41 None Work-Related (1/2)
The atmosphere on the board was really terrible. Of course, the boss was not feeling this at all.
Why did the staff know that their boss has a date without it being explicitly announced? Because their boss decided to answer none work-related phone call during an important meeting.
Despite feeling that it was unfair, the people inside the meeting could not complain at all. They were too busy scrambling to finish their report in 15 minutes at most, and that was a challenging task.
”Enough. We will finish this on Tuesday. Make sure you are all prepared at that time.” Suzuki Kyou voice suddenly cut off the manager that was currently reporting before he waved his hand, indicating everyone could leave.
At first the staff was startled, but eventually released a deep breath, and immediately left the room before the boss changed his mind or started firing someone. The only people left in the room were Suzuki Kyou, his assistant, and secretary.
”Sir, this is an important meeting. You also have a flight on Tuesday night…” Assistant Ye reminded. He was very aware that the monthly report meeting would typically take hours. What if it was not finished before they left the country?
”Cancel the flight. There was no need to personally visit any gathering about family. They can always email me if they need something specific.” He said before standing up from his chair and leaves the board room as well.
Assistant Ye shook his head, ”Sir, it was your Grandmother's order. I do not recommend making her unhappy. She might personally visit and take over things here.” Personally, Assistant Ye was very cautious around the Suzuki family matriarch. Thought he was working directly under Suzuki Kyou, the CEO, but some rules could not be ignored, and people must not be offended. He was just making sure that his boss did not forget that.
Suzuki Kyou did not respond or acknowledge Assistant Ye's comment. This clearly means he did not care about it. That was the case even when he got into his office and sat on the couch.
After releasing a deep breath, ”Since we need to change plans for the week, I will let the main family know that you are canceling…”
He then looked at Assistant Ye, ”It's weekend. Today is day-off supposed to be. Let's talk about work tomorrow.”
'Sir, why are you treating your family matters as work too?' Assistant Ye complained to himself silently. He then wryly smiled before replying, ”I understand. I am happy to know that you plan to rest finally.”
