My Substitute CEO Bride romance Capítulo 763

Nash looked up at Willow and said, "Your aunt called me just now. She pleaded for you. Considering your aunt's dedication and loyalty, I'll let you go this time. If this happens again, I won't just dismiss you but also your aunt."

Sandra's phone call requesting for mercy could be seen as her vouching for Willow. If Willow were to repeat the offense, as her guarantor, Sandra would also face consequences.

Upon hearing that her aunt had pleaded on her behalf, Willow imagined how her aunt must have humbled herself to make the request.

Feeling like she had burdened her aunt, Willow's eyes turned red as she said through choked sobs, "Mr. Calcraft, thank you for giving me this chance. I'll return all the kickbacks I received to the company.”

Admittedly, she did not make much from the kickbacks as most of it went to Arnauld from the Life Department. She made, at most, just over a million. Over the past few months, she had spent more than 200 grand on luxury items. She could borrow that sum from her aunt to cover that gap.

Nash smiled faintly. "This is the right attitude to have when you’re admitting your mistakes. As the director of the Inspection Department, I should treat everyone equally. However, your aunt has indeed dedicated a lot to the company, so I hope you won't disappoint her in the future."

Tears streamed down Willow's face as she replied, "No, I'll never hurt my aunt's feelings again."

Nash waved his hand. "You can go now."

Willow lowered her head respectfully to Nash and Frankie. "Thank you, thank you both!"

After saying that, Willow wiped her tears and turned to leave.

"Setting this precedent isn’t actually a good idea. If this were politics, what we did might be seen as favoritism and a deviation from justice," Frankie said with mixed feelings. He admired Nash's style of handling things but also felt somewhat uncomfortable.

"Well, this isn’t politics. It’s good for us to show a bit of a human touch," Nash said with a faint smile.

Universal Group in Jonford had too many internal problems, and Sandra's ability to maintain ethical standards in the company was commendable. It would not be an exaggeration to say she was a rare positive force in the company.

Why should an outstanding employee like her not be given a bit of special treatment?

No longer wanting to dwell on the previous topic, Frankie smiled and asked, "Shall we go to the Finance Department next?"

"You can go back to work. I can handle this one," Nash replied.

In the front, acting as the driver, Atlas was quite displeased. Neither of the two maids he hired knew how to drive. Was it appropriate for him, the distinguished young sir of the Jonford Kennedys, to act as their chauffeur?

"Eric, let's take a photo!" Winnie leaned against Eric.

The young woman's scent mixed with that of her shower gel, tickling Eric's senses. His mouth went dry as he felt his heart stir. He was seriously beginning to wonder if this little enchantress was intentionally tempting him.

His robes were tenting slightly. Eric crossed his legs together, smiling as he struggled to make a peace sign with his hand.

Winnie looked happily at the photos on her phone. "This will be my phone wallpaper from now on. It should be able to ward off evil spirits, right?"

Eric laughed. "With a Heavenly Master present, all evil spirits and demons will keep their distance!"

Just as he said that, Eric's gaze suddenly sharpened. "Something is happening at De'anne Cemetery. Let’s go there first!"
