Scathan The Approver Novels & Stories

I pressed my fists to my chest, rocking forward, my breath stuttering. When I finally stood, my legs were shaking, my face blotchy and swollen as I wiped my face and opened my laptop. One authorization request waited at the top of the screen. Add Advisory Board Member: Pending Approval Name: Marcus Hale Affiliation: Greene Legacy Holdings (Proxy) Fiona appeared in the doorway. “You sure?” “Yes,” I said, my voice steady. “Let him in.” She studied me for a long moment, then nodded. “This will flush them out,” she said.

The next person looked at her and said, "I am Alex Cobb. I look after the accounting department and we check whether the applicant still owes any payments. We check if they have any outstanding balances. We negotiate with them if their installments are on time and the payments are not too high. The amount was approved and transferred to the pack account. In fact, we received a signature from our general manager to proceed. Then we transferred the amount." He looked at Alpha David and said to him, "Please Alpha David you can process now." Alpha David smiled at him and said, "Yes, my work is to approve the application with a signature." "I hope I have already introduced myself to you, Kate." H

Whoever used it knew the system well. He picked up his phone and called Mara. “I need you in my office. Now.” A few minutes later, she arrived with a tablet in hand. “You saw it too,” she said before he could speak. “Yes,” Cassian replied. “Who approved it?” “That’s the problem,” Mara said. “It was approved using an executive pathway that hasn’t been active in months.” Cassian raised his eyebrows in slight realization. “My father.” “Yes,” she said quietly. “Or someone pretending to be him.”

"Janet, I need you to do something first thing tomorrow. Contact Gregory Wilson's replacement in Loan Approvals. What's his name again?" "Marcus Chen." "Right. Have him pull every Caldwell loan file for the past five years. Physical copies, not just digital. And I need the risk assessment reports that should have accompanied each application." Janet's eyebrows rose slightly, but her professional demeanor remained intact. "All of them, sir? That's dozens of files." "Every single one," Miller confirmed. "And Janet? Keep this between us for now." She nodded, understanding the gravity in his tone. "Will that be all, sir?"

The manager got up from his seat, along with his assistant. The assistant stepped forward and said to Jeffrey in a placating tone, “Sir, you have to be authorized.” Jeffrey’s expression showed that he thought those words were actually bullshit. He slid his card out from his pocket and flung it at the assistant’s chest. “Is that enough fucking authorization for you?” He spat. The assistant glanced down at the card and gave the manager a wide eyed stare. The manager swallowed and asked tentatively, “You are Chase Axford’s brother?”

Stood in my small apartment with its secondhand furniture and its four plants and its walls that still needed paint and felt something settle in my chest like a foundation finding bedrock. My phone buzzed again. Unknown number. New York area code. I almost declined it. Almost. “Ms. Carter?” A voice I didn’t recognize. Male. Measured. The specific tone of someone accustomed to being listened to. “My name is Richard Hale. I believe we have some things to discuss.” The floor shifted slightly under my feet. “How did you get this number?” I said. “Ms. Carter,” he said. “I’ve been watching your work at Mercer and Lane. The approval chain proposal. That’s not entry level thinking.” A pause weighted

(Catherine) “Hmm..I agree…do it, I approved…oh and, how about the Virtue Medical organizations reconstruct?…Since I have promised that Mariah Mills will be the CEO…then she should be the one..How about the rest of the positions?…do you already have the candidates?..”.

He rejected it again: "The expected benefits are not clear enough. Please quantify." The third time, I was almost begging. "The teacher has urged me multiple times. The deadline is today at 5 p.m. Could this be approved first? I will supplement the detailed benefits afterward." Read. No reply. At 4.30 p.m., he finally responded: "I just asked Noah. He said the competition isn’t all that valuable. Focus on your regular coursework instead. Prioritize preparing for final exams." I rushed into the study to find my mom.

Lena whispered quietly, “The network selected him.” Inside the vault Marcus smiled. “Recognition at last.” Sebastian’s voice stayed cold. “You’re not winning this.” Marcus shrugged. “We’ll see.” On Leo’s screen the administrator panel changed again. Three names now filled the control hierarchy. PRIMARY ADMINISTRATOR: LEO CARTER SECONDARY ADMINISTRATOR: ZERO TERTIARY ADMINISTRATOR: MARCUS KNIGHT Then another system message appeared.
