Chapter 41: Win her trust
"Mr. Anderson, here are the reports." It was harder than drinking poison for Frank to report it to his boss. His face looked like he had been stabbed by a thousand poisoned swords as he spoke. "The reports of the stock price of Jun construction company."
After he handled them and walked out, he heard the hushed whispers of dozens of the employees that worked under him. Their eyes held mocking and satisfaction at his failure.
"It is the first time his predictions went wrong."
"Hah! Suits him right for all the arrogance he had!"
"What did he say? Tang company would go bankrupt within a year. Look at it where they are right now. The company was in such a dire state but with Jazmine Harrison taking office, within three weeks, she reversed everything. What did he call her again? An ignorant novice?"
"I suspect the CEO would trust him with everything after that."
"If will lose his position in his heart forever."
And so they continued. It was the years of resentment gathered because of David Anderson's favor that fueled them. But the other thing that worked as a factor was the certainty with which Frank asserted that they didn't need to fear Jazmine Harrison. He was proved wrong. Though holding resentment towards Jazmine Harrison, he couldn't help but hold a certain degree of admiration towards her. The woman... she had made something impossible possible all the time fooling her enemies by hiding her true form.
As someone who had as much experience as him, he could recognize potential with a single glance. It was true he made a mistake once. But he couldn't be wrong again. Jazmine Harrison was a gem.
