Chapter 22
Chapter 22 Quite a lot of eyes focused on Kayson as soon as he walked into Boardroom 3. However,
most people were looking at him in astonishment. A man sized up Kayson with an arrogant gaze.
"Who are you?"*I'm the deputy chief of The Tetrad from the project department, Kayson Yarde. Mr.
Oxley is away from work today, so I'm attending the meeting on his behalf,â replied Kayson."The
Tetrad?â The man sniggered in contempt. âMr. Batley, donât you think saving a spot for The Tetrad is
a waste? The bottled water of our company costs money too."The rest of the people lowered their
heads and sneered without bothering to hide their laughter upon hearing that.Sean furrowed his
eyebrows ever so slightly but relaxed his eyebrows soon afterward. âMr. Lawson, you do care about
cost-saving for the company at all times as the person in charge of the companyâs finances.
"However, you're fussing so much for just bottled water. Could it be that the companyâs financial
status is already so dire?"The CFO, Miles Lawson, let out a cold grunt. âI just donât want to waste the
companyâs resources! You donât have to make a big deal out of this, Mr. Batley!"Sean chuckled but
did not comment further. Instead, he said to Kayson, âPlease take a seat, Mr. Yarde."Kayson was cool
as a cucumber when he smiled at him to express his appreciation. He then took a seat.Kayson could
not help looking over when a tall and slim figure walked into the boardroom.Sadie walked into the
boardroom and noticed Kayson at one glance. She furrowed her eyebrows at once because Kayson
was the last person she wanted to seelâEveryoneâs here. Let's begin the meeting today
officially.âSadieâs cold voice reverberated in the boardroom when she said, âAll departments must
operate efficiently during this period to complete the finishing touches of the complete projects.
âMonitor the ongoing projects closely to prevent any error and be alert to safety accidents! âAlso,
hasten the connection between projects that have yet to be connected previously.âs ? Sadie was a
doer, and she was already prepared for the meeting in advance. The people in charge of different
departments did not have many objections after receiving her orders.Kaysonâs perception of Sadie
changed because she behaved completely differently when she was at work compared to when she
was at home. The meeting was approaching its end, but Miles suddenly raised his hand.âMs.
Wolfenden, the Petrichor Park project has yet to be closed all this time. I wonder, how are you
planning on solving this issue, Ms. Wolfenden?âSadie furrowed her eyebrows and looked toward the
chief of Solo from the project department, Iris Colement. âMs. Coleman, what's the situation?â
Petrichor Park was the first project she had been tasked with after graduating and joining the
company. Irisâ expression changed. She said with a bitter smile, âMr. Gustin, the person in charge of
quality control, claimed that there is an issue with the project's quality..."Quite a number of people
in the boardroom changed their expressions drastically before they looked toward Sadie in
unison.âNonsense!â Sadieâs expression was unpleasant. âI've been working on the Petrichor Park
project from the start, and I can attest to the superior quality materials used at all times!" Miles said
in contempt, âMs. Wolfenden, this is your project, so it would be best for you to come up with a way
to solve the situation.âWe won't receive the final payment of $3,000,000 without Mr. Gustinâs quality
inspection report.âThe Gillete Group is counting on us to make a mistake. If information of this
incident were to spread tomorrow, the landlords would be coming to make a fuss at our company.
It's going to be difficult to manage the situation by then, Ms. Wolfenden.âSadie appeared to be
deep in thought. Soon afterward, she took a deep glance at Iris while thelatter lowered her head in
a panic. Iris did not have the courage to look her in the eyes.âMs. Wolfenden, I think that Ms.
Coleman is not exaggerating. With the advancement of the Internet and content sharing, public
opinion will have a dire effect on the company!"The person speaking was the chief of the human
resource department, River Snyder..Sean frowned and said, âThe Petrichor Park project is Ms.
Wolfendenâs first project, so Ms. Wolfenden wants the project to be completed more than anyone
else."Thereâs no need for everyone to be overly concerned. Ms. Wolfenden will manage this matter
properly."Miles sniggered with disdain in his expression. âIs that so? I shall wait and see
then."Sadieâs gaze turned cold. Milesâ father was the companyâs second-biggest shareholder, and
the general manager position was supposed to be Milesâ .However, she had overpowered Miles by
working on the Petrichor Park project.It seemed that Miles had yet to give up. Iris from Solo and
River, the chief of the human resource department, had already taken his side.âDonât worry, Mr.
Lawson, Mr. Snyder. I'll manage the matter properly.âSadie calmed down quickly. Tris said softly, âMs.
Wolfenden, tomorrow is the deadline Mr. Gustin gave to us..."Sadieâs expression changed drastically.
She was furious and wanted to reprimand Iris for not reporting to her in advance.Nonetheless, she
suppressed her emotions at the sight of how Miles was looking at her like a hawk.She was
convinced that Miles had hid the information from her on purpose!He wanted her to make a fool of
herself by making a mistake!"Alright, noted,â Sadie replied nonchalantly after suppressing the anger
in her chest. Miles found her lack of emotional outburst a regret. Soon, however, he took a glance at
Kayson. âI heard that The Tetrad's staff members got into trouble again. Something about thrashing
a bar?â"He sniggered and said, âThe Tetrad's performance has always been unsatisfactory, yet they're
constantly getting into trouble and ruining the companyâs reputation. âI can see that there's no
point in keeping the group anymore, so I'm proposing to abolish The Tetrad!" Sadie gnashed her
teeth in rage. The b*st*rd actually threatened her with The Tetrad! Meanwhile, Kayson, who had
been keeping quiet all along, spoke. âMr. Lawson, right?"Miles looked toward Kayson
nonchalantly.Kayson smiled. âMr. Lawson, you're really good at meddling with other people's
matters, huh? Since you've made the point, I shall wager a bet against you then.âI've read the
companyâs handbook and understand that the lowest performance standard for a project group is
$3,000,000. âWhen The Tetrad signs a project worth more than $3,000,000 within a month, I figure
that there won't be any objection from you by then, right?â Miles was momentarily stunned upon
hearing that. He was delighted, though. âFoolish boy, that's an impossible mission!:Miles burst out
laughing aloud. âSure! The newly-joined Yarde seems to have a lot of confidence in The Tetrad. I
shall wait and see then!"Sadie glared at Kayson ferociouslyâ-she was furious! âB*st*rd! Why are you
causing more trouble!?â
