The Man's Decree novel Chapter 67

Chapter 67 Appreciation

“Squad Leader, to be honest, my company is in trouble too. If I can’t overcome this crisis, I’m afraid I will go bankrupt. Therefore, I would only be impeding his career by hiring him,” Franklin confessed with a sigh.

Feeling embarrassed, Gary said, “Franklin, I’m sorry to have made trouble for you. Anyway, don’t worry about Jared. Instead, what problems are your company facing?”

“Our problems? Can you solve them?” Frieda sneered.

“I…” Gary blushed in humiliation.

“Shut up!” Franklin glared at Frieda before saying apologetically, “Squad Leader, ignore her bitchiness. My company has dealings with Glamorous Designs. Unfortunately, they have stopped supplying goods to us, causing our cash flow to be stuck. Consequently, I don’t know how long I can hold out for. As for finding Jared a job, I’ll get Maria to check with her company, since it’s a conglomerate and it provides good benefits. Jared can slowly work his way up from the bottom.”

Visibly upset by Franklin’s words, Maria retorted, “Dad, I’m nothing but a salesperson. I don’t have such authority at all. You’d better not cause me any trouble.”

“You might not be able to do so, but isn’t Zayne the sales manager? Can’t he hire just one person?” Franklin demanded.

“He—”

Before Maria could finish, Franklin threatened, “Enough! This is how it’s going to be. If Zayne doesn’t have the capability to do it, I will have to reconsider his compatibility with you.”

Maria fell silent in response. All she could do was pout in anger.

“Franklin, it took a lot of effort for Maria to join that company. Aren’t you just causing unnecessary trouble for her? Besides, does that company even accept ex-convicts in the first place?” Frieda remonstrated with Franklin after shooting Jared a glance.

Despite feeling upset at being called an ex-convict, Jared kept his temper in check. After all, he felt that Franklin was a good man.

“Dad, let me be frank here. I’ll get him in the door, but whether or not he can pass the interview will be up to his own capabilities.”
