Chapter 155 He Is Late

The next day, at Sentiment Chemical Limited, Zayne had gathered everyone from the sales department

for a corporate meeting. However, Jared hadn’t arrived yet.

“What’s with Jared? Why hasn’t he arrived at work?” Zayne took a quick glance around and asked.

He was directing his question toward Hilda because he knew that she would most probably know the

reason behind Jared’s late arrival.

However, Hilda had no clue about where Jared was. She was getting nervous, as she thought something

bad might have happened to him. What if he got into trouble last night? Maybe he lied to me so that I

wouldn’t be worried about him!

“Jared should be here soon,” Hilda blurted as she took out her phone to give Jared a call.

“I’ll make a record of this. He has only been here a few days, and yet he’s already late for work!” Zayne

said coldly.

Zayne took full advantage of the situation because he was keen on having dirt on Jared.

“Mr. Carlson, perhaps he has realized that he was too full of himself by promising to secure the contract

with Cosmic Chemical. Thus, he’s too embarrassed to show his face here!” Lydia mocked while laughing

sinisterly.

“That could be it!” Zayne nodded.

The others started to mock Jared as well. They knew that it was a tough task to secure the contract.

Since Zayne and Maria had failed to secure it after making several attempts, it was very unlikely that an

insignificant salesperson like Jared would be able to do it.

“That’s not it! Jared will surely be here.” Hilda jumped to Jared’s defense.

“It’s so late already. I bet he’s just too embarrassed to come!” Lydia sniggered.

“Other than talking big, Jared is good for nothing else!” Maria added. After all the things that had

happened recently, her hatred for Jared was piling up.

Anxious, Hilda was still trying to reach Jared by making calls.

By the time Jared answered the call, he was already making his way into the office. He was late because

he couldn’t wake up in time after a whole night long of cultivating his spiritual energy.

“You’re finally here, Jared! I thought something bad happened to you!” Hilda greeted with a sigh of relief.

“Nothing bad happened to me! I couldn’t get up in time.” Jared smiled.

“Jared, you’re a worker! You should at least be punctual. Since you’re late, you’ll be fined five hundred as

punishment,” Zayne yelled furiously.

A penalty of five hundred was considered much, since Jared had only been working for a few days.

“Mr. Carlson, isn’t five hundred a bit too much? Could you give Jared another chance, since this is only

his first offense?” Hilda pleaded.

“There are rules in this company. There’s no way around it. The amount is stated in the company policy.”

Zayne smirked.

“Whatever. I don’t care.” Jared wasn’t bothered by the penalty at all.

Upon seeing that, Zayne was infuriated. He then roared, “Do you remember what you said yesterday,

Jared? If you fail to secure the contract with Cosmic Chemical by today, you’ll have to resign!”

“All right. Whatever you say!” Jared replied nonchalantly as he took his seat.

Zayne was extremely irritated by Jared’s attitude. However, his mood improved when the thought of

Jared resigning crossed his mind.

“Jared, Yolanda told me that one of our ex-classmates is working in Cosmic Chemical. Maybe I can put

in a good word for you. In fact, that person is an office administrator in the company. I think he could be

instrumental to your task!” Hilda said.
