The noises spread throughout the entire conference room without anyone realizing it. The person on the other end of the screen seemed to be aware of what was happening in the room and suddenly turned off the projection screen, which reverted back to a slide template.
Elliot sat in his seat with a furrowed brow, lost in thought for quite some time. Suddenly, he stood up and slammed his hand down on the table, startling all of the rowdy shareholders below him into silence.
"The meeting is adjourned for today. Bring your department's plans and proposals to me. If they're not up to par, take them back and revise them. Also, we'll establish detailed regulations for shareholder dividends later."
Elliot surveyed everyone with a dark expression as they involuntarily fell silent before finally dispersing.
Before adjourning, Elliot didn't even mention that this matter couldn't be publicized - let alone when so many people were present at this meeting; what happened today couldn't be kept hidden no matter how much he wanted it to be concealed - but Elliot had no intention of keeping it under wraps anyway.
Afterward, he followed his assistant into both monitoring rooms and computer programming departments within their company.
His assistant had just received Elliot's signal moments ago and went out searching for whoever hacked their system; however upon arriving at their technical department they found nothing incriminating left behind by whoever did this - who was very cunning indeed - especially since their hacking skills far surpassed those of any member within their own technical team!
Half-lit by overhead lighting while giving off an icy cold glare from one side of his face made Elliot seem ruthless as well as menacing enough that even his assistant shuddered beside him; internally cursing out whoever dared hack into company systems like that!
Why was everything so chaotic today? First there was an explosion involving cake earlier this morning, then now something like this?
He glanced over at Mr. Harper quietly before returning to deep thought once more. "Do you think it's possible that whoever caused both incidents could actually be one person?" He asked aloud while sitting inside his office alongside his assistant.
His assistant froze momentarily because he hadn't considered such a possibility until now but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that there might actually be some truth behind what Elliot said!
But who could possibly have done such things?
"Tell our technical department to keep close tabs on our surveillance footage 24/7," instructed Elliot after taking another momentary pause before continuing, "Especially monitor recordings from our rear entrance cameras along with my floor..."
Elliot gave further instructions regarding these matters which were relayed by his assistant before putting aside these thoughts temporarily so he could focus on other business affairs instead.
Although he had given the order, this matter kept him angry all day. In his free time, he couldn't control his rage and even threw the files a few times. The staff who came to report their work happened to walk in and got scolded badly.
The entire company was immersed in Elliot's anger all day long, and as they approached the center of power, the storm became more intense.
On the other hand, the person who made Elliot so furious happily shut down his computer under Valentin's amazed gaze.
With a simple action from Sean, all of the codes on several pages disappeared from the computer screen. He had an account that Khalil gave him which allowed him to attack any large company's IP at will.
In the afternoon, when Elliot was being driven back home by his assistant after a long day of frustration, nobody dared say anything. Today's events left Elliot unhappy and none of his subordinates dared to be happy either.
