Chapter 155
The abrupt interruption drew everyone’s curious gaze toward the conference room door.
It was Daniel.
He stood there with two tall young men on either side of him. They were dressed in white shirts and black trousers, and they were all carrying laptop bags.
Despite their simple attire, they exuded confidence and charisma. At a glance, it was evident that they weren’t ordinary people.
The boss glanced at Daniel and immediately walked over to him with a smile on his face.
“Oh, why has the boss of One Technology come here in person? If One Technology requires anything, just ask Kimberly directly. The two of you are old acquaintances, right?”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the room began to whisper.
“He’s the boss of One Technology? He’s so young. Kimberly is so awesome. She actually knows such an influential person.”
“It must be him. His figure is identical to the one Kimberly posted on her social media account before.”
“Hey, why isn’t Kimberly getting up to greet her old acquaintance? Didn’t she say that the boss of One Technology was impressed by her proposal?”
As everyone whispered, they turned their attention to Kimberly.
Beside her, Millie was nudging her excitedly.
Aurelia had to suppress her laughter upon witnessing this scene.
She couldn’t help but admire Leslie for even sending over the executive assistant of One Technology’s boss.
With Daniel’s arrival, her plans could be considered half successful.
Daniel had intentionally worn the same outfit that he had worn in the photo Kimberly flaunted on her social media page, so it was no wonder that everyone recognized him at a glance.
Now, Kimberly and Zachary stared at Daniel as they both paled.
The marketing department interacted directly with clients, and the boss rarely intervened in such matters.
After all, apart from event planning, Young Advertising’s major income came from advertising design.
That was why Kimberly and Zachary could conceal everything that happened at One Technology. They knew that their boss wouldn’t go out of his way to contact One Technology.
However, they never expected Daniel to come over in person.
This was all Kimberly’s fault. When she was boasting on social media, she didn’t think to block
her boss.
So, when the boss saw Daniel, he immediately recognized him as the person from the photo in Kimberly’s post, mistaking him to be the founder of One Technology.
Aurelia wondered what expression her boss would make if he realized that he had been deceived by Kimberly and made a fool of himself in public.
Of course, she wasn’t foolish enough to be the first to speak up.
She would just stand by and wait for the right moment to strike.
The next moment, one of the young men beside Daniel turned to look at him.
“Mr. Xenos, when did you become the boss of One Technology?”
“Mr. Xenos, I thought Ms. Simmons was the only person you know from Young Advertising,” the other man said.
Instantly, silence fell over the room.
The boss’ expression contorted, and his lips twitched. He then turned to look at Kimberly, who was stiff and pale.
Kimberly’s mind went blank, and she couldn’t say a single word.
Everyone immediately revealed contemptuous looks.
“What? She was bragging about One Technology’s boss buying her gifts. Was it all fake?”
“Before, she said that she was close to Mr. Lynch of One Technology, but Mrs. Lynch mocked her for that. Mrs. Lynch didn’t say who it was, but everyone knew that she was talking about Kimberly.”
“It seems that she became vice director not because she’s good at her job, but because she’s good at deceiving people.”
“I told you that she’ll suffer the consequences eventually.”
Daniel cleared his throat and said solemnly, “I’m Ian’s assistant. He heard that the proposal submitted to our company might have been a result of plagiarism. He’s furious and has sent me here to inquire about it.”
“What… Who told you that?” the boss asked awkwardly.
“Is it false? The entire building here is talking about it. Even your competitor has come to our company to tell us about it.
“Were you planning to keep this a secret from us? If you deliberately hide any issues with the proposal, our company reserves the right to terminate the contract.”
Daniel’s voice was loud and clear. His intention was clearly conveyed in just a few words.
