Gazing at Amelia, Donald asked, “Why are you telling me all this?”
“It's simple. I want to help you take down Winslow. Once that's done, I hope you can recommend me to the board of directors.”
Donald shot her an intrigued look.
After all, going from a design supervisor to becoming an executive director of Dragon Fide Corporation was a big leap.
She's delusional for having such a thought.
“What makes you think you have the right to become one?” asked Donald.
Biting her lip, Amelia answered, “If I can take Winslow's place, I promise I'll do a better job than him. Only heaven knows how much money he's stolen from the company in the past few years, not to mention the illegal profits he received. I'm different. I won't take anything from the company apart from my salary.”
Amelia sounded confident when she said that.
She had many chances to make illegal profits using the company to improve her life when she was the top design supervisor.
People like Chester had already bought a few houses while working there for the past few years.
Meanwhile, Amelia barely had enough for a down payment on a house, even after working there for so many years.
The people around her thought she was a fool, but she insisted on abiding by her professional ethics.
She loved her job, which was why she did not want to taint it with money.
Donald gazed at Amelia and said, “Surely you don't think Winslow became an executive director because he could gain illegal profits? As an executive director in charge of renovation materials, he needs to have experience and connections. You might not agree on the part about experience, but how will you compare to him in terms of the network? If something goes wrong with the building materials because of you, do you think you can handle it?”
What Donald said were things Amelia had never considered in the past.
She often complained about how someone like Winslow could become an executive director.
Now that Donald had dumped so many questions on her, she realized she did not know how to respond to them.
“If you can help me take Winslow down, I'll recommend you to become one of the company's higher-ups. Whether or not you can seize the position of an executive director will depend on your capabilities.”
Amelia's eyes sparkled with excitement when she heard Donald's words.
“Thank you, Mr. Campbell!”
“Don't thank me so soon. What I promised you earlier can only be done when you take Winslow down. One more thing. Don't get me involved when you want to achieve something in the future.”
Of course, Amelia understood what he meant.
Dragon Fide Corporation did not need an executive director that could not function. The same could be said for other companies.
“Mr. Campbell, I have one last request.”
“Go on.”
“If possible, can you assign a bodyguard to me?”
Worried Donald might not agree, Amelia quickly added, “You've seen how ruthless Winslow is. If I'm not given protection, I'm afraid I might be eliminated before I can take him down.”
Donald nodded. “Give me your address. I'll get this sorted out right away.”
Upon receiving her address, Donald went back to the company.
First, Donald gave Billy a call to let him assign someone to protect Amelia. After that, he headed to Jennifer's office.
It was not until Donald pushed the door open that he realized Jennifer was having a meeting with several other department heads. There was also a man in his fifties who was wearing a suit and sitting on the couch as he listened to the reports with Jennifer.
“This must be Mr. Campbell, right?”
The man did not rise to his feet. Although his tone was polite, there was no respect in his gaze for Donald.
