Chapter 40 The George’s Problem
After the phone hung up, Diana looked at me excitedly, “Something’s up between you and this Dr. Bennett?”
I pushed her curious head away and got up to go back to the bedroom, “Sleep well, and don’t be nosy!”
“Hey, Clara…”
The room door isolated her voice. I went back to the bedroom and began to continue to work on the case of the George’s audit, which will be tendered tomorrow.
I originally thought that the middle-aged man that night would appear again, but a few days passed and there was nothing special at all.
I was a little confused about what exactly was going on.
The next day.
The day in Newton Town was getting hotter and hotter, and the sun was a little hot even at eight o’clock. Diana was a nightbird, so she never got up early.
And I’ve been so busy the past two days that I’ve had to get up early every day.
In the morning I hurried to the office. Jackie handed me the prepared papers and said, “Let’s go straight to the bidding site!”
I nodded and carried the papers and computer out of the office with Jackie.
At the entrance of the elevator, we met Dennis and Mario. Mario handed me the lunch box he was carrying after he saw me, “This is the soup Chef Owen prepared for you, it’s good for your body’s recovery. I heard Dennis say that you have been throwing up a lot recently, it should be a false pregnancy sickness after abortion, you’ll get better after some time.”
I was worried that Dennis would suspect anything. But when he said that, I was relieved, “Thank you!”
Dennis’s face was gloomy, and I can’t tell his emotions. I had never been able to figure out his temper, and I can’t figure out what kind of feelings he had for me.
Elevator doors opened, the four of us together into the elevator. The atmosphere was a little cold, but no one wanted to talk, until out of the elevator.
Jackie gazed at me and said, “Miss Kennedy, you and Mr. George?”
“It’s getting late, let’s hurry to the bidding site!” I didn’t want to say much. Dennis and I hadn’t seen or spoken to each other since the last time in the restaurant.
When I came to the bidding site, I met Luis again, which gave me a headache. He came up to me as soon as he saw me, young and energetic. He then greeted excitedly, “You’re here!”
I did not like his enthusiasm, so I nodded slightly and then directly into the bidding site. More people came here today, basically wanted to fight for the George’s audit.
Halfway through the bidding, I got a slight headache, and I didn’t know why. Jackie saw that I was not right, so she helped me to the rest room and poured me a glass of water, “Miss Kennedy, there are several other companies involved in the bidding behind, why don’t you go to the hospital first?
I shook my head. I had watched most of the companies on the bidding, so I sipped and watched her, “You go check the following companies, save some if it’s appropriate, reject all of them if not!”
I almost understood the specific situation, so I sat in the rest room for a while, and Jackie went over to continue to listen.
It’s not easy to be a mother. I thought I was invulnerable, but such small mistakes still occurred on such occasions.
“What’s on your mind?” A teasing voice rang out.
I took a sideways glance and it was Luis. I rubbed my brow and said, “Aren’t you going to bid? What are you doing here!?”
“Check on you!” After that, he went behind me and rubbed my temples for me. His hands were strong and he used moderate force, and I originally tried to dodge it but was held down by him.
He persuaded coldly, “Don’t be too stubborn!”
I did not have much energy and simply gave in. Unexpectedly, it didn’t take long for my headache to subside a bit.
He then let go and looked at me and said, “How about now?”
I nodded, “Much better, thank you!”
He found a seat and sat down, his face no longer frivolous, but more serious, “What kind of existence is Dennis to you?”
This topic was too boring. I frowned, “Shouldn’t Mr. Collins be concerned about the bid results right now?”
He smiled lightly, “I care more about you!”
I ignored his words. Jackie came in at this time and I thought the bidders probably were done speaking. Jackie gathered all the bidders’ profiles together to make a comparison.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
I picked out a few suitable candidates and looked at her and said, “Go make a statement, and compare the companies which had done the audit and contact with the company, and then filter them and give me the result!”
Jackie took the files and nodded. She glanced at Luis and hesitated for a moment and said to me, “Miss Kennedy, should I send you back now, or?”
“You go ahead! I’ll send her back later!” Luis answered before me.
Jackie still looked at me and waited for my answer. I said, “Go!”
After Jackie left, I gazed at Luis and said, “If you don’t want to make it straight, then I don’t mind stalling time!”
There’s no way he just showed up for no reason. If he did not indicate his intention, then I did not have time for this.
Since I said so bluntly, he raised his eyebrows and pouted, “It’s not a good thing for a girl to be too smart!”
I didn’t bother with him, grabbed my bag and got ready to go.
But I got stopped by him, “The George’s audit equals to the George’s future in some ways. Have you ever thought carefully why Dennis chose me over AC, who has been working with him for years?”
I sat back in my seat and didn’t say anything, just continued to wait for him to go on.
He found a seat next to me and said, “The George’s has been listed for one year, and seemingly, the George’s is growing as fast as it can, without any problems. But think carefully, why did the project that you and Stefan were in charge of, which was only postponed for a few days, cause huge economic losses to the George’s? Do you really think it’s the loss caused by the delay in funding because the George’s is developing too fast?”
I frowned, didn’t open my mouth, and waited for him to go on.
“The great George’s will cause losses because of a delay in the final payment of an engineering project, which means that its internal reserve funds are likely to have been deficient. Dennis chooses not to continue to work with AC because once AC’s audit statement shows the George’s deficit, then it will lead to a big drop in the George’s stock and panic among stockholders.”
I only frowned slightly at what he said. Then I squinted at him and said, “But Dennis did not directly designate you to do the George’s audit. Besides, as the director of the company, would I not know its situation better than you?”
“Alright!” He sneered, “Clara, it’s not good to be too arbitrary!”
I got up and didn’t want to talk anymore, so I said, “Since I said I would hold a bidding for the George’s audit, then your ability means everything. As for other things, I think I know it better than you. Mr. Collins better go home and wait for the news!”
When I finished, I went out of the rest room and went straight to my car.
After starting the car, I recalled his words. His words were not completely without merit, but they can’t be believed in full. It’s not that the George’s had not experienced losses due to delayed final payments over the years, so it’s a normal situation.
But it did not exclude the possibility that the George’s funds had problems!
