Making 653


    Stemme stepped into the lobby of thepany building


    As the employees arrived for work in the morning, men and women alike greeted Sterne with nods


    and cheerful greetings. “Good morning, Mr. Heller!”


    How are you, Mr. Heller and more.


    Sterne acknowledged these staff with a smile and a nod, “Morning…


    As soon as he stepped into the building. Sterne, as the CEO, became the center of attention for


    everyone around.


    He knew that maintaining a low profile was impossibile as a CEO, as people greeted him wherever


    he went.


    At this moment, Sterne noticed that Gilmore and ire had reached an elevator.


    There was no need to guess that they intended to take the elevator upstairs.


    But Sterne was aware that the floors above housed offices for different departments within the


    Kenda Company.


    Gilmore and ire were not employees of Kenda Company, so what was their purpose in going


    upstairs?


    Steme frowned and immediately called out to a group of ten burly security guards stationed nearby,


    “Security, stop that map and that woman. Don’t let them trespass into ourpany’s office area.”


    As Sterne shouted for the security team, he pointed at


    Gilmore and ire


    As he shouted, arriving employees immediately turned their gazes to Gilmore and ire.


    They all wore curious expressions.


    Why was their CEO, Mr. Heller, in such a hurry to have the security guards intercept two


    individuals?


    Who were those two?


    Responding to Sterne’s orders, the dozen burly security guards quickly surrounded Gilmore and


    ire.


    The security guards didn’t grasp why Sterne had suddenly instructed them to stop Gilmore and


    ire.


    However, as Sterne was the CEO, if he wanted them to stop the two, they should do just that,


    regardless of the


    circumstances.


    Gilmore and ire, however, remained remarkablyposed despite being surrounded by the


    security guards.


    They seemed as if these security guards were nothing more than mere flies, almost like onlookers


    witnessing an unusual


    situation


    The employees in the lobby also stopped in their tracks, watching Gilmore, ire, and Sterne with a


    growing sense of curiosity.


    They were eager to find out what was happening.


    Just then, Sterne walked over and stared at Gilmore and ire, who were surrounded by the


    security guards. He coldly remarked, “You’re not even employees of the Kenda Company, yet


    you’re trying to intrude into ourpany’s headquarters. What’s your intention


    Hearing Sterne’s words, the people around also noticed that Gilmore and ire didn’t have


    employee badges on them.


    |||


    It became evident that these two individuals were not even employees of the Kenda Company


    headquarters?


    What was their deal storming into thepany like this?


    Could they be up to some shady business, like thieves or something?


    F


    At this point, the dozen or so security guards also realized that Gilmore and ire were not wearing


    their employee badges,


    Their foreheads began to bead with cold sweat, realizing this was a massive slip–up in their work..


    In the past, everyone entering and exiting the building was apany employee.


    They never expected that two non–employees would slip in today.


    Their oversight was inexcusable, especially for failing to notice that Gilmore and ire were not


    wearing their employee badges.


    It was a serious blunder.


    It seemed like they had be toocent, thinking that everything would always run


    smoothly without any issues.


    But today, a problem had arisen, and it was thepany’s CEO who had spotted it.


    These security guards were all very concerned about th


    b security from this point forward.


    “Security, listen, take these two individuals downstairs for a thorough investigation. If they are


    thieves or have any suspicious intentions, immediately call the police, Sterne ordered the dozen


    security guards.


    The dozen security guards wanted to make amends for their oversight and eagerly agreed to


    Sterne’s directive.


    Then, the lead security officer, wearing a stern expression, red at Gilmore and ire and said.


    “Are you going to leave on your own, or should we escort you out?”


    However, Gilmore remained unflinching and addressed the security guard, “Why should I leave? I


    am an employee of thispany, anding to my workce is only natural.”


    What Gilmore said wasn’t out of line, considering he was the secondrgest shareholder of the


    Kenda Company.


    So, in a way, he was as much a part of thispany as anyone else


    But the security guards were not convinced that Gilmore belonged to thepany, or else their


    CEO, Mr. Heller, wouldn’t have ordered them to intercept Gilmore and ire.


    “Oh, you’re from the Kenda Company, and this is your workce? As the CEO of the Kenda


    Company, howe I didn’t know anything about that?” Sterne mocked


    Sterne harbored a deep hatred for Gilmore because of what had transpired two days ago when


    Gilmore had urged Mr. Vergil to oust him from thepany.


    This filled Sterne with a deep–seated hatred for Gilmore


    Now, with Gilmore and ire showing up at the Kenda Company, Sterne was convinced they


    were here to discuss the exclusive operating rights.


    If he didn’t take this chance to thoroughly humiliate Gilmore, how could he ever satisfy his grudge?


    As Sterne’s words came out, the employees who were watching the spectacle began to point


    fingers at Gilmore and ire.


    “Mr. Heller is right!”


    “He ims to be an employee of thepany, but has anyone seen him before?”


    “I’ve never seen him.”


    “Without even an employee badge, he clearly doesn’t belong to thepany.”


    It seemed that these employees were trying to gain favor with Sterne, and so they all joined in


    questioning Gilmore.


    However, Gilmore was unfazed by their skeptical remarks.


    Gilmore looked at Sterne and exined, “Sterne, Lapologize, but both ire and I joined the Kenda


    Company justst night, so it’spletely normal that you wouldn’t know us,”


    Sterne had lost his patience by now, and anger red in his eyes. He ordered the security guards,


    “This guy is just talking


    nonsense.


    “Drag them away right now. We can’t let them disrupt thepany’s normal operations.”


    “Yes, Mr. Heller,” the lead security officer acknowledged.


    Then the lead security officer, with a menacing re,manded the other security guards, “Get


    them


    With this order, the other burly security guards attacked Gilm id ire, revealing a fierce and


    intimidating demeanor.


    The faces of the male and female employees in the surrounding crowd bore a hint of mockery.


    They were all thinking. These two are ying with fire. They don’t work here, but they just won’t


    leave, practically daring, thepany’s security guards to step in.


    It’s crystal clear that they are asking for a serious beatdown from those beefy guards, and a one–


    way ticket to the police station is pretty much guaranteed.”


    They had no sympathy for Gilmore and ire, believing the two intruders had brought it upon


    themselves.


    But then, a series of thudding sounds followed by one agonized cry after another echoed through


    the hall..


    Soon, one by one, the burly security guards were sent flying andnded hard on the floor.


    All the security guards wore expressions of pain, gritting their teeth and moaning in agony. Their


    bodies appeared as if they had been disassembled, and not one of them could stand up.


    This left everyone in the crowdpletelyPublished by N?v''elD/rama.Org.
