She had always been held in high regard wherever she went due to being from a side branch of the Faulkner Family. It was bad enough to have repeatedly suffered losses in front of Joe, but now, even a mere security guard dared to stop her.
No matter how much Sandra threatened or tempted, the security guard refused to budge. She could only glare at him angrily before leaving in frustration.
Back in the office, Joe leaned back in his chair, his brows furrowed.
He didn't know how Sandra had found out about David's situation. Even though he had merely sent the child to David, this matter could still be somewhat linked to him.
Thinking about how close Charlotte and David had been in the past, Joe's eyes darkened.
He dialed an internal line and called for Jack.
As soon as Jack entered the office, he sensed the atmosphere was not quite right.
Why was his boss in a bad mood so early in the morning? Did he have an argument with Miss Clinton yesterday?
"It seems like you have quite a bit of free time to daydream here."
Just as Jack was lost in thought, Joe's cool voice suddenly sounded, startling him.
"I... I was just thinking you don't seem to be in a good mood today, Mr. Smith," Jack awkwardly replied with a smile.
Joe's gaze settled on Jack, silently observing him.
Just as Jack began to feel that the smile on his face might freeze, Joe spoke up, "I remember you're dating Charlotte's assistant, right?"
Jack's eyes widened in surprise, "Yes... I don't think the company has any regulations against that..."
"Tsk."
Joe looked at him coldly, for the first time thinking that his assistant's brain wasn't functioning quite well.
