Billionaire, Let's Divorce!

"Hello."

"Good evening ma'am.

The secretary there had a bright smile on his face as he greeted me. "Good evening. Inform the head.

accountant that I'm here to see him."

He nodded and made a call. I was hastily summoned in.

The accountant was all smiles as he ushered me in, already waiting at the door. "It's a pleasure to have you back, ma'am."

I smiled, "Thank you. I don't think we've met since I got back, right?"

"We haven't," he confirmed as he got in his seat.

I got in the seat on the opposite side of his desk too and started to tell him what I needed.

The accountant's face had become solemn as I spoke. That wouldn't have been an issue a month ago, ma'am,"

I raised a curious brow. "And it would be a issue now?"

"Yes, Kind of."

My heart dropped an inch.

He smoothed his palm on the edge of the desk. "You see, we needed more hands in our department so we hired a new employee, after series of tests ofcourse. We picked the best out of the bests. This employee had mistakenly given the wrong dimensions and textures of fabrics and machines to our main suppliers. We had already paid and when our orders arrived, all of it were wrong. There was no way they could be of use to us and the suppliers weren't willing to refund and take back the supplies." His eyes swept to the door before it fell back on me, "You can check our storage rooms, it's where we've stocked them hoping they'd be useful one day. So we had to place new orders since our customers were on our neck, demanding for their orders. Some of the customers were impatient so we refunded them which made them really mad and bitter."

I rested my elbows on the desk and held my head in my hands. "How didn't I get a whiff of this at all? "It would've deeply affected our goodwill so we quickly sorted it out with the public relations. They demanded a lot but we needed the bad reviews and bitter comments down ASAP so we caved in. They handled the crisis effectively and stopped it from escalating."

I thought he was through until he spoke up again.

"And now, the wrong supplies are taking up space so we needed to expand our storage to accommodate the right ones that are on their way. We started to restrategize so we spent quite a lot on logistics too. Right now, we're struggling to stay grounded with the cash flow we have left."

He took a deep breath and clasped his hands on the table and held my gaze. "I'm sorry ma'am, but if I should approve the withdrawal of such amount then I am simply approving the fall and ruin of Luxe Vogue." Then he muttered, "I doubt we even have up to that right now."This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

"Fuck!" The accountant flinched back as I thumped my fists on the desk without thinking. "Shit shit shit!"

"I'm sorry," I heard him mutter, "I wish there was a way

"And where's this employee?!" erupted.

"He's been placed on suspension, ma'am."

"God!" I reclined on the chair and titlted my head back. I tried to calm myself down. My savings is still there. I didn't know how much I had there since I had placed it on an automatic saving account but I was sure it was a lot.

I sat back up. "But I checked the financial statements, everything looked good."

"That must be a month ago, ma'am. Our financial statements are in ruins right now, nothing to boast about."

I made the calculation and nodded to myself. He was right, I had halfmindedly checked the financial statements during my trip. I hadn't wanted to be actively involved in work yet then.

"And why am I just hearing of this? Does Grace know?

"No, ma'am." He shook his head. "We've held several meetings and we have everything under control."

"You have everything under control yet we're on the verge of sinking?!" I yelled at him and his gaze dropped to his clasped hands.

"Inform the HR team," my voice was firm and determined. "Get your team too. We're holding an emergency meeting right now. Meet me in the board room."

I picked up my bag and headed to the boardroom. My hands shook as I tried Grace's number again. Thankfully, it went through.

"Girl," my voice was urgent. "Where have you been? I've been trying your line all day."

"Oh really?" She sounded at ease. I was sure she'd panic when she hears of the latest financial status of our company. "Must be network, I didn't receive any of your calls." "Whatever, just come over. We're holding an emergency meeting right now. I'll explain everything when you get here."

She must have sensed the urgency in my voice because she didn't ask any question. "Alright. I'll be on my way."

Less that an hour later, everyone was seated in the boardroom. Some of the members breaking a sweat as they had to rush here.
