Chapter 712: Chapter 710: 710: The President Is in a Bad Mood Today

The 66th floor was filled with an ominous atmosphere, and almost everyone could feel a heavy sensation hanging in the air. Apart from the low pressure, they could also see the looming storm overhead.

At this moment, the door to the President’s office opened, and a depressed man with a long face stepped out, wiping the continuous stream of sweat off his forehead before quickly hurrying downstairs.

As soon as he entered the elevator, the front desk and Secretary Office began to buzz with chatter and speculation.

“How many is that today?”

“Four?”

“Only four? I thought it was six?”

“I remember there being five. Three subsidiary managers and two directors.” The receptionist who spoke glanced at the Secretary Office, lowering her voice, “Add Secretary Thomas, and that’s six.”

“Lily Evans, are you talking about me? You don’t have to whisper, I can tell from your expression alone what you’re discussing.” Secretary Thomas had a gloomy and resigned expression.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

As soon as he spoke, a group of female receptionists immediately surrounded him, eager to gossip about the recent events, “Secretary Thomas, did President Lawrence really scold you just now?”

“What happened?”

“You only brought him a cup of coffee, right?”

Being surrounded by a group of young women, even the experienced Secretary Thomas couldn’t help but feel a bit embarrassed. Faced with their curious eyes, he couldn’t bring himself to refuse. He touched his nose, awkwardly replying, “President Lawrence said the coffee was too hot.”

“Huh? The coffee was too hot? You got scolded because of this?” The beautiful receptionists obviously didn’t believe him, “Secretary Thomas, did you make a mistake at work and are too shy to admit it?”

“It really was just because the coffee was too hot.” Secretary Thomas felt wronged. He always prepared the coffee at that temperature and President Lawrence had never complained about it being too hot before.

For some reason, he had a bad feeling when he first brought in the coffee this afternoon.

As expected, President Lawrence took one sip, after he set it down, and flew into a rage — the reason being the coffee was too hot!

Thinking about it, he himself couldn’t quite comprehend it.

“Anyway, the President is in a bad mood today. Everyone should be careful. Don’t make any mistakes, and also…” He paused, glancing at the President’s office, and made a hand gesture mimicking someone in distress, “If anyone is called into the president’s office today, be prepared.”

“Is it really that terrifying?”

“It is indeed that terrifying! President Lawrence’s mood today is really bad! Not just bad, but extremely bad! Just look at how Director Liu came out earlier, dripping with sweat and soaking his shirt. I don’t know how badly he was criticized. So, everyone should pray they don’t cross paths with the president. If you really get caught today, no one can save you.”

The beautiful front-desk women listened with stunned expressions before asking hesitantly, “Secretary Thomas, do you know why the President is in such a bad mood?”

“That… I’m not quite sure.” Secretary Thomas hesitated and said uncertainly, “All I know is that President Lawrence had a meeting with Rhine’s representatives today, and when he came back at noon, he didn’t look too happy. Perhaps… the contract wasn’t settled? Ah, I don’t know. If I knew why, I wouldn’t have been scolded over a cup of coffee.”

The receptionists wanted to ask more about the meeting with Rhine but Secretary Thomas waved them off, “Alright, let’s not discuss the president’s matters anymore. Just behave today since we know he’s in a bad mood.”

Seeing that he no longer wanted to talk, the receptionists dispersed, each returning to their respective positions.
