Chapter 1606: Chapter 1605: Presiding over the work

Peter Brown and Security Section Chief Alexander Greenhill were stationed here while the hospital was arranging for an ambulance to take Rylan Williams to the provincial hospital.

Watching the ambulance depart, and noticing that the Carter Clan hadn’t requested any company staff to provide care, Peter Brown and Alexander Greenhill looked at each other and both sighed with relief. The Carter Clan had a formidable presence, especially that woman who was constantly critical about everything here. If it wasn’t for the fact that they sensed Peter Brown was David Brown’s trusted follower and gave him some respect, who knows what kind of trouble could have arisen.

"Peter, let’s have a few drinks when you’re free," said Alexander Greenhill with a smile to Peter Brown.

"Sure, I’ll treat you next time." Knowing the other party was extending an olive branch, Peter Brown did not reject the offer.

It was only when he returned to the office that Peter Brown realized he was the only one left there.

"Peter Brown, we need to have a meeting." Just as he poured some water and took a sip, Henry Carter called on Peter Brown to follow him to a meeting.

Alexander Greenhill arrived shortly after.

Once all the leaders had taken their seats, Henry Carter looked at Alexander Greenhill and said, "Please explain the whole situation. None of us are very clear on it."

"We also rushed over after receiving notification from the hospital. There were quite a few personnel from various sides there at that time. Later, Mr. Carter also arrived. As to what exactly happened, to tell the truth, I still don’t have a clear understanding. It’s just that when the police were questioning Ivy Cooper, she claimed that there were ghosts in the room. Just as those two were about to engage in that kind of activity, suddenly there were screams of a ghost, and really horrifying ones at that. That’s why Mr. Williams rushed out first, and then Ivy Cooper followed, and somehow, as the two were running down the stairs, they collided with each other and both fell down..."

Listening to Alexander Greenhill’s account, everyone sitting there was somewhat dumbstruck, as none of them had anticipated such a turn of events.

"Ghosts? Did the police check that room?" A leader asked.

"Of course, they even brought in computer experts from the county to check the computers, but they found nothing. It’s said that today experts from the city will also come to thoroughly inspect every room." Alexander Greenhill said this while casting a glance, intentional or otherwise, at Peter Brown who was sitting there taking notes with an impassive expression.

In fact, upon hearing about the voices that Ivy Cooper had mentioned, Alexander Greenhill immediately thought of Peter Brown’s constant use of his computer, which made him somewhat suspicious. He even raised the question of a computer issue in the room.

Alexander Greenhill was somewhat suspicious that Peter Brown may have had a hand in this, but he had no evidence and could only suggest to the police to look into it, and fortunately, the police were also speculating about this possibility, which made the computer check a focus.

Whether it was related to Peter Brown or not was unknown.

"Peter, please share Mr. Williams’ condition," said Alexander Greenhill after finishing his part, with Henry Carter then turning his attention to Peter Brown.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Williams’ Family Members have already transferred him to the provincial city for treatment. According to the hospital, Mr. Williams’ condition is not very good. He has a broken limb and a fractured sternum, but that’s not the main issue. The main concern is his fractured skull. Although he has been treated and is out of life-threatening danger, working in the short term will be impossible. The doctors estimate he needs at least half a year of rest."

"What’s the situation with Ivy Cooper?" Henry Carter asked.

"Ivy Cooper’s condition is not too serious, but she has also broken a leg. As the saying goes, ’It takes a hundred days to recover from muscle and bone injuries,’ so she will also need several months to half a year’s time, making it unlikely she’ll be able to Go to Work," replied Peter Brown.

As everyone listened to Peter Brown’s account of the medical conditions, a complex mix of emotions showed on their faces. They truly had not expected such an incident,

If this was the case, could Rylan Williams still resume his job as a manager?

Moreover, Ivy Cooper had just been appointed by Rylan Williams as the acting head of the Integrated Office, but now she was in this condition. Could she still go to work?

While everyone was still contemplating these issues, Union Chairperson Heidi Harris seriously said, "There’s another matter that we might need to seriously discuss."

Henry Carter turned his attention to Heidi Harris.

Heidi Harris then took out her cell phone and said, "Perhaps you haven’t seen the news on your phones yet, but Mr. Williams’ and Ivy Cooper’s incident has become a hot topic Online. It’s all over the Netizens’ feeds."

"What?"

Henry Carter was also surprised and quickly opened his own cell phone.

The people at the meeting also started checking their cell phones.

Upon looking, they all became somewhat stunned to see the screens full of news about the two running naked and the ghostly disturbance. There were even some videos which, despite some blurring, made it quite clear to see the bodies of the two. Netizens also had a lot of comments.

After everyone finished looking, Heidi Harris said, "With such an incident, do you think the Group company will just sit by? Do you think Ivy Cooper can still manage the work of the Integrated Office? Is it still possible for Mr. Williams to return as the manager?"

Upon hearing this, those sitting there realized the truth of the situation. Ivy Cooper handling the work of the Integrated Office had become a joke. What would everyone think? That she could get promoted just by spending a night with Rylan Williams?

Henry Carter hesitated for a moment and said, "As everyone knows, the situation in the Integrated Office is crucial; it’s an indispensable part of the subsidiary. Reid Nelson resigned, and Ivy Cooper had an accident. Now the only one left is Comrade_Peter Brown. My opinion is let’s have Comrade_Peter Brown take up the work of the Integrated Office for now. As for the next steps, I expect the Group company will inquire into it."

It was true that, even if they didn’t want Peter Brown to be in charge, they had no choice, as he was the only one left in the Integrated Office.

At that moment, Henry Carter received a call.

When he came back from the call, there was a hint of joy on Henry Carter’s face. Sitting down, he said, "The Group’s Vice President is on his way here. Let’s go to greet him."

Turning to Peter Brown, he added, "Peter, you’ve been familiar with the work of the Integrated Office all along, so you take over for now. Later, we’ll assign two college graduates to the Integrated Office to help you out."

"Okay, I’ll definitely do the job well," Peter Brown knew this was the only way to handle the situation.

At this point, the way everyone looked at Peter Brown had changed once again.

Rylan Williams wanted to deal with Peter Brown, yet before he could take any action against Peter, he himself went down. Peter Brown’s luck seemed to be extraordinarily good.

And now, seeing Henry Carter’s demeanor, it was clear that Rylan Williams wouldn’t be coming back to work, likely because Henry Carter had received notice. It seemed that Henry Carter would now be taking over the management of the subsidiary, and Peter Brown’s crisis had been unexpectedly resolved.
