Chapter 2037
"Please leave. After all that has been said and done, it's best not to allow negative sentiments about the Riddle family to proliferate at this time." Nicole concluded, unable to bother with Mr. Walker anymore.
As her words dropped, Mr. Walker stumbled back. They had chosen to let him leave with grace not because they wanted to spare him some dignity, but because he was a senior in their company. It had all been done for the sake of the Riddle family.
Mr. Walker felt as if he had fallen into an icy abyss. His body stiffened, and he had no strength left to struggle. After collecting the documents, he left Nicole's office with a dejected look.
"Pathetic," Steve muttered in frustration.
They had all given Mr. Walker a chance, but as he did not know how to seize it, this was what he deserved.
"It's alright. Let's get back to work," Sean's gaze darkened as well.
They had gotten wind that Mr. Walker was going to create a mess, so they were worried that he might harm Nicole. Fortunately though, nothing had happened.
"Hey, Sean, Steve? Uncle Damien might take action anytime soon. Keep your wits about you," Nicole sternly said.
"Got it. We'll be prepared for that," Sean and Steve replied as their expressions turned solemn.
Damien had final his last chess piece with the recent firing of Mr. Walker. Therefore, anything could happen if Damien acted out of desperation.
Soon, the news of Mr. Walker and the head of the Marketing department leaving the company began spreading internally within the Riddle Corporation. Discussions were already in full swing, but that new bombshell was instantly at the forefront of all gossips.
"Really? That's impossible!"
"Everyone has a chance? I must be dreaming!"
"Don't get too excited. There's competition within the company, and you might not even stand a chance."
"Well, if I never try, I'll never know."
The topic of discussion shifted from gossip about the dismissal of the two employees to the internal, yet open competition for the position of the head of the Marketing Department.
