Chapter 284 He Returned to the Company

He was a little confused. At this moment, Burton pushed the door open and came in, "President

Adams."

August came to his sense and nodded slightly, "How about the company?"

'The meeting will be held in an hour.” Burton reported, suddenly thinking of something, and

hesitantly said,

"Also, there is an emergency. The director of our company’s Finance Department has had an

accident. Due to some personal financial disputes, it was suddenly censored.”

Hearing this, August suddenly turned cold and said, "Is it our men?"

Burton nodded and said, "Yes, it's Steven Selby who you specially transferred to the Finance

Department.”

The room suddenly became quiet, and August's face became more and more gloomy.

Although he was in charge of the company now, many people were loyal to his father Eliot in

various departments of the company. After he secured his position, he replaced some employees

and arranged some of his confidants. Unexpectedly, the man he had arranged in the Finance

Department suddenly had an accident today.

Besides, it happened right before he was discharged from the hospital and returned to the company

for at meeting. There was something wrong, It was not that simple.

Possibly it was Eliot, but more likely it was Bishop.

August frowned, put on his suit jacket, buttoned it up, and said coldly, "Let's go back to the

company.”

After recuperating in the hospital for a few days, his wounds had healed a bit. August decided to go

back to the company. He didn't even have time to go back to the villa and went straight to the

company for a return meeting. He had thought that Bishop would join the company in a relatively

low-key manner. But now it seemed that Bishop did the exact opposite.

The black Maybach was driving fast on the road. When it stopped downstairs in the company, the

people from the President's Office were already standing at the door ahead of time, waiting to greet

him.

In the distance, August saw the white figure standing at the front through the car window. Lucia was

wearing a white suit and her hair was rolled up, making her look more capable.

August glanced at her lightly, and then quickly looked away calmly. hen the car stopped, someone

came forward, opened the door quickly, and invited August to get out of the klar.

August got off the car with a big stride. The tailored black suit that fit him neatly didn't show a

single fold, and perfectly outlined his strong body.

Lucia, with her eyes down, glanced at him, and her heart trembled. She glanced at him again out of

the corner

of her eye.

he hadn't seen August for several days. She had done a good job of psychological construction in

her heart

these days. But when she saw him, she couldn't help but glance at him.

Lucia took a deep breath. When she saw August walking in this direction, she immediately bowed,

"Welcome

back, President Adams."

Other assistants also bowed down to welcome him. This was the way the President's Office had

thought of

velcoming him back.

August nodded slightly, and his eyes swept across Lucia's side face lightly. His voice was as cold as

ever, "Okay,

go back to the President's Office and continue working.”

With that, he walked quickly towards the elevator, and Burton quickly followed.

Lucia raised her eyes and mustered up the courage to look at his back. Then she said to Jasper

beside her, "Let's

go back to work."

Jasper was a little uneasy, “Lucia, I just saw that President Adams didn't look very unhappy. Is it

because of the

meeting that is going to be held later?”

The meeting was said to be held to welcome August's return to the company, but it was also to

officially.

announce Bishop as the company’s vice president. Bishop had been in the company for several

days, and all the

employees had been calling him "Vice President Adams".

Compared with the grim-faced August, Bishop was much gentler. As soon as he arrived at the

company, he

won the favor and trust of many people in the company.

But the people in the President's Office vaguely felt a little uneasy. The existence of Bishop was a

threat to

August.

Lucia also felt lineasy. She lowered her voice and said, "Okay, don't worry about it. Let's go to

prepare the

conference room first."

"Okay."

Back at the President's Office, Lucia immediately took Jasper to the large conference room on the

same floor to

prepare for the meeting to be held later.

As soon as the documents and coffee were prepared, the senior management came over.

Several shareholders and high-level executives took their seats and whispered to each other with

serious

faces.

"Don’t you see the chairman's intention? A great man cannot brook a rival. I'm afraid there will be a

good

show in the future.”

"What I'm not afraid of is the struggle for power and profit in the family business. It is inevitable for

us to

take a side. Who do you prefer?”

When Lucia delivered the laptops, she heard some discussions and felt a little strange.

She didn't know anything about fighting for power and profit. In her opinion, Bishop was not bad,

and he and

August probably wouldn't fight as they said...

Thinking like this, she found ten ininutes had passed before she knew it. Seeing that almost all of

the people

came, and even Bob pushed Bishop over, August was still nowhere to be seen. She was suddenly

anxious.

Seeing that it was time for the meeting, Lucia went to the door and looked in the direction of the

President's

Office, feeling more and more uneasy.

Jasper came out of the conference room and said anxiously. "Lucia, what should we do? The leaders

in the

conference room are asking where President Adams is..."

"Don’t worry. I'll go back to the President's Office to have a look" After comforting Jasper, Lucia

didn't dare to

delay and immediately walked towards the President's office

When she arrived at the door, she looked left and right but did not see Burton. She gritted her

teeth, walked

quickly to the office door, and knocked on the door, "President Adams, are you in there?

There was no sound inside. Lucia called again, but there was still no response.

Gritting her teeth, she took a deep breath and pressed the door handle directly to open the door.

She thought.

there was no one in the office. But when she saw the tall man standing in front of the window with

his back on

her, she was suddenly stunned for a moment.

Two seconds later, she gathered up her courage and stepped forward, "President Adams, everyone

is waiting

for you to go to the meeting.”

He didn't respond. After a few seconds, he said in a cold voice, "Come here."

Lucia's heart tightened and she stepped forward nervously.

Walking to the desk, she stopped, "President Adams, the meeting has started...”

"I know.” There was a bit of coldness in his voice, "As soon as I returned to the company, I received

a lot of

“good news. First, the man I arranged in the Finance Department had an accident. Then it was the

accounting

being censored. Well, what exactly does Bishop want to do?"

With that, he turned to look at her, and his eyes were bright and deep.

Lucia's heart trembled. She was a little surprised when she thought of Bishop who greeted others

gently in the

conference room just now.

She hadn't expected that Bishop would do so many things to hurt August. He looked innocent and

kind, but he

was secretly so ruthless.

"I don't know." Lucia took a deep breath and said, "President Adams, you should hurry up and get

to the

meeting..."

However, as soon as she said it, August stepped forward, approached her, and said word by word,

"Well, let me

tell you, he wants my current position."
