Even though the man wanted to go back and clarify matters, he remembered John’s warning, stating clearly that if he had the nerves to return to the Seet Group, he would be beaten to a cripple. At that thought, the man decided against the idea.
Forget it, what a strange company. Those people are too hostile and not welcoming at all. It’s better for me to apply for a job elsewhere.
Sophia rang John after booking air tickets for her vacation. “How did it go?”
I knew that rascal had something up his sleeves when he showed so much enthusiasm over my vacation plans.
He wouldn’t be so nice to me out of the blue for nothing!
A mother knows her son best after all.
Obviously, Sophia would gladly go on a vacation to Paris with her son’s help, but she also needed to take care of her own goals.
“Mrs. Seet, I’ve done everything as you instructed!”
“Excellent! Just keep the objective in mind, which is, other than Tussaud, the company would not be able to hire any other translators. Don’t worry, I will not forget your reward when the task is completed!”
John felt uncomfortable when he heard the word ‘reward’ as it made him feel like he had betrayed his boss.
The man was torn between his boss and his boss’ mom. Why do I have to be caught between the both of them…
Indeed, the older one gets, the wiser one is!
John fervently hoped that whatever he was doing was for Evan’s happiness, as what Sophia had told him. That way, he would not feel so bad.
After getting off the phone with Sophia, John headed to the president’s office armed with a stack of urgent orders from A Nation.
His heart was pounding frantically as he hesitated to knock on the door.
Would boss kill me if I suggest that he ask Ms. Tussaud to return to the company?
That thought lingered for just a second before John took a deep breath and knocked.
“Come in,” Evan’s voice sounded from inside the room. After hearing that, John braced himself and strode into the office.
Evan was staring intently at his computer screen.
John walked towards Evan’s desk gingerly and placed the stack of documents beside his computer.
“Mr. Seet, our clients from A Nation are starting to rush us for their documents. We need to get them translated as soon as possible.” After John finished speaking, Evan looked up at him.
Then he remembered Sophia’s constant reminders. For Evan’s happiness, we have to get Tussaud back to the company at all costs. With that, John made up his mind to go all out to accomplish his mission.
