Regrets Come Too Late (Sierra and Johnny) novel Chapter 661

"Go get some rest." Anna said to Sierra because she didn't want her wasting energy on anything unimportant. "I'll handle this."

Sierra nodded and left. She knew Nathan had come to see her mother. He was worried that once Anna found out what had happened tonight, she would be upset with him.

Sierra did not want to get too involved in the elders' affairs.

She would be busy for a while after tonight. The first project was near completion and needed final approval and quality assurance. With Charlie's personality, he most likely wouldn't let it happen smoothly.

With that thought in mind, her mood grew a little heavy.

What happened afterward was exactly what she had expected. Getting the signatures was anything but simple. But the funds wouldn't be transferred to the company's account until the project was signed off and approved, and her test wouldn't be considered complete.

Robin told John about it and asked for his opinion. "Should I send someone to talk to those people?"

This was a small matter to John and he could resolve it easily without even needing Robin to step in. However, it was extremely difficult for Sierra as she could not use any outside resources.

Yet this was also the reality most people faced.

"It's fine," John said as he suppressed the impulse to interfere. "Let her try again."

"Charlie's people are in contact with them," Robin said. "I'm worried he'll have them drag out the signatures on purpose."

"Leave it alone for now," John said, wanting to give Sierra enough room to grow as well as freedom to do what she wanted. "Collect evidence of what they're doing. Use it when necessary."

Robin nodded. "Alright."

Sierra had personally made several trips before the matter was finally resolved. Only then did she realize how hard it was for most people to claim what was supposed to be theirs already.

They had completed the project according to procedure, yet someone still deliberately blocked them at the final step.

After she got all the signatures, Sierra handed the documents to Marcus and asked him to deliver them to the bank.

There were still two days until New Year's Eve. Once the New Year holidays ended, the project funds would be transferred into the company's account, and the first project would be considered completed successfully.

"After you submit the documents, you can both go home." Sierra said to Tony who was in the driver's seat and Marcus who was in the passenger seat. "I'll give you leave for the whole New Year period. Come back to work on the sixteenth."

Marcus said, "I'm not going back."

Tony said, "Me neither."

Was this how he was supposed to speak to his boss?

"After the New Year holidays, I'll revise the company rules." After spending so much time with the two of them, Sierra had also learned how to kick up a storm of her own. "Disrespecting the boss will result in a salary deduction. Sierra Bell will have the final say on what counts as disrespect."

Marcus blinked.

Tony blinked, too.

Both of them were quite surprised.

Tony chuckled softly, still carefree and capricious as ever. "You've gotten smarter."

"Deduct one hundred," Sierra said.

"I was praising you," Tony defended himself.

"The correct way to praise your boss is to say that I have keen insight, the ability to think on my feet, and wise decision-making skills." Sierra remained completely serious and held back her laughter. "Not that I've gotten smarter."
