Chapter 29
“He's fine?” Kayden muttered under his breath in disbelief upon seeing Harold's return.
Not only was Harold fine, but he also seemed energetic and in a good mood.
The result was the complete opposite of what they had expected.
Brittany and her other colleagues were also shocked, but that was not the most surprising part.
The moment Harold returned to his seat, Gary also returned to the project management department.
However, the latter covered his face with his hand the entire time as he dashed back to the supervisor's office.
Brittany and Kayden shared a look of confusion, as they had expected Harold to be in a pathetic state.
Yet, instead of Harold, Gary was the one humiliated.
The two immediately followed behind Gary, but they had just reached the supervisor's office when Gary walked out with a box of his personal belongings and plopped down on a seat in the project management department's common working space.
Everyone was dumbstruck again.
Besides, the left side of Gary's usually handsome face was red and swollen. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Mr. Gibson, what happened to your face?” Kayden tentatively asked.
Covering his face, Gary howled, “Why are you so annoying? Can't you tell I have been demoted?”
The already embarrassed Gary was humiliated even more by Kayden's question.
“Demoted?”
Gary's answer dropped on everyone in the office like a bomb, and all their jaws dropped.
Before they could understand what was happening, Steven also walked over, carrying a box of his belongings.
“Gary, come with me to my office!” Steven ordered at the entrance of the supervisor's office, gritting his teeth.
He then went into the office carrying his things.
Upon hearing Steven's words, Gary trembled. Is he going to settle the score?
Uneasy, Gary entered that immensely familiar office again.
Soon, his yelps of pain rang out from inside the office.
Twenty minutes later, he stealthily walked out of the supervisor's office.
If not for his clothes, no one in the project management department could recognize the man before them as the handsome Gary Gibson.
It was because he was beaten up until both sides of his face were incredibly swollen.
The angles of his face had vanished, making him look like a pig.
“Oh my...”
Everyone was shell-shocked to see the scene before them.
After Gary returned to his new seat, he slid a vicious look through narrowed eyes at Harold in the corner.
An announcement from the HR department soon arrived.
It read: Gary Gibson deliberately slandered a fellow employee, Harold Campbell, and reported to his manager to fire the latter. As Gary Gibson abused his power to seek personal revenge on Harold, he will be demoted as punishment for his atrocious actions. From today onward, Gary Gibson is a normal employee in the project management department. As Steven Quinn did not check the facts before signing to fire an employee, he will be demoted from the position of manager to supervisor.
After reading the announcement from the HR department, everyone finally realized what was going on.
It seems like the previous rumor that the boss is planning to discipline and reorganize the company is true. Mr. Gibson and Mr. Quinn are the sacrificial lambs for this reorganization.
Seeing that not only was Harold fine but also landed Gary and Steven in trouble, Brittany was displeased.
However, there was nothing she could do.
In the meantime, Harold worked till it was lunchtime before calling home to let Pauline know she did not need to prepare lunch for him.
Unfortunately, no one answered the phone.
Right now, Isabella's parents were on the way to Turner Corporation.
