Clint quickly arrived after receiving the call.
He saw Amos glaring at him as soon as he entered the ward. Wesley, who was next to him, gave him a sympathetic look.
Clint felt a chill down his spine. He thought about it several times and wondered what he had done wrong today.
However, he was sure that he hadn't done anything wrong...
Amos was the first to speak.
"Clint, as a special assistant, what is your duty?"
Clint answered immediately, "Do what I am supposed to do, don't say what I shouldn't say, and don't look at what I shouldn't!"
"Good!" Amos pursed his lips and said, "Since you know your duties well, why did you say things that you shouldn't have?"
Clint finally understood that Amos was mad at him for talking bad about Eudora earlier in the afternoon.
However, he didn't think that he had said anything wrong! Eudora was at fault this time and he witnessed it with his own eyes!
At this moment, Amos spoke again, "Speak only after you have taught it through!"
Clint clenched his fists and finally fell silent.
"I'm sorry, President Granger. It's my fault. I shouldn't have said such things! I won't get involved in your personal affairs ever again!"
"Good, you may excuse yourself then."
Clint took a deep breath before walking out.
After taking two steps, Amos suddenly asked, "Oh, by the way, how's the investigation of the project going?"
Clint paused for a moment before replying, "There wasn't much. The other party kept it under wraps pretty well this time."
"Alright, you may leave now then!"
Clint was still in a bad mood after he came out of the hospital. He took out his phone and called Anya. However, it seemed that Anya was working overtime in the company and she did not answer the phone.
He felt bored that he went to the bar to have a drink.
Clint would seldom drink alcohol on weekdays because he was in charge of all his boss' secrets. He would be in trouble if he were to get drunk and spill the confidential information out accidentally.
However, he was miserable and he couldn't care less anymore.
Clint was a little drunk after having two bottles of beer.
Andrew happened to be at the same bar. He had two beautiful women in his arms, busy enjoying the time of his life.
The beautiful women were working hard too. They twisted their bodies against Andrew's fat body as hard as they could and kept asking where they would be going next.
As soon as they came out, Andrew saw Clint sitting by the bar, and he looked drunk.
He seemed to be muttering something. Andrew's eyes suddenly widened after listening to him. He quickly let go of the women in his arms and walked over.
However, the beautiful women were not willing to let such a rich guest sneak away that easily. They hurried to catch up with him, but Andrew pushed them away.
"Assistant Zuckerberg, I fully understand how you feel. That's the way I feel about Aunt Bethany too. I have put so much effort into the business. In the end, she still disrespects me. However, at least, Aunt Bethany is still not as bad as Amos. Compared to me, you have treated Amos way better than I treat Aunt Bethany! However, he still does not prioritize you. You definitely do not deserve such terrible treatment from him!"
Clint burst into tears and downed another glass of wine.
Andrew took advantage of this opportunity and said, "Truth be told, you won't have a good future if you continue to stay beside Amos. Bethany is now the Chairman of Valiant East. Have you ever thought about working at the Chairman's office? With your ability, isn't it a bit of a waste to stay as the President's assistant?"
Clint was stunned and he looked at Andrew with excitement.
"The Chairman's assistant?"
"Yes! I believe that being the special assistant of the Chairman would be much more rewarding than your current position. Even the annual salary is much higher than yours now. You aren't married yet, are you? I know that Amos pays you pretty well, but your expenses would definitely quadruple if you were to get married. Don't you want to give your future wife a better life after marrying her?"
Andrew tempted Clint desperately. It seemed that Clint was gradually convinced.
However, he quickly shook his head and said, "I can't betray President Granger!"
"How is this a betrayal? We should always aim to climb higher. Assistant Zuckerberg, you have to climb to a better position! Moreover, it's not as though you're committing a crime.
I just want you to tell us some of the things that Amos had done. Aunt Bethany and Amos are family. She just wants to know him better and get along with him well. I assure you that nothing bad will happen. Furthermore, Amos is my uncle's only son. When Bethany is gone in the future, Amos will become the Chairman of Valiant East.
In short, you are just getting familiar with this position first before you become the actual assistant to the Chairman. This way, you would be able to excel in your work without much effort!"
Clint seemed to have been convinced by Andrew's words.
Andrew immediately asked, "Assistant Zuckerberg? Are you free now? Why don't we talk in a quiet private room?"
Andrew quietly took out his cell phone and started recording.
