Since they were all looking at me with expectant looks, I started telling them the story of what had happed.
Wh I was done, they were looking at me with knitted brows.
But at the same time, I could see that Bing Lan, the purple haired woman, and the sharp dressed woman were looking at me with looks of disdainâ¦
It was only the red haired man who looked at me with sympathy.
I didn't want your sympathy, I just wanted to get out of this situation!
Of course, I would never say that out loud and just waited to see how they would react.
After a long silce, the purple haired woman said, "Well, it seems like it was just a matter of circumstance. They were caught up in something that they didn't intd to be caught up in."
There was a trace of disdain in her voice.
The red haired man th said, "Yes, it seems like he was just caught up in this matterâ¦"
There was sympathy in his voice.
But through all of this, Bing Lan never said a word as she just narrowed her eyes to look at me.
After a long silce, she finally said, "Can you go out for a second, I want to talk to him alone for a bit."
They were all surprised to hear this, but the purple haired woman and the red haired man started to leave with a nod.
It was only the sharp dressed woman who hesitated a bit before leaving.
It looked like there was something that she wanted to say before leaving, but she still left after oping and closing her mouth a few times.
Once it was just the two of us in the office, Bing Lan looked at me and asked, "Is there anything else that you have to say?"
I was surprised by her suddly asking this question before revealing a confused look.
As far as I could remember, there wasn't anything that I had deliberately hidd from her during my story. I should have described everything properly, so there shouldn't have be a single discrepancy.
Seeing that I wasn't saying a single thing, Bing Lan picked up the pieces of papers that the sharp dressed woman had giv to her earlier and placed them in front of me.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
She didn't say anything as if she was waiting for me to read them first.
I slowly picked these up and looked them over, revealing a shocked look wh I read what was writt.
It was about the finances of the club, as well as who the owner wasâ¦including a certain investor who had some shares in the club.
An investor named Lin Fan.
I couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat wh I read this.
It turned out that she had already known everything and she was just waiting for me to confessâ¦
It was no wonder the sharp dressed woman had looked at me so coldly the tire time.
I oped my mouth to explain, but all I could say was, "Iâ¦thisâ¦"
Bing Lan shook her head before raising her hand and saying, "Stop."
I closed my mouth and just waited for her to speak.
She narrowed her eyes to look at me before saying, "Did you really think that a powerful guild like Elemtia wouldn't be able to get such basic information?"
I secretly gave a bitter laugh.
I didn't think that, it was just I never thought that they would check it this thoroughly.
This should have be considered a small matter for them, so they should have just checked the basic facts instead of checking everything. But I had underestimated how professional Elemtia's investigation departmt was.
But I had no choice in this matter.
I had to leave a paper trail just to make sure that it wasn't strange that I had part ownership of this club.
If I didn'tâ¦people might ev suspect me of doing something to Sasha and that was the last thing that I wanted since I had actually done something to herâ¦
Now I had be caught by the tail by the very tail that I had left, I really couldn't say anything.
Seeing that I wasn't saying a thing, Bing Lan said, "Since you're a part owner of this club, can you really tell me that you had no ulterior motives for going there?"
I oped my mouth for a few seconds before suddly giving a sigh and saying, "I admit that I had ulterior motives. Do what you want with me. Fire me if you wish."
I knew that it was over, so I could only wait and see how she would punish me.
Bing Lan raised a brow before saying, "Fire you? Why would I do that?"
I also raised a brow as I looked back at her.
She had a guinely surprised look, so it didn't seem like she was kidding.
But I had gone against the interests of the guild like this?
Wasn't it normal to fire me after something like this?
After a momt of silce, I slowly asked, "Are you not firing me? I hurt the interest of the guild with this plan, so isn't it normal to cut me off?"
Bing Lan shook her head before saying, "This is nothing more than a small matter. If you really think that something as small as this could hurt Elemtia, th you're looking down on Elemtia too much. It's just a simple PR issue that we can easily handle."
After a pause, she added, "Thoughâ¦there is the problem of how to handle that club of yours."
I gave an awkward chuckle hearing this.
Bing Lan tapped her fingers on the table a bit before narrowing her eyes to look at me.
Wh she did so, I could feel a strong chill running down my spine.
Looking at me with this glare, she asked with a smile, "So tell me, wh did you op up a place like this? I want to hear the tire story."
Though her lips was smiling, her eyesâ¦wer't.
