The director lied just like that.
Rachel was stunned upon hearing her words. She stared at the director in shock. "I didn't know about it before. You didn't tell me."
"I didn't?" The director's face darkened. She snorted, "Are you trying to say that it was my fault? I have actually noticed that you're always absentminded these past two days. I don't know what's going on with you, but your work has always been in a mess. Possibly, you have forgotten that I told you about it."
Rachel didn't expect that she would be in such big trouble. After all, she was only told to attend the meeting on behalf of the director. Now that she was relaying everything that happened during the meeting, the director made her a scapegoat.
She was at a loss. Looking at the director's vexed face, she thought that she should be the one to feel aggrieved and angry.
The director picked up the document from the table and threw it to the floor. She then said coldly, "Why are you still standing here? Go and modify this list immediately. Then I'll go with you when you report to the executive. I have to speak for you so he won't get angry."
This time, it seemed that the director was concerned for her.
Rachel's mouth twitched. It was not her fault. Even if the director put a knife on her neck, she would never admit it.
If she picked up the document on the floor now and followed the director's order, it would only mean t
alf of others.
Since she had nothing else to do in her office and got bored, she came out of the hospital. She sat down on a stone bench in the garden. At first, she browsed her phone. Later on, she dialed Austin's number.
As soon as Austin came out of the meeting room, the secretary rushed to him. With a phone in her hand, she said, "Austin, your mobile phone has been ringing for a long time now. Maybe it's an important call."
"Thank you."
Austin took the phone and checked the caller. When he saw the name on the screen, he suddenly felt that his throat dried up. He even wanted to call the secretary and tell her to bring the phone back to his desk.
However, he couldn't be such an ostrich when it had something to do with Jack.
After hesitating for a while, he walked to a quieter place and answered the phone. "Miss Shen, what can I do for you?"
Rachel said, "Austin, I have something to ask you."
"What is it?"
Rachel pursed her lips. She hesitated for a moment. "Where is Jack now? Why is he not answering my call?"
"Mr. Fu..." Austin paused for a short while before he continued, "Something happened in the branch outside the city, so he went there to deal with it. It may take a long time for him to come back."
'He's on a business trip?' Rachel thought inwardly.
She then said with a frown, "Even if he is on a business trip, he can still have time to answer his phone, right?"
