Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 1576

Like how Kaleb had squeezed into the elevator, Jonathan squeezed into his office before the door was completely closed.

Kaleb could not help pulling a long face. "Jonathan, why are you staying here instead of returning to your office to work?"

"We've been working together for so many years. It should be fine for me to have breakfast at your place, right?" Jonathan shook the sandwich in his hand. Ignoring Kaleb's will, he sat down on the sofa, opened the package and began to eat.

Kaleb wanted to call the security, but they were colleagues after all. Even if the security guard came, he had no valid reasons to drive him away. So he could only try his best to ignore Jonathan. After coming to his desk and sitting down, he began to work absent-mindedly.

During the time, Jonathan said while eating, "I heard from Yasir that you gave him another 400,000 dollars later?"

Kaleb's fingers, which were holding the pen, tightened slightly. He thought that Yasir really had no integrity at all. He had told him not to reveal the specific amount to others!

"By the way, the other supervisors also claimed that you've added quite an amount of money to them." Jonathan continued.

Kaleb gritted his teeth. The neutral parties had all been easily swayed. He had given them enough benefits, yet they betrayed him without hesitation!

They were clearly planning on two-timing. Once Jonathan could give them more benefits, they would immediately turn against him!

At the moment, Jonathan added, "Let me calculate the accounts for you. You have the most men in the board, being 25 of them. I have 20, while Yasir has the least, being 15 of them.

According to the rules of the company, as long as more than half of the board vote for it, the director could be appointed or dismissed from his position on board. That was to say, once you gained six more supporters, you could be the acting chairman.

For now, you have given your 6 supporters including Yasir 1.4 million each. The total would be 8.4 million, which is almost 10 million. Concerning such a big sum of money, I'm really curious about its source."

Kaleb's heart trembled slightly. The money he had added to Yasir and the others was from the bank card he found in Yancie's room after he killed her.

Kaleb shuddered at the thought of the corpse that he had buried inside a suitcase in the outskirts of the city.

Kaleb was not afraid at first. But after he had truly done it, he became more and more scared at the thought of it..

Kaleb raised his chin after barely suppressing the fear. He said to Jonathan, "What's so strange about that? I've been in the casino for many years. Isn't it a normal thing to occasionally make a fortune with luck?"

Jonathan sounded sarcastic as he said. "But I heard from others that you lost for most of the time in the casino."

"Duh! Of course I won't reveal my wealth. What if I get kidnapped?"

Then, Kaleb said again, "Jonathan, if you really think there's something fishy, take out evidence and testify against me in a fair way, okay?"

Jonathan's face tensed up a little. If he had the evidence, he would have sent the police to arrest him. Was there any need to beat around the bush there?

Since he could not get any useful information from him, there was no need to stay any longer. Jonathan packed his meal before standing up and walking out of the office.

At the moment, Kaleb's cold voice came, "Hey, Jonathan, I really don't understand what you are still holding on to. Director Ramsay has lost her power. So I suggest you to find another person to follow."

Jonathan stopped walking and said without looking back when he heard this, "Even if Director Ramsay leaves the company and the company gets closed down, I won't follow a lousy guy like you."

Kaleb hated most when others spoke ill of him. "The company is now flourishing and you may keep your mouth shut!"

Jonathan sneered with his back to him, "Kaleb, don't be unconvinced when I call you a fool. This company is not as peaceful as it looks. Many parts are linked by Director Ramsay which once she leaves, you and the company will be seriously affected."

Kaleb was immediately pissed that he lost cool. "You're the f*cking fool instead! I know what I'm doing!"

After the roar, Kaleb then realised that he had been acting like a fool as Jonathan had already left.

"Alright then, since Jonathan would look down on me always, I must be the acting chairman! I'll prove how I could lead the company back to the top again!" Kaleb mumbled confidently and said impatiently, "No, I must hold the board meeting as soon as possible!"

On the other side.

When Jonathan arrived at his office, he saw Kaiden standing outside. "Kaiden, are you looking for me?"

Kaiden turned around and saw Jonathan. He was walking towards him with his remaining breakfast while wiping his mouth. "Mr. Tucker, it's still early. Why shall you eat on the way?"

"Nah." Jonathan explained, "I ran into Kaleb in the elevator just now, so I followed him to his office to annoy him. But I failed in the end, so I left with my remaining breakfast."

"I see." After Kaiden nodded, he pointed towards Jonathan's office and asked, "Should we go in and chat for a bit?"

"Sure." Jonathan took out the door key from his pocket and opened the office door. Both of them entered the room.

"Well, I've always had this feeling since she left the company." Kaiden said sadly.

After thinking about it, Jonathan firmly answered, "I won't leave unless the Apex Construction Corporation goes bankrupt and gets closed down.

This is my promise to the chairman." ★

After coming out of Jonathan's office, Kaiden stood on the spot and thought about it. Suddenly, he went to the office building where Amelia had worked before.

On a small desk, there placed a cactus and a computer. Other than that, there were countless documents on it.

There was a person with her head buried in the folders. She would look at the computer, and then note on the documents from time to time, looking extremely busy.

After looking for a long time, Kaiden suddenly strode over and knocked on the desk, "Hey, girl, how are you doing?"

Audrey looked up looking exhausted and cried to Kaiden, whom she could not see clearly in front of her, "I'm bullied by all of them!"

Kaiden knew that ever since Amelia did not come to work, Kaleb had deliberately asked his subordinates to send their sundry tasks to Audrey.

There were several times when he was pissed by such. But Audrey was different from Amelia after all. So he did not have the reason to stand up for her. However, he found that her workload was thrice of the previous day's. It was impossible for her to finish it even if she overworked to death.

His anger surged when he saw this. He grabbed the pen from Audrey's hand and said firmly, "Stop doing it."

Audrey moved her fingers, which had held the pen for long, and then said to Kaiden, "I have no choice but to do it. Otherwise, they will double the work for me tomorrow, I..."

"I said stop!" Kaiden reached out to close the folder in front of her and ruthlessly threw it aside.

"Hey, don't do that!" Audrey was in a hurry to pick it up, but her hand was pulled by Kaiden. "Do you want to go out and relax?"

"Of course I do!" Audrey responded reflexively but then shook her head. "Forget it. There's still a bunch of work waiting for me."

"F*ck work!" Kaiden directly pulled her out of the desk and said domineeringly, "Just go out and relax with me. If anyone troubles you, I'll stand up for you."
