Expert Down The Mountain by Summer

Chapter 33

Kayson saw Faris after getting out of the elevator. After seeing Faris’ emotional gaze, he knew

everything would be fine today.

However, he furrowed his eyebrows instantly at the sight of Faris approaching him in a rush as he was

about to call out to him. Thus, he signaled with his eyes. Faris was very good at observing people, so

he understood the situation instantly upon seeing Kayson’s insinuation.

“May I inquire where Ms. Wolfenden is?”

He retracted his gaze that was fixed on Kayson in time and turned to look at Sean.

“Ms. Wolfenden… is right behind us. She’ll be here soon.” Sean looked at Faris suspiciously. He

remembered hearing Faris call out ‘Mr. Yar’ earlier, yet he changed his remark to ‘May’ in an instant.

Sean did not have the time to ponder further, so he said in a respectful tone, “Mr. Cook, Ms. Wolfenden

is still young, and she may be relatively impulsive in her behavior—” “Hehehe, Mr. Batley, that’s quite

inappropriate for you to say that. Is being young an excuse for one to make mistakes?” Miles led River

and the others to them.

Meanwhile, Faris came to realize that Miles seemed to be opposing Sadie!

His expression changed because he realized he was behaving too courteously with Miles earlier.

Meanwhile, the elevator door opened, and Sadie walked out of the elevator looking fatigued.

She saw Faris at one glance and inhaled a deep breath. Faris approached her swiftly as she was about

to step forward to acknowledge her mistake.

“Ms. Wolfenden! It’s a pleasure to meet you. My name is Faris Cook!”

Faris extended his hand solemnly and behaved in a very courteous manner. Sadie appeared

bewildered, and she was shocked in her heart.

“M-Mr. Cook… You’re too modest!” Sadie extended her hand uneasily and shook Faris’ hand briefly.

Faris appeared to be feeling guilty and said in a self-blaming tone, “Ms. Wolfenden, I found out about

the incident last night. Archer is such aj*rk!”

Upon saying that, he looked to Archer, who stood not far away and berated coldly. “Come here!”

Archer made his way to Sadie in a flurry.

Archer bowed in front of everyone and said in a pleading tone, “It was at fault last night, Ms.

Wolfenden. Please forgive me and not lower yourself to my level. I understand what I did was wrong!”

Archer begged for forgiveness by repeatedly bowing with tears and snot running down his face.

Sadie was astounded upon witnessing the scene and wondered whether this person was still the ever-

arrogant Archer she met last night. Faris kicked Archer and said in a deep voice, “Ms. Wolfenden, I’ve

already looked into Archer’s behavior, and it pains me to learn of what he did. I feel extremely ashamed

and guilty for what transpired!

“I’ve also looked into the Petrichor Park that you’ve been managing, and I combed through the project

all night to inform you in all certainty, Ms. Wolfenden.

“There is no issue with the Petrichor Park project at all. In fact, one can even describe its safety and

quality as outstanding! “I have already fired Archer and reexamined all his in-hand projects once!

“Moreover, he has been abusing his power for his personal gains on multiple occasions. I will hand him

to the judicial authorities to be brought to trial!”

Sadie exhaled in relief at this very moment, while Sean and the others were overjoyed after the

momentary shock.

However, Miles, River, and the others appeared displeased, as if they were forced to do something

against their wishes. Miles’ eyes were filled with unwillingness and anger. ‘How is this happening? Why

did it turn out this way? ‘Faris is actually not here to penalize Sadie but to bring Archer and seek

Sadie’s forgiveness?

F*ck! Miles cussed under his breath. ‘What the heck is going on!?’ Next to him, River’s face was green

with anger. He glanced at Miles, who had been suppressing his anger and felt just as furious. ‘Didn’t he

say that he would cause Sadie’s downfall?

“The current situation is completely different from what he claimed it would be!’

‘Let alone causing Sadie’s downfall, even the Petřichor Park project got a happy ending.’ Sadie inhaled

a deep breath, and her face’s paleness faded gradually. She then revealed a bright smile.

“Mr. Cook, it’s uncomfortable to stand here. Why don’t we head upstairs and talk more while we have a

cup of coffee?”

She was very puzzled and wondered why Faris would treat her so courteously.

“Sure! The best way to show my respect is by accepting your invitation!” Faris chuckled and darted a

look toward Kayson, standing by the side.

Then, he said to Sadie, “Ms. Wolfenden, please order the security to watch over Archer because the

police are about to arrive soon.”

Sadie nodded. “Sure, thank you so much, Mr. Cook.”

She was in a very good mood now that her anger had been vented.

Meanwhile, the elevator door opened.

“This way, please, Mr. Cook!”

“You first, Ms. Wolfenden!”

Sadie’s expression was strange. ‘Faris Cook treats me with such politeness, huh? What the heck is

going on!?’ Faris entered the elevator, looked at Sean and the others smilingly, and said, “Mr. Batley,

will you and your colleagues join us?”

“Uh…”

Sean hesitated briefly before he saw Sadie’s expression and answered soon afterward, “Thank you for

extending the invitation, Mr. Cook.”

Upon saying that, he led Kayson and the other three project department leaders to enter the elevator.

Faris took a nonchalant glance at Miles and the other few displeased-looking people. “Which

department is that person leading?” Faris asked Sadie and feigned his forgetfulness. Sadie’s

expression was cold as she replied smilingly, “He’s the CFO of the company.” “Ah!” Faris behaved as if

he was enlightened. “Why does he look like a cunning, crafty man?” Miles’ expression changed

drastically, and he clenched his fists in anger! In the meantime, the elevator door shut slowly.

Miles’ eyes were bloodshot in anger as he looked at Sadie’s delighted gaze.

This is absurd!

Sensing Miles’ anger, River refused to trigger Miles’ anger even more.

“Mr. Lawson, I shall head upstairs first because I still have work to do.” River was in a bad mood as

well.

The rest of the department leaders left without uttering a word either.

Miles stood on the same spot by himself, his expression gloomy. He glared at the elevator door in

frustration because he had nowhere to vent his anger.

He returned to his office and kicked over the water dispenser. “F*ck you! Sadie, you’re a b*tch!” His

exasperated, raging voice echoed in the office.
