Emmanuel’s expression darkened immediately. That woman’s attitude was

completely unfit for an employee of Terence Group. Especially since the

branch was trying to establish itself in Zovince with a solid reputation–having

“Is that so?” Emmanuel immediately pulled out his phone and called Gautier.

“Emmanuel, are you at the branch? Perfect, I was just heading back to the

office. I’ll be there soon!”

“Alright, I’ll wait for you,” Emmanuel said, holding back further explanation until

Gautier arrived.

Julian, still heated, snapped at the woman, “You’re in deep trouble now! You don’t even know who your real boss is, and you’ve been shouting nonsense,
