Chapter 356 Conspiracy (2) Trouble
Charles flirted with Sandra for a while on the phone. After hanging up, a sinister gleam flashed into his
eyes. He thought every woman in the world was at his mercy, except Hannah. And one day, she would
succumb to his domination, too. She would be tortured by him to the living death.
...
A week passed.
Hannah was sitting in the conference room having a meeting.
“We cannot afford to fail in the project of South Bay.” Without saying anything superfluous words,
Hannah came straight to the point, “There is still a month to the bid. This month, I’ll form a special team
of 20 people from the employees in our company. Team members need to put everything on hold and
devote themselves to this project, until the end of it.”
The people in the conference room were all the top executives of the departments, but they were
overwhelmed by Hannah’s strong power even if they had been working here for years.
“I spent a week drawing up the member list of the special team. They are all picked from the
departments you managing. Now I’m gonna release the list and hope you can ensure a smooth
handoff. I need them to come to me in person at ten tomorrow morning.” Hannah said, and she was
announcing the member list without any delay, “The sales department: Mila, Wang, Mann...”
As she read the names on the list one by one, all the executives noted down the employees under their
departments.
“Does anyone have any opinion on this list?” Hannah asked.
No one said anything. They almost bowed at her every word obediently to her arrangements.
To save everyone some time, she wanted to end the meeting,” So, I hope all of you can arrange it well.
Dismissed.” This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
“I have an opinion.” Wayne spoke abruptly.
Hannah was always clear about how to behave herself in public, so she said, “Mr Cooper, go ahead,
please.”
“You’ve drafted three employees in the public relations department. And I want to replace one of them.”
“OK. But I need a reason.”
“I want to work with you personally.”
Hannah’s forehead creased for a moment for she felt a little surprised that Wayne would say something
like that.
“I want to replace one of the employees in my department and be a member of your 20-employee
special team. I admit that I’ve not contributed much to the company since I worked here. I’m willing to
learn more from you so that I can be the department executive officially and reasonably at least. Not
because I’m a part of the Cooper family.”
What he said was just brilliant. That put Hannah into a trying situation where she could not simply reject
his suggestion for she would be gossiped about if she could not give reasonable grounds. There was a
rumor in the Group that Hannah intended to push all Roger Cooper’s offspring out of the company
since he was sentenced to prison.
Therefore, she couldn’t refuse his request and agreed immediately, “I also hope that our family can
really run the company successfully.”
“Agree.” Hannah looked confident.
“If there is nothing else, the meeting will break up.” Hannah stood up and left the conference room first.
Then the others also successively left the room.
Following the leaving crowd, Wayne rushed back to his office with a sneer on his face. He shut his
office door and dialed a number.
The call got through fast, “How’s it going?”
“I made it.” Wayne was very excited, “I did what you said. There was no way she would turn me down
in front of all the executives, so she just accepted my request.”
“Good. Once you’re in the special team, we can know what’s going on within it.” Charles laughed evilly.
Charles had thought it over that he had to start by infiltrating into Cooper Group if he wanted to get the
South Bay project. He had to acknowledge Hannah’s abilities, coupled with the fact that Cooper Group
was an iconic company in the construction sector. It would be an impossible mission for Sawyer Group
to get this project. But it would be a piece of cake if he got an inside man in Cooper Group to win the
game.
Yet he still felt a little depressed because if Hannah had married him, he wouldn’t have had to put so
much effort into this project. Hannah would have given him everything he wanted! And the engagement
broken off by Hannah would be the darkest shadow of his life, which could only be ended with
Hannah’s death. He tried to suppress his emotions and forced himself to think calmly. Then he thought
of using Wayne to get what he wanted.
Now Roger was in prison, and Jane Cooper was dead. Even if there was some bad blood between
them, he could buy Wayne off with simple tricks, for example, the temptation of a woman. Then he
thought of Sandra immediately. After having sex with Sandra that night, he told his plan to her. He knew
that Sandra wouldn’t agree with his plan in the beginning. But she was greedy. As long as he gave her
enough interests, she would compromise in the end. He promised her that if he won the South Bay
project this time, he would take all the credit for her and help her become the general manager of the
sales department of Sawyer Group. So she agreed with his plan and it only took her three days to
handle Wayne.
As expected, Wayne was useless without Roger’s help, although Roger would never come to anything,
either, in Charles’s eyes. Otherwise, he would not have been caught in Hannah’s trap.
But Charles could use Wayne at present, at least for it would never occurred to Hannah that Wayne
would be obedient to him. And he wanted to see Hannah’s look when he won the South Bay project.
The awful sadness on her face would give him the best exaltation ever, he supposed.
...
After returning to the office, Hannah was sitting in her office chair and was somehow quiet.
Rose placed a cup of black coffee on the desk in front of her and turned away.
“Rose,” Hannah called her abruptly.
“Yes?”
“What do you think of Wayne’s sudden positive attitude yesterday?” Hannah asked.
Rose thought for a second and said, “He must be up to no good.”
Hannah agreed with her opinion.
“Alright, you can leave now.”
“OK.” Rose said and left the office.
Taking a sip of coffee, Hannah slowly picked up the phone and dialed a number.
“Hannah?” There was slight uncertainty in the voice from the other side.
“Theodore, it’s me.”
“Don’t tell me you can’t stand the loneliness once Oscar’s gone?” queried Theodore.
Hannah was kind of speechless,
“I got a favor to ask.”
“I’m busy.”
“It means a lot to me.” Hannah was serious.
“What happened?” Theodore compromised immediately.
“Theodore, I need you to keep an eye on this guy.”
“He’s still stirring up trouble?”
Obviously, Theodore had never paid the slightest attention to Wayne.
