Chapter 1164: Chapter 1164: Birds of a Feather Flock Together
Charlotte Thompson looked at Elijah Walker in slight astonishment. Had she not known that Elijah Walker was a serious and reserved person, she might have thought he was joking with her.
Seeing the expression on Charlotte’s face, Elijah Walker recounted what had just happened in detail.
Charlotte’s brow furrowed tightly after hearing the story, and she quickly grasped the key point of the incident.
"Did George Robbins want to fire you without any reason?" Charlotte asked.
Elijah Walker nodded.
Charlotte’s fingertips, resting on the table, trembled lightly, producing a faint sound.
It seems this George Robbins is the person they had been looking for all along.
"Good timing, starting from tomorrow you don’t need to come to the office for work, you can go straight to Zara Ward," Charlotte said to Elijah in a soft voice, "Don’t worry about the company side, we will not fire you, but we still have to pretend externally."
Elijah Walker listened seriously to Charlotte’s arrangements.
Because he trusted her.
"However, I’ve also heard about the unpleasant rumors and gossip at the company that have been directed at you; it must have affected you quite a bit," Charlotte said apologetically, "The truth is, Florienna Ellis’s case should be handled very soon, but there are other people behind Florienna Ellis. We want to lure this person out, so we have used your situation."
"That... Is George Robbins that person behind the scenes?" Elijah Walker guessed, after hearing Charlotte’s words.
"It’s eighty percent likely to be him, I’m really sorry, Elijah Walker."
Upon hearing Charlotte’s apology, Elijah Walker immediately waved his hands in panic, shaking his head like a wave drum, almost throwing his glasses off his face with the force of his movements.
"Miss Thompson, how can you say such a thing? If it wasn’t for your recognition, I wouldn’t have been able to achieve as much. You even entrusted such an important partnership to me, and as a result, I have even caused you to be subjected to others’ talk. I should be the one saying sorry."
Elijah Walker adjusted his glasses somewhat hastily.
He felt only gratitude towards Charlotte.
"It has little to do with me; everything is due to your own efforts and talents. A dusty pearl will eventually shine. I merely gave you a helping hand."
As soon as Charlotte finished speaking, Elijah Walker quickly stood up and bowed solemnly to her.
"Thank you, Miss Charlotte."
A smile filled Charlotte’s eyes.
She really liked employees who were diligent, earnest, and talented.
After making arrangements for Elijah Walker, Charlotte went to find Justin Battleson to tell him about George Robbins.
Justin Battleson had also investigated some matters regarding George Robbins.
"So it was him after all."
Justin handed the information he had in hand to Charlotte, "I didn’t expect him to have been an employee of Oliver Battleson’s company before."
"Your father?"
Charlotte glanced briefly at the information, then stood up and walked to the coffee machine, intending to brew herself a cup of coffee.
"Who would have thought he could have stayed in the company for so long, so deeply hidden."
"It seems we owe Florienna Ellis some gratitude; without her, George Robbins might not have been exposed so soon."
"Birds of a feather flock together. It’s just that I didn’t expect the problems to arise from the senior level of the company," Justin’s eyes carried a hint of coldness.
