Chapter 70 - He doesn’t have to know
Though in a wheelchair, Alex’s expression was so intimidating that all heads were lowered except Joanna’s.
Something about his actions right now caused her heart to flutter, and his words only intensified the feeling.
"Must it take an hour to get rid of an insignificant person?" His cold gaze settled on Daphne, whose tears were now mixed with sweat.
The man in the wheelchair was so sophisticated and daunting, unlike anything she had ever seen before.
Had she known, she would have been more polite towards Jack when he arrived, as she was to others.
None of this would have happened if she hadn’t been influenced by the rumors she heard about the acting CEO, especially the ones about Grandpa Aristotle being embarrassed by it.
It was rumored among the staff, through illegal channels, that Logan should have been the acting CEO since Alexander was bedridden, but Grandpa had to appoint this ’cripple.’
The lazy employees didn’t like his policies, and a bunch had already been fired, fueling the rumors further as Alex never made a physical appearance.
Edmund was the one they all knew, as he was always the one conveying information on behalf of the acting CEO.
"I’m sorry, sir, Daphne was just on her way out," the HR manager said nervously, glaring at the security guard who had almost mistreated Joanna.
Even though she had only met Alex once in person, he already had concerns about the slow pace of her office’s operations.
