His And Her Marriage (Lucian and Roxanne)

Chapter 2040

Chapter 2040 I Am Foolish

Meanwhile, at the manager's office, Orchid was deep in thought. Suddenly, she thought of some crucial

details, panicking.

The woman immediately got her subordinates to delve into the research institute's patented formulas.

In the end, the result came back. There were only four patented formulas left.

Moreover, these four patented formulas had been given to authorized patent agents, a way Roxanne

had used to earn enough cash flow.

“D*mn it! This means I got myself a pretty much useless research institute!” A furious Orchid scolded

her subordinates loudly. “What a bunch of losers!”

IVe should have gotten our hands on the patented formulas right away! Now it's all gone!

These so-called high-level management teams were simply a group of losers to her now.

She trembled angrily while her subordinates remained silent, not daring to talk back.

At that precise moment, Colby knocked on the door.

The door was actually ajar. He had witnessed everything that went down in the room because he stood

outside, unwilling to interrupt, for he wanted to see more of their despair.

But then, he decided to get things done. Colby walked over to Orchid respectfully, “Ms. Downey, this is

the resignation letter of the research institute's person-in-charge, Ms. Jarvis, and here's my resignation

letter. I'm honored to work with GK Group before this. However, due to some health concerns, I can no

longer work competently in my position, so I hope you will approve my resignation!” Colby announced

his high-sounding justification for leaving the company.

Orchid's gaze shifted to the two resignation letters, gritting her teeth. She was so angered that her

heart thumped wildly. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Very well. I approved your resignation!” She peered at Colby with disgust, waving her hands to dismiss

him.

Colby was not ignorant enough to linger. He put the company seal in front of Orchid before leaving.

“Roxanne, you're quite something! It looks like I was foolish enough to believe you!”

Colby closed the door as he stepped out of the room. Unfortunately, Orchid's raging, thunderous words

boomed through the door that one could even hear her from far away.

It was dusk when the newly-resigned Colby arrived at the Flora Verba Group CEO's office to apply for

his new job.

During that period, James listened to Colby recounting everything that went down earlier. He couldn't

help but cheer for Roxanne's tactic of pulling the rug from underneath Orchid and attacking her where

she least expected.

“That's why I can only work for you from today onward. Please take good care of me, Mr. Lann!”

Colby returned to Flora Verba Group first to prepare for the reopening of the research institute by the

company. That way, when Peregrine showed up for work with the rest of the technical personnel, they

would have a familiar face to turn to.

"Please don't be so courteous with me, Colby. You're an exceptionally talented man with excellent

technical skills and fantastic business operation ability! I would have given you this position even if I

didn't owe Roxanne anything, to begin with!” James said seriously. After all, he had a family business to

inherit.

“I'll follow your arrangements, Mr. Lann.” Colby smiled.

“Okay. Here's the deal. You are the vice president of Flora Verba Group from today onward! You will

need to help me out, okay? Don't just focus on the matters related to the research institute only!”

Thrilled, James took the chance to share his burden with Colby.

His announcement took Colby by surprise. Colby had never expected himself to be given such a high

position. He thought he would only be a supervisor after creating the research department.

“Hmm... Mr. Lann, do you want to think this through? Or maybe you should inform Ms. Jarvis first?”

Colby was flattered beyond words.

James shook his head, waving his hands dismissively. “Even though she is the chairman, I have the

right to decide. It's a yes from me, so don't refuse anymore, okay? Flora Verba Group will have our

independent research institute soon. Once the news gets released, our company shares will go off the

charts!”
