The Man’s Decree

Chapter 195 Unity

“Mom, Dad, I’m home!” Jared yelled out right after Chloe finished her sentence.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

Everyone stood up and rushed over to the entrance to welcome Jared.

Jared was startled when he saw so many people at his home.

“Jared, are you okay?” Hannah kept running her hands through Jared to find out if he was hurt.

“Mom, I’m fine! I’m just hungry. I haven’t had my dinner!” Jared smiled.

“I’m glad you’re fine! I’ll go prepare dinner for you!” Hannah exclaimed with a bright smile on her face.

“I’ll accompany you, Hannah.” Chloe helped Hannah to the kitchen.

“Hi, Mr. Saunders!” Jared greeted when he saw Franklin.

“Are you really all right?” Franklin was sizing Jared up. “I realized something was wrong when Maria came back with the news. I knew the Porsche belonged to Leyton. And since you guys aren’t on good terms, surely he was going to find trouble with you. But too bad, all my contacts didn’t dare to go up against the Scott family. I had no choice but to sit and wait.”

“I’m fine, Mr. Saunders. Thanks for your concern.” A grateful smile flashed across Jared’s face when he saw how much Franklin cared about him.

“That’s good. It’s getting late now. We shall make a move.” Franklin and Maria left shortly after.

Although Maria didn’t say a word throughout, Jared saw a hint of relief in her eyes now that he got back unharmed.

He went to bed after dinner, and Chloe headed home after hanging out for a bit.

The next day, Jared went to Dragon Bay for his training. He didn’t improve much despite being there the whole day. Well, it’s still better than nothing!

On Monday morning, Jared arrived at the sales department. However, he sensed an unusual vibe in the air.

“Mr. Jennings would usually organize a corporate meeting every Monday. What’s going on? Why haven’t we heard from him?”

“Exactly! I’ve been here for three years now. This is the first time this has happened. What’s going on?”

“Has Mr. Jennings fallen sick?”

Everyone in the sales department was whispering among themselves.

“That’s enough. Stop speculating. Once Zayne gets here, I’m sure he’ll tell us what’s going on,” Maria said to the others.

Not long after that, Zayne arrived with a document in his hands.

“Mr. Carlson, what happened to Mr. Jennings?”

“Yeah, I don’t think I’ve seen him coming to work today. Have you seen him?”

“I heard he left early last Friday. Is that true?”

Everyone directed their questions toward Zayne.

“Mr. Jennings was fired and has left the company,” Zayne said in despair.

He was devastated because he had already invested so much time and effort to butter Xavier up. He even had eyes on being promoted to the managerial post in the procurement department. But since Xavier had gone, so did his hopes and dreams.

“What? Why? Then who will be our general manager?”

“This is too sudden! There wasn’t any sign nor warning!”

“Exactly! Now that Mr. Jennings is gone, we’d have to cope with someone new!”

“Surely our next general manager is going to be harsh on us. We’re doomed.”

Everyone started discussing among themselves.

“Shut your mouths!” Zayne roared. He was already in a bad mood upon receiving the news. The endless discussions had only irritated him even more.

Everyone went silent and stared at Zayne.

“Regardless of who is going to be our new general manager, every one of us in the sales department should stick together. Unity is strength!” Zayne was worried that the newly appointed general manager was going to go hard on him. Hence, he took the opportunity to unite his staff and gain support from them.

“Yes! We’ll follow Mr. Carlson’s instructions!”

“I’ll go wherever you point toward, Mr. Carlson!”

“Don’t worry, Mr. Carlson. You have our support!”

Everyone in the sales department renounced their allegiance to Zayne.
