could see the shock in their eyes. They were surprised at how I finally stood up for myself. But didn't bully Lily on purpose
if Lily hadn't tried to pick a fight with me, I was willing to be at peace with her. But evidently, Lily had no intentions for peace. When Iceturned to the design department, everyone looked at me differently. out what happened just
The company might've been big, but there were many groupchats made for gossiping. To no surprise, tumed on my phone to see people gossiping about
"Did taget possessed? She's been so skinny lately is something really wrong?"
"Maybe she just doesn't want to endure it anymore. She's been cheated on for the years. Anyone would go crazy!"
"Uly just ran to Mr. Harmon's office, crying thetoo bucks that Dwa is going to get lectured
b20bucks, but might walk away unscathed."
People started making bets, but the majority believed that Leonard would try to avenge his mistress. It seemed that everyone had the same perception of Leonard
Over the years, Leonard was seemingly protective of me, but every time had a conflict with his mistress, I was always the first to be reprimanded. But this time, I wasn't reprimanded, and everything seed Eine When it was almost time to get off work, Jean came to me with a stack of documents.
Jean said woefully, "Eva, the secretary department said Mr. Harmon is busy and didn't allow me to meet him. He hasn't signed these papers yet.
"The supplier hest called. They haven't received the payment, and they're threatening to increase the price. What do we do?"
After taking a look at the documents, frowned. "Why did you prepare so many sets of these
"Ms. Jane said that the format and font were incorrect, and she kept asking us to revise them. When I finally made the revisions, they told us that he couldn't sign the papers. What do we do now? Jean was on the verge of tears, and I fully understood how she felt the company suffered any losses, somebody would have to be responsible for it.
When the supplier increased the unit price, even though it didn't seem
much, it would cost the company millions of dollars
Trushed into Leonard's office with the documents to find Lily seated next to him enjoying a rupeaks.
"You must be really busy, Mr. Harmon. Did you note the time to even sign some papers?
Thanded the documents to Leonard and said, "Because you didn't sign them, the finance department couldn't make the payment. Now, the suppliers are asking to increase the
"This is not per team's responsibility. When you're trying to hold somebody accountable, please be mind of that."
Lily immediately stood up and said nervously, "It's past office hours now. What's wrong with Mr. Harmon being busy? Must he constantly work?"
"I don't care what you say Jean has been trying to meet you for hours. Both of you can figure this out yourselves."
After saying what I needed to say, I didn't want to stay here and witness their lowey dowy interactions anymore.
I knew that I was the cause of the incident, but I couldn't let Jean be responsible for the outcome. Nobody could afford to be held responsible for this.
Leonard glanced at me icily. Then, he looked at the document and frowned. To have been able to be the bear of the Harmon Group, Leonard was no fool.
new Leonard realized that this was a big problem. I wondered what he planned to do. But had everestimated him. Leonard simply scoffed and retumed the documents to me. "This is your department's fault, of course, you will be held responsible"
"I'm sorry, but I'm from the design department. Also, there were records of Jean's work actitles. They sent the documents to Ms. Jane) I
"Why don't we proceed with the company's internal investigation process and publicize this to the board of directors? What do you think?"
I smiled at Leonard and gazed at Lily, who was now as white as a sheet. I reckoned she only intended to find trouble with me, but she hadn't expected such a major problem to of materials
It was not a supplier that we regularly collaborated with. We had only chosen to work with this supplier because of a temporary shortage of The supplier had offered a low price, but Harmon Group couldn't pay in time, it was no wonder that the supplier increased their prices. Leonard looked at the document again and asked, "How much did they increase the price by
*0.5%. The estimated construction cost will increase by approximately 1%."
Upon hearing that, Leonard couldn't stay calm anymore. He gazed at me intently. I wouldn't le about work, and Ishowed him the budget.
Teentimed, "This is only the apparent price increase they discontinue the partnership, the project will be delayed. This will incur additional costs and other expenses."
with every word I said, Lily became more pale, I noticed she was trying to say something, but she couldn't verbalize anything
Leonard looked through the documents. Then, he rubbed his temples. Leard had the habit of rubbing his temples every time he encountered something difficult If anything went wrong with the materials, it would be more than several million dollars of additional costs. Leonard looked at me again and said, "You're the person in charge. You go negotiate with them"
"Tee I'm the desipa drerim, and this is not my responsibility," I said, outrightly rejecting Leonard's p
s proposal.
Not only was this not my responsibility, but even if it were my responsibility, I had no intentions to interfere or at least, I wouldn't do it for free.
Althat moment, Leonardaud 1 had an unpercedented chemistry.

Beaming, I said, "This may incur over 10 million dollars of additional costs, right?"
Leonard was baffled, but he laughed. "Sure. If you succeed in the negotiation, I'll give you 500,000 dollars." Flashing him an even bigger smile, I said, "Got it, Mr. Harmon."
