Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) -
Chapter 661
Adler escorted Sophie and Jenna into the corporation, his voice cutting through the air, "What's going on with HR? If I hear one more gossip, everyone's fired!"
Adler's outburst in the lobby sent employees scattering.
Meanwhile, a voice outside caught Sophie's attention.
"Ms. Nichole, good morning." The receptionist warmly welcomed Nichole inside, who immediately noticed Sophie in the lobby.
Today, Sophie was dressed differently than usual. She usually favored a casual style at work and outside work, but today, she seemed to have made an extra effort, exuding a cool and noble aura. Remembering the humiliation from the night before, Nichole couldn't help feeling uncomfortable. Nichole frowned at the dispersed crowd and asked, "What's this panic about? Who's causing trouble in the corporation this early?"
"Oh, Ms. Nichole, feeling bold, aren't we?" Jenna sneered at Nichole, impressed by her audacity after just a few days.
No longer intimidated by Jenna, Nichole retorted with a cold laugh, "Ms. Jenna, are you the one causing trouble at S Corporation?"
The others remained silent. They were used to seeing Nichole dressed as if she were from a wealthy family, but today, standing next to Sophie and Jenna, she seemed to lose her shine, looking more like an imposter, her words carrying no authority.
"Ms. Nichole, it was me."
Adler turned around, and upon realizing the source of the commotion, Nichole scoffed, "I should've known. What brings you from the Tredgold Corporation to ours?"
The onlookers gasped.
Adler was a known stakeholder in S Corporation, no secret to those within and even outside the company.
Over the year, Adler had been actively involved in S Corporation's affairs, far beyond being just a nominal chairman. Nichole's ignorance was shocking!
Feeling the weight of everyone's stares, Nichole grew uncomfortable.
Adler merely glanced at Nichole and instructed the receptionist, "Explain to her why I'm here."
The receptionist hesitated. She
didn't want Nichole to feel
embarrassed, and whispered, "Ms.
Nichole, Mr. Adler is one of our
shareholders and the chairman. He's
probably here for an inspection..."
Essentially, Nichole was Adler's subordinate. It was laughable for a subordinate to be unaware of their supevisor's identity.
Sophie watched the scene unfold with a light chuckle. She thought Nichole had put in much effort for S Corporation, but realized she was clueless about the company's hierarchy.
Nichole's face betrayed her
embarrassment, but she quickly composed herself and addressed Adler, "Ş, Mr. Adler, you're also a director at S Corporation. I'm new here and still getting acquainted with people and procedures. My apologies."
As Adler was about to respond, Colby's cold voice came from the entrance, "Since you know this, perhaps it's best you resign."
Everyone turned towards the voice.
Colby, unusually dressed in a sharp black suit, was followed by senior secretaries from Costello Corporation. His entrance made
everyone gasp.
Was this the rumored ruthless head of the Costello Corporation?
