Chapter 1076
My Substitute CEO Bride
Chapter 1076
Melody shared stories of her past experiences doing business, and Hera listened intently.
However, when Melody began talking about the dangers of listing a company on the market, Hera said, âI actually have no plans of listing Baroque on the market. Nash is the reason Baroque has managed to achieve everything we have today.
âBased on my understanding of him, heâd hate seeing Baroque being controlled by other capitalists. This includes Southern Heavens Pharmaceuticals!â
Melody was stunned, but she soon smiled and nodded. âBased on the number of orders that Baroque is currently receiving, it seems the company will be making profits for the next couple of years.
âThereâs no need to worry about cash flow problems for the short
term. Not listing the company on the market would work as well, but thereâs no way the other giants in the market wonât have their eyes trained on Baroque as you continue dominating the market!â
Hera agreed wholeheartedly with that.
Innovate Collective and Deco Electronics were perfect examples.
The two were still talking to each other animatedly when Heraâs
secretary returned with the head of the Logistics Department.
Alongside them were Robin, the head of security, and his comrades.
âMs. Lily⦠Why does Ms. Hera want to see me this early in the
,
nervously.
âYou seem very nervous, Mr. Griffin,â Robin noted, the corner of his
mouth curving upward into a sneer.
âW-Why would I be nervous? Iâm just wondering why Ms. Hera wants
to see me when she could have just spoken to me during the morning meeting!â Boris said as he forced himself to smile.
Robin huffed. âYouâll know once you head in.â
The way Robin was acting only caused Boris to feel even more
nervous.
Lily knocked on the door and said, âMr. Griffin is here, Ms. Hera!â
âCome in!â
Heraâs cool voice rang out from inside the office.
Upon hearing that, Lily opened the door and said to Boris, âPlease go
in, Mr. Griffin!â
Boris drew in a deep breath and regulated his emotions before heading into the office.
âMs. Hera, you wanted to see me?â Boris lowered his head as he
spoke respectfully.
Hera leaned back against her chair and used her fingers to drum the
table without saying anything.
The fear that Boris had worked so hard to suppress washed over him
once more.
Whenever Hera drummed the table during meetings, it meant she was suppressing her fury.
A whole three minutes passed before she said coolly, âHow much did Deco Electronics pay you?â
Borisâ gaze shifted as he looked up and asked, âW-What do you mean by that, Ms. Hera?â
He immediately lowered his gaze when his eyes met Heraâs cold ones.
Following the growth of Baroque, Hera had also grown and flourished
aplenty in the past two months. The employees were already calling her the Ice Queen behind her back. He was a mere departmental head and did not have the courage to meet Heraâs eyes.
âIâm sure you know perfectly well what I mean, Mr. Griffin !â Hera said
as a disappointed look appeared in her eyes.
âYou joined the company in 2016 and sold everything you had in 2019, choosing to spend your nights on the streets because you needed the money for your daughterâs leukemia treatment.
âMy parents rallied the companyâs employees to raise over 700,000 dollars, and they also added another 350,000 dollars from their own pockets. I was only a high school student then, but I also donated all of the 8,000 dollars I had saved up to your daughter.
âYet, this is how you chose to repay Baroque?â
Boris trembled upon hearing that.
Baroque had already begun facing financial difficulties back in 2019.
The company had begun taking out huge loans from the bank.
Despite that, Harrison and Lauren had not hesitated to help Borisâ
daughter.
âWhat an ungrateful piece of trash you are!â
Melody rolled her eyes at Boris in disgust.
No wonder Lauren had been so distracted last night.
She must have been thinking about Boris.
Boris fell to his knees in front of Hera, sobbing loudly as he said, âIâm sorry, Ms. Hera. I have wronged you!â
Hera sighed. âYou should get up. Itâs alright if you did it for reasons you canât share. After all, Deco Electronics has merely been spying on me for now, and no harm has been brought to the company yet.
âYou should head over to the Finance Department to get your
severance pay. Weâll treat this as any other dismissal from the company. Iâll help you keep this a secret!â
Boris trembled as he sobbed even louder. âIâll tell you everything, everything!â
