The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride Chapter 1088

Chapter 1088 

Fritz stepped forward, keeping his cool, and said, “I did the report.” 

Stephen was fuming. “How did you work? Did you do it on purpose?” 

Fritz calmly replied, “I did not.” 

“You did not? Then why the hell is there a problem with the report?!” 

“Fritz, I’ve always trusted you, and you… at this very moment…” 

Rupin was totally caught off guard. It never crossed his mind that the usually obedient and harmless Fritz would throw him under the bus at such a crucial moment. 

Fritz took a deep breath, “Rupin, I suggest you hold your tongue now. The more you talk, the more you screw up.” 

Rupin felt a lump in his throat. Was he… being scolded by Fritz on the spot? “You…” 

Whispers started to fill the room, leaving Rupin and Stephen’s faces as red as a beetroot.. 

Damon kept a poker face, “So, you didn’t do the report.” 

Rupin’s legs wobbled, nearly falling to the ground. “I… I handed it to Fritz. He’s my assistant, and I thought his work is as good as mine…” 

“Why don’t you let him take your position as sales manager then.” 

Rupin’s face turned paler. Stephen hurriedly interjected, “Mr. Harper, this is not right…” 

“Why don’t you take my position as CEO then.” 

Stephen shook his head frantically, “I can’t, I can’t!” 

Damon gave a stony look and turned around to leave. Rupin was left stunned, his face burning with embarrassment. Stephen quickly followed Damon, giving Rupin a shove when he saw his dumbfounded look. 

“Mr. Harper, please wait…” 

Damon walked briskly. Those following him in the back quickly made way for him and trailed behind. 

“Mr. Harper,!” Fritz’s voice rang out. 

Damon didn’t stop, but Fritz was one step ahead, blocking his way. 

“Stop right there!” 

Nate stepped in front of Damon, sending a warning look to Fritz. 

Fritz halted, looking at Damon over Nate’s shoulder, took a deep breath and said, “I did the sales data last month, but the file I gave Mr. Rupin was complete. As for why it’s incomplete now, I guess Mr. Rupin must have messed it up in a hurry this morning.” 

“Messed up?” Rupin was stupefied. 

Fritz nodded, “When you went to take a bath this morning, I wanted to tidy up the scattered papers on your desk, but your girlfriend kicked me out!” 

Suddenly, it dawned on Rupin that his girlfriend did mention kicking his assistant out this morning. His face changed, veins popping out on his forehead. Was it that woman who messed up his papers?! 

Rhoda, who was in the crowd, seemed to remember something. Her face turned as white as a sheet, and in the blink of an eye, she saw Rupin glaring at her furiously. 

Just as Rupin was about to charge at her, Stephen abruptly held him back. 

“Don’t make a scene here! Don’t you dare bring women into this!” Stephen whispered to Rupin, successfully calming him down. 

“… What woman, Fritz, are you trying to embarrass me today?!” Rupin flatly denied. 

Fritz remained emotionless, “I just don’t want to trouble myself, let alone be misunderstood. Since you called me out, I need to make this clear. I did do the report, and I am confident there’s nothing wrong with it. The one I gave you was indeed complete! If you don’t believe me, I have a digital backup of the report here. Also, the rest of the papers should still be in the room of your hotel bag.” 

“I have a friend working there now, and I’ve asked her to help. She should find them soon.” 

Rhoda knew Fritz was talking about Chloe. She clenched her teeth. No way! If Chloe really found the papers she tossed in the trash and Rupin confirmed it, she had no idea what the consequences would be. 

If they couldn’t find them, she would just deny it when the time came, and naturally she would get through. 

Rupin really wanted to rip Fritz apart. He lost all his dignity today, and to his surprise, Fritz was still playing tricks. He thought Damon wouldn’t really check this matter. After all, the one to blame was already clear. There was no need to investigate further. 

However, to his surprise, he heard Damon say, “The Watson Hotel?” 

Fritz nodded, “Yes.” 

“Let’s go check it out then.” 

Everyone was stunned. Since when did Mr. Harper have so much time on his hands to personally check on a clear matter at a hotel? 

Although everyone was puzzled, both Fritz and Nate understood. Did he really have that much time to handle Rupin’s work mistake? Wasn’t he just looking for an excuse to see his wife? 

They saw each other every day, yet he was still thinking of ways to meet. Didn’t he find it annoying?! 

After saying that, Damon headed straight for the mall exit. 

Rupin glared at the crowd angrily. Just a moment ago, Rhoda was right in front of the crowd, but now she was nowhere to be seen. 

When did she hide?! 

Grinding his teeth, he still followed the group. 

Several cars followed Damon’s lead. Rupin quickly followed suit. 

Cicely’s visit took Chloe back to Starlight International. 

When she saw Cicely, she was sucking on a lollipop, dressed in a cream–colored shiny fringed dress, which not only kept her warm but also accentuated her slender figure and soft aura. Her simple outfit highlighted her beauty and aura even more. 

“You’re back.” 

She looked at Chloe, smiling slightly, and stood next to the office couch, looking at her through it. 

Chloe gave a slight smile. Cicely’s sudden visit was both expected and surprising. 

She could never quite figure out Cicely. 

Cicely always did things her own way, driven by her mood. Decisions were made on a whim. Sometimes she was very principled, other times she seemed to have none. Things that seemed impossible or certain decisions could happen with her, and it wouldn’t be surprising. 

Cicely was just that kind of person. She was right in front of you, but felt so far yet so near. You could touch her, but you could never really grasp her. “Why the sudden drop by?”
