Chapter 617
“Oh no! How did the director’s office catch on fire?!”
“I can smell the scent of cable burning.”
“An electrical fire?”
“Where’s the main switch?! Go switch it off!”
The entire department was thrown into chaos as they didn’t know where the switch box was and kept on searching
for it.
Conrad entered the huge office and saw a group of people searching around. He looked at the director’s office, and
it seemed to be filled with smoke and there was a shadow of a figure inside.
He immediately turned around and went to the corridor, found the switch box that was hidden behind a painting,
and cut off the power.
He then called security to extinguish the fire before running back to the department.
“Out, all of you! Now!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen they saw Conrad, all of them seemed to have got back their senses and left. A few of them followed him to
the director’s office.
In the smoky office, there was a woman coughing inside.
Conrad looked at the woman trying to save the folders inside the drawers, but the upper part of the drawer was
already burning.
“Come out!”
The woman seemed to not hear him.
“Get the heck out!” Conrad roared again, but she was still trying to save the documents.
Ashes fell on her, and she screamed, but she still didn’t stop.
Conrad’s face turned dark. This was his company, and everyone here was a member of his staff. He had the
responsibility to take care of all of them.
“Mr. Maxwell, don’t go in!”
“We’ve already called the firefighters!”
“They’ll come and extinguish the fire!”
The staff wanted to stop Conrad. But before they could even extend their hands, they already saw Conrad running
in.
“Are you out of your mind?!” Conrad caught the woman’s wrist, dragging her away.
“No! There are so many documents! Cough!” The woman fought back, wanting to save more documents.
Conrad was becoming very irritated. He threw all the documents in her arms to the ground and then dragged her
out of the office forcefully.
As soon as they got out of the office, he threw the woman to the floor.
Britney was thrown to the floor, and she cried out in fluster.
“So many documents… My sister said that the documents are in the drawer…”
Conrad looked at her sitting there coldly. Part of her hair was already singed and ash covered her face and body.
There were even some holes in her clothes.
However, he wasn’t touched by what the staff did. Instead, he felt that she was so stupid!
“Do you want to die in that fire so your sister can start a crusade against me?” Conrad yelled angrily.
All the staff from the Foreign Affairs Department looked at Conrad in shock. They all felt that Britney was too
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcourageous. None of them had her boldness.
However, they didn’t expect Conrad to give her any praise for her courage to help the company at all.
“No, I just want to save those documents,” Britney said sadly as her tears rolled down.
Conrad didn’t even want to spend the time looking at her anymore. It was then when he saw Tiger leading security
and bodyguards with the fire extinguishers.
He then said to the other staff, “Alright, out of here, everyone. Don’t stop them from extinguishing the flames!”
After that, he looked at Britney who was still sitting on the floor like an idiot. “You leave too!”
With that, he walked out and asked the other staff who were in the corridor about the fire.
Annie looked at her colleagues and quickly said, “We’re all working as usual. Suddenly, someone smelled the scent
of something burning. Britney was making coffee from the pantry and saw smoke coming from the director’s office.
“She then opened the door to the director’s office. The flames were stronger inside and we didn’t dare to get close.
She then ran in alone to save the documents.”
Annie was quite impressed with Britney’s bravery. When she saw that Conrad wasn’t
impressed by Britney, she specially added in more details.
Conrad stared at Annie coldly. “Are you saying that I should thank this fool?”
