"Yes, will do!"
Hanging up the call, Lucy turned to Charlotte and said, "Charlotte, you'll be escorting Mr. Sterk by yourself downstairs. Please be observant and act accordingly. While it would be great if he is willing to cooperate, you'll still need to be prepared to comfort and persuade him to help us if he is thinking otherwise."
"I understand," Charlotte replied, nodding.
"This is an important matter. Mr. Nacht is dealing with the hackers and giving out orders from his office. We’ll need to keep things in order here in the front line too!"
Lucy looked solemn but determined.
"Okay, I understand.” Charlotte nodded once more.
Lucy eyeballed her for a moment, and pulled her closer.
"Charlotte, to tell you the truth, Mr. Sterk was still feeling upset about the chip an hour ago and was unwilling to host the product launch event. I'm guessing... I'm guessing that Mr. Nacht got him to come here by force!" She whispered.
"What?”
Charlotte was stunned. She finally understood why Lucy was reminding her time after time that Mr. Sterk might be really emotional. So that's the context of it all...
"And that's why I'm getting you to do the task.
Lucy patted Charlotte's shoulder firmly. "No matter what you do, you need to get Mr. Sterk to the sixtysixth floor and persuade him to host the product launch event. If you do your task well, I'll apply for a bonus for you!"
"A bonus? How much?" Charlotte's eyes lit up at her words.
"Well..." Lucy paused for a second, then said, "Hundreds of thousands at the very least. Get to work! You won't be underpaid."
"Okay, I'll get to work. I'll definitely make it happen!" Charlotte said confidently.
"Good luck!" Lucy pushed her into the lift. "Your promotion and bonus depend on it," she added.
"I understand!" Charlotte smiled as she put on a front to get into action.
While the company was facing a crisis, everyone around her seemed to be playing a crucial part while she looked on, unable to help. However, with the task that Lucy had assigned her, Charlotte felt that she was also an important employee in the company.
