Chapter 271
Henry could not help but say those words angrily.
“I don’t care what you say. It’s true that there’s a problem with the software. Regarding this matter, you guys can’t deny the fact. It’s pointless for you guys to make more fuss about it. Indeed, I received money and did them a favor. If we continue to quarrel over this, who knows what my boss will expose when he gets annoyed. By then, it’ll be you guys who will be upset.” The strong man shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
“B-Boss, it’s really not me,” the employee pleaded as he looked at Timothy. The employee was so frightened by these words that his legs went weak.
At this point, Timothy had no other way out as he patted the employee’s shoulder. “It’ll be fine. The police will definitely clear our name.”
It did not take long for the police to arrive at the company. Then, the police took the employee away with them. Shortly after, the strong man followed and left.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the entire office dropped to a freezing point. There was one employee who was a little frightened. “What should we do now? Leo is really innocent. The company is just starting to improve, yet it is now like this. What should we do in the future?”
“As soon as the news of today’s incident breaks out, do you think our company will be ostracized? Sigh… I also believe in Leo, and also in Boss, but what should we do now? How do we find that culprit in order to clear Leo’s suspicion?”
In the meantime, Timothy’s facial expression had also turned ugly. Henry and I had checked the software. Now that this kind of incident has taken place, both of us are hardly able to absolve ourselves from the blame. There was no problem with the software then, but why is there a problem with it now? Could it be that this bug was hidden too deep and the two of us didn’t manage to check it out before?
Patting everyone’s shoulders, Henry cajoled, “Okay. The two of us will solve this matter. We’ll never let innocent people be implicated. You guys still have projects in hand. Go ahead and get busy first.”
Timothy also looked at Tessa. “Tess, you’re on leave, am I right? It’s been so long since you’ve gone out, so I think you should head back now. You don’t wish to cause the progress of the orchestra to be impacted, don’t you?”
Seeing that she could not help much here, Tessa nodded. “Don’t worry too much. There’s always a solution.”
Upon hearing that, he nodded. “We know. Hurry up and go back. Let me know when
you arrived at the orchestra.”
“Alright, I’ll go back first.”
With that, Tessa left.
At Berlin Philharmonic’s training camp, Tessa informed the Human Resource Department to cancel her leave after she returned to the orchestra. Then, she directly headed to the training room for practice.
“Tessa, Mr. Miller is looking for you.”
Just as she was about to pick up the violin and find the passage where everyone was practicing, the staff at the front desk knocked on the door, walked into the training room, and informed her.
Feeling a little surprised, Tessa placed her violin down and walked out of the training room with the front desk staff.
Standing at the door of Robert’s office, Tessa knocked on the door. Robert’s calm and deep voice sounded from inside. “Come in.”
After Tessa walked in, she saw that Scott was also standing inside. He was talking to Robert. She paused for a while before saying, “Mr. Miller, did you look for me?”
“Yeah. I have something to tell you.”
Upon hearing that, Scott said, “Then, I’ll run along first. You two go ahead.”
However, Robert simply glanced at Scott. “There’s no need for that. I’ll just say a few words.”
Once again, Robert turned to look at Tessa. “Pack up your things and leave today.”
Tessa was stunned at that moment. “M-Mr. Miller? What do you mean?”
“Mr. Miller, hasn’t Tessa been doing very well here? Didn’t you praise her for making great progress a couple of days ago? Why suddenly…” Scott was also surprised.
. Robert said in a deep voice, “Tessa is not suitable for the Berlin Philharmonic.”
“Mr. Miller, please give me a reasonable reason. As a music director, although you have the authority to decide whether a staff member stays or leaves, I can’t accept this if there’s no justifiable reason.” Tessa spoke softly, “If it’s because I took leave today and you’re afraid that I’ll be holding the orchestra back, I can promise you that there is no need for you to be worried about that. I will use my efforts to prove
myself.”
Giving a dry cough, he added, “But, Tessa, we really can’t afford to let a saint like you stay here. You have the ability, so aim and reach even higher.”
At that moment, Tessa was silent. I don’t believe that there is any reason for them to can’t afford to let me stay. The Berlin Philharmonic is second to none in the world. In my eyes, this is what I desire the most!
