Chapter 2040
Chapter 2040 I Am Foolish
Meanwhile, at the manager''s office, Orchid was deep in thought. Suddenly, she thought of some crucial
details, panicking.
The woman immediately got her subordinates to delve into the research institute''s patented forms.
In the end, the result came back. There were only four patented forms left.
Moreover, these four patented forms had been given to authorized patent agents, a way Roxanne
had used to earn enough cash flow.
“D*mn it! This means I got myself a pretty much useless research institute!” A furious Orchid scolded
her subordinates loudly. “What a bunch of losers!”
IVe should have gotten our hands on the patented forms right away! Now it''s all gone!
These so-called high-level management teams were simply a group of losers to her now.
She trembled angrily while her subordinates remained silent, not daring to talk back.
At that precise moment, Colby knocked on the door.
The door was actually ajar. He had witnessed everything that went down in the room because he stood
outside, unwilling to interrupt, for he wanted to see more of their despair.
But then, he decided to get things done. Colby walked over to Orchid respectfully, “Ms. Downey, this is
the resignation letter of the research institute''s person-in-charge, Ms. Jarvis, and here''s my resignation
letter. I''m honored to work with GK Group before this. However, due to some health concerns, I can no
longer workpetently in my position, so I hope you will approve my resignation!” Colby announced
his high-sounding justification for leaving thepany.
Orchid''s gaze shifted to the two resignation letters, gritting her teeth. She was so angered that her
heart thumped wildly.
“Very well. I approved your resignation!” She peered at Colby with disgust, waving her hands to dismiss
him.
Colby was not ignorant enough to linger. He put thepany seal in front of Orchid before leaving.
“Roxanne, you''re quite something! It looks like I was foolish enough to believe you!”

Colby closed the door as he stepped out of the room. Unfortunately, Orchid''s raging, thunderous words
boomed through the door that one could even hear her from far away.
It was dusk when the newly-resigned Colby arrived at the Flora Verba Group CEO''s office to apply for
his new job.
During that period, James listened to Colby recounting everything that went down earlier. He couldn''t
help but cheer for Roxanne''s tactic of pulling the rug from underneath Orchid and attacking her where
she least expected.
“That''s why I can only work for you from today onward. Please take good care of me, Mr. Lann!”
Colby returned to Flora Verba Group first to prepare for the reopening of the research institute by the
would have a familiar face to turn to.
"Please don''t be so courteous with me, Colby. You''re an exceptionally talented man with excellent
technical skills and fantastic business operation ability! I would have given you this position even if I
didn''t owe Roxanne anything, to begin with!” James said seriously. After all, he had a family business to
inherit.
“I''ll follow your arrangements, Mr. Lann.” Colby smiled.
“Okay. Here''s the deal. You are the vice president of Flora Verba Group from today onward! You will
need to help me out, okay? Don''t just focus on the matters rted to the research institute only!”
Thrilled, James took the chance to share his burden with Colby.
His announcement took Colby by surprise. Colby had never expected himself to be given such a high
position. He thought he would only be a supervisor after creating the research department.
“Hmm... Mr. Lann, do you want to think this through? Or maybe you should inform Ms. Jarvis first?”
Colby was ttered beyond words.
James shook his head, waving his hands dismissively. “Even though she is the chairman, I have the
right to decide. It''s a yes from me, so don''t refuse anymore, okay? Flora Verba Group will have our
independent research institute soon. Once the news gets released, ourpany shares will go off the
charts!”
