That Can Be Arranged

Chapter 268

Chapter 268 Tessa’s heart wrenched even harder for her brother at that and she sighed with a nod. “Okay, so are we going home now?” To that, Timothy shook his head. “I’m going home later because there’s a bunch of work to do at the company. Now that I have the extra time, I can get them all done.” At first, Tessa wanted to advise him not to work so tirelessly, but when she recalled how lost she was when she lost her job previously, she thought that he wouldn’t be bored to tears if she let him go to work; at least, he still had a job. The last thing she wanted to see was her brother depressed, so she didn’t try to talk him around “Okay, I’m going with you, then. At the same time, I can buy the employees some refreshments or something to cheer them up.” As the Sawyer Group had made a clarification earlier, many aspects of the company were going smoothly now. Hence, when they walked into the company, they heard the sounds of keyboards tapping; it was completely void of the chattering it used to have as everyone was working seriously.

Seeing everyone engrossed in work, Tessa was also a little delighted. Looks like Tim’s company is running well. Taking out the refreshments, she placed it gently on their desks, and the employees spun their heads around in surprise. When they saw that it was her, they exclaimed happily, “Thanks, Tessa!” Smiling, she answered, “You guys have been working hard. Have something to drink to relieve some tiredness. Work is important, but more so your health.” “You’re so kind, Tessa.” Grinning happily, the programmers thanked her. In the early days of the company’s establishment, Tessa would come here often to reward them. Even though they hadn’t officially set up the company yet and were kind of free, she didn’t tell them off at all. Similarly, everyone in the company had a very good impression of her, taking her as their own elder sister and were always happy to see her.

At this, Tessa’s real brother just turned a blind eye to it. Well, what could he do since his sister was such a likable person? So, Tessa stayed in the company and chatted with them for a while to help them unwind while Timothy went to look for Henry with a drink. The moment he walked into Henry’s office, he saw that the most bubbly person in the company was actually sitting in a daze. Unwittingly, he was puzzled and went to tap him on the shoulder, passing him the drink. “What happened? Why the long face?” When Henry lifted his head and saw that it was Timothy, he forced out a smile and took the drink from him. After he opened it, he took a huge gulp and lowered his head again, looking very distressed. At the same time, Tessa didn’t want to disrupt the other employees at work and came in as well. Upon seeing Henry’s bitter face, she assumed that he was upset that Timothy was punished by the university. As Timothy was a rather well-known person in the university, the news that he was punished because he hit someone had already spread throughout the campus. Even if the both of them didn’t say anything, Henry must have heard about it as well. The both of them had always been great friends. If something happened to Timothy, Henry would be the first to stand out, just like the last time at the bar. And now that he heard Bruce had set up a trap for Timothy and caused him a huge demerit, he was probably more agitated than Timothy himself. Next to her, Timothy had the same idea, and he flashed Henry a smile. “It’s fine, I was merely given a demerit, which will be written off sooner or later. It’s great that I don’t have to go for classes now because I’ll have time to be in the company and not bump into Bruce.” Instantly, Henry jerked his head up, looking at him in disbelief. “You have a demerit? What happened?” In a few simple words, Timothy told him what happened, skipping the part where Bruce made assumptions about him and Tessa. Even after that, the expression on Henry’s face became even more distressed, and he said in a huff, “What’s happening now? Why are all of you in trouble? I really.

From this, Tessa could tell that Henry didn’t know about this, and probably something else happened on his side as well. “Forget about what happened to Tim. The demerit is already done and there’s nothing we can do to change that now. What happened at your side?” “It’s not about the company but my dad. Today, he was investigated out of the blue and his unit wants to fire him,” Henry said while grabbing his hair in frustration.
