“This way, Mr. Quinn.” Sabrina stepped forward and politely gestured at where Harper was expected to go. Harper’s face immediately darkened. Still, he did not say anything.
He merely stood up and took a few steps. forward while staring at Timothy with dark eyes. With a faint smile on his lips, he said, “Good luck to you, Mr. Reinhart.”
He then left the room. Timothy paid no heed to him and returned to his office. Moments later, Sabrina knocked on his door and walked in. “He has left, Mr. Reinhart.
Despite her attempts to hide her worry, it still showed on her face when she spoke. Timothy noticed the look on her face and pulled her over to the couch. ‘Why do you look so worried? Are you scared?”
“I am a little worried. Harper Quinn is not a good man, and he’s especially narrow-minded and spiteful.”
Sabrina nodded and continued to explain her worries. “I’m worried he’ll try some other tactic after we reject him. You have to be very careful from now on. That person would do anything to get what he wants.”
Timothy was surprised to hear her say that. “You know Harper?”
“I don’t personally, but I have heard of him.”
She shook her head as she explained. One should keep one’s friends close, and one’s enemies closer; Timothy had her tell him every rumor she heard.
“The worst incident I can remember is when Harper took a liking to a plot of land. For some reason, another company bought the land instead. However, in a few days, a murder happened on that land. Things kept happening. People said it was cursed, so no one dared to work on that plot of land because they were afraid they might die.
Later on, the family investigated the rumors and murder to find that Harper was the mastermind behind everything. They did not have any proof though, so they had to swallow the loss and give him the land essentially for free.”
Sabrina told him everything she knew. When she was done, Timothy had a basic understanding of Harper. It was evident that Harper was an unscrupulous man who thought the end justified the means. “I understand. I’ll be careful.”
His eyes then darkened. “It looks like we have to tell the planning department to work faster. We must settle this collaboration with the Sawyer Group before Harper can do anything.”
Sabrina wholeheartedly agreed with that. As long as they were business partners of Sawyer Group, Harper would have to hold back no matter how strong he was. “I’ll go tell them to hurry now.”
She was about to leave when Timothy pulled her back. “That’s actually not important right now.”
“What?” She had asked without thinking. When she saw the cold look on his face, she immediately realized what he meant.
The smartwatch was a project only the core members of the company knew about. Logically speaking, Harper should not have known about it.
It was clear that someone was selling company secrets. Sabrina sat back down and analyzed the situation. “Only a few people know about this. It’s easy for us to find out who did it.”
“It is easy, but we cannot be too obvious about our investigation. There are too many people watching. Henry is a blabbermouth. He would say anything the moment he takes a sip of alcohol. The only one I can trust is you. I plan to let you handle the investigation. Can you do it?”
Timothy looked at her with a solemn gaze.
Sabrina nodded without hesitation. “It is my duty to share your burden. I’ll investigate this and find out just who was bold enough to sell out company secrets!”
“Thank you.”
Touched by her declaration, Timothy held her hands. She smiled and shook her head. ‘We will harshly punish the culprit once we find them. We cannot tolerate traitors in this company.”
The two continued to chat for a while before she left his office to investigate the traitor. However, when it was time to clock off, Sabrina had yet to find the person who sold them out. That-brought her mood down.
