Chapter 61: Playing to Prepare
Chapter 61: Playing to Prepare
As soon as Linda left, Melody and Atty.Lewis were left in the chairman's expansive office.
The tension eased after seconds.
Now that the office turned quiet and empty, Atty.Lewis asked the question boggling his mind.
"Miss Melody, do you want to confront the Sullivan family?"
Melody lazily leaned her back on the sofa with eyes closed.
"This family is getting worse, I will find solutions before it is too late."
'That's right, but the Sullivan family is a household that you will not like to fight against” Atty.Lewis thought.
'However, prestigious and well-known families have lots of dark secrets: 'And because the country knows them, their clean name and reputation are important”
'A family with status like that will only believe in their own people instead of someone else who's more capable: 'Over time, it will leave them great destruction and downfall' Atty.Lewis had these in his mind for a while before he decided to remind Melody.
"Miss Melody, when your grandfather was alive, he couldn't do anything about these things.Since your family is big, the time will come when some of you might go astray.You must be careful? “ Atty.Lewis said so that she wouldn't pick the wrong choice.
Melody only flashed a pair of cold eyes that were showing her arrogance.Her lips curled up in amusement as she stared at the name of the financial manager on the document.Her eyes slightly darkened.
Since the family had gotten worse, she would remove anyone from the Sullivan family who was causing them to decline.
After all, there will be no future for us if we stay in the past.
The family had a large number of employees, so Melody didn't have heavy tasks.
If the chairman would do everything by himself, what was the point of hiring these people? Even if the decision-maker was absent for a couple of months, nothing would happen to the company because its everyday operations were managed by the teams that Grandpa Alistair once supported.
But the goal that Melody had set would be impossible if she increased the stock price by 30% within three months.
Atty.Lewis critically thought, 'Unless she finds a project that can make their business's stock price rise rapidly and attract shareholders, these can only be a dream”
Atty.Lewis waited for two days and did not hear any actions from Melody.And so, he could not help but feel a little worried.He wasn't sure if Melody''s plan in three months were just a delaying tactic or if she had hidden things in mind.
'But she is way too calm” he thought.
"Miss Melody, I think this information will help you.Do you want to take a look?"
Atty.Lewis handed the document to her.
"They are all old friends of your grandfather.Maybe you can get some good projects"
At this moment, Melody was playing in her phone, and her fingers were rapidly moving.
While Atty.Lewis was talking, she encountered a combat team in the game.She fought alone, and the opposing team consisted of four men.She held a VSS sniper rifle in her hand, while her enemy on the opposite hill held a 98K, at least six times the long-distance scope.Her opponents didn't see any challenge in fighting her, so they only belittled her.
Moreover, she brought a Level Two Spetsnaz Helmet, and her opponents picked up their guns.
Once they hit their bullets at her, she would lose this round.
Melody unhurriedly threw a smoke grenade at the southeast corner.
Right then, she stared up back at the document that Atty.Lewis placed down.She only gave him a slight nod.
"Okay!"
Atty.Lewis saw that she was seriously playing.
So, he stood up from his chair and took a look at it.
He found that it was the same game that his son had been playing recently.He saw Melody open a VSS double-scope.
She took advantage of the silencer to shoot her enemies with a series of shots.
While they were occupied regrouping their people, she used a diversion and threw two smoke bombs.Her enemies saw what she did.
They thought that she was scared and wanted to run away from the fight.
After all, she alone couldn't win against four people.
Her diversion worked, and she successfully reached the door.
A grenade, a full formation, and then the four of them died from the explosion.
The other party was outraged that he shrieked and cursed her out loud.
"Fuck, what's happening? How the hell did the 98K War God lose from VSS?"
"This can't be real.Report unsuccessful.I will delete the game tomorrow!"
"That's right.I have to report..."
Lots of curses came one after another.
Melody curled her lips in boredom and faintly smiled before she closed the game.She turned her head to see Atty.Lewis staring at her phone.
Melody raised her eyebrows and looked at him with confused eyes.
Atty.Lewis immediately came back to his senses and glanced at Melody again.
For some reason, her gaze made him feel awkward.
"I was just curious.My son also plays that game.You seem very good at it”
This game was currently popular worldwide.The amount of money charged to the game was almost surpassing the one she used to create.
Melody wanted to play it to prepare for the development of her next game for the Harrison Corporation. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
"It's fine"
Melody calmly responded to him and then began to read the information that Atty.Lewis gave.
The moment she picked up the document, the door was suddenly slammed open.
Charles came in full of anger and arrogance and directly rushed to Melody's desk.
Behind him were Linda and another secretary, who was trying to make him stop.
Linda looked at Melody before she spoke full of respect.
"Director Sullivan, I'm sorry.We'll escort your brother out now!"
Melody's face was emotionless as she let Linda handle it.
Linda held Charles's wrist, but he shook her off.
Charles arrogantly looked at Linda and scolded her, "Mind your own business, old woman.I want to fight that jinx today, not you."
He pointed at Melody.
"Get lost before I get out of control."
Charles glared at Linda with his face full of unwillingness.
Everybody else was afraid of Linda, including Charles's father.
Yet, he could not understand what was so scary about a typical old secretary.
'I belong to the Sullivan family and this company is mine in the future.So how can an old secretary dare to point at me?' Charles insulted Linda silently.
After Linda stood up straight, her face darkened.She took out her office phone to call the security.
'This boy of the Sullivan family is too unruly”
When she was about to dial, she sensed a sharp gaze staring at her.She subconsciously looked up.She met Melody's cold eyes and instantly understood what her boss meant.She hid her phone away and waited to see how Melody would deal with this matter.
After Charles dealt with Linda, he became extremely arrogant.He slapped the desk in front of Melody and glared at her.
"You bastard! What right do you have to order the personnel department to fire my uncle?"
Atty.Lewis massaged the bridge of his nose. He couldn't understand why the Sullivan family had these terrible attitudes.
'Luckily, Grandpa Alistair settled his will in advance.Now, it all depends on how Melody will deal with this unruly heir; Atty.Lewis was somewhat relieved by his thought.
