Chapter 114 - Sleepwalking

Things happened in the Britt Group.

Beverly was dressed like an office lady, walking into the hall with her head held high. The receptionist was new here, and had never seen Beverly before. She stopped Beverly and asked, "Excuse me, may I ask who you are looking for? Do you have an appointment?"

Beverly looked at her badge and said, "Linda, right? You're fired."

"Why?" The receptionist was dumbfounded.

"I'm Mr. Britt's wife. You can call me Mrs. Britt, or Ms. Beverly. Anyway. None of these matters." Beverly put on her sunglasses, "Because you are fired."

Tears rolled down Linda's cheeks. She just worked here for several days. When the general manager interviewed her, he praised her for having a friendly smile and being very suitable for this position. She was also very satisfied with her salary. Adding on the fact that the company was close to her rented apartment, she thought that she could settle down. However, she was fired just because she did not recognize the boss's wife. Those few days of work would definitely not count as her salary. Thinking about this, she cried out in grievance.

Maury didn't go home last night. Beverly cooked porridge and asked Susan to cook a lot of dishes, and packed them in food boxes and brought over. In the office, Maury had gotten up. He was calling the factory to confirm the progress. He then called the customer and promised that he would complete all the orders on time.

After hanging up, he didn't even have time to greet Beverly. The phone in his office rang. Maury was about to answer when he saw Beverly pick up the phone. Although she hadn't come to the company for a long time, she still remembered what she learned. It was the director of the marketing department called to ask when the new product would be shipped, because the customer waited to see the sample.

Beverly replied calmly, "Tell him that the sample that just came out has been took by other customers who booked it in advance. Tell him to wait for a moment."

In fact, the factory had just delivered the goods, but Maury did not say anything. From another perspective, what Beverly said would stimulate the customers' desire to buy, rather than repeatedly explaining that the goods were already on the way. If the customers were to be impatient, they might lose an order.

Beverly put down the phone and put the food box on the table. She opened the box and placed it on the table. Then, she poured out a bowl of soup and said to Maury, "Go wash your hands and have your meal."

Maury was exhausted. Since there was delicious food for him, he sat down immediately without washing his hands. He took a big sip of the soup and exhaled, "It's been a long time since I've eaten a good meal last time."

Beverly walked behind him and massaged his shoulders, "Don't be too tired. The whole family is still counting on you."

Maury enjoyed himself comfortably for a moment, and his disgust towards Beverly decreased. She was just a woman stay at home. It was unavoidable that she would be short-sighted and do something wrong. He should leave the past in the past.

After he finished, Beverly pushed Maury to the inner room to rest. "Go rest for a while. I'll take care of the rest."

Maury was still a little worried. He watched as Beverly answered the phone with ease. Then, the assistant came in with the list to check. She also looked carefully. There were some mistakes that Maury did not notice, but she picked them up.

Until noon, Maury finally couldn't hold on and went into the inner room to rest.

Beverly asked Susan to cook and send the dishes to the company. Then, she brought the food into the Finance Department and greeted the accountants and assistants here.

As soon as she went back to the CEO's Office, Maury asked her with a cold face, "What are you doing in the Finance Department?"

Beverly was stunned for a moment, and then she smiled and said, "Don't be so scary. Susan brought some fruits. I gave some to the employees, and I casually walked around and went in since there were employees. I didn't notice that I entered the Finance Department."

Maury saw bananas and apples on the tables of the marketing department through the surveillance cameras. His expression became better slightly, "Don't run around. A general manager's wife shouldn't go to the employees' office."

"What the company needs the most now is humanistic care. If you don't care about the employees, why would they want to work for you? Who would be so devoted to you and the company? Isn't it because of their affection for the company?" Beverly said reasonably and put the lunch on the table, "Take a break and go have your lunch."

Maury was pushed onto the sofa by her. Seeing that Beverly had taken over the work he was doing just now, he stood up and said, "Come and eat together."

Beverly l looked at the document, "No need, you eat first. I'll eat after you finish."

Maury looked at Beverly while eating. He suddenly remembered that he was attracted by Beverly's earnest work at that time. Now, after so many years, she didn't change at all. Once it came to work, she would work hard to complete it.

Beverly sensed his gaze and sneered in her heart.

From the morning till now, the documents she had saw did not contain the subsidiary agreement that the man wanted. This meant that Eliot had signed the agreement. The two parties had reached an agreement, and the contract immediately came into effect. There was no way they could change it anymore.

There was another weird thing.

Logically speaking, the company should go through a very difficult time, but instead of producing the goods according to the order quantity, the factory was working around the clock producing twice the quantity exceeding the order quantity.

Was someone else also wants the goods?

But why it was not reported in the account?

Just now, she went to the Finance Department and she hurriedly glanced at the Financial Controller's computer screen. She saw that there was a new remittance record on it. The remittance amount was relatively large, and it was sorted as income. The Financial Controller also marked it red and bold.

Because it was too conspicuous, Beverly noticed it at a glance. But she did not have time to look at the remitter. She only confirmed that the money belonged to the company's income, and immediately looked other side.

At this moment, she was staring at the new market research report, but her mind was distracted. That remittance amounted to 30 million yuan. The Britt Group never had such a large order.

Moreover, the factory did not add larger orders. What was the purpose of this remittance?

Beverly frowned and pondered. Maury looked at her from afar and felt even more relieved. He only felt that although Beverly treated Emily a little badly, she was still useful.

If Beverly knew what Maury was thinking about, she would probably laugh out loud.

After Maury finished his meal, he felt he was unusually sleepy. He fell asleep on the sofa in a daze. He was probably too tired, he thought.

Jaquan had only slept for three hours before he was woken up by the alarm clock. Although he really wanted to stay in bed, he still remembered that he had said yesterday afternoon that he would go back to the company.

He had to get up and went into the bathroom to wash up.

After wiping his face clean, he turned around and saw a person sitting on the toilet.

The two of them looked at each other for a moment. Jaquan remembered that there was a stranger at his home. He looked quickly away and said in panic, "Damn, are you a ghost? Why aren't you making a sound?"

Emma didn't want to explain. Seeing Jaquan enter with his eyes closed, she thought that he was sleepwalking and didn't dare to make a sound.

Jaquan walked out of the bathroom hurriedly, his heart still beating violently. He patted his chest and exhaled.. Gosh, it almost killed him just now.
