“Get can” Benjamin Tared at Carol, pointing at the door.
His brinal roar seared Carol
Her face turned pale in trepidation. Then, she stumbled out of the office.
Benjamin was then left alone in the spacious office.
He collapsed on the chair in despair, as if he had lost his soul.
Just then, his phone rang.
He grabbed it and stared blankly at the screen.
Looking at the unfamiliar caller ID, he picked up the phone numbly. “Hello, who is this…”
“Mr. Palmer, long time no talk,” a voice sounded from the phone, taunting him.
It took Benjamin a second to recognize the voice. After figuring out who it was, his body stiffened in the chair. “Gilmore Reed!” he growled into the phone.
“Yes, this is Gilmore Reed. And you must be very desperate right now, aren’t you?”
A fierce glint flashed across Benjamin’s eyes as he snapped. “You bought off those chefs at a higher price, didn’t you?”
“No, they didn’t help you because they have a good conscience. You dug your own grave,” said Gilmore.
“Oh, really? Gilmore Reed, do you have any evidence that can prove I did it? The waiter is from Evermore Diner. Don’t think you can pin that on me.”
Benjamin sneered.
He didn’t think he had left any evidence that could lead back to him.
He had never met those chefs of Evermore Diner in person.
Even if Winona ratted him out, there was no evidence to prove that he was the mastermind behind all of it.
Also, Winona was now an employee at Evermore Diner,
Although his plan had failed, Benjamin still felt he could get away unscathed.
“Mr. Palmer, you sound pretty confident. Have you checked the news? Just turn on the TV. Any channel. They are reporting your ‘brilliant deed right now.”
Gilmore chuckled. “With such a stain on Gastronova Ventures‘ reputation, do you think you can keep your position when your grandpa sees the news?”
Benjamin’s face darkened when he heard that, and he replied angrily, “Gilmore Reed, if you think you can scare me, think again.”
“Well then, I’ll leave you to get on with it.” With that, Gilmore hung up.
Benjamin threw his phone onto the desk and immediately turned on the TV in his office.
The channel was playing local news.
The news reporter was standing in the dining area of Evermore Diner, saying to the camera, “In this exact Evermore Diner branch, we just witnessed an unethical slander. Its rival restaurant planted an undercover waiter to put cockroaches in the
