“Hah, she has practically taken over the company. That’s certainly impressive!” Jayden muttered under his breath, seemingly displeased with Rosa.
Veronica heard his words clearly and asked him, “What’s going on?” Jayden averted his gaze, displaying a wounded demeanor akin to a distressed kitten, yet he remained silent.
Veronica didn’t like his evasive behavior. She shut the file and slammed it heavily on the table, questioning him, “Is it that hard for you to speak?”
Without a choice, Shawn spoke on behalf of him. “You should ask her.” Since neither of them wanted to answer, Veronica turned to Rosa.
“After joining the company, I discovered issues with their operations, prompting me to actively participate in the operations and planning stages in the name of President Robins. Subsequently, I took charge of several projects and achieved a string of successful outcomes, earning the majority of the company’s employees’ trust and reliance. Hence, they started developing a dismissive attitude toward Mr. Adler and Mr. Stoll, which explains why both of them are resentful of me,” answered Rosa.
She then added, “I acknowledge that my actions are inappropriate, but President Robins invested in the company too. He specifically instructed me to ensure consistent growth in profits after I joined the company, so I was just following orders.”
With just a simple explanation, Veronica understood why Shawn and Jayden suddenly became indifferent to company matters.
Shaking her head, she commended Rosa, “Well done. I’ve noticed that you’ve brought nearly 4.5 million in profits to the company, so I can’t just ignore your efforts. How about this? I’ll have the finance department transfer 150 thousand dollars to you as a reward for your hard work.”
“No way!” Jayden immediately retorted. Shawn also stood up. He pulled a long face as he scolded, “Veronica Murphy, don’t forget that the company is a collaboration between the three of us. Shouldn’t you consult us before making any decisions?”
“Consult you? Should I consult you about how you openly solicit prostitutes in the office?” Veronica stood up and threw the file at Shawn. “Look at how you managed the company when I was away. The monthly revenue you two generated was less than 450 thousand dollars, while Rosa has only been in the company for three months and has increased the profits by over 4.5 million!”
“Are you going to give me another excuse? Did you assume that I was oblivious to the fact that you and Jayden have been bullying Shirley in the company?” Veronica slammed the table in anger. “The reason I ignored it was to not embarrass you two, so know your place!”
After being scolded by Veronica, Shawn, and Jayden pursed their lips and no longer said. another word. Rosa, on the other hand, remained composed. and said, “I appreciate it, President Murphy, but I am already being compensated by Vincere Games and President Robins’ company. I shall respectfully decline the reward.”
“Alright, then. You may leave.” Veronica dismissed her. With that, Rosa walked out the door, leaving the three of them in the office.
Sitting on the chair, Veronica uttered in a calm tone, “The reason we established the company in the first place was to make money. Although Rosa did overstep her boundaries at work, her abilities are evident. If you two are unwilling to have 150 thousand dollars recorded in the company’s accounts, then I’ll deposit it into my personal account. Anyway, I’m back now, which also means that Rosa can leave the company.”
She uttered those words intentionally. “Huh? We…” Jayden’s expression changed as he felt anxious. “Y-You can’t do that!”
“I don’t think that’s a good idea either. Rosa has been in the company for some time now. If she suddenly leaves, our colleagues in the company… Um, it won’t look good if President Robins finds out,” Shawn remarked.
Although they were dissatisfied with Rosa’s style of work, they didn’t want her to leave. After all, they recognized her abilities.
“Rosa works for Skyler. It is her decision to stay or to leave.” Veronica glanced at the documents on the table and instructed, “You may leave now. I’m going to go through the financial statements in detail.”
The two hesitated for a moment before heading out, but they had a tacit understanding to apologize to Rosa humbly after that.
