Love and Devotion No Longer His to Claim by Dream Fish

Chapter 216

As Logan's name was suddenly called, he immediately turned pale.

There was no way Sean had reported his absence. He barely showed up ten days a month.

Not only was Logan unable to hold anyone accountable, but he also had to help cover things up. After all, Andrew was the boss.

"Mr. Chapman, it seems that despite being the head of the HR department, you aren't too familiar with the company's leave policies. If that's the case, perhaps we should find someone more competent for the job?" Angela arched a brow at Logan, her eyes carrying a sharp warning.
