Chapter 68
"Sure, the guy messed up first by using some dodgy ingredients for a quick buck, but hey, no one got hurt, right? And the company made it up to them. Can’t you let him off the hook just this once?"
Rosemary asked in a slow, deliberate tone, "And how do I do that?"
"Maybe just let bygones be bygones; ask him to provide free meals for the employees for half a year or a year. Don’t worry, I’ll keep a tight leash on the ingredient quality; he won’t be able to pull a fast one."
"So, this happened because you dropped the ball on your oversight?" Rosemary’s gaze held him in place, a slight pressure in her eyes. "Mr. Oscar, don’t you think you bear some responsibility?"
"Yes, I do bear some responsibility." Oscar lowered his head. If there were any other ways, he wouldn’t have come to ask this lady for help.
"If you don’t mind the employees eating food with additives, why don’t you do the same? Eat it for a year, and then we can talk."
"Ms. Rose, are you pulling my leg?" Oscar tried to smile charmingly and say, "In a year, my relative will be eating prison food."
"Isn’t prison food better than food with additives? At least it’s healthier."
Oscar was completely at a loss for words.
"As the vice president of the company, you didn’t reflect on your actions immediately after the incident, nor did you think about how to compensate the employees. Instead, you defended your relative. I really don’t know where you get the nerve to discuss this with me. If you’re hoping for me to deal with this privately, I’m sorry, but I can’t." Hearing Rosemary’s firm refusal, Oscar felt his heart sink. But considering
that his relative’s problem might affect him, he had to plow ahead.
