When A Woman Retaliates - Chapter 86

Lisa knocked on the door nervously and prepared herself for a good scolding.

“Come in” a gloomy voice came from the office.

Lisa didn’t enter into the office immediately.  She peaked into the office and made sure that no one else was in there. She didn’t want to be scolded in front of others.

After making sure that Mr. Ahmed was alone, she went inside timidly.

“Uncle, sorry I let you down.” Lisa spoke in a low voice. Although she usually called him ‘Sir’ in the office, today she decided to call him ‘uncle’.

“I thought you would never come.” Mr. Ahmed came sarcastically.  The incident happened in the morning and she came to plead guilty in the afternoon.

“I was not procrastinating.  I was trying to investigate the incident. ” Lisa felt wronged.

“So what did you find?” Mr. Ahmed raised his eyebrows.

Lisa informed him about the whole incident and pleaded guilty without finding any excuse for herself,

“It was my fault. If I had been  careful enough, they could not have succeeded. I am really sorry.” her eyes became teary and voice became nasal.

After spending almost 5years of being a boss, Lisa understood very well that men liked women to show weakness but bosses didn’t like their employees to be to weak.

So Lisa had invented a path between them. Whenever she was in these situations,  she would  pinch herself to bring tear and stubbornly hold back her tears- perfect co-ordination of both strength and weakness. It would seem like she was really sorry for her actions and was ready to shoulder every hardship.  It was really tricky at first but she became proficient later.

Sure enough,  Mr. Ahmed”s expression gradually softened.

“Come her and sit down. We will discuss the problem in details. ”

Lisa sat on the chair and hung her head down.

Mr. Ahmed was really surprised to see Lisa like this. He had thought that she would find excuses for herself as usual.  She hardly ever admitted her mistakes. So her attitude really surprised and pleased him.

Of course, if he had heard the conversation between her and Liton, he would have understood that a leopard can not change his spots. Without his persuasion,  she would have really blamed everything on Tuli and found various excuses for herself.

It was Lisa’s good luck that although Mr. Ahmed arranged surveillance at her office, he had never eavesdropped on her private conversation with her family.

“Tell me about your plan.” Mr. Ahmed broke the silence.

“We have to contact a new company for the materials as soon as possible. If we can not start work within one month, we won’t be able to finish the work before deadline.” Lisa began to explain her plan.

“So? Contact them.” Mr. Ahmed agreed with her.

“But the fund…it is tight. It is impossible to contact famous companies.” Lisa hesitated.

“It doesn’t matter if the company is famous as long as the materials are good.” Mr. Ahmed never been prejudiced. “Within 3days, you will find the companies who will be able to supply the materials. If it takes longer, it will be difficult to hide it from the shareholders. After 3days, I will hold a board meeting.  You will explain everything to them. Moreover,  file a missing report about Tuli at the police station.”

“Listen to you.” Lisa nodded eagerly. Although the time was tight, she was not in the position to complain.

However, after thinking about a matter, Lisa began ti hesitate.

“If you want to say something…just say.” Mr. Ahmed looked at her constipated look and urged her to speak.

“I sent some employees to inspect the warehouse and construction area. They said that everything was ok….would it be ok to punish them?” Lisa asked for his permission because most of them were her seniors and well respected at the company. If this job wasn’t reserved for Ruhan, they could easily be promoted as the project manager.

“As long as you have proof, you can do whatever you want.” Mr. Ahmed permitted her.

After Lisa left, Baki entered into the office.

“Sir,” he hesitated, “Lisa madam has been occupying this position for too long. Should we use this chance to demote her?”

They were supposed to demote her soon after they dug up her allies. But unfortunately they hid too deep.

“No hurry” Mr. Ahmed smiled devilishly.

His smile made Baki tremble with fear.

Looks like someone is going to run out of luck!!!!
