.
"I haven't tried the food in the dining hall, so I'll probably be eating there today.By the way, I don't know where the dining hall is yet.Could I trouble you to lead the way there?"
Hence, Kyrie couldn't refuse her request, "Sure, come along with me!"
"Wait for me, just let me put this cup down!"
Valeria said as she was moving past Kyrie to head back to her office.
However, when she walked past Kyrie, she slipped and let out a cry of surprise as she fell, "Ouch!"
Hearing her cry out, Kyrie immediately turned his head to see what had happened.
With a wave of her hand, the boiling tea spilled on Kyrie, and the cup shattered on the ground.That wasn't all.
Her hands were flying through in the air as she tried to regain her footing.
While her hands fluttered everywhere, she hit Kyrie's injured eye by accident.
Kyrie couldn't believe how unlucky he was.
His already injured eye was hurt again after being scalded by the hot tea.
Covering his eyes, Kyrie couldn't help but scream because of the pain.Valeria tried to hold on to the wall to maintain her balance, and she panicked
"Kyrie, are you okay? Help, somebody!"
Hearing the commotion outside, Ronald got up and came out of his office.He was shocked at the scene of Kyrie screaming while covering his eyes.He then immediately rushed over.
"What's going on?"
"Dad, it's my fault.I was too careless, and I slipped and fell.Kyrie was about to help me, but I hurt his eye by accident."
"Are you okay?" Ronald couldn't blame Valeria either.
Hence, he showed his concern to Kyrie who had been clutching his eye this whole time.
Kyrie had taken a punch at his eye last time and was still recovering from the injuries.He did not expect Valeria to resort to such methods.
In fact, Valeria had firmly grabbed at his eye just now while she had dropped her cup.
Kyrie's already bloodshot eyes were even more injured, and he screamed in extreme pain, "My eye! It hurts so much!"
"Let's go to the hospital right away!"
Hearing the screams, Ronald was concerned.
After all, Kyrie had been working for him for quite some time.
He might have not been the most outstanding employee , but he certainly had been a hardworking one.
With a worried expression on his face, Ronald immediately held Kyrie up and rushed to the elevator.
Seeing this, Valeria immediately turned around and headed into Ronald's office.
Then, she closed the door and went straight to the safe.
Kyrie's accident was sudden, and Ronald was in such a rush that he forgot to take the key to the safe along with him.
She picked up the key and quickly opened the safe to change the stamp.
It was the first time that Valeria had done something bad, and her heart was hammering while she switched out the stamp.
Once she was done, she immediately left the office and rushed to the elevator.
Meanwhile, Ronald held Kyrie, who was yelling, as they took the elevator to get to his car.
As the driver started the car, Ronald suddenly remembered that the key to the safe was still in the office.
He became nervous and shouted, "Wait a minute!"
The driver immediately pulled over and asked, "Is there something wrong, Mr.Brown?"
"The key to the safe is still in the office.I'll go upstairs to get it.Take Kyrie to the hospital first."
Next, Ronald got out of the car hurriedly and went straight to the elevator.
The elevator stopped on the first floor in front of the President's office, and then he saw Valeria holding her bag as she stood at the door.
Valeria was shocked to see him.
"Dad, why did you come back? Where's Kyrie?"
"I asked the driver to send Kyrie to the hospital first as I had something to do."
Ronald frowned slightly when he saw Valeria before he asked, "Where are you going?"
"I'm worried about Kyrie.I want to go to the hospital and visit him" Valeria replied.
"There's no need for you to go.You won't be of much help anyway"Ronald said as his gaze swept over Valeria before he made his way to his office.
Then, Valeria followed Ronald back to his office and watched as he took the safe key out of his drawer and put it in his own bag.
So, Ronald actually came back just to take the safe key.
Hence, she could only imagine how cautious he was while dealing with issues regarding the company.
Valeria sighed in relief.
It was fortunate that she had moved quickly to switch out the stamp, otherwise, she wouldn't have gotten any other chances to do so today.
"Dad, are you sure that I don't need to go to the hospital? It was all my fault that Kyrie got injured.It would be rude if I did not go and see how he's doing, right?"
Valeria asked and she bore a guilty expression.
Nevertheless, Ronald waved his hand.
"There's no need to go! You didn't mean to do it after all.Anyways, aren't you going to eat? Just go ahead then"
"Well, I'm going to the dining hall! Dad, don't you want to eat?"
Valeria asked with concern, "Should I ask the staff in the company's dining hall to prepare your meal for you?"
"No, I'll go to the hospital to see Kyrie, and then we'll be having dinner outside" Ronald answered as he picked up his briefcase and left in a hurry.
After that, Valerie stared at his retreating figure before making her way out of Brownard Group too.
As the car drove out of the Central South Building, Valeria breathed a sigh of relief with a happy expression on her face.
Now that she had taken the original stamp, she needed a place to hide it.
Then, she had to find a way to return it to Ronald after he had signed the contract with Hayden tonight. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Thus, she was no longer afraid of Ronald and Hayden signing the contract.
No matter what contract they had signed, the stamp on the contract was fake.
Once she'd lodged a report with the police, she would wait for Ronald to reveal his own tricks.
Then, she would once again make a report to expose his deeds and ruin his name.
Delighted, Valeria picked up her phone to call Abbie.
"Abbie, let's have dinner! It's my treat!"
"Sure, sure!" Abbie agreed immediately.
Meanwhile, a silver Bentley slowly pulled over outside the Ruthorham finance building, and the secretary opened the door for Archer to get off.
His eyebrows were furrowed and there was a severe expression on his face.
Anyone could tell that he was in a bad mood as he made his way up the stairs of the financial building.
Right then, his phone rang.
As he picked up the phone, Lamont's low voice could be heard from the other end, "President Saunders, how have you been?"
"Lamont?" Archer asked in surprise.
"Yup! I'm in the coffee shop in the city.Are you free to come and meet me?"
"Of course!" Archer hung up the phone before he turned around and went down the steps.
"Go to the West-Hill cafe."
"Mr.Saunders, the meeting with Board of Directors is about to start!"
His secretary reminded him urgently.
With a cold glance from Archer, his secretary suddenly shut up and started the car obediently.
