The Ice-Cold Executive Gets A Wife Novel - Chapter 168
Chapter 168: Here To See Sophia?
“I will find you, for sure!”
Sebastian clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth.
Sebastian heard a series of knocks. Sebastian turned around and shouted, “Come in!”
“Mr. CEO, there are two documents for you to sign. Please take a look.” Bruce walked into the office, respectfully handed the two documents to Sebastian, and then waited for Sebastian’s instructions.
Sebastian casually flipped through the two documents and found that they were the contracts between Woody Company and NRTE. He casually tossed them onto the table and said to Bruce, “You may leave for now. I will review these documents later.”
“But…” Bruce had no intention of leaving.
Sebastian picked up the document on the table and read it carefully. He looked at the terms on the document and found that there was nothing wrong, so he was ready to sign his name.
But he stopped writing and looked up at Bruce thoughtfully. If Wright’s information was correct, he was one of the three suspects.
“Woody Company wants us to change the person in charge. What do you think about this?” Sebastian knew that Bruce had opposed Sophia’s hiring from the start.
“This…” Bruce said with some hesitation, “I think it’s a misunderstanding. If it’s a misunderstanding, it won’t be so bad. If there’s something wrong, let’s rearrange for a new person in charge. Sophia is a very responsible person. I don’t think we should take this opportunity away from her just because she hasn’t done anything before.”
“Oh? Haven’t you always disagreed with Sophia’s hiring?” Sebastian looked at him meaningfully, trying to find a flaw in his actions and expression.
Bruce lowered his head. “I think Sophia is a good candidate. Although she may be lacking in some aspects, I believe that as long as time passes, all of this can be changed. As long as we are willing to be patient, we can improve Sophia’s work attitude and capabilities. She can be competent in any role.”
Her only weakness was that she was pregnant, Bruce thought. Sophia was indeed a good investment analyst. He didn’t dare to stand in front of the room during his internship, not to mention pitch projects to so many big shots, but Sophia was not afraid at all. This was something he didn’t expect of her.
“Oh?” Sebastian laughed and said, “Why do I hear you speaking up for her now? Didn’t you hate her the most?”
Bruce shook his head and said thoughtfully, “I’m just stating a fact.”
With Sebastian’s understanding of Bruce, he was sincere at the moment. That washed away the suspicion in his heart, so now, he was down to two suspects.
“Okay then. Go and send this document to Woody Company. Remember, I don’t want to see this happening again,” Sebastian said.
“Okay, got it.’
“Also, keep an eye on Woody Company’s movements. Since they want to use this as a bargaining chip, we must not let them succeed easily,” Sebastian added.
Sebastian didn’t want to replace Sophia, nor was he stupid enough to lose Woody Company, a huge client. He knew that Bruce had always been good at maintaining customer relations. With his help, he could make people happy. After he suppressed the issue with the video, there would be no problem with Sophia and the project.
“Yes, Mr. CEO,” Bruce nodded and agreed.
Sebastian waved, signaling Bruce to leave.
Bruce closed the door and left the office.
Sebastian continued to read the two contracts on the table.
As he read the contracts, he recalled everything he knew about Sophia in the past. He found Sophia to be very talented, and she was very professional. With such physical conditions, she could become an NRTE’s employee in such a short time was simply incredible.
This also meant that Sophia was a knowledgeable and capable girl. “She is able to earn Bruce’s respect. It seems that I haven’t misjudged her,” Sebastian exclaimed.
Sebastian looked at the time. It was already 6:30 pm. He would continue investigating the other two suspects tomorrow.
He then remembered that Sophia had asked him for a leave of absence. He was distracted earlier. How long did she ask for again?
He didn’t know how she was doing back on campus. As far as Sebastian knew, the students of his alma mater were not easy to deal with. He had also seen Sophia being bullied a few times on campus.
When Sebastian came back to his senses from his pondering, he found himself parked outside the campus dormitory.
“What a coincidence, Seb. Are you here to see Sophia?” Raphael got out of the car in front of him. He was here to see Olivia..
