Chapter 47 The Company Rules Prohibit Bribery\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy rubbed his temples.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Skyla noticed. \u201cWhat\u2019s wrong?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s Bria.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She said, \u201cAh, no wonder you look annoyed. She\u2019s at that age. Be gentle with her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy sighed and typed with a bit more patience, Stop causing trouble. Do something productive. Don\u2019t spend every day fooling around. Control your temper. Did you forget what Grandpa said to you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bria\u2019s mouth twitched in anger. \u201cTroy, your fatherly tone is too much. Is this how older men lecture people?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat day at the old house when I set up Ayla, you knew exactly what I was doing. You covered for me too. I didn\u2019t even say anything bad about Skyla, and now you are being biased already? If I set up Skyla, would you call the police and have me arrested?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, I have a bad temper. Did I ever claim I had a good one? Even if it\u2019s bad, that\u2019s your fault. You spoiled me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I don\u2019t just mess around, alright? I make money from investments too. People think I\u2019m just some useless rich kid, but I\u2019m not actually stupid. Got it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Given the environment Bria grew up in, she was surrounded by all kinds of people with motives.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If she were even a bit naive, she would have been eaten alive.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy sighed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bria continued, \u201cAre you speechless? I\u2019m speechless too. Your words are either full of flaws or pure nonsense. I can\u2019t even be bothered to argue with you!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy didn\u2019t even know what to say.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had said one sentence, and Bria exploded on him for half a page.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clearly, she was venting on him instead of Ayla.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bria was genuinely upset now. \u201cTroy, you scolded me for Skyla. In the past, you would never scold me for anyone. If this continues, I\u2019m really going to complain.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
1\/3\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy decided to use his usual method. \u201cOne million\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bria was outraged. \u201cSeriously? You spend tens of millions on Skyla\u2019s dresses and jewelry, and you\u2019re stingy with your own sister? Are you still human?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy felt extremely irritated by her long block of text.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, it was unlike the irritation he felt toward Ayla.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With Bria, he allowed her to vent. There was indulgence behind his annoyance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With Ayla, it was pure indifference. Any extra trouble she caused was a burden.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHow much do you want?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bria replied, \u201c50 million.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFine.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI love you the most in the world, big bro! Kisses!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy rolled his eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla stayed up until two in the morning. She completed the modeling, packed the files, and emailed them to Halle.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She left a note. \u201cTheir model training is good, but the testing is too poor. I rebuilt the model. First, remove the data noise, then enhance the data. Follow this direction and introduce a new set of functions \u2026 \u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The next day, Friday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla barely got any sleep. However, she still got ready and arrived at work on time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
S\u00a0<\/p>\n
Around 11 a.m., Halle called. \u201cYou need to come to my office. You skipped too many steps. They can\u2019t understand it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla said, \u201cI already explained it in detail.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Halle felt the unintentional blow from a genius and groaned. \u201cThat\u2019s what you think, not what I think.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla paused. \u201cFine. I\u2019ll come.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
At the same time, Skyla left for ZeitTech.\u00a0<\/p>\n
2\/3\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla hung up and checked the time. 11 a.m.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was almost lunch break, and she had already handled her important work.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She decided to sneak out for a bit. Since she didn\u2019t apply for leave, she asked Sacha to keep an eye on things, then drove to the Global Finance Center.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Right after she left, Will came over with tasks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He told the finance manager to prepare a specific set of reports and send them to the CEO\u2019s office.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This instruction was meant for Ayla.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sacha said, \u201cShe went to the restroom because of stomach pain. I\u2019ll handle it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Will said, \u201cThis is her responsibility. I\u2019ll wait for her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sacha said, \u201cShe\u2019s only been gone for a moment. Don\u2019t delay the boss\u2019s work. Let me do it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Will looked at her and understood. He smiled. \u201cWhere did she go?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sacha thought, Ayla, I\u2019m not snitching on you. He\u2019s simply too good.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFine. Ayla\u2019s not in the office right now. She\u2019s usually very responsible and hasn\u2019t been late or left early once this entire year. She always applies for leave when necessary. So, Mr. Newton, maybe you can pretend you didn\u2019t notice?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Will said, \u201cThe company has strict management.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sacha handed him the iced Americano she hadn\u2019t touched yet and gave a playful blink. \u201cI heard you like this.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Everyone in the secretary department was sharp\u00a0<\/p>\n
Will kept his calm smile. \u201cThe company rules prohibit bribery\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sacha said, \u201cIt\u2019s just a cheap coffee. It doesn\u2019t count, Mr. Newton.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
=\u00a0<\/p>\n
