A Life Debt Repaid novel Chapter 62

Chapter 62

And with those words, Cordy strode out of the conference room without looking back, imposing as ever.

Fabian did not expect that he, a man in his forties, would be threatened by a twentyish brat!

He quickly called Simon to report the situation.

“Ignore her. Just do what I tell you,” Simon said, still thinking nothing of Cordy at all. “I’ll cover for you if anything happens.”

“Yes, Mr. Sachs.”

Fabian smiled evilly then.

He did not mind waiting and seeing how long Cordy would last!

Cordy brought Vince with her to Starstreams’ production plant, even as she wondered why the workers would go on strike out of the blue.

The plant was in the outskirts of North City and the journey was long-they only arrived in the afternoon.

However, Cordy did not stop for lunch and went inside right away to meet Dean Longman, the factory chief.

Like Fabian, Dean had no respect toward Cordy at all. It went without saying they were both in league with Simon.

“I heard that our new board chairman is young, but not this young!” he exclaimed, his words more ironic than praiseful. “You’re no older than my daughter, who’s always throwing herself into my arms and purring. Comparing yourself with others really hurts, huh?”

Cordy simply pretended that she never heard a word of it, and cut to the chase, “I heard from Fabian Locke that the workers are on strike. What on earth is going on?”

“What do you mean, what? Of course it’s because they’re underpaid!”

“Pay us! Pay us!”

They were all shouting and yelling as they encircled Cordy and Vince.

Vince was shielding Cordy behind himself, worried that they would attack her.

“Calm down!” Cordy shouted. “Once I get to the bottom of this, everyone will be appropriately paid and reimbursed. No one working for Starstream would be allowed to suffer!”

“Liar!” The worker in the lead snapped. “She’ll just ignore us once she leaves! Don’t let her leave!” “Pay us, or you’re not leaving this place!

Cordy was shocked that the workers would go this far, and it was obvious that the strike had been a long time coming.

Even so, she would never have known that things were this serious if she had not asked about this plant’s production issues.
