Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 944

The two of them looked at each other and shook their heads. Obviously worried, neither dared walk into the office right then and there.

It was only after the financial department was done being screamed at and had all come out of the room with defeated, pale faces that the two fearfully entered the office. They pretended to have heard nothing prior to their entry and focused on their work, pointedly ignoring Jackson out of fear.

Unfortunately, sometimes a mine just did not need anything to detonate it. Even without prompt, Jackson took out the rest of his anger on Amy.

“I’m under the impression that you’ve been working under us for many, many years, haven’t you, Miss Velasquez? Hmm? Do you know that, before our compartmentalization, this place used to be our company's headquarter, governed by my mother before she passed the baton to me? In other words, this is like our second HQ! So tell me, why the heck was my ‘second HQ’ bombing so hard last year, huh? And now, based on the performance recorded so far for this current half of the year, I can already see you people tanking even harder than last year’s abysmal result! Just what kind of director would let something like this happen, huh? I didn’t even plan to shriek my lungs out at you people when I decided to visit this branch, but goddamn it, you all have been acting like y’all are on vacation while I’m not here!”

Amy listened to him grouch with her body straight and her head hanging low. “Yes, you’re right,” she answered. “I should have done better. I’ll do my absolute best to reach higher standards on all accounts in the next half-a-year.”

Jackson’s eyes quickly switched to Tiffany, the only bystander around, after he was done lashing out at Amy. That sudden attention caused the woman’s heart to sink low as she gulped. ‘Holy sh*t, he’s not gonna kill me, too, isn’t he? I haven’t done anything here!’

Contrary to her expectation, Jackson merely massaged his forehead before muttering, “Urgh, I don’t even have the mood to shout at you. I’m going back to the hotel. I will be back tonight… That’s right, everyone in this office is working overtime tonight! No buts!”

When the man finally left the building, both Tiffany and Amy let out drawn-out sighs. As a veteran, Amy had too many experiences to be easily daunted and disconcerted by a harsh scolding from her boss.

“Bruh, why are you sighing? It’s not like he screamed at you! Hell, you probably should be thanking God that I, the director, am around for you to pass the buck, or you’d be the one being drenched in angry spittle! Oh, and what did they say about ‘the most dangerous man is also the most charming?’ That would probably fit Mr. West’s description, ha! He’s already hot, and now he gotta look photogenic even when he’s shouting at people!” she quipped. “He hardly came to our company in the past, you know It’s always been his mother, Mrs. West, which is why I haven’t learned enough about his temperament yet. But you bet I’ll learn a fudge-ton, though, if he shouts at me a few more times.”
