"Ms. Sanchez, could you point out where you think there's an issue with this quote? I'll have a look."
Gideon was the one who had just taken the call, and he hurried over to Dorothy, looking all kinds of anxious.
"I've put together a detailed spreadsheet," Dorothy explained, her voice tinged with concern. "Comparing it to the quote this company gave to the Lopez Corporation last time, the prices haven't gone down—they've actually gone up. There haven't been any whispers about a price hike lately, so scarcity isn't an issue. What's with the sudden spike?"
Before Dorothy could continue, Ophelia flashed her a smile, "Ms. Sanchez, could I have a word with you in private, please?"
Dorothy was confused. She glanced at Gideon and then back at Ophelia, a seed of doubt planted firmly in her mind.
She couldn't fathom why she and Ophelia would need a private chat. Even though Ophelia had sent her flowers as an apology and Dorothy had reciprocated with a thank-you gift, their communication hadn't gone beyond that.
Without waiting for Dorothy's consent, Ophelia took her aside.
"Ms. Sanchez, here's the thing... The issue with the pricing—it's not Gideon's fault. It's on me. I was helping him out with the price list and accidentally entered the wrong figures!"
Dorothy frowned, "Entered the wrong figures?"
"Yeah."
"Do you realize that if I hadn't caught this mistake, just with these two materials alone, your error could have netted Gideon two million, maybe even more?"
Ophelia's guilt was written all over her face as she awkwardly fiddled with her lip, "I—I had no idea..."
"Why can't it be a trivial matter? As long as you don't talk today, it's like it never happened!" Ophelia was desperate, speaking without thinking, "Ms. Sanchez, you're on your way out anyway; why do you have to be so by the book? Why not leave us with a good impression, huh?"
A good impression?
Dorothy couldn't help but laugh. "And when did you consider leaving a good impression on me?"
Ophelia was rendered speechless.
"Ophelia, from the moment I stepped out of the car, and you pulled me aside, your so-called honesty lost all credibility with me! But whatever comes of the investigation is not my concern. It's up to the company to deal with it. I'm only responsible for reporting the situation."
Seeing Dorothy was determined to blow the whistle, Ophelia lost her temper, too. "Do you really think you're above it all, Ms. Sanchez? That's called being heartless! You're like a cold-blooded creature! No wonder everyone's whispering that Mr. Lopez has dumped you. I think you're just not good enough for him!"
