129 The Pest Again 2 (2/2)
Others, though reluctant, followed suit, thinking it wouldn't hurt to give face to the VIP girl brought in by Gio Albarez.
”Please don't forget to take a look at the projected figures here while scanning the documents,” Sofony kindly reminded before taking her seat again.
Her eyes quietly went to Gio's face who also did as she requested. A few seconds later, his amused eyes met hers. Sofony could guess the reason for this.
It was the numbers in one of the pages of the Miller's true proposed plan. None differed from the currently displayed slide show. In other words, the expected budget, returns, number of surveyed people, number of workers for the building, number of prospective clients and customers... even the industry's stats used to show why the project would be successful, even the location... Everything was identical!
But they were not supposed to be because the Millers' businesses were mainly on pharmaceuticals and drug researches!
Therefore, it was a mystery how this happened. Everybody except the couple was taken aback. Even Marc Goldwin who raised the issue was.
Only, when Marc came back to his senses, unlike the majority whose expression turned from skeptical to dumbfounded, he went back to laughing. Unmasked praise was in his voice when he exclaimed,
”I can't believe it! Miss Silver is amazing to have discovered this! Please accept my salute to your sharp and details-attentive eyes!”
Sofony saw the same admiring gazes from the rest. They were probably wondering when she noticed the problem. Even though anyone here with a good memory could do the same, it was still quite amazing that she did it within a very limited span of time. After all, they only saw her going through the pile of folders when the fatty began to protest at the presenter's ratting out.
'That Harry Silver must be dancing in joy for regaining this intelligent and beautiful daughter that he lost before... This girl is a dangerous gem! Despite being young too, she seems very close to Gio Albarez... She's someone who must not be made into an enemy!' the thought that crossed everybody's mind subsequently.
”By now, I'm sure you've all realized that there's just no way for the stats of a drug manufacturing company to be similar,” the girl blinked, correcting herself, ”My mistake, identical, to the figures a banking company will report.”
Her gaze momentarily went to the fat man,
”So who copied who? Mr. Presenter already confessed. But since one, no, two among us don't want to recognize his confession, I presented this mysterious point. Now, how do we explain this unexpected relation?”
”No, no, this can't be happening! This is just stupid! I swear this is not the proposal my company created! Someone must have sabotaged us! This... This...”
The one guilty of magically tampering with his proposal looked at him indifferently. Sofony knew she was wrong for what she did, but actually, this was already lenient. This was only in a proposal.
Think, what would happen if she did this to their company's financial report, making it look like a hundred trillion credits were lost?
In the first place, who asked him to target Gio's money?
”Who switched our folders with a fake!!!? This is not my proposal's content! I'm sure someone at least changed some of the pages! Mr. Albarez, one of your secretaries must have been paid to sabotage me!!!” shouted the fat accused man as he threw the documents on the floor.
That scream from the red-faced, agitated fellow earned more reproaching looks from everybody. A second later, half of them turned into pitying glances. This pig actually questioned Gio's selection of employees. How idiotic could he be? Did he forget that even without factoring the boss in, even that oldest assistant, Jone, was strong enough to decimate him into a bag of bones within seconds?

The clicking of tongues resounded after, driving the fat man to realize what great blunder he had committed. He was about to take his words back when Gio's cold glare shut him up again.
”You done?” the demon magnate asked, Despite being seated, the younger man seemingly appeared taller than any mountain in Mr. Miller's eyes. Couple with the other's glare, the fat shareholder felt himself turning so small. He no longer had any way out, he realized. Now, he could only regret why he allowed a devil to possess him to actually dared to plan against this monster.
Not looking anymore at the middle-aged pig sweating buckets from his icy glances, Gio said, ”You wasted so much of everyone's time with your nonsense. Do you know that?”
Gio signaled the one in charge with the projector to take down the current slides.
After Gio saw the next representative nervously preparing, he looked down to the documents on the table. Without sparing the despairing old fatty another glance, he stated,
”Somewhere in this world, Mr. Miller, there's a tree whose single purpose on earth is to replace the oxygen you waste. I think it has become way too pitiful because your nonsense and bullshits just wasted so much of what it is always striving to replace. Go find it. And apologize. You decide what kind of apology will suffice, Jone.”
The assistant standing near the access controlled door widened his eyes a bit at his boss' order. However, his years of experience made him capable of whatever role he was playing, be it a hitman, con-artist, or an assistant. Jone swiftly got himself together and marched toward the fat man whose face became too unsightly due to Gio's order.
Afterward, everyone watched as Jone effortlessly dragged the cursing and protesting board member.
'...So troublesome.'
'I can't possibly ask for his opinion. Last time, when someone annoying got sentenced to death by hanging while I was the one in charge of watching out for him, the bastard requested to be hanged from a tomato tree.'
'I'll just have this fatty tied to a random tall tree housing thousands of red ants and bees somewhere deserted. I'll let the insects do the torture for him,' thought Gio's oldest assistant.
