Chapter 1229: Dean’s little kitten
[PIERSON CORPORATION]
"So, how’s your time in Director Dean’s department?" William asked as they neared their floor. "Is he giving you a hard time?"
Jonathan responded with a meek smile. "He gives me plenty of work, but since it’s just a training phase, I don’t mind. Besides, it’s time to prove that I’m more than capable." — And that he wasn’t just meant to be stuck in Dean’s office.
"Good, good!" William laughed.
"How about you, Uncle?" Jonathan returned. "I heard you’ve been working closely with the new COO. I’ve heard a lot about him in a work setting, but I don’t think he’d cross the line and forget seniority."
William’s smile faltered slightly, and his lackeys cleared their throats.
"Of course not!" one of the lackeys quickly interjected. "Atlas Bennet might try, but even with his position, he still has to work hard to earn Director William’s approval!"
"Atlas Bennet puts on a strong front, but when it’s just him and Director William, he surprisingly knows how to show respect."
"Besides, why would he have any reason to challenge Director William when the director has proven himself time and time again?"
Jonathan studied their reactions, his face twitching slightly. They all said that, but their words reeked of forced assurance.
So, he wasn’t the only one suffering under Atlas, huh?
Jonathan might not fully understand it yet, but Atlas was a man of his word. When Atlas was appointed Chief Operating Officer, he had made it clear—he would be watching William’s every step, every breath, everything.
