Chapter 272 Many Years Ago (Seven)

• Upon hearing Kate Penrose's words, Chadwick Fullner fell silent. After a moment, he spoke, "I apologize, Kate Penrose. I had no idea he would act in such a manner. I am sorry on his behalf. Perhaps he had an urgent matter at home that required his immediate attention, leading him to leave without formally resigning. How about this - you can deduct his wages and consider it a dismissal. As for legal action... let's put that aside. Pursuing a lawsuit against the company can be quite cumbersome. Deducting his wages can serve as a form of reprimand."
• "Am I concerned about his salary? How much he earns is not my focus. What I value are the company's regulations. What is paramount in a company? Rules. Rules are the cornerstone on which a company thrives. Chadwick Fullner, you have violated these rules. Now your associate has gone a step further, completely disregarding both me and the company's regulations. If I do not take decisive action against him this time, what will become of my reputation? What will become of the company's reputation? And most importantly, I am furious, extremely furious. Therefore, no matter how much you plead, it will not sway my decision this time. I will strictly adhere to the terms of the company's contract. If you continue to be absent for seven days without completing the resignation procedures, it will constitute a breach of contract. The legal department will prepare the necessary documentation for court proceedings. That's final, I will follow through with my words," Kate Penrose stated before ending the call.
• As the phone buzzed in his hand, Chadwick Fullner felt a wave of frustration wash over him. He couldn't comprehend why Keith Branwell would act in such a manner. Regardless, if one decides to leave, they should follow protocol and handle the resignation procedures at the company.
