Chapter 40 Climbing the Ranks.
The HR representative’s words weren’t a threat but facts
Previously, there had been news about how a project manager had contacted another company near the end of his employment with his current company, ready to switch jobs the moment his contract ended.
The manager faced a lawsuit for dereliction of duty, which had led to significant financial harm to the company. The company had done this on purpose to screw over the manager. The case went on for two
years
Even though the manager was deemed not guilty of his charges, all his efforts were wasted, and
ultimately, his reputation was ruined for good.
Emelie responded, “I know what I need to do.”
She parted ways with the representative after dinner. When she went to the washroom, she happened to overhear the conversation between two servers outside.
“Did you see the woman who was beside Mr. Middleton? She seemed quite cunning
“Yeah, I did, I think she’s Mr. Middleton’s secretary. She keeps on topping his glass up as if she can’t wait
to get him drunk.
The other server said, “Of course, she can’t wait. How else could she sleep with him? Women nowadays
are something..
“Shh! Come on, we still need to get the wines out.”
Emelie left the cubicle after the servers were gone. She washed her hands before drying them.
Considering what the HR representative had mentioned earlier, along with the information revealed by the
servers, she decided to head to William’s private room.
The door had been left open. Emelie pretended to walk by and peered in.

The secretary was sitting beside William, the latter who was somewhat drunk now. His eyes were hazy, and a faint smile surfaced on his lips when he spoke to the clients.
The moment he set down his wine glass, his secretary filled it to the brim for him again. William immediately picked it up and drank some more.
William never usually drank so much when he was working. He was probably doing so because he was in a bad mood today. He drank shot after shot of alcohol every single time the clients toasted him.
When the clients took out their agreement for William to sign, they handed him a pen, which the secretary helped tighten his grip around.
Emelie was taken aback,
Were they scheming against William all at once?
Supposedly, Emelie should’ve left by now. But she felt uneasy when she recalled how the secretary had actively assisted the client in making William sign the contract.
Emelie stiffened.
