Did Miss White Get Permission?
Ted was very satisfied with the results. He chuckled and said casually to Lucille, “Mr. Brown and Mr.
Collins are sharp–eyed. They both want Gloria to be in charge. Do you think they‘re both possessed by
her or they‘re being irrational? Are you serious?”
The crowd dared not speak.
That was what everyone was thinking. Even if they held grievances inside, they had to admit that Gloria
was competent in her work. Many of them began to believe that Gloria would get her job done.
But…
Claude and his followers hated it from the bottom of their hearts when Gloria was trying to snatch back
the White Group. They doubted if such a young woman could manage the company. If Gloria made it,
everyone would think that she proved equal to the task. If it really happened… they might have to
reluctantly obey her orders!
Howard changed color and looked at Claude. “Mr. White, what do you think?”
Claude was speechless with rage.
Howard, are you out of your mind?
What do I think?
How can I possibly let Gloria handle this?
Claude was mute. Yvonne looked at him and smiled, “There is no room for discussion. If only Mr.
Brown wants her to take charge, I may think he‘s being irrational. But Mr. Collins also wants her. He
even sent Harold over to negotiate with us. I see no room for maneuvering.”
Claude remained mute.
Howard took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and then said, “I think… we can let Gloria do it, but now
there‘s another problem. Two companies are willing to pay, so which one should we choose?”
The crowd had no idea.
They were already uncertain whether they should send Gloria there, and now another problem arose!
Ted sneered, “Someone went to Mr. Collins and kept many of us in the dark about it. Now there is
another problem. Can anyone tell me who went to Mr. Collins? Did he or she not consider the
consequences? That‘s not a veteran‘s style. Is Miss White behind all this?”
That sounded way more like sarcasm.
Apparently, Ted suspected Angela, but in fact, he scorned Claude as an old and ignorant chairman.
To avoid trouble, Ted chose to express his doubts about Angela‘s motives, not Claude‘s ability.
The color went out of Claude‘s face. Ted was setting him up!
Claude took a breath and said embarrassedly, “Angela wanted to be helpful and talked to Mr. Collins.
They are boyfriend and girlfriend and will get married someday, you know…”
Claude‘s followers knew the inside story and said nothing.
“What?” Yvonne asked in an exasperated voice, “Mr. White, I don‘t get it. Even if they‘re a couple, it
doesn‘t mean that they have to share all the secrets. This is a corporate secret. It‘s okay that your
daughter shared the problem with Mr. Collins, but she shouldn‘t have told him all the details.”
A vein throbbed in Claude‘s forehead as if he would explode at any moment.
