The two vice presidents, who were sharing similar emotions, stood in front of Jasper with their heads looking downward. They did not dare to even breathe.
Jasper glanced at the two vice presidents sharp and icily.
“I remember sending Sean a document about how important the safety of the skyscraper’s construction site is, and that a vice president of the branch is to be on duty at all times.
“So, would someone like to tell me why only the security officer and project manager are here when an incident like this occurred? Where is the vice president on duty?!
“Did Sean lie only to placate me, or are you so brave as to disobey the orders sent from the parent company?!”
Jasper’s voice boomed around them and everyone held their breaths in fear. No one dared to speak as they each stared at their own shoes with their heads down.
“Have all of you gone dumb?” Jasper roared.
Seeing that Jasper seemed intent to investigate the matter, a vice president mustered up the courage to speak despite the ominous feeling filling his chest. “Well, Mr. Laine, Vice President Rohin is the one on duty today. But we don’t know where he is now.”
“I do.” The confession was sudden and instantly caught Jasper’s attention.
Jasper looked over and saw that it was the security officer who had appropriately managed the scene earlier that was speaking up. Thus, he forced himself to calm down slightly before saying, “Go ahead then. Tell me where he is.”
“He’s sleeping in the duty room,” The security officer forced himself to ignore the looks from everyone around and explained.
“Sleeping?!” Jasper was truly furious now.
“Wow. Bring me to the duty room, I’d like to see how he can keep sleeping when an accident’s occurred at the site!”
Jasper had the security officer lead the way. Glancing at the project manager coldly, he instructed Julian.
