"Thank you for your wise advice, Mr. Hastings. However, I can be stubborn at times." Jacob grinned from ear to ear.
Charles merely flashed a smile and kept mum. He assumed that Jacob would get beaten up later. Right, you'll see what comes next!
Although he was utterly dissatisfied, Charles had no choice but to let Jacob keep his seat. He then helplessly sat down on the other side of Charles. Meagan, on the other hand, sat down next to Chase.
Meagan was so angry that she was staring fiercely at Jacob. If you weren't here, I'd be sitting there now. Then we could butter Mr. Hastings up so that Chase could be the manager of the procurement department. I can then be promoted to the manager of the sales department! I shouldn't have brought you into the company. You're such a nuisance!
