Sir Ares, Goodnight

Chapter 213

Eminent Honor Co. Ltd. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

President Zayne Severe was summoning his entrepreneurial partners and the company's key employees for an emergency meeting.

"During this period, there have been persistent attacks by hackers on our network system. But I don’t understand. Eminent Honor has only been listed recently, and we’re not a powerful company. So who would have their sights set on us?” Zayne’s best friend, Francis Greene, asked.

Zayne did not hold back with his reply. "Eminent Honor might be nothing big, but it’s supported by the Severe family’s wealth. Back in his younger days, my old man did many evil deeds and annexed too many small and medium-sized enterprises. He has made too many enemies, and many people have put a target on the Severe family's back.

"The most urgent task at the moment is to restore network order immediately. Eminent Honor's foundation has never been stable. If it operates abnormally for a long time, it'll affect the customer's experience.

"However, we have mobilized all network engineers. They've been working day and night without sleep but are still unable to restore Eminent Honor's network. If we keep waiting, there may be a lot of complaints

from customers tomorrow, and it might affect our business partners' determination to work with us as well."

"The hackers attacking us are too skilled. Perhaps we can only resolve this issue by asking for Grand Asia's help."

Zayne stood up angrily and protested. "I'd rather the company go bankrupt and go beg for food than to ask that b*stard Jay Ares for help."

Francis pulled the emotional Zayne back onto his seat and consoled him gently. "Calm down, Zayne."

After Angeline Severe’s death, Zayne had grown to resent Jay.

From Zayne's perspective, Jay was the one who caused his sister's death.

Moreover, because of his sister's death, his grandfather's condition worsened and he was now staying in a hospital. There was no one to take care of the Severe family, and their business withered.

The decline of the Severe family was related to Jay Ares as well.

Zayne calmed down and said, "Sorry, that was unbecoming of me. Don't worry, there'll be a new staff coming in soon. She has very professional hacking skills. Perhaps she can help us recover our network system." Zayne put his last hopes on Rose Foyle.

Everyone sighed. "Who is it?"

Francis did not seem to think she was reliable. "Are you referring to the newly-hired hacker with an annual salary of 300,000 bucks?"

Zayne nodded.

Francis threw his pen onto the table and said confidently, "It’s more likely that she’s a scammer. If she truly is a top-rated hacker, why would she join Eminent Honor in the first place? And for such a low salary too?"

Zayne argued, trying to reason with him. "She needed money urgently. Otherwise, she would never have paid attention to our company either."

Francis stared at him, speechless. "When did you become so naive?"

At that moment, the meeting room's door swung open.

Rose looked at them apologetically. "Sorry, I’m late."

Zayne stared at Rose, dumbfounded.

He initially thought that she would be an intimidating woman. He never expected that she was a cute, gentle girl.

He was starting to worry about Rose’s skill.

"So you’re the staff who doesn’t spend regular hours in the office?" Francis stood up and walked toward Rose.

Rose nodded. "That’s me!"

Francis crossed his arms, appraised her, and said with distrust, "You’ve got the looks. I just hope that your skills match up to your pretty face."

The moment Rose saw Francis, she knew that the issues that Eminent Honor was facing were not simple.

Francis Greene graduated from a prestigious American university. Ever since they were kids, Old Man Severe had always used Francis as an example to inspire Angeline and Zayne's education.

Rose shifted her gaze to Zayne. After not seeing him for many years, Zayne's carefree childishness had faded. He now seemed more mature and steady.
