The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 1610

He looked coldly at Ruby. "I only asked you to help me with the work of bridging our Al intelligence technology and the machinery we use. I gave you full authority over the management involved in the area of machinery, but I never seemed to have put you in charge of handling other company matters."

Ruby stood still, and I felt embarrassed for her. After a few brief seconds, she looked up again and looked at Theo as if she had found a new excuse.

"But Mr. Grant, if such important information is so easily privately kept by others, then my work will be in vain. This entails months of hard work from our team.

Not wanting Theo to waste his effort bothering with such things, I spoke again," Following your idea, do you mean to say we should put each employee in a separate room with all office appliances, including computers, provided by us? Should we also install surveillance cameras in each room? Shall we do a thorough inspection when employees clock in and out, maybe even include an X-ray scan of the body?"

I deliberately blew things very out of proportion, but what I said was also in accordance with the conditions set by Ruby's questions.

Ruby looked at me with anger in her eyes. I knew she wanted to say that I was picking a fight with her, and I was indeed doing so. However, she could not just say it out loud in front of Theo, so even if she found a reason to pick on Keith, there was no way I was going to let her have the opportunity to bully him.

"Mrs. Grant, you misunderstood. I don't mean that. The solutions you came up with are useful, but the implementation will have a certain degree of difficulty. It's understandable, though. You're not the manager of the company, after all. Being able to come up with such methods is good, but I believe that Mr. Grant must have his own considerations. After all, he knows just how important the information kept within the company is."

"Oh, yes." Then, she added, "I forgot something. Mrs. Grant, you’ve had a period of rest at home, so you must be rusty with the company's rules. I shouldn't have said that just now. I didn't think it through. Please forgive me, Mrs. Grant." "That's right-" I was about to open my mouth to retort, but Theo got the jump on me.
