Chapter 808 Being Scolded Again

The elevator arrived at the conference room. At the door, two of Susan's secretaries waited outside. Since the meeting had already begun, the secretary had nothing else to do, so they just stood there chatting "The cake this morning was the most delicious I've ever eaten in my life. It was sweet but not greasy. I can't recall it without feeling so happy."

"Of course. Did you know that cake was the president's cake? I heard it was made by a three-star Michelin chef."

"Why didn't Ms Phillips eat it?" The secretary asked.

"I don't know." The other secretary said, "But thanks to that, we could taste such a good cake."

"I mean don't you think the relationship between them..."

"Shh. Do you want to get fired? Gossiping about the boss."

"No, I just think the president and Miss Phillips were always a good match. Not to mention that he sent her delicious cakes, clearly Miss Phillips is not very good at her job but he still appointed her as a manager. He helped her with all those work in private and told us not to tell her..." The secretary gasped for breath and concluded, "I think the president must still like Miss Phillips."

"So do I."

Sometimes they would forget the people they talked about were the top two in their company.

"But Miss Phillips seems to have little interest in the president. Didn't they get married before? I heard it was Ms Phillips who tried desperately to get divorced. The president is said to have been devastated. He was hurt but he still cares for her. He is a good man. I was moved."

"So what?" one of them couldn't help teasing, "Mr president won't like you. I mean although Miss Phillips sometimes was rash, she was really pretty and has such a good figure. I would like her as well if I were a guy."

"Are you saying that Mr president is attracted to her appearance?"

"All men search for beauty."

The two of them talked excitedly until they saw Manuel suddenly appear in front of them. Both faces were suddenly white with fear, and the smiles on their lips froze. They were lost for words in shock. Manuel walked past them with a chill. The two secretaries looked at each other. That was it. Just pack up and go!

Susan was checking the work in the conference room. The door opened, and Manuel walked in with two secretaries. Susan took a look and found that Clara also followed him.

She was quite unpleasant.

Was it just that hard to part?

Then she turned her eyes and continued, "Mr Stephenson, the project we talked about last week seems to be having no progress."

"It was because the boss of them was away on business and I had made appointments many times. Progress will be made this week." Matt Stephenson quickly replied.

"All right." Susan nodded, "We had talked about this project from the beginning of the year, but there has been no great progress. You need to work harder."

"Yes, I will."

Susan was going to talk about the next project when Manuel directly interrupted her, "If my memory serves me right, when I was the general manager, I had asked you to deal with it. After such a long time, why is there no progress in this project?"

His words were distinctly harsher.

Susan felt it was quite strange.

Matt looked at Manuel and explained nervously, "Because the person in charge of this project has been on a business trip. It was very difficult for us to make an appointment. We've talked about it once or twice, but it's just been superficial, so we've been holding off, and we're trying to figure out how to get it done."

"Is that the real reason?" Manuel asked him coldly.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Susan looked at Manuel. He had never been this tough before. She was afraid to speak.

"We can't meet with Rex Buckley, who is in charge of this project," Matt said nervously. "And others have no right to make the decision. We're out of options."

"Are you sure he has been away all this time? Last Friday I saw that he posted on moments about attending his daughter's graduation ceremony in Kensbury City." Manuel said bluntly.

His words made Matt's face red, "He did not come back until Friday. And he has to attend his daughter's graduation ceremony on Friday so they didn't agree to our appointment." "They didn't agree or you didn't try to make it at all?"

Matt was speechless.

"Mr Stephenson, please answer my question." Manuel was pushing him.

"I didn't talk to them. Because I didn't want to bother him. He just came back and his daughter's graduation ceremony was so important." Matt was defending himself.

"So you think our project isn't important?" Manuel raised his eyebrows. His words made people think of him as an unreasonable person.

Susan could not just sit there and watch.

"I'm sure Mr Stephenson has his thoughts. Sometimes being too aggressive is frowned upon and not conducive to collaboration."

"No. It just makes them think this project is not that important to us." Manuel issued a conclusion.

"I don't think so..."

"That's why you haven't seen Rex Buckley for months." Manuel hit the nail on the head.

Susan bit her lips. She was shocked by his tough attitude.

"Because they don't feel your urgency, there would be countless reasons why you can't meet. I want to see clear progress on this project within this week!"

"Rex Buckley has left Kensbury City this week. I asked them about his schedule, and he won't be back until at least next Wednesday." Matt said.

"So what you just promised to Miss Phillips about having progress this week is just being perfunctory and even deceptive?" Manuel scolded him. Matt was quite embarrassed.

He was just being perfunctory. He looked down on Susan and did not take her words seriously. He was always doing the bare minimum to get by and kept putting it off. And it was really easy to fob her off. "I..." Matt was speechless for a moment.

"Miss Phillips," Manuel looked at her with a sullen face, "I hope you can be strict in our work. Not just to yourself, but to your subordinates, which is being responsible for the company."
