C92 It Is Part Of The Policy

After a while, he stood up and distributed new assignments, forcing everyone to return to work. The office finally became quiet again.

While everyone else was working peacefully, one person was in a terrible mood. Ben.

Early that morning he had gone directly to the Finance Department to ask about my reward.

When they informed him how much I had received, his face turned gray. “Father is overdoing it,” he muttered. “That’s practically double an intern’s salary.”

His gloomy expression frightened several employees. After staring at them coldly, he turned around and left.

The Finance Department employees looked at one another in confusion. The reward followed company policy. Why was the Vice Director upset?

Soon whispers began spreading. “Doesn’t the Vice Director know company policy?” “What happens when he becomes Director one day?” “He’s still young.” “He has a lot to learn.”

Unfortunately for them, Ben had not gone far. He stood outside the door long enough to hear every word.

His face darkened. Without saying anything, he returned to his office. He closed the door and made a phone call. “…Get it done.” “Make sure it looks like he did it.” “Your reward will be waiting.” After giving several instructions, his mood improved slightly.

At noon, Chris, Alicia and I headed to the café. As usual, strange looks followed us. But this time none of us cared. We laughed, chatted and enjoyed our meal.
