Lyna’s aide laughed heartily with her as if everything was certain to go their way.
Meanwhile, Hannah and Natasha had returned to Hannah’s villa. Although there was some conflict between Fabian and Xavier, Hannah felt that it wasn’t too serious. After all, both of them were among the heirs of the five prominent families.
As for Fabian, he wasn’t in a hurry to meet Xavier. When he headed back to his office, he felt that he was neglecting his duty as the boss.
Every single decision in the company regardless of its importance had to go through him. Therefore, he had caused many of them to be delayed. However, he wasn’t too concerned about the profits as the Phoenix Group had no peer in the nation currently. Nevertheless, it didn’t mean that he had lost interest in them.
Just when Fabian was considering which company to cooperate with for greater profit, he was interrupted by a phone call. When he answered, he heard the receptionist’s voice over the line.
“Mr. Norton, there’s a man downstairs who claims to have important information to share with you. Do you think we should get him to leave or…”
“Huh?”
Fabian was surprised. Something to report to me? His aides had their own line of communications and wouldn’t have been stopped by the reception. Furthermore, there didn’t seem to be anything suspicious going on lately.
“What does he look like?” Fabian asked.
“Um… he is about twenty-five. Dressed in sportswear – he is also wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses. He seems to be nervously looking around as if he is afraid of being seen.”
The receptionist scrutinized the man and reported what she saw as instructed by Fabian.
“Alright, let him come up,” Fabian replied before ending the call.
“John, escort this man to Mr. Norton’s office.”
As the receptionist barked out her orders to an usher, she couldn’t help but feel curious about the man’s identity. After all, it wasn’t easy being granted an appointment with the president, and yet this person managed to snag one.
Soon, the usher led the man to Fabian’s office. “This is Mr. Norton’s office. Please go on ahead.”
Only after knocking on the door did the usher leave.
“Come in.”
As the man stood at the entrance in both awe and fear, he heard a magnetic voice call out.
The man walked in after taking in a deep breath. It was as if he was about to make a momentous decision.
After he entered, he checked his surroundings nervously before shutting it.
When Fabian noticed how jittery the man was, he was curious to know what it was all about. He simply watched the nervous man’s actions in silence.
The next moment, the man turned around and took a few steps toward Fabian. When he noticed that Fabian was watching him, he instinctively averted his gaze and took a few steps back.
Is he really our boss’ boss? Why is he so young?
After a long while, the man finally spoke, “Mr. Norton, my name is Daniel Crane, and I’m an employee at Galaxy Corp, a subsidiary of Phoenix Group.”
Fabian nodded. As there were many subsidiaries under Phoenix Group, it was impossible for him to know the names of every single employee. Looking at Daniel, he asked, “What brings you here?”
Daniel gulped as he stepped forward and replied, “Mr. Norton, I… I would like to expose the vice president of Galaxy Corp, Mr. William Greis.”
Fabian couldn’t help but chuckle. After such a long time, all the man wanted to do was uncover someone’s wrongdoings. Fabian was naturally aware of the corruption that was going on amongst his subordinates. However, he would turn a blind eye as long as they didn’t overdo it. After all, rooting out corruption at that level seemed to be a futile endeavor.
Having heard Daniel’s words, an image of a potbellied middle-aged man flashed across Fabian’s mind. As the president of Phoenix Group, he naturally knew all the important figures working at the subsidiaries, and William was one of them.
