Chapter 381
Summon Of The Sword
Over at the gate, Jeremy had just lifted the lift lever for a car and was looking up into the sky.
He could have sat in the office, enjoying the air conditioning, drinking coffee, and doing some easy tasks.
Now, he had to do what any old man could do.
The contrast upset him.
A ringing phone interrupted Jeremyâs deep thought.
âHello, Jeremy. Have the higherâups⦠reinstated your position?â
The call got through, and Lucyâs hurried voice spoke.
Not yet.â
Jeremy shook his head slightly.
âWhat? No?
âDidnât Sean mean to forgive you yesterday?
âWhy havenât you been reinstated yet?
âCould we be wrong? Sean doesnât have that kind of power, does he?â
Lucy frowned suddenly and grumbled angrily.
âIâm not sureâ¦â
Jeremy shook his head slightly, feeling helpless.
âHmph! We must be wrong.
âYou didnât guard the gates because of him. Did you offend âI had such high hopes for Sean.
âBut come to think of it. How could a cripple like Sean be close to people in the government?â
The more Lucy talked, the angrier she became.
âJeremy Holden!â
Just then, there was suddenly a cry from nearby.
âUh, Iâm hereâ¦â
anyone else?
Jeremy quickly put down his phone. As the guard guarding the gate, he was not allowed to talk on his phone during office hours.
âMr. Luke has said that youâd be reinstated with immediate effect.
âYou have done a good job at the grassâroots level these days. I will consider your promotion according to your performance.
âYou can go back to your old job now. Iâll put someone else on duty over here.â
With that said, the middleâaged man left with his hands behind his back.
âThank you. Thank youâ¦â
Jeremyâs head buzzed. Then his arm stiffened a little as he picked up the phone again.
No one knew how shocked he was.
He could demote Jeremy to the lowest with only one word!
However, he could reinstate Jeremy to his original position with another word too.
Who was to say Sean did not have strong connections in the government?
âMom, I⦠I got my old job back!
âSean⦠No⦠Brother Seanâs a big shot!â
Jeremy was so excited that he started babbling.
