Chapter 15 You’re Fired

“Firstly, Southlake Corporation will operate as usual. The current organizational structure shall remain.

“Keep my identity a secret. Don’t let anyone else know who I am. I won’t come here often, so you have full authority to deal with company-related matters.”

“Alright, Mr. Lynch. I will not disappoint you.” Miranda didn’t expect Caspian to give her such authority on his first day. She was delighted.

He continued, “Secondly, our company will immediately cease all collaborations with the Stewart family.”

Miranda was stunned when she heard that. She asked curiously, “The Stewart family? Isn’t that your wife’s family, Mr. Lynch?”

“Yes.”

Π

“Sure. I’m on it.” Miranda was puzzled. Why would he cut off all collaborations with them?

However, her experience had taught her to follow instructions and never ask what she shouldn’t.

He asked, “Thirdly, does our project director have the surname Hudson?”

He planned to take action against Richard’s uncle.

But he was concerned he might mistake someone else for him. So, he had to ask.

“Yes, Mr. Lynch. Our project director is Wilson Hudson. He’s from the renowned Hudson family in Southlake City,” Miranda explained.

“Dismiss him from the company. At the same time, cancel all collaborations with the Hudson family, too. If he asks, tell him the following reasons.

“Firstly, he has signed an agreement with the Stewart family. Secondly, his nephew, Richard, has been too arrogant and offended someone he shouldn’t have.”

“Alright. I’ll work on it.” Miranda remembered his instructions.

“You may settle these three tasks first. Then, come back here. I have other tasks for you,” said Caspian.

“Sure, Mr. Lynch. I’ll take my leave now.” Miranda nodded respectfully before leaving the office.

Meanwhile, Richard and Alicia were in the project director’s office at Southlake Corporation.
