The Ice-Cold Executive Gets A Wife Novel - Chapter 170
Chapter 170: Inexplicably Angry
When he walked into the office and saw Sophia’s empty seat, the words’ see you tomorrow’ from last night echoed in Sebastian’s mind.
So, she, who had never asked for leave and would even forget about her prenatal checkup, asked for leave just to help that man? Had she even forgotten about the project she was working on? Was that guy so important?
“Thank you, Mr. CEO, for your understanding. I have already signed the contract and had someone bring it over. I hope that we can have pleasant cooperation this time.”
Sebastian’s expression was extremely gloomy.
Were they thanking him for his understanding? This was not what he had meant. Who did such a despicably petty thing?
He had never thought that this would happen. He had never thought that the employees at his company would do such shameless acts. Could they have thought that they would be able to keep it a secret by doing so? They were really too naive.
He quickly went down to the seventeenth floor.
“Bruce, explain.
“I think this was not their idea!” Sebastian said gloomily. He knew that this was not Woody Company’s employees’ idea but the decision of his subordinates. He had to find out who gave his people such courage.
“What’s the matter? Why are you so angry?”
“How did Woody Company come to this agreement?” Sebastian asked as he dumped a stack of contracts on the table.
“I don’t know. I asked the intern to send the email. Jessica, come here.”
“Yes, Mr. CEO. It is indeed our fault. We know that we have made a mistake, and we are willing to accept the punishment!”
“So, what are you going to do?”
Jessica saw Sebastian walking in aggressively just now. Yes, she was responsible for sending the email to Woody Company, and she did play a little trick. She said that NRTE was willing to change the person in charge in between the lines. After all, cooperation was the most important thing.
Jessica thought that as long as they got the contract, her chance of becoming a full-time employee after her internship would be much greater. Moreover, she had asked Bruce for his opinion on this. She felt relieved after Bruce nodded in acquiescence. However, when she was called into the office, she knew that things were not looking good for her.
“I hope that Mr. CEO can give me a chance to make up for my mistake!” Jessica looked at the gloomy-faced Sebastian and admitted her mistake.
Sebastian sneered and shook his head. He felt that these people were stupid. This girl had the audacity to try and find a way out for herself at moments like this? It was foolish. He answered coldly, “Make up for your mistake? I find that funny. If you hadn’t done such an infuriating thing, I wouldn’t have needed to deal with you. Now you want me to forgive you? What a wishful thinking!”
“Mr. CEO, perhaps I wasn’t great at conveying my message. I know that what I did was indeed ridiculous, and I’m willing to accept the punishment. But please, Mr. CEO, for the sake of my long period of hard work, give me a chance to correct my mistake!”
Jessica placed the blame on herself. She knew that her immediate supervisor was Bruce, and she would only live the day if Bruce survived, too. This was also a good way to show her loyalty.
“A chance to correct your mistake? Hah! Do you think you have a lighter workload? Let me tell you, this time, I will punish you harshly. This time, I will not forgive you easily. I will not let you off lightly, for sure!”
When they heard that Sebastian wanted to punish them severely, their faces instantly turned pale. They did not expect that this would become so troublesome.
“1 believe that you will give us a light punishment this time. After all, we are also your subordinates. We are your capable generals!” Bruce said to help Jessica out.
“Capable generals?”
“No, no, loyal subjects. We have been with you for so long. You are our idol!” Sebastian smiled mockingly. “Hah, you think I am your idol. You are ridiculous.”
“Mr. CEO, just give us a chance to repent. We know our mistake!”
“You know your mistake? If you knew that earlier, you wouldn’t have done such a thing. I think you have a screw loose!”
“Mr. CEO, we know we have made a mistake, but we were forced to do so. After all, this involves the interests of the company. We had no choice!”
“Yes, we had no choice. That’s why we are begging you for mercy. I believe that you will forgive us this time!” “Forgive? Why should I forgive you? You should bear the consequences since you’ve done this!”
“Mr. CEO…”
“Stop talking nonsense and get lost!”
Seeing that Sebastian was so determined, these employees knew that this could not be salvaged, so they could only walk out resentfully. They did not understand why Sebastian, who was usually calm, got so angry.
After losing his temper for no reason, Sebastian was also surprised that he lost his temper. Had Sophia already affected him so much?.
