“But this is against the rules, and the others will certainly have something to say about it,” Luca said, finding it a bit strange. Darcy was not fond of Kaze before this, so what changed her mind? “What else can the others say? He’s the manager, and even if he doesn’t show, they won’t say anything about it. Just take it as a day off from me. If anyone asks, tell them it’s unpaid leave,” she said. Kaze was paid handsomely, so one day of unpaid leave would not affect much. Besides, it was just an excuse she came up with to patronize the employees, not a real punishment. “I understand. I’ll make the arrangements. The others have been talking about it.” “They’re paid to work, not gossip. They should spend the time to create more value for the company instead,” Darcy grumbled. She seemed to be in a sulky mood. “Don’t worry. They know what they’re doing. I’m sure they’re keeping up with their work,” Luca said as she softly shook her head. The CEO was obviously biased toward

“Would you like to look at other companies for other prospects? We are still quite new here. We need to keep reaching out,” Luca said. “I got it. We’ll see how it goes.” Darcy was more worried about the headquarters finding out about what happened and criticizing her for her performance. Even though she was currently working at the branch office, the headquarters still wanted tight control. They trusted her, but they also wanted to keep a firm grip on everything she did and the company’s operations. Their strong obsession with controlling her annoyed her, but she knew she could not escape from them. The only option was to comply. “When I was on the phone with the Titan Group, one of the employees overheard me, and I think the whole office already knows by now,” Luca said, glancing nervously at Darcy. She had raised her voice at the employee, and that only made it worse. Now, more people were paying attention. On top of that, there were eyes from headquarters within the bran

Darcy was not in a good spot. She had a lot of things to consider before making a move, and that hesitation worried her employees. They even started to doubt her. They did not know how long she would be there. Would she be transferred again soon? They had just gotten used to the shift in management and did not want the peace to be disrupted. Kaze tried to calm them down and explained the situation to them so that they could stay focused on their work and avoid distractions from unnecessary concerns. After he got a better understanding of the company’s internal affairs, he returned to his office and texted Edmund. He knew Darcy’s company was working with Edmund’s. However, Edmund put his men in charge of liaising with Darcy and had never visited in person. Kaze understood it was not worth Edmund’s time to visit a small branch company, but now that Darcy’s company was facing a problem, he wanted to change it. If Edmund could show up, it could take some pressure off Darcy’s should

“Thanks, guys. Honestly, I wasn’t planning to take part, but since you’ve brought it up, I might as well throw in a proposal and see if I can give you all some competition. You’re all senior managers here, after all. I’d be foolish not to follow your advice.” Kaze was not the least bit bothered by their sarcastic jabs, much less affected by them. Since they wanted him to join the little competition, he would simply play along. Edmund was one of his own, and no matter how weak his proposal was, it would be chosen. The purpose of Edmund’s visit was simple: to invest in Darcy’s company. Since Kaze was a manager here, unless Edmund was completely out of his mind, he would surely choose Kaze’s proposal. Kaze could just sit back and wait to see the other managers eat their words.Kaze did not have to worry and simply waited to beat the other managers in this little competition. He returned to his office, grabbed the documents he needed, and headed straight to the meeting room. Edmun

Edmund’s explanation left the managers speechless. They were shocked yet defeated by his questions. They realized they were not up to the challenge. They had their shot, and they let it slip through their fingers. They should have at least given it a try instead of sitting down like losers. Instead, they were held back by Edmund’s inquiry because they feared defeat. Now that Kaze had Edmund’s acknowledgement, they felt nothing but regret. They even started to resent him and simply thought he was lucky. However, not once did they think they were the ones who backed down when challenged. They did not dare to speak up, and that was why they lost. “I believe you all understand this was an opportunity, but you didn’t take it. Don’t blame your colleague for bravely standing up to the challenge. You should help each other out and encourage each other,” Edmund added. He was like a kind-hearted boss, trying to encourage his employees after the defeat. It was his character that people
