Ruby hesitated for a moment, "Me? What could I do?"
Francis said, "Don't you have shares in your hand? Sell them to fill the hole for Johnson."
Ruby was stunned, and her pupils dilated slightly.
The shares in her hand...
They were what kept her head held high in the Landau family. If she sold the shares, she would have nothing.
Francis leaned back and played with the coffee spoon casually while looking at her.
He said leisurely, "Reluctant? Then there is nothing you can do. It seems that he is not very important to you."
Ruby was caught in a dilemma, "But my shares won't be worth so much money."
"It can do for the time being, and you can take your time to figure out the rest. What do you think?"
Ruby pursed her lips, looking hesitant. It was difficult for her to choose between the shares and her beloved husband.
"I have to think about it." Ruby still couldn't make up her mind immediately.
"Sure, but there's not even enough left. If you are late, you may not know if Johnson will run away one day, and you won't be able to find him."
Ruby was stunned and she was thinking maybe she should sell her shares.
She hesitated and said, "But who can I sell them to? Who can come up with so much cash at once?
"As long as you want to, I can help you," Francis said.
Ruby stared into his eyes, nothing could be seen in them, it was like a deep pool that she could not see through.
But he was her eldest brother, and Ruby would never doubt her eldest
brother.
After a while, Ruby gritted her teeth, closed her eyes and took a deep breath, "I'll give you an answer tomorrow."
Francis raised her lips and stopped talking.
Ruby couldn't sit still anymore. She took back the documents on the table and left.
Francis reminded her again, "You'd better not tell anyone about this matter, including Johnson, otherwise, you will know the consequences if our father finds out."
Ruby's body stiffened, and she tightened her grip on the document, immediately turned around and left.
It was around four o'clock in the afternoon when Francis came to the company.
He went to the office, and Harriet came in, "Mr. Landau."
Francis flipped through the documents on the table and asked casually, "Where are the documents from those companies?"
"Well, I asked someone to sort them out. I'll ask her to bring it over."
Harriet said, picked up the intercom on the table, and dialed a number, "Lilian, where are the materials I asked you to sort out this morning? Just print them out and bring them over. No need to send the electric copy to me. Mr. Landau wants them now."
When Francis heard Lilian's name, he paused slightly.
Harriet hung up the phone and smiled at him, "Oh, I came here to tell you that Lilian came to work today."
"I saw that she had nothing to do, so I arranged some simple work for her. She'd better not sit idle." Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Francis's face was implicit. He just said calmly, "This is your department's matter, and you don't need to report to me."
"Okay, I won't report to you from now on." Harriet looked at him. He was still rummaging around the desk. "Mr. Landau, what are you looking for?"
"A box."
"Red?"
"Yes."
Harriet thought for a while, "I think I have seen it somewhere. It should be here."
Harriet walked to him and squatted down, opening the unlocked drawer at the bottom. All important documents were locked in the cabinet, and she could move the unlocked drawer.
Harriet searched in the drawer, found the red box, and handed it to Francis, "Is this it?"
Francis took it and said, "Yeah."
He didn't even look at it and just put it into his pocket.
Lilian knocked on the door and came in, holding the documents and walked over. Just then Harriet stood up from behind the desk.
Lilian paused for a moment. She looked at the distance between the two of them, and her fingers holding the documents suddenly tightened.
