The Woman From Hell
Chapter 1413

I could not help but smile. "Sure, you're not jealous."

Theo tutted and pounced on me, saying with a sullen countenance, "How dare you mock me? I'm going to teach you a lesson."

"Stop messing around. You should get back to work."

"There's no hur-"

As soon as he said that, someone knocked on the door.

Veins were bulging from his forehead. He got out of bed and opened the lounge room door. "Come in."

He had urgent matters to attend to. The temperature outside was cold at night. If we were to go out and have dinner, I would be wearing too few layers. Hence, I went to the closet and picked out a jacket. "This is the report from Limbia, Mr. Grant. We've also scanned these contracts and made sure they're okay. I'll have someone send them over after you sign them."

Keith's voice was heard from outside.

Theo did not say a word. He was truly cold and indifferent when it came to work.

After waiting for a long time and hearing no one talking, I thought Keith was done. I was just about to go out when he finally spoke, "Mr. Grant, the HR department has given us a promotion list. You can add a note on the side if there's anything."

"Mm."

I heard the door closing and walked out of the lounge.

Seeing Theo reading a contract, I asked, "Do you still have a lot to do?"

Theo shook his head. "Not much now. We can go have our dinner when I'm done."

I looked at the files that were almost piled into a small mountain next to his hand. I wanted to tell him that I could go and meet Tyler alone, but he probably would not agree to it.

I placed my jacket on the sofa and walked over to pick up the promotion list. There were hundreds of names on it, and it made my head hurt just looking at it.

It was not easy being the boss. One even needed to look through something this detailed. How should one handle this promotion list that contained hundreds of employees?"

Theo raised his eyes to take a look and said mildly, "Can you take a look for me and circle the names of the employees who have worked for less than three years? As for the rest, you can just look at their seniority and promote those who have performed well and worked hard."

I frowned. "Isn't that too rash? I've noticed that even employees who have just joined the company are good workers and performing quite well too. Don't you think you should consider promoting people like that too?"

Theo smiled. "You decide."

Was I really in the position to decide?

"Do you think I still have the energy to look at the promotion list after I'm done with the work at hand?"

Theo looked very seriously at me.

He was bent on putting me in charge of this matter. I sighed and had no choice but to agree. My initial plan was to come to the company with him to take care of him and help him at work. Now that he was asking me for help, I had no reason to refuse.

Apart from the promotion list, there were several promotion application forms for employees. One of the was Thalia's.

After taking a closer look, I realized that she had written a good application form with sincere words and a clear description of her future work plans.

However, she only joined the company last year and had just worked for a year. She also did not have an outstanding performance, so I chose not to pass her application.

A little past five o'clock, Theo finished his work at hand and saw me still staring at the promotion list. He did not interrupt me. He picked up Thalia's promotion application and took a look.

"There's no need to be so serious. Those who haven't worked long enough and have no outstanding performance are not allowed to be promoted.

"Looks like I need to inform the HR department to not include the ones who didn't fulfill the criteria on the list."
