Chapter 175

Chapter 175 Who’S Fooling Whom?

This was the first time Peyton saw him in the workplace. It turned out that he was not only mean to Peyton.

Brynn was already terrified. She quickly spoke up, “Mr. Dalton, calm down. This plan is… Peyton, it’s your turn to speak.”

She turned around to look at Peyton, only to find that there was no trace of fear on Peyton’s face. Peyton even stood with a straight back. She calmly met Nolan’s gaze.

Brynn thought, “What a brave warrior! What am I thinking!”

Brynn quickly dispelled the untimely thoughts in her mind.

Peyton received Brynn’s plea with a threatening gaze. She spoke, “Mr. Dalton, what were you dissatisfied with regarding my proposal?”

Nolan squinted his eyes. “Did you do it?”

She only worked for two days. Generally speaking, even if she wanted to participate in such an important planning scheme, the team leader would not have agreed. This is related to the quarterly evaluation and year–end bonus.

Obviously, the team leader made her take the blame.

Peyton was not foolish either. “Hmm, I was involved,” he said.

Brynn was dissatisfied with her argument. If Peyton said that she was only involved, Brynn couldn’t completely shift the blame onto Peyton.

“What did you participate in?”

Peyton pointed at the documents. In the expectant gaze of Brynn, she earnestly said, “The design proposal was printed by me personally.”

Brynn didn’t know what to say.

Nolan suppressed a smile. Only he knew that Peyton’s obedience and meekness were all an act.

She could not have been gentle and obedient.

Even his head had been hit by Peyton several times.

Brynn gritted her teeth and whispered, “Peyton, don’t joke around in front of Mr. Dalton. Printing? Wasn’t that your proposed plan? Mr. Dalton, please forgive her. She’s just recently joined, so she doesn’t know the rules yet.”

Peyton thought about the department meeting yesterday afternoon. Because she was new and had an unknown background, Brynn was afraid that she might be a spy from another team. Therefore, Brynn did not allow Peyton to attend the meeting.

Anyway, Peyton wasn’t here to work, so Peyton didn’t care at all.

But now there is a problem, Brynn is taking all the blame.

Peyton thought, “Do they really think I’m easy to bully?”

Peyton didn’t have to say a word. Nolan’s right hand fingers tapped on the table. His gaze casually landed on Brynn’s face. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Are you saying that your planning was done by a newly hired junior staff?”

“Yes, Mr. Dalton,” Brynn stood up. She hunched her back. Her face was filled with a pleasing expression.

“Since that’s the case, then let her take over your position as the team leader.”

Brynn’s face turned pale. “Mr. Dalton, this isn’t good. She’s just a newcomer. She doesn’t have any achievements either. I heard she was originally studying medicine. How does she have any sales experience…”

With a loud bang, Nolan slammed the table and stood up. “You also know that she is a newcomer! This is a multimillion–dollar project. Are you saying that a decision made by a newcomer is better than our company’s talent? Are you kidding me?”

Brynn trembled with fear. She stammered, “Mr. Dalton, I, I…”

“Redo it. If I ever see such rubbish again, you and the entire team members can get out of the Dalton Group.”

“Yes, yes, Mr. Dalton,” Brynn quickly picked up the planning proposal.

Peyton didn’t look back and followed Brynn as she walked away. She wondered why Nolan had suddenly acted like this.

After returning to the C office, Brynn’s face was filled with dark clouds. “Peyton, come to my office with me.”

“Oh.”

With a loud bang, Brynn slammed into the office door.
