“Since you’ve discovered everything, I have nothing else to say. What will you do?” Oswald asked after he shut the file.
I might have done many things behind his back, but he won’t get rid of me for his father’s sake.
“You’ll be dismissed from your position and Nightshire Group won’t pay you for your services anymore. If you‘re willing to sell your shares, I will buy them from you. If you’re not willing to sell them, you will receive dividends according to the percentage of your shares every year… However, you no longer need to attend the annual general meeting,” Vinson revealed as he stared Oswald in the eye.
Oswald’s eyes turned as wide as saucers. He worked hard his entire life for Nightshire Group but ended up getting kicked out of the company.
“You are welcome to state your disagreement,” Vinson added nonchalantly when he realized Oswald was staring at him incredulously.
Resentment brewed deep within Oswald.
All I did was use my position to gain profits for my company. So what if I took a few million from the company?
Is there a need to fire me?
Oswald wanted to say that he disagreed with Vinson’s decision, but he dared not voice his objection out loud. He was afraid that Vinson would abide by the law and send him to jail.
That was something he never wanted.
“I don’t have any objections…”
With that said, Oswald slammed the file onto the table and stomped out of the room.
Vinson’s face remained devoid of expression even after Oswald left the conference room in a fit of fury. He then turned to look at the other directors.
“Vinson, I know I was wrong for being corrupted. I shall repay the money I embezzled from the company, so please don’t dismiss me,” one of the directors, Patrick Chance, immediately pleaded.
I wouldn’t have done that if my wife wasn’t ill and in need of money for treatment. One wrong move and I landed in the darkest pit.
