Chapter 20: The Rumor
Levi moved to secure the office and made sure no one could enter the room. Then he stood in a corner along with Secretary Lyne who was standing behind Raine. If someone saw the way their Boss was smiling right now they would assume that she was delivering some good news. But that was just her way of showing hell to the people she deals with.
"You know... I’ve been practicing how to tie a necktie properly to help my future husband, so why don’t we see how much I’ve improved after all these years of practice? Shall we?" Raine said and winked.
The CFO gulped, smitten by the beauty of Madame Vice-Chairman and their closeness. Her face was so close to him that he scolded himself into focusing his thoughts on the matter at hand. He was feeling a mixture of emotions but was mostly extremely nervous.
He did not know what he was expecting to happen it was definitely not his Vice-Chairman pulling his necktie while staring him in the eye.
She had a wicked smile on her face which made his jaw drop. Before he could open his mouth to comment, he felt the air leaving his lungs when she suddenly tightened his necktie. He whimpered and struggled to gasp for air.
The CFO flailed, struggling to get some air, but Raine’s hold on his neck was way too strong for him to escape. He would die sometime soon if she did not release him.
"Secretary Lyne, could you do me the favour of showing the files of our CFO’s extraordinary work so that he knows how much I appreciate his efforts..." Raine commented sarcastically, still adorning the same smile on her face.
Lyne came forward and opened a file on his iPad’s before showing it to the CFO. The file had every record of projects handled by the CFO. It also contained details about the money he had embezzled from the company.
"See, I’m not sure if this kind of hard work from you is something we deserve but I’m sure that this is something you can brag about to your future inmates. Don’t you think so?"
