Ch 27 – The Traitor
"You don't follow my orders yet. Do you not want to keep your job?" Jason glanced at Susan and spoke.
Susan trembled like a rat being preyed on by a cat, dashing out of the office.
"Now, how should I punish you all for your offense?" Jason rubbed his chin and muttered.
Bella looked pale as she shivered. She had spent huge efforts to achieve her current position and she really didn't want to lose her job.
Jason saw their expressions and grinned. "Let's play a game. If you guys will be obedient, then I'll forgive this mistake. But if you... then I'll make sure that you'll never be able to enter any company."
'What?!'
All the colors left their faces as their strength left their bodies, falling to their knees. They were all aware that the man in front had the power to make it true.
"Do you get that?" Jason narrowed his eyes and spoke.
The girls shivered and nodded their heads, frightened by the change in his behavior.
Jason nodded his head and waited until Susan returned.
After she was back, he signaled her to join the others.
"Now then, tell me who among you is leaking the information about our products to others?"
Bella and others were taken aback by his question, looking at each other.
Jason chuckled and took out a gun, placing it on the table.
The girls were frightened by the gun, shaking their heads.
Jason narrowed his eyes dangerously before shrugging his shoulders.
"Anyone in the company you find suspicious. Think carefully before giving your reply."
'This...'
Bella and others carefully looked at his expression and thought hard.
Shelly, the only one who had a boyfriend thought of something and raised her hand.
"What is it?"
"Actually... the HR manager Bob is a little suspicious."
"Oh... Why is that?" Jason raised his eyebrow at her, playing with the gun.
"Last month he bought a very expensive mansion and a car. Even though the salary is good, it's not enough to afford that." Shelly replied truthfully.
"Then why don't you report it to anyone?"
Shelly shook her head. "I can't. He is the cousin of the CEO. Last time, someone complained about him harassing the girls. In the end, that girl was framed for being a thief and handed to the police."
At her words, Jason's eyes dangerously narrowed, killing intent flashing in his pupils.
"Why didn't anyone tell me?"
Bella stopped Shelly and spoke. "The CEO must have intercepted the news."
"Is she still in police custody?"
Bella nodded her head.
'Rin, call the best lawyer in the States and make sure she will be out as soon as possible.'
[On it, Master.]
Jason sighed and rubbed his forehead. "It's because of my negligence."
Standing up, he walked over to the door but he then paused and asked with an alluring smile.
"Before I leave, tell me do you guys like what you see?"
"Y-Yes..." Bella and others nodded their heads.
"Wait here. I'll be back soon." Jason smiled and went out, his face cold.
Jason took the elevator and directly went to the floor second from the top.
Inside the elevator, he dialed a number and asked the person on the other side to gather all information on Steve, the director in charge of this branch, and Bob, the HR manager. He also asked that person to come to Paradise with that information.
Arriving at the 24th floor, he left the elevator and walked down a luxurious hallway filled with riches.
Soon enough he reached the office with the tag 'CEO'.
As he pushed through two doors, he saw a middle-aged man sitting on the chair behind the desk, playing with a beautiful woman dressed in a revealing business suit.
"Who dares to disturb me, I'll kill your whole family." The middle-aged man barked, feeling enraged for someone disturbing his fun. Without looking ahead, he shouted pushing his head into the woman's bosom who had a sad and defeated expression on her face.
Jason chuckled, amused. "Oh, it seems you've grown a backbone in this past year."
"Who- Chair... Chairman?" The middle-aged man was startled and unhappily raised his head, only to receive the shock of his life. At the door stood a young man who was familiar yet unfamiliar at the same time.
He had only met him twice but he was one of the people who could scare the hell out of him. He pushed aside the beautiful woman abruptly, jumping to his feet.
"W-What brings you here? You didn't inform me?"
"So, now I have to inform you if I have to come here. I see." Jason smiled.
But the smile reflected like a sharp blade placed on the middle-aged man as he wiped his sweat with the sleeve of his coat.
"N-No... I'm Sorry..."
Jason patted his shoulder and slumped down on the chair.
"You sure know how to enjoy yourself." Casting a glance at the young woman who was watching everything with a frightened expression and said to Steve.
"I... I..." The middle-aged man wiped his sweat again, shivering in fright.
"Steve... How long have you been working here?"
Steve stepped forward and slightly bowed his head before answering.
"5... 5 years, Sir."
Jason nodded his head, his eyes cold. "And yet you dare to fiddle with the company's funds to gamble."
Steve's pupils shrank and his body shivered slightly as he took a step back in fear.
Jason's smile turned cold as he stared at emotionlessly, akin to looking at a dead person. "Tell me Steve, who helps you when you're in debt and gives you a chance?"
"P-Please forgive me! I didn't want to do it! I swear! Please spare me!" Steve instantly fell to his knees, begging. Tears rolled down his face, wetting the floor.
"You! What is your name? At what position do you work?" Jason turned his attention to the young woman and asked.
"M-Me?" The girl jumped up in shock. "M-My name is... A-Alice. I work in the finance department."
"Do you always seduce your superiors like this?" Jason asked coldly.
The young man shook her head, tears rolling down. "N-No. My mom is seriously ill and needs money urgently for her treatment. I ask the director for the money but then he... he..."
Jason sighed and waved his hand. "Alright. Are you familiar with Bob?"
"The HR manager? Y-Yes. He sometimes takes advantage of me." The girl replied, crying.
Jason pointed to the phone on the table and spoke. "Call him to the office."
Alice nodded her head and dialed a number.
