The department head’s face instantly paled as beads o f sweat dripped down his forehead. His body began to tremble.
The atmosphere in the meeting room was instantly condensed. The others at the table did not dare to breathe loudly as they were afraid of getting implicated.
Eric was in a good mood earlier and even comforted the department head who made a mistake prior to this and encouraged him to continue his efforts.
However, in the blink of an eye, Eric suddenly became stern, harsh, and unreasonable.
Was Eric's mood swings too sudden, or was his subordinate just too unlucky?
Mitchell, who was on the side, also dared not make a sound. In his heart, he silently mourned for this project department head that was chided.
Perhaps this was fate.
Eric seemed to have fallen into cold sinking darkness. His gloomy gaze swept across that department head.
"Send a detailed report to my office before the end of the day. Otherwise, you can hand in your resignation."
After that, Eric did not bother to glance at the others and strode out of the meeting room.
Mitchell was startled and hurriedly took the phone that Eric threw on the table, then followed Eric with hurried steps.
"President...” Mitchell handed the phone to Eric.
Eric glanced at it and took it as he said in a deep and cold voice, "I asked you to keep an eye on Nicole. Do you know that she went to a meeting with Clayton Sloan?"
Mitchell was stunned. "Ms. Stanton’s meeting is in the neighboring city, to which you've also received an invite. I’ve mentioned it to you before, but since the content of the meeting didn’t seem important, you asked me to politely decline it. Mr. Sloan should be back in three days according to his schedule..."
Thus, Mitchell really did not know that Clayton came back early!
Clayton Sloan looked harmless and gentle, but his ability in Wall Street should not be underestimated. It was a little tough to keep an eye on such an influential person.
Eric's face did not have a trace of warmth as he pushed his office door open. "When will it end?"
"The meeting is only for the afternoon. Ms. Stanton will probably return in the evening..."
Eric coldly swept him a glance. He was very dissatisfied with the word "probably".
Mitchell's head hung even lower as he braced himself
and added, "It's too late for you to go now..."
After all, Eric still had a few important meetings later.
After a long time, Eric commanded, "Get out!"
