When they took a better look, they realized that it was Julie Amberson.
"Dustin, why are you here?" Julie was surprised when she spotted him.
"Why can't I be
here? I'm the Chief Security Officer." Dustin grabbed an apple and munche
d on it.
"Chief Security Officer? Dahlia, are you serious? I'm just a secretary, b
ut you appointed him as chief officer.
Why?" Julie was aghast.
"I don't need to explain my decisions to you." Dahlia snapped at her with
a stern look.
"By the way. I'm surprised that you can still call yourself a secretary.
You were 32 minutes late on your first day at the job. How unprofessional
of you!" She gave Julie a
chance to grow and improve her skills after being
pestered by Florence and her aunt on the matter, but she was disappointed
by Julie's attitude.
"I was stuck in traffic just now. I had no choice! Anyway, I was only lat
e for half
an hour. That's not a big deal, is it?" Julie did not take it seriously.
"Did I not ask you to wait in the meeting
room with the materials half an hour before the meeting? Look at you
now. You were nowhere to be seen even after the meeting ended. How dare y
ou say that it's not a problem?" Dahlia slammed her hands on the table in
anger.
"What? Is the meeting over?" Julie went blank.
"Thankfully, I memorized the details before the meeting. I would have to
keep waiting if I had relied on you."
Dahlia was irked. Her first day as chairman was crucial, but her secretar
y was not concerned at all.
"Dahlia, it's my fault. I will be careful in the future." Julie's cheeks
reddened in shame.
"I'll let this slip, but you'd better not repeat your mistake!" She warne
d Julie, who nodded furiously. "That's
enough for now. Go do research on the Flame Dragon Gang for me."
"The Flame Dragon Gang?" Julie's pupils wavered at the mention of the gan
g. "Dahlia, how did you get involved with them? They're merciless bastard
s!"
"Why? Have you heard of them?" Dahlia raised a brow in curiosity.
"Of course! The Flame Dragon Gang is famous for being evil in this region
. Whoever gets on their bad side will suffer a horrific death!" Julie exp
lained with a grave expression.
"They sound powerful." Dahlia frowned.
"Dahlia, what was the debt thing you mentioned just now?" Julie prodded c
autiously, and Dahlia summarized everything that happened during the boar
d meeting.
After the brief explanation, Julie's face fell. "D–
Dahlia, are you kidding me? Are you asking the Flame Dragon Gang to pay t
heir debt?!"
"That's right. It's only fair to pay your debts," Dahlia responded with a
serious face.
"Oh, Dahlia, it's always the Flame Dragon Gang that chases after their de
btors. No one has done it the other
way around!" Julie was gripped by
fear. "A billionaire once reported the Flame Dragon Gang because he was a
ngered by their lawless behavior. Guess what happened
to that guy? His family of eight vanished overnight, and their bodies hav
e not been found until now! Hank Hoffman is clearly sending you to your d
eath by asking you to demand that
the gang settle its debts! You can't fall for it!"
"I have promised to settle this issue. I need to see this to the end," Da
hlia said somberly.
"Dahlia, is money or life more important to you? You're putting yourself
at risk by asking the gang for debt payments!" Julie panicked in the face
of Dahlia's naive determination.
"That's enough. Stop fighting." Dustin, who had finished his apple, duste
d his hands and stood up. "The Flame Dragon Gang isn't a big
deal at all. I'll get them to pay the 70 million in debt. I promise that
you'll get back every single cent the company has been owed!"
"You?" Julie froze before sneering. "Who do you think you are? You have s
ome balls to ask the Flame Dragon Gang for money!"
He smiled at her. "To tell you the truth, I'm the leader of the Flame Dra
gon Gang."
