Chapter 155


    The next day, at Sentiment Chemical Limited, Zayne had gathered everyone from the sales department


    for a corporate meeting. However, Jared hadn''t arrived yet.


    “What''s with Jared? Why hasn''t he arrived at work?” Zayne took a quick nce around and asked.


    He was directing his question toward Hilda because he knew that she would most probably know the


    reason behind Jared''ste arrival.


    However, Hilda had no clue about where Jared was. She was getting nervous, as she thought


    something bad might have happened to him. What if he got into troublest night? Maybe he lied to me


    so that I wouldn''t be worried about him!


    “Jared should be here soon,” Hilda blurted as she took out her phone to give Jared a call.


    “I''ll make a record of this. He has only been here a few days, and yet he''s alreadyte for work!” Zayne


    said coldly.


    Zayne took full advantage of the situation because he was keen on having dirt on Jared.


    “Mr. Carlson, perhaps he has realized that he was too full of himself by promising to secure the contract


    with Cosmic Chemical. Thus, he''s too embarrassed to show his face here!” Lydia mocked while


    “That could be it!” Zayne nodded.


    The others started to mock Jared as well. They knew that it was a tough task to secure the contract.


    Since Zayne and Maria had failed to secure it after making several attempts, it was very unlikely that an


    insignificant salesperson like Jared would be able to do it.


    “That''s not it! Jared will surely be here.” Hilda jumped to Jared''s defense.


    “It''s sote already. I bet he''s just too embarrassed toe!” Lydia sniggered.


    “Other than talking big, Jared is good for nothing else!” Maria added. After all the things that had


    happened recently, her hatred for Jared was piling up.


    Anxious, Hilda was still trying to reach Jared by making calls.


    By the time Jared answered the call, he was already making his way into the office. He waste


    because he couldn''t wake up in time after a whole night long of cultivating his spiritual energy.


    “You''re finally here, Jared! I thought something bad happened to you!” Hilda greeted with a sigh of


    relief.


    “Nothing bad happened to me! I couldn''t get up in time.” Jared smiled.


    “Jared, you''re a worker! You should at least be punctual. Since you''rete, you''ll be fined five hundred


    as punishment,” Zayne yelled furiously.


    A penalty of five hundred was considered much, since Jared had only been working for a few days.


    “Mr. Carlson, isn''t five hundred a bit too much? Could you give Jared another chance, since this is only


    his first offense?” Hilda pleaded.


    “There are rules in thispany. There''s no way around it. The amount is stated in thepany


    policy.” Zayne smirked.


    “Whatever. I don''t care.” Jared wasn''t bothered by the penalty at all.


    Upon seeing that, Zayne was infuriated. He then roared, “Do you remember what you said yesterday,


    Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Jared? If you fail to secure the contract with Cosmic Chemical by today, you''ll have to resign!”


    “All right. Whatever you say!” Jared replied nonchntly as he took his seat.


    Zayne was extremely irritated by Jared''s attitude. However, his mood improved when the thought of


    Jared resigning crossed his mind.


    “Jared, Ynda told me that one of our exssmates is working in Cosmic Chemical. Maybe I can put


    in a good word for you. In fact, that person is an office administrator in thepany. I think he could be


    instrumental to your task!” Hilda said.
