THE DEVIL'S LOVER
Part 5's. One Step Backward

Author POV.

That crazy witch is indeed looking to die! Who does he think he is?! Already acting he could be CEO, now he thinks he can control this office.

David Montgomery swore in his heart, before he called his assistant.

"Carmen, have they doused him with coffee, I see he's fine."

"They've done it but..."

"But what."

"The HRD director called them and threatened to cancel their 5-year salary increase and eventually they had to change 1,000 dollars each to Carla."

"The HRD director supports it?!" Why can the HRD Director support him when the girl just came to this division? Now David can't figure out what's going on. He didn't know it was arranged by his uncles.

"That's what I hear sir."

"Didn't they set it up like a collision or something? Why can the HRD Director directly say he's going to fire them."

"Say they're on CCTV cameras. They don't dare rejoin our plans because Mr. Alan threatened to fire all three of them if there was any more incident involving them."

"Tomorrow does anyone bother him again?"

"There, tomorrow Jonny and Ellis will work on it. They're gonna scratch his car and deflate his tires this afternoon."

"Ohh so."

"good. Let's see how long he's able to survive all that interference."

Of course once the experiment was not enough, David Montgomery still had many other loyal supporters, who hoped their services could take them to dinner with the heir to the famous hotel chain.

Yes, that afternoon Carla's car was scratched long and her car's tires were flat. Carla had to leave the car in her parking lot. But he predicted that. In his car, he left the recorder's camera just in case. He almost certainly happened not long because at 2 o'clock he was down to pick up something in the parking lot but nothing.

After all, an office car is not a private car.

The next day he sat again at 1.15 pm in the meeting room, with the help of Mr. Alan threatening them and getting 2,000 dollars, a total of two days he got 5,000 dollars, he said, a wonderful gift of misfortune that Satan tried to inflict upon him. He enjoys this, and he shares this pleasure with Mr. Alan.

"Miss Carla, we've earned 5,000 dollars in extra cash these days, maybe tomorrow there's more. I'll look forward to it." Mr. Alan laughed after they finished the second threatening session.

"I wish there was, maybe they'd put 10,000 dollars away so we could have a little party."

They both laughed together.

Carla instead hopes someone tries again to sabotage something, should the person be close enough to David so that he can point at it directly.

The third day no one dared to go anymore. It seems that they have learned enough from the previous two events, but Carla is sure that she will not stop twice.

Obviously David didn't stop after knowing HRD somehow supported Carla. He came to Alan himself.

"Alan, why are you helping the new Director of Finance." Alan knew David was coming. But because it's the CEO's orders, but CEO Gabriel doesn't want David to know it's what they're doing. So he and Carla have an alibi.

"He who pressured me if I didn't help him I'd be implicated in the embezzlement of Sir's funds. He's gonna do an audit in my department. He's involved with some big shareholders, and in a position on the wind . I don't want my career to be ruined. I can't go against Miss Carla's wishes." Alan said the reason smoothly.

They've been thinking about how to answer it of course, as Carla said, his uncle only holds 15%, there's still 85% beyond that. So other shareholders obviously have an interest in putting down people they trust.

"Did that witch really have that much support."

"I heard so Sir. Your Uncle may not have a choice, maybe a shareholder you heard something about you, that shareholder might have deliberately put him here. I don't want to interfere with this but I think your Uncle's intent is for your good. I'm guessing your Uncle desperately defended you by saying Your job is good. Sara thinks you'd better not fight her again Sir,..."

A piece of advice that Alan had thought of and talked about with Carla would be his and How to agree. They hope this dear nephew doesn't look for trouble anymore.

Unfortunately, that was an empty hope. This demon would not give up so quickly.
