Chapter 308: Chapter 308: Last Night’s Incident
"Actually, it’s not really a big issue, just some minor uncertainties. Let’s adjourn the meeting for now, and I’ll discuss further with Miss Thompson."
As Justin Battleson finished speaking, Charlotte Thompson roughly understood his meaning.
Caught in front of many people, she could not confront Justin Battleson outright. She could only briefly conclude the rest and then announce the end of the meeting.
The employees are always on the edge when a meeting is overseen by Justin Battleson.
They finally managed to survive until the end of the meeting, leaving they felt like a weight was lifted from their shoulders.
Justin Battleson was known to be strict with himself, and he was equally harsh on the employees.
Even a random chuckle during today’s meeting left the staff with doubts.
On the positive side, it could be that Justin Battleson had changed for the better and was no longer aloof.
On the negative side, it could be that he deliberately undermined Charlotte Thompson’s authority.
But who in the workplace doesn’t have a heart for playing all sides? Who doesn’t have an eye capable of observing everything?
From the situation just now, either of their guesses, good or bad, did not match.
Therefore, this only led to more private discussions among the employees.
Michael Richard saw the people leaving the meeting room, whispering and discussing something.
Upon hearing the keywords "Mr. Battleson" and "Charlotte", he became alert instantly.
He walked over to the crowd and cleared his throat loudly.
"Hello, Mr. Richard!"
Everyone greeted Michael Richard in unison.
As the most reputable figure around Justin Battleson, they naturally needed to respect him.
"After the meeting is over, go back to work, don’t let me hear you gossiping about things that you shouldn’t be." Michael Richard glanced at the group and admonished them.
The adult world communicates in hidden meanings, and everyone naturally understood.
With the point made, Michael Richard turned and walked away, and the other employees also closed their mouths and returned to work.
Even if they had a lot of thoughts, they couldn’t voice them at this moment.
Inside the meeting room.
Looking at all the employees who had left, this large meeting room was left with only Charlotte Thompson and Justin Battleson.
Being alone in a room with a man, Charlotte felt a little uncomfortable.
"Mr. Battleson, what do you not understand?"
Charlotte didn’t want to be alone with this man for too long, and asked directly without beating around the bush.
The sooner the matter is handled, the sooner she can leave.
Normally, it wouldn’t be like this, but now he is the boss, and Charlotte is an employee. Rank holds power, especially since Justin Battleson is the highest leader of Riley Group.
Miss Thompson, don’t worry, I want to ask you something about last night."
Last night? What happened?
Huh? Did Evelyn Curtis go and lodge a complaint?
It was as expected.
The meeting room had no other people. Justin Battleson’s gaze swept over the woman in front of him without any restraint.
The air conditioning in the meeting room was turned up high and it was somewhat chilly, so Charlotte put on the outer garment that she had brought.
Just now her attire demonstrated her intellectual and competent side. Now, her blue suit jacket added a touch of rarely seen gentleness to her.
The blue suit jacket complimented her complexion, appearing as white as snow. The white pearls adorned her ears, making her earlobes seem quite adorable.
At this moment she was looking down, her red lips were slightly closed, and her long eyelashes covered the twinkle in her eyes.
Soft yet captivating, charming and beautiful, yet revealing a hint of cold temperament.
"Last night?" Charlotte feigned ignorance, furrowing her eyebrows slightly.
However, she found Evelyn Curtis to be rather amusing in her heart.
Unable to reap any benefits from her, Evelyn Curtis ran over to Justin Battleson to lodge a complaint.
Charlotte was curious to see what result Justin Battleson could give her.
