?
Roy stared at him, "What do you mean?"
Joseph finished his coffee. Putting down the cup, he seemed to be thinking. Soon, as he raised his eyes, everything turned to be peaceful, "Nothing. The business field is just like the battlefield. Just be careful. That's it."
Roy looked at him, seeming to think.
Joseph didn't say anything and just stood up. He was to leave.
As his fingers touched the doorknob, Roy's voice came.
"Joseph."
Joseph stopped and turned around.
Roy looked serious, "As for my father and Ruby's deaths, do you have any suspects?"
"I am the biggest suspect." Joseph looked calm.
Roy shook his head, "No, I trust you."
"Thank you very much."
"I must find the person."
Joseph said lightly, "It's not easy. This person has made a perfect plan since the case in South Africa occurred."
Roy got frightened, "South Africa? Do you mean the attack case? It was ordered by my mother."
"No. It's not your mother." Joseph said firmly, "Your mother just ordered someone to track us. Actually, there was another one who shot us. He was very smart. He could do it by the name of your mother. Once I had died there, your mother would have been the scapegoat.
Roy stood up suddenly, "It sounds like this person is so dangerous. Joseph, we cannot just let him in peace."
"Roy, just be the director. You cannot investigate everything by your own will. Even if you have the result, it may be shocking."
"You mean..."
"I believe that law is fair. Let the police deal with it." Joseph said word by word.
Joseph had so many things in the office. Except for some things that could be packed in boxes, all the clothes in his lounge were delivered by express. Daisy helped him with it. She looked terrible. Many times, she wanted to say anything, but she just gave up.
Joseph put the photo frame on the desk into the box, saying lightly, "Daisy, just say what you want to."
Daisy stopped and just looked at Joseph, "Mr. Dover, it's not worth leaving."
"Nothing is worthwhile or not in the world. It's just up to the person." Joseph sealed his box. His voice was still light, saying, "Please help Roy. You are the only one he can trust in the company."
"But..."
"Daisy, I know what you want to say. You don't need to complain about it for me. Leaving is the best solution." Joseph interrupted her.
Daisy closed her lips lightly and then stood there, looking at him.
It was at noon. The light was a little tilting. The shadow was shining on his cheek by the window. His handsome face was half covered in the light. From this perspective, he seemed not to be as serious as usual. His eyebrows also softened a lot. He just closed his lips lightly, not tightly.
Seeing him, Daisy was a little upset. She even wanted to cry.
She has been with him for so many years since he was only in charge of a department in a branch of the Runestone Group. She went through so many difficulties with him. At the very beginning, he was in the Sales Department as a salesperson. Each month he had to finish his quota. If he couldn't make it, he had to leave at once.
The Lakes didn't take good care of him only because of his identity. From the director to the manager of a department, each step was hard for him. Staying up as usual. He made the most of every day. He had to change several pairs of shoes each month. It was not because he had to match his dress, but that he had to walk all the time.
When he finally became the manager of a department, he bought a car with his commission. He directly gave it to his brother just because he liked it. And then, he still went to work by bus or subway while other managers drove their cars to develop business. As a result, his shoes were often broken.
At that time, Daisy was young and aggressive. She couldn't understand why he just did that. She thought that Jordan was still a student. He didn't need to drive such a good-quality car. However, Joseph still smiled and said, "My brother likes it. Moreover, I need to develop a business. It's not suitable to drive a racing car to make deals with someone."
Daisy thought that his racing car was only bought for his brother.
He was able and smart. He knew much about the art of sales, knowing how to achieve the best results in what kind of ways for specific products. When he became the senior director, he often told his followers, "Do not think of yourself as a good marketing salesman since you've sold it out. It only stands for that you are a salesperson. What does a good marketing sale require? It's different from a salesperson. A marketing sale needs to gain the largest interests in the best way."
At that time, Daisy knew that she had a good boss. He was far-sighted. What he cared about was not short-term interests but long-term and developing ones.
Just in that year, he had gastrorrhagia because of drinking too much.
And at the same time, he was promoted most frequently.
Next year, he was promoted to the Marketing Running Department, responsible for all the branch markets and the Sales Department's management. Under his leadership, the diamond mines were exploited and developed to the biggest degree. In the same year, he went to South Africa and Russia to learn about the diamond mines' situation there.
One year later, he stood out among many competitors and became the general manager, responsible for the exploitation and development of the whole European market. The higher his position was, the busier he was. He was busy with the issues of diamond mines in all countries and business entertainment. He was sensitive to diamonds as he was still young. He learned how to polish a diamond at an early stage from a famous teacher. So, when the Product Processing Department and Design Department were not convinced by his suggestion, he just took out a raw stone authenticated by an appraiser as bad-quality, drawing lines, polishing, designing, packaging, and advertising, which took him almost one month. The next month, the diamond was sold at a price twenty times higher than its own value.
Everyone thumbed at him.
Daisy was also promoted, but she was still his assistant. She could have had a better choice, but she just wanted to be his assistant.
In this way, during his years abroad, Daisy witnessed how he became a successor to an infamous man. His hard work paid back, and he also became more and more charming as time went by.
