Before they could react, an announcement from the president appeared on the forum. There were
three announcements.
The first was that the Crossley Group would not be bought out by the Pearson Group. Secondly, the
Crossley Group would slowly recover and everyone should do their jobs as assigned to them. Thirdly,
all owed salaries had been paid out. The extra thousand was a symbol of thanks for not leaving and
staying on with the company. While it wasn’t much, it was still a heartfelt gesture.
The people who had been criticizing Leanna immediately became silent. Everyone had waited far too
long for their salary and many thought that she was merely here to keep up appearances. No one
would have guessed that she would immediately resolve the most pressing issue on everyone’s minds
on her very first day.
However, some people felt that there was no chance of the Crossley Group recovering, and they chose
to quit. Many had already left after the Leroy Crossley affair. Coupled with the fiasco from today, it had
reduced the number of employees in the company to nearly half. As a result, the entire office building
seemed deserted and quiet.
Leanna was deep in thought as she looked down at the street from the window of her office when
Freddie’s voice came from behind her. “Do you regret it?”
She shook her head. “All those who left already made their intentions clear. None of them are focused
on their work anymore and it’s best to find someplace more suitable rather than wasting their time here.
However, those who chose to stay for any reason also put a lot of effort into their work.”
Everyone knew that now was the best time to leave since those who planned to waste their time here
couldn’t do so any longer. That was why those left in the company would be much more hardworking
and focused. The survival of the Crossley Group would depend on them and they would have to try
their best.
Freddie commented, “I’ve already read the details of the projects and will soon discuss what needs to
be taken care of with them individually. But do you trust them that much? Do you know what you will
face if they betray you?”
She looked away and turned to him. “I’ve got some idea of that.”
“Well, why did you assign such an important task to them?”
“I don’t have any other candidates to choose from,” she answered. “Besides, there’s no one else more
suited to the job.”
Freddie frowned. He already knew that the whole mess that was the Crossley Group would be hard to
clear up and this only proved it.
She continued, “Besides, they aren’t helping me. They’re doing it for themselves.”
“Why do you say that?”
“They’ve already been the scapegoat for the Crossley Group before and ended up with crimes which
they didn’t commit. This made them blacklisted within the business circle and they couldn’t find any
other related jobs. Some have even become bankrupt and burdened their families, resulting in extreme
humiliation. For them, money may not be that important compared to clearing their names.”
Leanna went on, “When all this is over and the truth comes out, they will be considered outstanding in
their field and they will not be treated badly no matter if they choose to stay at the Crossley Group or go
to another company. They will do their best if only for their future careers.”
Freddie agreed with Leanna. The one who had eventually decided to let them take the blame was
Leroy, but Jimmy and the others weren’t exactly innocent in all this. The employees had already
experienced how cruel society was and they were sure what was most advantageous and right for
them. Besides, Freddie had already read their files. All of them were extremely capable but had some
disagreements with Jimmy in the workplace, so he would always hinder them. If Freddie’s guess was
right, Jimmy had also suggested the idea of making those employees the scapegoat for Leroy to
remove any dissenters. This was good since they would channel that dislike for Jimmy into the work
they would be doing for Leanna.
She stayed at the Crossley Group for days on end, going through so many files that she became dizzy.
The moment she arrived home, she would lie on the bed without any desire to move while Aidan would
hug her waist. ‘Why are you busier than me?”
Then, she closed her eyes. “Are you belittling me? I’m managing a large company, after all.”
“Fine. it’s the weekend tomorrow, so shall we go on a date?”
“Nope.”
“Even if you don’t rest, won’t you let the employees take a break?”
“I want to take a look at the studio. It’s been a while since I last went.”
He licked his lips and murmured, “I’ll wait for you.”
She didn’t reply, answering only with steady breaths instead. Leanna had fallen asleep and Aidan didn’t
know whether to be angry or amused by her. Eventually, he kissed her brow gently.
…
Since she didn’t have to go to the Crossley Group today, Leanna slept two hours longer than usual and
only rose at 10.00AM. She sat up and stretched comfortably; sleeping in felt so good. She pulled open
the curtains and walked blearily out of her bedroom. Just as the door opened, the smell of smoke
rushed in. She coughed and waved away the smoke in front of her, now feeling much more awake.
When she moved closer, Aidan emerged from the kitchen with a dark expression, his expensive white
dress shirt now stained gray.
Leanna was speechless upon seeing that. “Are you blasting our kitchen apart?”
He looked at her expressionlessly. “What do you want to eat? I’ll get Jonathan to send it over.”
“Well… let’s not. Let him take a break for the weekend. I’ll see entered the kitchen to switch on the
ventilator and open the windows. Soon, things went back to normal.
Leanna couldn’t help but look at the source of the smoke which lay in the sink. The bottom of the pan
was burned through and there was a black mass on a plate. She could make out some broken
eggshells within, though.
Is that supposed to be egg custard? It’s much too complicated for him.
In the end, she retrieved a clean pan and started to make another egg custard. She put the pan on the
stove to cook while she cleaned the kitchen. When she was done, Aidan had just come out of the
bathroom, water dripping from his dark hair.
As she made the sandwiches, she asked, “Why are you always so bad in the kitchen? Has it troubled
you?”
“I strictly followed the steps, so why did I fail?”
“It didn’t tell you to put water in the pan when you cooked the eggs, right?”
He looked at her blankly. “I did.”
She turned and smiled at him. “How much?”
Aidan knew he had lost and fell silent. Leanna then added, “I’ve already told you that you don’t have to
cook. I can do it.”
‘You’ve been tired for the past few days. I just wanted you to have breakfast as soon as you woke up.”
She thought she had misheard at first since it didn’t sound like something a man like him would say.
He felt infuriated by her look of surprise. “Fine. It’s your loss for not getting to eat any of my cooking.”
She had nothing to say to that. Well, then.
