Chapter 177 - Mole in the company

Seeing Mia run out of the company with tears in her eyes, the two receptionists were baffled. When she had come inside, they had been reluctant to send her up as she had not fixed an appointment and had come unannounced. Also, she had not asked them to enquire if their Boss was free and was willing to meet her. She had haughtily announced that she wanted to meet their Boss.

The receptionists had tried to stop her. But, she had declared that she was Noah's friend and he had allowed her access to his cabin. The two women had assumed her to have had an ambiguous relationship with their Boss. So they had allowed her to go without following the company protocols. But who knew that Mia would come out with tears in her eyes.​​

Barely a few minutes had passed when they got a call from the HR department that they had been fired and they could collect their salaries for the month. Their world had been turned upside down in a matter of a few seconds. Though they wanted to grovel and beg for forgiveness, nobody would listen to them. So, they had no choice but to pack up their bags and leave the company.

Mia sat in her car and wiped her tears. She made a call to her father immediately. "Dad." She wailed as soon as the call connected.

"What happened Mia?"

"Noah did not even spare me a glance and humiliated me in front of his employees." She complained.

"Mia, I had warned you beforehand not to cause any more trouble. You silly child. No man likes it if the woman keeps clinging to him. You need to have some self-respect. You need to appear bold and strong. Surprise him, take him off guard. Men like challenges. They do not like easy women. So, don't try to throw yourself at him."

"But Dad.."

"Listen to me, Mia. Take it slow. We know that he does not have a girlfriend yet. So, you have all the time in the world. Now that you are going to start working in his company, you will get more opportunities to be with him. So don't worry. Just follow the plan."

"Yes, Dad." Mia was consoled by the fact that she would get a lot of opportunities in the future. So, she stopped lamenting. "Okay, Dad. I'll do as you say. I won't let you down."

"Good girl. I know I can trust you."

"Okay, Dad. See you later."

Mia had joined Noah's company. After she had been humiliated by Noah, she had gone to complain about it to her father. He had then given her an idea to join Noah's company so that she would get an opportunity to learn as well as get close to him. Following his instructions, she had applied to his company and had hoped that Noah would not be present during the selection. She knew the chances of her getting selected were nil if that happened.

To her dismay, Noah had come to attend the interview. However, this did not go for long. He had left the interview halfway when he had received a call. At that time, Mia was yet to give her interview. With a lot of effort, she had made it and had got selected.

"Let's see how are going to avoid me, Noah," Mia said with an infatuated gaze.

On the other hand, Mia's father sighed loudly. The man in front of him had been staring at him the whole time he was speaking to his daughter. "Mr. Augustus, I apologize for the interruption."

"Was that your daughter?"

"Yes. I have ordered her to do as you have said. She has joined Carter Enterprises."

"Good. I did not expect any other outcome."

"Mr. Augustus, why do you want my daughter to work in Noah's company when she has her own company?"

Jared gave him a mysterious smile. "Mr. Stevenson, I knew long back that your daughter has a thing or two for Noah. So, I am only thinking about helping her. I am a magnanimous person. Also, I am helping you. Imagine if Noah becomes your son-in-law. How much profits can you reap with this outcome!"

As expected, Mr. Stevenson got swayed by his words and immediately agreed to do as he was told. He had no idea that he was being used for Jared's benefit and when the time came, he would just cast him aside like garbage.

Jared had got what he wanted. He had implanted a mole in Noah's company. Though he could have asked his men to do it, he knew Noah was keeping tabs on him and it would be easy for him to find out about it. So, he had used another method. He had approached somebody unimaginable for help. Nobody would trace it to him when the time came and all the blame would fall on Stevenson and his fool of a daughter.

Jared smirked thinking how good his plan was going. On one hand, he was trying to woo Rachel. On the other, he was making someone to woo Noah. If everything turns out the way he wanted, then nobody could stop him. 'Noah, just a few more days. Then nobody can beat me.'

"About the resort deal..."

"Don't worry Mr. Stevenson. If Noah is not going to sponsor for it, I am going to do it. I don't know why he is not interested in such a good deal. But not to worry. I am here." Jared assured him much to his relief.

Since the day Noah had rejected to deal with his company, Mr. Stevenson was having trouble finding reliable investors. Jared came to give him a helping hand and he had no issues with it if he got the money. However, he had to fulfill some of his conditions before he got his hand on the money. Mr. Stevenson being the greedy one agreed to it without even thinking. He did not even know that he was digging his own grave. Going against Noah was nothing less than inviting his death. He had no idea that his doom was waiting for him.
