C17 (1/2)

I swept my gaze across them one by one. The corner of my mouth curled up in a mocking smile. ”It doesn't matter if no one sees her, but if I find out who took it, I definitely won't let her off!”

I turned and went into the manager's office.

”Sorry, Manager Wang.”

All I said was this and Manager Wang understood.

He sighed and said, ”Little Lu, no matter what happened, since the script was lost, someone has to be responsible for it.”

”I know.” I whispered, ”Tell me, manager, how will you punish me?”

”This... Let me ask Director Zhu first. ” Manager Wang also couldn't make a decision.

Judging from his expression, he should have guessed what was going on. But on one side was an old man who had worked in the design department for several years, and on the other was me, a newcomer, and, crucially, I had no proof that the papers had been placed on his desk.

Therefore, this responsibility can only be borne by me.

When he called the president's office, my heart jumped.

I was the one who asked to come to Zhu Fen's company, but how long has it been since then?

I suddenly felt a little ashamed.

”Hello, Assistant Xu. This is Wang Qian. Could I trouble Director Zhu to pick up the phone?”

After a few seconds, Manager Wang opened his mouth: ”Director Zhu, it's like this …”

As he spoke, he looked at me and nodded his head from time to time, making me so confused that I had no idea what was going on.

He hung up and sighed heavily.

My heart thumped. I could almost predict how angry Zhu Fen on the other end of the line was.

”Little Lu, the CEO wants you to come to his office.”

”He … Did you say anything else? ” I asked, trembling.

Manager Wang looked at me and suddenly shook his head with a heavy expression, ”You can go. You'll know when you get there.”

”Manager...” I wanted to cry, but there were no tears. ”Aren't you always angry? Can I not go? ”

”No.” Manager Wang said, ”This matter must be resolved. Hurry up and go, don't make Director Zhu anxious.”

When I was a few steps away from the door, I turned my head back three times, hoping that Manager Wang would 'stay' for me. However, he lowered his head and pretended to be working on the documents, not even glancing at me.
