Chapter 369

There were just a few employees remaining in the building.

Stefan sat in his office, rummaging through the documents on his desk.

H Group developed tremendously over the years, but with it came a slew of difficulties and harsh competitors.

This was particularly the case in the field of technology. Long-term collaboration between H Group and KCL Group made his company invincible, enabling it to capture three-fourths of the market.

As a result, he quickly became the envy of other companies who would try to harm his company behind his back. While not life-threatening, it gave Stefan a headache.

There had recently been speculations that the smart bracelet H Group recently released on the market had severe flaws that involved violating users’ privacy by eavesdropping on their conversations. The rumor resulted in several reports and lawsuits against his company.

’Inform the public relations department that we need a way to conceal this negative news.

“Investigate and sue those who disseminated the rumors; for spreading falsehoods and harming our company’s brand.”

’Remove all of the smart wristbands we recently introduced and hand them over to the IT department to see whether they have an eavesdropping capacity.”

Stefan couldn’t pretend any longer after many phone conferences, signing various papers, and reviewing a few projects. He rose up and swiftly reached into the trash can, picking up the ripped bits of paper.

The paper was small, but it was shredded into bits, making it impossible to reassemble.

Stefan tried to piece it back and struggled. His eyes hurt, and his brain couldn’t process what he was seeing. “Damn it, Xavier! Why did he have to shred it to pieces!”

Finally, he was close to piecing it back together when the secretary walked in.

“Sir!”

“Ehem!”

Stefan instantly covered the paper shreds as if he had done something guilty. However, his movements were so big that the pieces flew around and scattered on the ground.

The secretary was taken aback and approached him right away. “Are you alright, Sir?”

“Don’t move!”

Stefan yelled and stared at the paper on the floor.”Don’t step on them,” he ordered her coldly.

She instantly stood frozen on the ground. “Sir, the floor is too dirty. Would you like me to clean it?”

“No.”

Stefan finally returned to his normal behavior and asked, “What is it?”

“Mr. Stuart called earlier and said he sent you the location on WhatsApp. He asked you not to…”

She hesitated and awkwardly glanced at Stefan’s hand positioned beside the dustbin and said carefully, “He asked you not to pick it up from the dustbin. It’s dirty.”

Stefan’s face darkened, and he said coldly, “I understand.”

He waited until the secretary had departed before proudly opening his WhatsApp.

As he saw the location, he couldn’t help but grimace and think to himself,’ Renee, you can’t get away from me!
