Chapter 2749
Lenny gulped, wondering if Sherman had come over because of the recent interview. He glanced at Rita and seemed to have come to a conclusion. Sherman recognized Rita because she had gotten in trouble again!
Rita glared fiercely at Sherman, having already told him that she had her own methods to uncover the truth. There was no reason for him to be there unless it was to intervene.
'You don't need to concern yourself with this issue, Mister Sherman. This matter is under the purview of New Capital Times. If you have time to visit us, perhaps you should use that time to sort things out on your end so incidents like this don't repeat."
Lenny coughed when he heard Rita's words. Her tone was unbefitting of addressing a big- shot company president. It was almost as if she considered Sherman a colleague! Rita's presumptuousness was a little over the top.
Lenny coughed.
"Is your throat bothering you?" Sherman asked. "It's wise to rest if you're feeling unwell." Lenny waved to signal that everything was all right. "I apologize, Mister Sherman. Perhaps our new hire here is new to the industry and hasn't really grasped all the protocols yet. Please accept our sincerest apologies if she has inconvenienced you. Please let me know what happened. I'll see to it that Rita leams her lesson and no longer causes any trouble to you again."
This irked Rita. "What have I done now? Why is it always my fault?!" she remarked in a huff. If Sherman was not around, she would have started a heated argument with Lenny. She could not fathom why everyone seemed to be targeting her. Anything that she did or did not do never sat well with her colleagues. She did not know who else she had offended then.
Sherman remained silent and glanced a glance at the person who had notified Lenny earlier of his arrival. Lenny understood the hint and sent the person away.
Please let me know if you need anything. New Capital Times will do our best to accommodate your requests, Lenny said.
Sherman and Rita chuckled simultaneously, though Rita's snicker carried a touch of disdain. Lenny frowned immediately and shot her a glare as if to wam her not to be too smug because he would still deal with her when Sherman left.
"I heard you're keen on investigating the developer on your own, Sherman said to Rita.
Lenny immediately asked, "Where did you hear that from, Mister Sherman? Such rumors are unreliable, and our paper hasn't decided to cover the story. You can rest assured that we won't publish any unauthorized articles with you in it."
Sherman glanced at his watch and showed little faith in what Lenny said.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
'You don't need to rush to defend yourself. Parr Group will hold up to scrutiny if need be, but I strongly believe that certain skills are necessary for any given venture. Don't you agree, Rita?" "And what is that supposed to mean? Do you distrust me that much? If you truly are such a good person, why did you have to come here and warn us? Could it be because this is
related to the electronics business?" Rita clenched her fists. She would have assumed that it had nothing to do with him if he did not seek her out. By coming over to the New Capital Times' headquarters and looking for her, his actions had effectively aroused her suspicions. You don't have to sugarcoat it, Miss Rita. It seems to me you've concluded that this matter has something to do with me," Sherman said.
