“Oh, of course, I do! Naturally, it was our manager who managed to collect all the arrears,” Maria answered hastily as she abruptly jolted back to her senses.
I've naturally got to give the credit for such a windfall to Zayne. Who knows, he may be promoted to the position of manager of the acquisition department this time!
“In that case, Mr. Carlson is really capable!” Silas flashed them a smile before adding, “We'll talk next time. I've got to go through the accounts with Mr. Carlson.”
He then entered Zayne's office. Meanwhile, everyone in the sales department went into an uproar.
“Whoa! Who's so competent to have collected all the arrears?”
“That's simply incredible! Those arrears are all accumulated from a few years ago and were exceedingly difficult to collect!” “Could it be Jared? Judging from his confident expression today, he seemed to have known that the arrears would definitely be repaid in full!”
“Nonsense! Could someone like him have collected all the arrears? Didn't you hear that it was the respective companies themselves who voluntarily repaid their debts? It has nothing to do with him whatsoever!”
“Speaking of that, he's really lucky! It looks like he won't be sacked today, after all!”
The employees of the sales department gathered together and gossiped among themselves.
“This is great, Jared! We won't be dismissed!” Hilda said to Jared excitedly.
“Didn’t I tell you from the very beginning that you didn't have to worry?” Jared chuckled softly.
“How did you know that the arrears would all be paid today?” Hilda queried, regarding Jared curiously.
“It's a secret!” Jared smiled without telling her anything.
He didn't want her to know everything right then, though he would be telling her the truth sooner or later.
While the employees of the sales department were still whispering among themselves, Zayne walked out of his office with Silas, who was from the finance department. At the sight of the man, everyone went silent.
Zayne cast a chilly look in Jared's direction before he stalked away.
