My Substitute CEO Bride romance Capítulo 754

His gums were bleeding from where they were cut by the small stone, but he dared not spit it out. How could he when someone from the Inspection Department had eaten the food here?

Not to mention, he was the manager of the Life Department who was responsible for cafeteria procurement.

The mashed potatoes were really dry, making it difficult to swallow. The woman placed a full bowl of chowder in front of Arnauld and said, "Mr. Schwartz, please enjoy."

Ignoring the saltiness of the chowder, Arnauld lifted the rim of the bowl to his lips and took huge gulps of the liquid with his eyes closed. When he put down the bowl, the expression on his face was utterly miserable. Was this chowder even meant for human consumption?

Nash sat upright and asked calmly, "Who established the rule about fines in the cafeteria?"

A slight tremor ran through Arnauld at that. His worst fear had come true—the Inspection Department was indeed here to investigate him.

Putting down the bowl, Arnauld forced a fawning smile on his face as he replied, "It’s shameful to waste food. Some pressure is necessary to make sure they don’t do so!"

Nash nodded. "Continue eating for now."

Arnauld did not seem to have noticed the severity of the situation yet, so it was time for Nash to deal with him properly.

Arnauld looked embarrassed as he replied, "I'm not hungry. I really can't eat anymore."

An almost imperceptible smile crossed Frankie’s face as he said, "That's not what you said on the phone just now. Are you trying to disrespect Mr. Calcraft?”

"No, no, I wouldn't dare! I-I’ll eat…”

Arnauld stuttered with an awkward smile and continued to eat heartily. It was obvious that Frankie and the new inspector were here to cause trouble for him.

They might give him a pass if he cooperated with them and behaved well. If he offended them, however, the situation might not end so easily.

By then, the second batch of employees were done with their shifts, and those who knew Mr. Schwartz were surprised to see him eating on the first floor. It kicked off discussions among the young men and women.

Feeling remorseful, Arnauld said, "I only found out today that the staff meals are so unbearable. I'll look into this later and quickly improve the employees' meals as well as abolish the cafeteria fine system!"

Nash and Frankie stared at Arnauld with deep gazes. If Frankie had not conducted his investigation, they might have believed that it was the work of Arnauld's subordinates and not him.

However, based on what Frankie had found, Arnauld had embezzled over eight million annually in cafeteria procurement expenses.

Sensing a heavy pressure from the two of them, Arnauld narrowed his eyes and said, "You two don’t look like you trust me.”

Nash stood up slowly and calmly said, "Come to the Inspection Department for a visit once you’re done."

With that, he left with Frankie.

Arnauld watched their retreating figures, his expression turning increasingly gloomy.
