Chapter 198 Busybody
After having his boots licked, Zayne smiled happily and said, “Once I’m appointed, I’ll make sure the sales department gets treated even better!” He then waved to gesture appreciation.
“Mr. Carlson, you’re the best!”
“You’re awesome, Mr. Carlson. I’m sure the position is all yours!”
“Once Mr. Carlson becomes our general manager, our departmental manager has got to be Maria! Congratulations, Maria!”
Some of them had even gone to the extent to congratulate Maria.
After all, they were well aware of the relationship between Zayne and Maria. If Zayne were to be appointed, he surely would promote Maria.
Everyone started cheering for Maria. Although filled with jealousy, Lydia put on her fake smile and congratulated her as well.
“All right, let’s get to the conference room. Appointments aren’t even made yet!” Zayne urged.
Zayne and the rest then moved toward the conference room.
When they walked into the room, they saw Jared wiping one of the chairs with a napkin. After he was done cleaning the seat, he sat on it.
“Jared?” Zayne was startled when he saw Jared in there. “What are you doing here? Who let you in? I thought I’d already asked you to leave?”
“This is neither the sales department nor your house. Why do you care so much?” Jared grinned.
“Do you have any idea where you are right now, Jared? Besides, do you know who that seat is reserved for? You’re asking for trouble!” Lydia thundered when she saw Jared sitting on the seat reserved for the Chairman.
“Jared, what are you doing here? Have you been transferred to the cleaning department?” Hilda was puzzled. She thought Jared had become a cleaner because she saw him wiping the seat.
“Jared, that’s where the Chairman sits. Not even a general manager is qualified to sit there. Get up,” Maria said. With her eyes, she then hinted at Jared to leave.
She was worried that if Jared was seen by the higher-ups, he could be chased away for good.
“Why should I get up? This is my seat,” Jared said innocently.
“Haha! Jared, stop fooling yourself! If Ms. Sullivan sees this, you’re dead!” Zayne burst into laughter.
“Mr. Carlson, you’ve just fired him. I’m sure the HR department doesn’t know that yet. Technically, he’s still a worker in the sales department! If the Chairman sees this, wouldn’t you be in trouble as well?” one of the staff reminded Zayne.
At that instance, Zayne started panicking. That’s true! Although I’ve already fired him, the HR department isn’t notified yet! If Jared finds trouble here, the sales department will face the music instead!
Zayne’s expression was distorted. He then stared at Jared with his widened eyes and said, “Get out of here now, Jared! You don’t belong here! You’re angry over the fact that I have fired you, and you’re just here to humiliate the sales department, am I right?”
Everyone then started criticizing Jared and heaping scorn on him. They didn’t want to get penalized for his mistakes.
“Get lost, Jared! Don’t drag us down with you!”
“I’ve never thought you’re such a vengeful person!”
“Let us all chase him out! If he insists on staying, we shall physically throw him out!”
Everyone from the sales department was making a scene in the conference room.
Unperturbed, Jared sat firmly on his chair.
