The department manager had already left his seat beside Tobias, but Skylar still thought that it was a bad idea, so she remained standing.
“Why are you standing there? Aren’t you tired? Just sit.” Tobias issued an order.
With that, Skylar had no choice but to sit by his side.
The members of the department had sorted out the whole suicide situation and handed the report to Tobias along with the public opinion survey results. Almost all of the public’s opinions were negative. A lot of it complained about there being too much overtime work and that the internal assessments were way too harsh. To them, those were the causes for the employees’ death.
Tobias flipped through the documents and sneered. “If they can’t even handle that sort of pressure, they’re better off dead. We’ve all been through stressful times. We’ve all experienced hardship.”
Skylar looked at Tobias. Once again, she had witnessed how merciless he could be. To him, people’s life did not matter whatsoever.
Then, the manager handed Tobias the draft of their public statement for him to check. While he was going the draft, Tobias’ held Skylar’s hand tightly within his own in front of everyone there. According to the draft, the company was going to deny any and all responsibilities toward the matter.
While Tobias was still reading, everyone there was stunned. Mr. Ford’s actually flirting with a woman at a time like this?
“If you’re bored, you can go out for a walk. Go to the cafeteria if you’re hungry. The food there is not bad.” Tobias whispered into Skylar’s ear.
Skylar shook her head and whispered back. “It’s fine. I’ll just stay here as long as you’re alright.”
Meanwhile, all the staff sat there cautiously. Everyone was curious about Skylar’s identity as she could get Tobias to speak so gently.
The general public has been requesting a formal explanation from the Ford Group regarding the suicide.
Tobias looked at the manager. “What’s there to explain? They were the ones that made the choice. Did I force them to jump? Scratch this part of the draft.”
After a while, Tobias rejected the draft they prepared. It looked like the draft was really good with how it manipulated the words and sentences. But to Tobias, the whole team was just a bunch of idiots.
