Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 103

Mia said, "That man is about the same age as our dad, so if you've got an issue with him, be upfront about it. Why do you need to toss stuff around? Have you thought about his dignity? If his family saw this, they'd be pissed. If someone did that to my dad, I'd never let them off."

Turns out, she was comparing that man's situation to that of her own father's.

"Our father is the chairman of the Cedillo Group, no one dares to lose their temper with him." Everyone wants to suck up to him. Who would dare to give him a hard time?

Mia frowned, saying anxiously, "Honey, why can't you get my point? I'm saying you didn’t respect him."

"He's not focused on his job, and I pay him a good salary."

"So, you think that paying him a high salary gives you the right to insult him?"

Andre took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner rage. "Mia, listen to me. The mistakes he made are rookie ones that even Leo wouldn't make. Either he's trying to fool me with someone else's data, or he's just not being responsible at work. That's why I got mad.

"He's been working at the company for a long time, so I didn't fire him on the spot but gave him a chance to correct his mistakes. As for you saying that me throwing the files was insulting him." Andre swallowed, saying, "I admit that I was wrong. I lost my cool earlier because I was too angry. I'll keep it in check next time, okay?"

Mia was still frowning.

Andre left the office area. Standing in front of Mia, he patiently said, "Mia, I'll accept and correct what you've pointed out, but, when it comes to the company's management, it's best you don't interfere. I got Cedillo Inc. to where it is today with my own management style. If there are things you can't accept, just ignore it."

Mia's tone softened, "Honey, I still think you were too much just now. Since he's been working at the company for so long, he must have an understanding of your temperament to be able to stay till now. The fact that he personally came to the president's office to submit the materials shows that he's at least a senior manager in the company. But how could he make such a rookie mistake today? There must be a reason."

Hearing his wife's advice, Andre also started to ponder over his subordinate's unusual behaviour.

There would be small issues from time to time, but most of the time, he was diligent and responsible at work. For this reason, Andre promoted him. Why did he make such a rookie mistake this time?

He began to think, but didn't forget to comfort his wife. "You go home first, I'll look into it. If he really has a genuine reason, I'll handle it appropriately, okay?"

Mia nodded, and was escorted by her husband into his private elevator.

Just as the elevator doors were about to close, Mia asked, "Are you coming home for dinner tonight?"

"I have a dinner party to attend tonight, I'll be home late."

Hearing this, Mia nodded. The elevator doors closed, and the elevator started to descend.

Andre returned to his office, calling over his assistant. "Check on Austin from the finance department for me."

"Austin?" The assistant asked curiously.

Andre nodded, settling back into his seat, leaning against the back of the chair, looking at his assistant standing in front of his desk. "Has he behaved unusually recently?"

"Sir, Austin has recently been the subject of office gossip, everyone feels sorry for him."

Andre furrowed his brows, waiting for the assistant to continue.

"His wife left him and took all his savings. His mother, who is old, was so shocked by the news that she had a stroke. His daughter is studying abroad and apparently has gotten into trouble and been expelled from school."

Andre didn't really care about these things. He valued work efficiency and rarely paid attention to his employees' private lives.

"Why did his wife leave him?"
