Chapter 48


    I nodded and said, "Yes. I''m not too familiar with it, so it''s quite a headache."


    He nodded and agreed with me, "Thepany has just been listed for a year, and there will surely be


    a huge difference between this year''s auditing and the previous years''. A slight mistake will lead to the


    rapid decline of thepany''s shares. To make matters worse, manypanies had gone bankrupt


    because of auditing. It must be tough for you."


    Since he spoke in a serious tone, I stopped my work and listened to him attentively. He continued,

    "Besides, we changed our auditingpany this year. You have to be conscientious when you work."


    I understood that he was giving me a reminder.


    "Hendrix clearly knows that this isn''t my forte, so why did he hand this task over to me?" If I made a


    mistake, it would cost the entire Roberts Group their operation and business. The risk was too great,


    thus I didn''t understand Hendrix''s intentions.


    Josiah sat up straight, looked at me and exined, "If you handle this well, the shares that Master


    Roberts left under your name will be properly transferred to you. The right to use and the right to


    control thepany will be in your hands, and you will also be a partner of thepany."


    After a pause, he tidied up his clothes and added, "But if you screw this up, bad things will happen to


    Roberts Group, and you may need to leave thepany permanently."


    I frowned, unable to form proper words.


    Did Hendrix want to gamble the entire Roberts Group on me, or...


    I tried not to overthink. Closing the ount book in my hand and opening the lid for the soup that


    Josiah had brought, I gazed at him and asked, "I''ve already taken over Advancer Tech''s case, but why


    did Hendrix want me to pay attention to Fantasia Company''s movements?"


    Josiah frowned slightly, seemingly in deep thought. After a while, he told me, "Advancer Tech was


    acquired by Roberts Group because of financial difficulties. Austin was the one who managed this


    before you. I think the reason why Hendrix gave the job to you now is that he wants you to familiarize


    yourself with new technology. After all, policies are being formed now so the country will support the


    development of inte and technologypanies. In the future, most of Roberts Group''s industries


    may consist only of new technology, that''s why he wants you to learn about these in advance."


    He then continued saying after a slight pause, "As for Fantasia Company, I''m afraid he has ns to


    acquire it in near future. Perhaps he wants you to keep an eye on it so that he can learn about that


    I nodded and took a few sips of the soup. It tasted quite good. I looked at him and said, "Thank you for


    your care all this while."


    Josiah smiled and got up to leave.


    "Are you leaving?" I questioned and turned to look at the sky outside, which was already turning dark.


    He nodded before telling me, "Yeah, I have another dinner party tonight. I have to attend it."


    I nodded again and felt a little disappointed. I had initially thought that there would be someone to eat


    supper with me.


    When I saw him leave, I drank some more soup and continued to study the documents for a while. I left


    when I couldn''t stand it anymore.


    I got into my car, and before I could even start the engine, Monique phoned me.


    I looked at the time and saw that it was already ten o''clock. After picking up the call, she took the lead


    and chirped, "Baby, guess where I''m at now?"


    Listening to her tone, I thought for a moment and guessed, "Andnd?"


    "D*mn!" She swore, "Miss Reid, you are so boring. You''re not romantic at all."


    Hearing her words, I was eighty percent sure that I had guessed it correctly. I chuckled and replied, "It''s


    not your first day knowing me. How is it going? Have you found a suitable store?"


    Roberts Group''s underground parking lot was veryrge and empty. While I was sitting in the car and


    talking on the phone, I could vaguely hear eerie echoes.


    "Mmm-hmm! Andnd is indeed a good ce. It''s a suitable location to settle down since life is


    slowpaced here. I''ve stayed here for a few days and I like it. The weather isn''t bad either. It''s an


    amazing ce to live in."


    Monique started rambling. I then turned on the loudspeaker and started the car, slightly unnerved by


    the sheer emptiness in the hangar.
