220 Proud Boyfriend 2 (1/2)
”Now Nyelle, you need to put into work the things you learned from Edward when he trained you shortly as a secretary.” She said as she encouraged herself.
Nyelle is now at the middle of collating the files she gathered. She discovered that money weren't coveted and instead the supplies were. The construction materials were being stolen and incorrect numbers were placed in the records just to hide this anomaly. The woman really deserved some credit as she was able to trace what happened to the stolen items. Nyelle, then created a concept map for it. Sad to say that account books weren't included in the evidence presented. It would have made the report more convincing.
”Anyways, I hope Edward and Vince will believe these files and take action.” Nyelle said as she printed the report she just made and extracted the USB from the laptop. With the evidences in her hand, she went out of the office.
She took a deep breath outside the main room where Vince, Edward and the rest of the managers are having their meeting. To her delight, Edward opened the door and stepped out with a shocked look on his face.
”What are….”
”Please tell them that I'm a secretary-in training at the moment.” Nyelle pleaded.
”Why is that?”
”A loyal staff gave me these files while I was staying in your office.” Her lines seemed to caught Edward's attention and so he asked,
”Did you make a report on it?”
”Yes. However, the details are incomplete.”
”Do you think it is strong enough for Vince to hand a decision for an inspection and investigation?”
”I think so.” She said as she gave two copies to Edward – one for him and one for Vince.
After doing a quick glance on the file, Edward smiled and whispered,
”This is what my bro has been looking for.”
Then he opened the door for Nyelle. As they went inside, Edward introduced her to the mangers.
”Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to introduce to you, a secretary in-training.” Edward announced which was received by a bow from them.
As Nyelle finally stood beside Vince, she introduced herself.
”Good morning. My name is Nyelle. Sir Edward assigned an assignment for me which is to be reported today.” She said and handed the reports to each of the managers.
Vince whispered to Edward, ”What is the meaning of this?”
”She received a tip from one of the staff about the anomaly we noticed in the account books.”
”Raw reports?” Vince asked.
*Raw reports are used to refer to the information gathered but not yet interpreted and explained. (Unofficial meaning)
”Yes. But during our meaning, she interpreted the reports.” Edward replied.
”Are you…”
”I did a quick overview outside and it was indeed quite strong. You can impose an investigation on this.” Edward said.
”That's good, then.” Vince whispered back before announcing to them.
”We shall now listen to Ms. Nyelle's report. I will not allow any intervention. One may only speak once she finishes.”
With a 'go' signal from Vince, Nyelle began her report. Vince and Edward were indeed aware of this based on the accounts reported to them. However, they both failed to obtain the evidence she received. Now with both the puzzle pieces assembled, Vince made a bold announcement.
”I'm aware of this and letting you speak earlier was my final way of showing mercy. With this report, including the account books and reports I have with me, I declare an external investigation on this matter.”
”External investigation?” Nyelle whispered and asked Edward.
”It actually gives the head office the jurisdiction to investigate what really happened. Furthermore, the matters of this company will be handled by the main office.” Edward explained.
”By main office are you talking about you and Vince?”
”Not only the two of us but everyone from the main branch.”
”Hmm… I see.”
As Vince continues to explain the things that will transpire to the managers, the two new couple continued to talk to each other. However, Nyelle is deeply bothered by Edward's smile.
”What is it that you're smiling about, Edward?” Nyelle finally asked.
”I'm just so proud of you. I just taught you the basics and that was for a short while yet you were able to grasp the idea.” Edward praised her.
”You're just saying that because….” Nyelle was unable to finish her sentence.
”Because?....” Edward continues to push her into confessing her feelings. But this time, Nyelle will not concede.
At last, Vince ended the meeting and hopeless with the CEO's decision, the managers left the room. Now, only the three of them remains.
”Thank you so much, Nyelle.” Vince sincerely expresses his gratitude.
”Hehehehe I actually don't deserve your praise. There were some areas of my report which could have been better.” Nyelle admitted.
”But without your report we would not be able to push through an investigation. Your report made this visit a successful one.” Edward encouraged her more.
”You look like a proud boyfriend.” Vince teases them.
”Of course I am!” Edward proclaimed and Nyelle blushed at his blunt response.
”Edward, stop being so thick-faced.” Nyelle said in embarrassment.
”It's fine Nyelle. I'm used to it. By the way, I would like to ask, do you have any idea on who was the lady who gave you these files?” Vince asked.
”No, I don't. But if I will see her face once more then I'll definitely recognize her.” Nyelle said with a hint of confidence in her tone.
”That's good! I will send you the pictures of the employees in this company who might have an access to the files.” Vince said.
”Okay.”
”That's enough, bro. Can we now focus on the main reason why you called Nyelle?” Edward asked in an irritated tone. His cousin has been talking to his girlfriend and stealing their time together.
”Thanks for reminding me. Let's go talk in my office then.” Vince stood up and instantly Nyelle followed closely.
”Why is there a need to go to your office? Why does it have to be just the two of you?” Edward asked a series of questions.
