The Deadly Assassin Robin novel Chapter 89

Chapter 89 Isn’t This the President’s Seat? 

On the tenth floor of the Dunn Group building, in the sales department, Connor stood nervon outside the office of Howard. 

At just 26, Howard had earned his MBA from Huffurd Business School in Autreynia, where he had crossed paths with Shirley during her studies. 

A year ago, Howard had returned to the country and stepped into his role at Dunn Group. 

With the recent founding of Eastvale, many people expected Howard to be the next president. 

Rumors swirled that during his time at Autreynia, he had been pursuing Shirley. 

His decision to come back and work for Dunn Group was believed to be motivated by this interest. 

Allegedly, he had turned down offers from several prestigious international companies to join Dunn Group instead. 

These factors positioned Howard as the clear second–in–command at Dunn Group. 

He often brought up his connection to Shirley’s senior in the university, leading many to speculate about whether he might become her fiancé. 

Howard’s responses to such inquiries were always vague, creating the impression that he and Shirley were romantically involved. 

Over time, many within the organization began to believe that Howard would eventually join the core management team of Dunn Group. 

Yet, despite nearly two years in the company, he still hadn’t made it to the board of directors. 

This was Connor’s first visit to Howard’s office. 

If Piper hadn’t asked him to report Rosalie, he wouldn’t have dared to step inside. 

To him, Howard was a significant player in Shirley’s life and a likely future leader of Dunn Group. 

After a moment’s hesitation, Connor finally gathered the courage to knock on the door. 

“What do you want?” Howard looked up, frowning at Connor. 

“Mr. Dixon, hello! I’m Connor Whitman, the deputy team leader in the sales department,” he introduced himself, trying to maintain his composure. 

Howard nodded in acknowledgment. 

“Mr. Dixon, I’m here to report something, Connor continued, his voice steady despite the tension. 

Howard’s frown deepened. “Report someone? Who?” 

Connor swiftly responded, “We have a candidate name Rosalic. She was initially rejected, but then suddenly the Human Resources department informed her that she was hired.”

“According to the HR secretary, she was personally selected by the president,” he added, his voice lowering. “I suspect it may have something to do with potential hidden dealings involving senior management.” 

Rumor has it that the newly appointed president is involved. 

“Shut up!” Howard’s expression darkened. 

“Connor, right? Are you really questioning the company’s hiring process? Get out of here–now!” 

Connor was nearly frozen in 

He hadn’t expected such a strong reaction from Howard. 

He suddenly realized that the rumored new president of Eastvale was none other than Howard himself. 

Reporting Rosalie’s hiring as a possible case of favoritism could very well implicate Howard! 

What an idiot am 17 

Fearing the fallout, Connor turned and hurried out the door. 

“Wait!” 

Howard’s cold voice made him stop abruptly, trembling as he turned back. 

He sneered coldly and said, “Remember, if I hear you spreading rumors anywhere else, I’ll make sure you get kicked out of the company for good!” 

“Yes, yes! Mr. Dixon, I promise I won’t say anything again!” Connor’s back felt damp with sweat as he stumbled out of the vice president’s office. 

Howard glanced at the clock, organizing the files on his desk with a smirk. 

He muttered to himself, “Just as I’m about to take the president’s position, someone tries to stir up trouble. They clearly don’t know their place!” 

As he made his way to the executive conference room on the 20th floor, a crowd of senior executives eagerly approached him with flattery. 

“Mr. Dixon, it’s been said that today’s executive meeting will announce the president of Eastvale, and its highly likely to be you!” 

*Sigh! How can you put it that way? It’s a guarantee–Mr. Dixon is the only one fit for the position!” 

Howard basked in their compliments, enjoying the praise. 

Yet he maintained a facade of humility and responded, “Oh, please, everyone, let’s not jump to conclusions. Before making any assumptions, we shou wait for Shirley to announce my election as Eastvale president. 

“Come on, everyone, let’s head in. The meeting is about to start.”
