How can I not complain about this matter? I knew that Grayson was going to Paradigm Co. as well as the reason why. After all, the three of us—Grayson, Harry, and I—had a meeting. Before he set off to meet her, we discussed how to earn Sonia's forgiveness and let her talk good things about us in front of Toby. When Grayson left, he reassured us that he would complete the mission with flying colors. However, Sonia ended up throwing him out because of his ill-mannered and insincere apology! Did he forget everything that we talked about during the meeting? He is going to be the death of me.
The call was picked up just as the department chief was thinking about it.
"Hello." Harry's old but high-spirited voice came through the phone.
"President Lore, there's something that I need to tell you. It's about Mr. Lore," the chief said as he sat straight.
On the other side of the phone, Harry wore white sportswear as he stood in the villa's garden. There was a sword that was made for exercise beside him. This proved that Harry was exercising before the chief had called.
He took the towel that the housekeeper gave him and wiped the sweat off his face. Then, he walked toward the gazebo and asked, "What's the matter? Is he back from Paradigm Co. yet?"
The chief shook his head and said, "He's not back yet, but he will be soon."
"How did it go? Did Sonia—" Before Harry could finish his words, he was cut off by the chief's deep sigh. "I'm sorry, President Lore. Mr. Lore failed to complete the mission," he said.
At that moment, Harry stopped what he was doing abruptly. His face, which was red from exercise, darkened instantly.
"What? He failed?" he asked.
"Yes."
Listening to the chief's words, Harry squinted his eyes and wondered how he could've possibly failed.
"Is it because Sonia made things difficult for him? Did she request other things as she felt that it was not enough?" Harry gritted his teeth and guessed, his tone gloomy.
The chief didn't know what to say when Harry accused Sonia of doing all that. Never did he think that the problem lay with Grayson.
To be honest, I believed that Harry knew what type of person Grayson was, but he was brainlessly protecting Grayson. He always blamed others and never realized that perhaps Grayson might be the person at fault. No wonder Grayson has this kind of personality.
Although the chief was thinking about it, he didn't say it aloud. He lowered his eyes and replied, "Certainly not. The reason why it failed was because of Mr. Lore himself."
"What do you mean by that?" Harry frowned. "Are you saying that it's Grayson's fault?"
"Yes." The chief nodded. "During the meeting, we talked about letting Grayson apologize to Sonia on Lynette's behalf. Although Sonia didn't meet the instigator who caused this matter, she would be soft-hearted and let this matter off the hook if he had apologized sincerely to her and given her a token of apology. However…" the chief trailed off.
Listening to his words, Harry gripped his phone in annoyance and said, "Hurry up and say it."
