Alice closed her eyes, hugged her son tightly and prayed silently in her heart.
“Kennedy, we have a very well behaved and sweet son, he is smart and cute, how can you leave me and your son? Please come back soon, we are waiting for you.”
Time flew by and soon a month had passed.
The company was still running as before. But in the wake of Kennedy’s accident, many partners felt that the Moore Group had lost its future and wanted to withdraw their previous collaboration, and there were even some brand owners who wanted to break their contracts.
However, all these things were resolved by Alice herself.
Of course, Alice’s brother Zain was always by her side, and Megan also helped her with a lot of work, as did Nathan, who helped her while she was recovering from her injuries. Thanks to these people, everything was back to normal.
Alice’s design company was left entirely in Yanis’ hands, as Alice did not have the energy to take care of so many things.
When Yanis was free, he would come in from time to time to help Alice with her things. Right now, for example, Yanis was in the office ordering information for Alice, and while she was doing her things.
-Shall we go to the canteen and eat together? -he asked her.
-Yes, that’s fine,” Alice nodded.
The food in the Moore Group canteen was clean and hygienic, and Alice had been eating in the company canteen since she had arrived at the company to take care of her work.
-Actually the food at the Moore Group canteen is quite good, it is time to eat, let’s go there first, there are less people now, we will come back and deal with these documents when we are done – Yanis nodded.
Alice glanced at the time and thought Yanis was right, so she gathered the things she had on hand and left the office with Yanis.
Alice never used her privileges, so she joined Yanis in the queue.
The two had just reached the end of the queue when they overheard a conversation between two female employees ahead of them.
-What, our Moore group has been under that woman’s control ever since? Why hasn’t Mr. Kennedy returned after all this time?
Hearing this, Alice frowned, and behind her Yanis was about to go to reason with the two girls, but stopped her.
-What are you saying is nonsense? It’s been over a month, and if Mr. Kennedy could have come back, he would have done so long ago.
-What do you mean?
-Do you think it’s common for planes to crash? The chances of surviving a crash are very slim, and not everyone is that lucky.
-But the search and rescue team never found Mr. Kennedy’s body?
-Yes, although the search and rescue teams have not found his body, he is not on the list of survivors either. It is too difficult to conduct a rescue in an endless sea, and I have heard from inside sources that, apart from the survivors and the bodies that have been recovered, there are many more people missing, and Mr. Kennedy is one of them.
The clerk covered her mouth in surprise at what she said.
-I can’t believe that so many people are missing, it seems that Mr. Kennedy is really unlucky.
-In the future, our Moore group is probably controlled by that woman from the Nelson family, don’t think of her as a young woman, but she has a lot of tricks up her sleeve. I learned that Mr. Kennedy’s older brother wanted to take over the presidency temporarily at that time, but this woman disagreed, saying that she was Mr. Kennedy’s wife and therefore had the authority to take Kennedy’s place. I believe this woman married Mr. Kennedy for his fortune from the beginning. after Kennedy’s death, she was not sad at all, in fact she came to the company first and grabbed the position.
-It can’t be, can it? With her looks, she shouldn’t be this kind of person.
-How is that impossible? You’re still too naive, I’ve seen many women like that.
Yanis, who was standing behind Alice, could not help but hear these words; just now Alice had stopped her, otherwise she would have rushed to argue with the two female employees.
-What kind of women have you seen a lot of? -now Yanis scolded her directly.
Naomi’s sudden question interrupted the discussion between the two employees. The woman who had just spoken ill of Alice turned her head back just in time to see Alice’s exquisitely beautiful, if cold, face. Behind Alice was Yanis, who was now glaring at her with a fierce look.
Am I wrong in saying that Mr. Kennedy is not coming back and that she has become the vice-president of our group, in charge of everything and bringing people like you into the company? -The employee realized that she had been overheard by Alice and the girls, so she stopped hiding and defended herself, -I know that the Nelson Group has been restricted by the Moore Group and you are trying to short our business and finally bring the Moore Group under the Nelson Group, right?
Yanis looked at her with wide eyes and disbelief.
-How can you say such things?
She was so angry that she wanted to rush in and fight with the employee.
Alice pulled her back, then looked at the clerk and smiled slightly.
-Excuse me, who told you Kennedy wouldn’t be back?
The clerk froze, not realizing that Alice was worried about Mr. Kennedy.
-You were right. Kennedy is not among the survivors, but the search and rescue teams haven’t found his body either. Do you know what the concept of missing is? Missing is not being able to determine anything, and aren’t you misinforming yourself by saying so firmly that he’s not coming back?
-Well, I…
-Moore Group needs competent personnel, not people who curse their superiors,” Alice looked away and spoke calmly. Please go back and get your things and leave Moore Group immediately.
The employee’s eyes widened at these words, “Would you like to fire me?
Her voice was so loud that it immediately attracted the attention of everyone around her. It was then that everyone realized that Alice was here, but no one dared to approach to ask, so they all watched the scene in silence.
Alice looked down at the time on her wristwatch.
-Yes, the time is now around 11:10, if I see you still in the office at 11:30 I will tell security that you are trespassing at Moore Group.
-You! -The employee was now very angry, -My uncle owns shares in the Moore Group, he is one of the shareholders, you can’t fire me!
-Alice smiled slightly, “Who is your uncle?
-My uncle is…” The employee was about to say her uncle’s name when the girl next to her hurried to pull her back and then bowed her head to apologize to Alice.
-I’m sorry, I’m really sorry, my friend didn’t think things through, I didn’t mean to antagonize you and Mr. Kennedy. We usually take our work very seriously and only talk about things other than work over dinner. We are willing to admit our mistake and correct it, so please give us another chance.
Alice looked at her, she remembered that girl had once defended her.
She said she didn’t think Alice was like that.
Although the girl had only given explanations for her, Alice still had a good impression of this girl. After all, there were too many people in this company who hated her.
-Since your friend interceded on your behalf, I will pretend today’s incident didn’t happen, but if in the future anyone else goes around talking about Mr. Kennedy in this company, I will take punitive action.
Alice could allow company employees to speak ill of her, but she could not accept people saying that Kennedy was dead.
She definitely wouldn’t allow it!!!!
