Chapter 271 Making Fun of Him

What did you say?” Kelly could not comprehend what Alexander meant.

He glanced at Courtney, who understood his meaning. While looking at Kelly, she announced, “Alexander is now the supervisor of the Hunter Group’s head of finance.”

“What?” Kelly incredulously glared with widened eyes. “How is that possible? He’s from the Sunhill Enterprise! How can he be the head of finance here? Apart from that, how can you just appoint someone to take the position like this? Do you still respect the board of directors?”

“I do respect them, but I’m not sure whether they have the same amount of respect for me.” Courtney lowered her voice. “Apart from that, I never planned to appoint the replacement without notifying anyone.

“Now that she’s sent to our place, who else is she going to jinx?”
