Chapter 391: Cold
Lucien Frost stared at the three people standing in front of his desk with their heads bowed, waiting for them to answer. When none of them dared to speak, he clenched his hand and threw the file on his table at their feet, his pateince at an end.
"Is this what you are being paid to do? Or do you think that because zeros have no value, you can add them anywhere. Can you imagine the lossed we would have to incur if this is the quotation we presented to the governement and they accepted? Billions! The least you all can do is double-check what has been written before sending it to my office for finalization! Tell me, can you three afford this difference in amount if I sign these papers and submit them now?"
The three people shook their heads and mumbled apologies, while fearing for their jobs as they glanced at Lucien Frost surreptitiously. WIth a shake of his head, Lucien sent a glance to each of them," Starting immediately, you will undergo mandatory additional training on quality control and accuracy in document preparation.Additionally, you will be placed on probation for the next month, during which your work will be closely monitored."
The employees exchanged anxious glances, realizing the gravity of the situation.
With that, Lucien leaned back in his chair, his expression unyielding as he continued, "Consider this a warning. One more slip-up of this magnitude, and you’ll face more severe consequences, including the possibility of termination. I don’t tolerate incompetence, and I expect nothing less than perfection from my team."
Quickly, the three of them apologized and left the office, thanking their stars that despite their supervisor having flipped his personality was still reasonable enough to give them another chance.
As expected, the discussion around the water cooler was soon rampant as the others talked among themselves," Did you see the way he threw that file? I would have fainted there itself from terror if he’d done that to me."
"I used to be jealous that your desk was facing his office all day and you could admire him. But after this last week, I’m super grateful that I am not in his line of sight. I’ve never seen him so angry. It’s like he’s a completely different person lately."
"I heard Jenny crying in the bathroom. She was actually thankful for the mandatory training. She’d been sure that she was going to be fired."
