Chapter 1061: Headlines

Instead of celebrating, Stephen had to put down his glass of champagne to rectify or reduce their losses. While their stocks continued to drop, their phones rang nonstop. Those who had attended the ceremony also had to leave to meet others for help. But before they left, they never forgot to glare at Stephen. They all made sure he saw the look in their eyes.

In the CEO's department, papers were flying around amidst the chaos. Some people bumped into each other, causing even more papers to fly through the air and rain down on them. The same was happening across every department in the company, as emergency meetings were being held to address the situation.

It was a disaster-one that never occurred during Atlas's or even Charles's tenure.

People at Global Prime Logistics had always claimed they were just as busy as the CEO (Atlas), but only today did they realize they had been slacking off. Even those in the CEO's department, who had stayed behind, couldn't believe the amount of work Atlas and Allen had been doing for the company.

This was just the worst.

One little sip wasn't enough. He needed an entire glass-heck, a pint would be better at this point!

"Hah!" he huffed, hissing in satisfaction as the alcohol slid down his throat. "God damn that Charles Bennet!"

Stephen gripped the glass tightly, about to throw it at the wall when he stopped himself. Getting worked up wasn't worth it... freewebnovel.com
