Laura replied immediately, "Isn't it obvious? Of course, I'll pick the 520 million. Azure Group is going to be ruined, so which fool would stay? You don't even know if the company will survive until the end of the year, and yet you're talking about a year-end bonus. It'll be a blessing if the company doesn't go bankrupt by then!" Laura sneered mockingly. After all, she had worked hard for four years, but she saw no benefits. The competition between these companies was also getting stronger year by year, so it was very difficult to make a turnover. "Got it!" Renee raised her brows and said to Laura, "Sign this contract then. I'll ask the finance department to transfer the money to you later." She pushed the contract to Laura as if she had expected her to choose that option. "I didn't expect you to be so agreeable." Laura quickly signed her name and stood up arrogantly. "I'm leaving, but... I believe that we’ll meet again soon." After she left the office, one of the company staff
The girl adjusted her glasses and looked at Renee sincerely, "In my opinion, I think Azure Group has a promising future. The company isn't very big or profitable yet, but the company's vision is very inspiring. I heard Azure Group is planning to build its own production and R&D center. Hunt Enterprise is one of the few companies in Beach City that dares to do the same, so I think Azure Group will become a big company on par with Hunt Enterprise in the future. It's the right time for me to join now!" The young girl's statement made the senior employees laugh.The PR director put Renee on the spot as he told the girl, "Young lady, you're too naive. You don't know how terrible it is to follow the wrong boss. Our boss isn't a strong woman—she's just a miserable divorcee of a rich family. President Liam and Vice President Laura always supported her, but now they've abandoned ship. Don't you see why?""They ran away due to their lack of vision. I believe in my choice and Ms. Everheart's
"I should head home. I'm a bit worried about my cat. My cat was spayed not long ago, and I live alone. I want to head home and take care of her…" Shelley admitted."Understood. You should head home then, don't worry." Renee said reassuringly.Shelley walked away but turned around when she remembered something. "Ms. Everheart, when I took the elevator this afternoon, I heard about a pervert in this office building. Don't work too late. It might be unsafe.""Don't worry. If he comes to me, he'll get into trouble instead." Renee smirked."You're beautiful, Ms. Everheart, so you'd better be careful. We should stay far away from twisted men like these." Shelley looked at her boss worriedly."Yes, I understand. I'll be careful." Renee looked up and smiled warmly at Shelley. Her concern was touching.After Shelley left, Renee was the only one still working overtime on that floor. All the lights in the office area were turned off except for the ones in Renee's office. The floor seemed co
Once Shelley got home, she realized she had left her keys at the company's workstation. She had no choice but to take a taxi back to Azure Group.When Shelley arrived at the office building, she spotted a dark gray sports car parked in the open parking lot of the building. "Wow! It's an Aston Martin One-77. Isn't this a limited edition? There are only three of these cars in the world. How come it's here?"Although the young lady seemed like a nerdy girl, she was rebellious at heart. Ever since she was a kid, she loved sports cars, rock music, and extreme sports. Shelley froze, her eyes glued to the car. She hurriedly took out her phone and took multiple photos of it, then realized the car's owner was still sitting inside the car.Shelley's cheeks turned red, and she quickly leaned down and apologized to the car owner. "So sorry for causing you trouble!"As she turned to leave, the car owner suddenly rolled down his window and said in a deep voice, "Are you working for Azure Group
Shelley had some of Renee's rebelliousness in her. She was uncooperative and rebuked Stefan. "Mr. Hunt, please be clear. I'm working as Ms. Everheart's assistant, not yours. Why should I listen to you?""If you want your boss to be safe, do as I say. If we delay, the situation might get worse." Stefan commanded.Shelley sensed the murderous aura in Stefan's eyes and quickly gave in. When she dialled Renee's number on her cell phone, she got an automated reply instead. "The number you dialed is temporarily unavailable.""Why can't I get through? The signal in the building is excellent. Is Ms. Everheart's phone out of battery?" Shelley found it a little odd. Ms. Everheart would keep her phone charged if she was still in the office. Why would her phone be out of battery? Was she off work and on her way back home?"You're taking too long!" Stefan had lost his patience. He opened the door, stepped out of his sports car, and headed straight to the office lobby.Although she was confused
Shelley searched around but did not find Renee, so she figured Renee must have gone home.Shelley said to Stefan, who was still sitting in Renee's chair, "Mr. Hunt, Ms. Everheart must have gone home. This is Azure Group's office, so I hope you remember your position as an outsider. You should leave now. I'm going to lock the door."Stefan rested his chin on his interlocked fingers, then said with a cold look in his eyes, "No, she's not home yet."If she had gone home, he would have seen her."If she's not home, where else could she be?" Shelley gathered her courage and questioned Stefan, "Mr. Hunt, you insist on staying and won't leave. Are you trying to steal the company's secrets?"Stefan snorted in disdain. "This is such a small workshop. What secrets would this company have that are worth stealing?"Shelley fought the urge to roll her eyes, and said awkwardly, "Right. Hunt Enterprise wouldn't have to steal information from Azure Group. Even if they did, it's unlikely for you
Stefan coldly asked the question."A-Alright, Mr. Hunt!" The security guard switched on the surveillance camera for the number two elevator.Renee was by herself the entire time, but a man in a plaid shirt suddenly walked in when the elevator stopped on the sixth floor.The duo conversed for a while before Renee retrieved her phone and made a call. The man took the phone from Renee.After that, Renee passed out in the elevator. The man then pulled her close into his arms."Damn it!" Stefan looked like he was about to murder someone. "Who is this guy? Find him right now."How dare that man touch Renee? Stefan was determined to break the man's arms since he'd laid them on Renee.The security guard rubbed his glasses before gasping. "T-This guy was the person we caught not long ago. He was caught secretly filming women in the bathroom. The company has already fired him. Why did he come back?"The surveillance footage continued to show the man carrying Renee out of the elevator aft
In a dim underground space, a light bulb flickered on and off. There was a damp, musty smell in the air. Rats squeaked and scurried about in a pile of trash.Renee was lying on an old, torn mat. Still groggy, she struggled to open her eyes."You're finally awake. I was worried I went too far with the drugs and ended up killing you!" The man in a plaid shirt gave his glasses a nudge while he stared at Renee. His smile was creepy.Renee wanted to get up, but her hands and feet were bound by ropes. The worst part was she barely had any strength to get up."W-Why did you kidnap me? I don't think I've ever done anything to you…" Renee mustered all her strength to speak, and yet her voice still sounded weak."You did nothing to me, of course. You're just unlucky for bumping into a pervert like me…" The man kneeled next to Renee and touched her face. The softness of her skin excited him."Tsk, tsk. Your face, your skin, and your body… Even if I only get to do this once, I'd die with no
