A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride novel Chapter 273

Arianne rushed back to her desk to find the documents in her hands, but despite her best efforts, she could not find them at all! She returned to Eric’s office with a pale face. “No… The document I have has gone missing. How can the client be so contradictory? The contract has clearly been signed. This is too much!”

Eric lowered his voice as he said, “Due to my current situation, setting aside my broken ties with the Nathaniel family, Glide is only a mid-sized company so I can’t give them too much profits. We can’t let our competitors find out about this. If news of this gets out, my competitors will swoop down and give our clients higher profits. At that time, contract cancellations like this would be normal. It’s not that I can’t afford it, it’s just not necessary for me to fork out that kind of money. Understand?”

Arianne felt mildly vexed. “I really don’t know what happened. I’m the designer, I shouldn’t have accepted such an important role. Now that something has happened, I don’t know what to do either. I kept the document properly locked away in my drawer. I don’t know how it went missing! What do I do now?”

Eric was in a terrible shape from worrying, but he tried his best to stay calm. “We’re definitely not getting that deal now. We’ve wasted our overtime hours, and the date to my second brother’s handover is approaching soon. There’s no need for us to find a new deal. Just finish whatever work you have and be done with it. I can’t be bothered to investigate this matter. It won’t be my problem after I leave the Nathaniels.”

Arianne gritted her teeth and said, “You have to investigate this. This is clearly set up by someone in the company. I would never betray you for this small bit of profit. If you don’t investigate, what if this traitor continues to work for you after you leave Glide? He or she can betray you again!”

Eric paused thoughtfully and said, “Actually, I’d love to investigate this, but I’m too exhausted. I don’t have the energy to do it. Forget it. I’ll bring a few trustworthy people along with me when I leave. Go back to work. Don’t bring up this matter again. I believe that it has nothing to do with you.”

Arianne gloomily returned to her desk, feeling absolutely vexed. Eric trusted her so much, but her negligence had caused a bungle. The profits from this deal would go to the funds of Eric’s new company. It was very important to Eric. Now it was lost because of her. She felt very guilty about it. After giving some thought, she decided to investigate the matter. She went to the security room and asked for the surveillance footage. She was certain the document was still with her twenty-four hours ago because she saw it when she was packing up. That meant someone had stolen it within twenty-four hours ago.
