It was her first time making such a careless mistake, and she felt embarrassed.
The finance manager shook his head.
"I can overlook mistakes, but this time the higher-ups found out and specifically called for you."
Lilian froze.
"The… higher-ups?"
The manager nodded.
"Yes, our big boss, Mr. Morrison."
"But I don't think it's a big deal. He'll probably just give you a warning."
Seeing Lilian almost in tears, the manager quickly reassured her. He didn't know about her relationship with Morrison and always thought they were just friends or colleagues. So he wasn't too worried about the mistake.
But what he didn't know was what had really happened—otherwise, why would Lilian look so close to tears?
Also, the manager was a bit puzzled. She'd made other, even worse mistakes before, but none had escalated to this level. This time she was directly summoned to the top floor.
Back in her office, Lilian revised the report and took the elevator up to the top floor.
