Joe winced. “I’m not one to question Mr. Lambert, Mr. Leishman.”
Furious, Carlos brought his fist down on the desk and snapped, “Just ask him when he’s coming to the company! He’s taken half a month off and left me to pick up after his mess!
“Yes, of course. Right away!” Jos said urgently when he noted the stormy look on Carlos face. He couldn’t afford to piss oft Christopher, but Carlos was equally formidable.
After Joe left, Carlos flipped through the project proposal several times. Enraged, he tossed the proposal at Hannah and growled, “Execute the project this afternoon and sort out the Invitations while you’re at it.”
“Yes, Mr. Leishasan,” Hannah answered.
Carlos narrowed his eyes. What was his nephew getting up?
Joe had only just returned to the president’s office when his phone rang. “Mr. Scott, someone’s at the door for you. They said they’re here to hand you a bill for payment.”
