Meanwhile, the atmosphere in Eddie's darkroom was tense. He slammed the table and jeered, "Tell me, who exactly is this woman?"
Startled by how angry Eddie got, Brandon replied to him honestly, "She is Raina Khan, the daughter of the owner of Khan Enterprise, Peter Khan."
Hearing that, Eddie remained quiet as he was waiting for Brandon to tell him more. Brandon continued with his explanation, all the while observing Eddie's expression. From the information that he got, Raina was merely an overseas graduate who was interning at Luke Corporation upon returning to the country. There was nothing special about her.
And it was only because of that which enraged Eddie even further. "Huh, this woman managed to get the chef whom we have worked so hard to arrange into Luke Corporation fired on her first day of work. She sure is something." He scoffed at the thought of it. He thought that Hanson had gotten lucky again as he had managed to dodge the other schemes that Eddie had planned as well. This time around, the fact he had indirectly avoided Eddie's scheme was so bizarre that it seemed like even God was on his side.
Noticing how enraged Eddie was, Brandon didn't dare to speak of anything else but instead reported a piece of news that he assumed was good news, "Young Master Eddie, we were also informed that Raina had been sacked by Hanson."
"Wow, this sure is breaking news," Eddie said so sarcastically that it was hard to tell whether he thought of it as good or bad news.
"This way, the business dealings between Khan Enterprise and Luke Corporation would come to a halt. We might stand a chance because of this."
"We have never dealt with Khan Enterprise before, nor do we have a clear picture of the current situation yet, so we shouldn't act too rashly."
Eddie rejected Brandon's suggestion. "Just get someone to watch over them."
Hearing that, Brandon nodded and asked carefully, "Should we start arranging for another chef to enter Luke Corporation?" They never expected Hanson would inadvertently sack the spy that they had arranged.
"Since the chef had been sacked, they would need to recruit a new chef. Just be more careful this time around." Eddie would never let go of any chances to place a spy within Luke Corporation. He was dead set on making his evil plot against Hanson a success, which was impossible to accomplish without a spy.
Meanwhile, Hanson had already gotten the investigation results on the chef from Larry. The smile on his face got wider as he read through the documents, but his expression was so eerie that it was terrifying.
Even Larry was horrified by his expression and couldn't help but tremble. "President, have you found out about something?"
"Eddie sure is willing to go to great lengths." He passed the documents over to Larry and said, "Seems like you weren't discreet enough when you investigated." Larry was surprised when he heard that Eddie was involved. It was true that he didn't give much thought to it when the chef had been sacked. He was confused when Hanson asked him to investigate it as all the chef did was reveal to Raina about Hanson's likings, so it didn't seem like something worth looking into. Moreover, what the chef said wasn't true.
Realizing that he had made a mistake, he looked down and apologized, "President Luke, I'm really sorry about this."
"Just be more careful next time." Hanson merely waved his hand and didn't seem to take this mistake to heart. Since their company would be recruiting a new chef, he could already predict what Eddie's next step would be. So, he briefed Larry about it.
