Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 723 Critically Ill

Meanwhile, Oscar did not care about how Isabella felt. He refocused his attention on the documents. Despite being initially calm, he blew up in an explosive rage while flipping through the pages. “Linda, get the director of our Sales Department in here!”

After receiving that order, Linda hurriedly phoned one of the assistants in the Sales Department. She instructed the latter to get Jerry over at once.

In no time, Jerry arrived outside the office and knocked for permission to enter. She nervously asked, “You wanted to see me, Mr. Clinton?”

Oscar tossed the document over to her feet before thundering, “You’ve worked in this company for many years, Jerry. One can even say you’ve worked here the longest. So, tell me this. Why does the project I entrusted you to come up with an investment budget for require so much money?”

Startled by those words, Jerry instantly picked up the document and noticed an extra zero in the total budget. The original budget of only five hundred million became five billion, which was ten times more. If they were to proceed with that budget, the company would undoubtedly suffer massive losses.

All color drained from Jerry’s face. Never had she expected to commit such a grave mistake. In fact, it was her worst error since joining the company.

“I’m so sorry, Mr. Clinton, I didn’t realize there was another zero. I swear there was no mistake when I checked the documents before printing them. I have no idea how this happened,” she explained.

“Jerry, I have always thought that you would never make excuses for your mistakes, especially after working here for so many years. Yet, you’re now surprising me with such a weak excuse. I can’t believe someone of your capability can make such a basic mistake. Take it away and revise it at once. Don’t let me catch you doing this again; otherwise, I’ll consider revoking your position as director.” With that, Oscar waved her off dismissively.

Jerry nodded. “I’ll be off then, Mr. Clinton.”

Oscar no longer bothered to look at her.

Following that, Jerry exited the office and walked toward the elevator. There, the elevator doors opened to reveal a smiling Amelia, who said, “Jerry, what a coincidence.”

Despite feeling aggrieved, Jerry forced a smile. “Hey, Mrs. Clinton. Are you here to see Mr. Clinton?”

Amelia instantly sensed something was wrong with the former and asked, “Did Oscar tell you off about something?”

“I made a mistake during work, so it’s only normal for Mr. Clinton to tell me off.” Jerry did not want to dwell on the matter, so she turned aside and added, “Go on in, Mrs. Clinton. I’ll head back to work now. We can chat later on when we’re free.”

Just then, Amelia grabbed Jerry’s hand and said, “I’ll go and look for you in a bit. Let’s go have some coffee.”

“Sure.”
