In less than two hours, most of Galaxy Media's staff—from upper management to ordinary employees—had happily left with Eren and Ricky.
Apart from Matthew, only Christie and a few other employees who had received support from the company before stayed in the vacant office area, utterly dazed and lost.
It was shocking to see how a once-thriving business like Galaxy Media could crumble in the blink of an eye and have all its operations at a standstill.
Left with no choice, Christie and the rest ran to the conference room to look for Matthew, hoping he could advise them on what to do next.
However, as soon as they got to the door, they heard Matthew muttering to himself like a maniac in the conference room.
“No, no, no. I can't let my life's work go down the drain like this. I-I have to apologize to Brittany!”
A while later, the man ran wildly out of the conference room and left the office, leaving his remaining staff stunned and speechless.
When Harold returned to Galaxy Media in the afternoon, he was surprised to find the entire department empty, save for Christie.
Even if he were to include those from the other departments, there still couldn't be more than five people.
To make things worse, the office was a total shambles, as though burglars had broken in and looted everything valuable.
“Um... Is today a day off?” Harold asked as he looked perplexedly at Christie.
My goodness. Today has been such a bizarre day! What on earth is happening?
Christie, however, looked just as surprised by the man's question. “Huh? Didn't Mr. White call to tell you about the company?”
“No, he didn't!”
The next second, Harold hastily fished out his phone, only to recall that Isabella had turned it off in her fit of anger.
Christie began to recount the incident. “Earlier this morning, Eren Sinclair, the heir of the Sinclair family, marched into the office with a group of people and poached all the employees. Only a few of us are left. Mr. White was driven to madness and ran out...”
Harold's face instantly darkened. “What? Has Eren really gone that far?”
“Yes. Mr. White even said something about apologizing to Brittany when he was leaving. If you don't go to his aid soon, I think he'll be utterly humiliated by them.”
By then, Harold had turned on his phone and saw the dozen missed calls.
Half of those calls were made by Matthew, while the other half were from Wrenna.
Without further ado, Harold dialed Wrenna's number.
“Mr. Campbell, your phone is finally back on! Mr. White would probably be scared to death if you were to remain unreachable...” Wrenna exclaimed before giving the man a more detailed rundown of the situation.
However, when Harold tried calling Matthew, he was startled to hear the latter's phone ringing inside the conference room.
Oh, gosh. I can't believe Mr. White has left his phone behind! He must've felt very panicked and distressed then...
Harold immediately left the office and made a beeline for Brittany's house.
At that moment, Matthew was standing anxiously outside Brittany's house while clutching a fruit basket.
He had arrived at noon, but Eren had claimed that Brittany was napping and forbidden him from disturbing her. Eventually, he was told to wait at the door till she woke up.
Even though Matthew was furious, he had no choice but to endure the humiliation for the sake of Galaxy Media.
After a grueling three-hour wait, Eren finally opened the door to usher him in.
“My wife has woken up. Come on in if you want to apologize!”
