Chapter 653

Stemme stepped into the lobby of the company building

As the employees arrived for work in the morning, men and women alike greeted Sterne with nods and cheerful greetings. “Good morning, Mr. Heller!”

How are you, Mr. Heller and more.

Sterne acknowledged these staff with a smile and a nod, “Morning…

As soon as he stepped into the building. Sterne, as the CEO, became the center of attention for everyone around.

He knew that maintaining a low profile was impossibile as a CEO, as people greeted him wherever he went.

At this moment, Sterne noticed that Gilmore and Claire had reached an elevator.

There was no need to guess that they intended to take the elevator upstairs.

But Sterne was aware that the floors above housed offices for different departments within the Kenda Company.

Gilmore and Claire were not employees of Kenda Company, so what was their purpose in going upstairs?

Steme frowned and immediately called out to a group of ten burly security guards stationed nearby, “Security, stop that map and that woman. Don’t let them trespass into our company’s office area.”

As Sterne shouted for the security team, he pointed at

Gilmore and Claire

As he shouted, arriving employees immediately turned their gazes to Gilmore and Claire.

They all wore curious expressions.

Why was their CEO, Mr. Heller, in such a hurry to have the security guards intercept two individuals?

Who were those two?

Responding to Sterne’s orders, the dozen burly security guards quickly surrounded Gilmore and Claire.

The security guards didn’t grasp why Sterne had suddenly instructed them to stop Gilmore and Claire.

However, as Sterne was the CEO, if he wanted them to stop the two, they should do just that, regardless of the

circumstances.

Gilmore and Claire, however, remained remarkably composed despite being surrounded by the security guards.

They seemed as if these security guards were nothing more than mere flies, almost like onlookers witnessing an unusual

situation

The employees in the lobby also stopped in their tracks, watching Gilmore, Claire, and Sterne with a growing sense of curiosity.

They were eager to find out what was happening.

Just then, Sterne walked over and stared at Gilmore and Claire, who were surrounded by the security guards. He coldly remarked, “You’re not even employees of the Kenda Company, yet you’re trying to intrude into our company’s headquarters. What’s your intention

Hearing Sterne’s words, the people around also noticed that Gilmore and Claire didn’t have employee badges on them.

Chapter 653

It became evident that these two individuals were not even employees of the Kenda Company headquarters?

What was their deal storming into the company like this?

Could they be up to some shady business, like thieves or something?

F

At this point, the dozen or so security guards also realized that Gilmore and Claire were not wearing their employee badges,

Their foreheads began to bead with cold sweat, realizing this was a massive slip–up in their work..

In the past, everyone entering and exiting the building was a company employee.

They never expected that two non–employees would slip in today.

Their oversight was inexcusable, especially for failing to notice that Gilmore and Claire were not wearing their employee badges.

It was a serious blunder.

It seemed like they had become too complacent, thinking that everything would always run smoothly without any issues.

But today, a problem had arisen, and it was the company’s CEO who had spotted it.

These security guards were all very concerned about th

b security from this point forward.

“Security, listen, take these two individuals downstairs for a thorough investigation. If they are thieves or have any suspicious intentions, immediately call the police, Sterne ordered the dozen security guards.

The dozen security guards wanted to make amends for their oversight and eagerly agreed to Sterne’s directive.

Then, the lead security officer, wearing a stern expression, glared at Gilmore and Claire and said. “Are you going to leave on your own, or should we escort you out?”

However, Gilmore remained unflinching and addressed the security guard, “Why should I leave? I am an employee of this company, and coming to my workplace is only natural.”

What Gilmore said wasn’t out of line, considering he was the second–largest shareholder of the Kenda Company.

So, in a way, he was as much a part of this company as anyone else

But the security guards were not convinced that Gilmore belonged to the company, or else their CEO, Mr. Heller, wouldn’t have ordered them to intercept Gilmore and Claire.

“Oh, you’re from the Kenda Company, and this is your workplace? As the CEO of the Kenda Company, how come I didn’t know anything about that?” Sterne mocked

Sterne harbored a deep hatred for Gilmore because of what had transpired two days ago when Gilmore had urged Mr. Vergil to oust him from the company.

This filled Sterne with a deep–seated hatred for Gilmore

Now, with Gilmore and Claire showing up at the Kenda Company, Sterne was convinced they were here to discuss the exclusive operating rights.

If he didn’t take this chance to thoroughly humiliate Gilmore, how could he ever satisfy his grudge?

As Sterne’s words came out, the employees who were watching the spectacle began to point fingers at Gilmore and Claire.

“Mr. Heller is right!”

“He claims to be an employee of the company, but has anyone seen him before?”

“I’ve never seen him.”

“Without even an employee badge, he clearly doesn’t belong to the company.”

It seemed that these employees were trying to gain favor with Sterne, and so they all joined in questioning Gilmore.

However, Gilmore was unfazed by their skeptical remarks.

Gilmore looked at Sterne and explained, “Sterne, Lapologize, but both Claire and I joined the Kenda Company just last night, so it’s completely normal that you wouldn’t know us,”

Sterne had lost his patience by now, and anger flared in his eyes. He ordered the security guards, “This guy is just talking

nonsense.

“Drag them away right now. We can’t let them disrupt the company’s normal operations.”

“Yes, Mr. Heller,” the lead security officer acknowledged.

Then the lead security officer, with a menacing glare, commanded the other security guards, “Get them

With this order, the other burly security guards attacked Gilm id Claire, revealing a fierce and intimidating demeanor.

The faces of the male and female employees in the surrounding crowd bore a hint of mockery.

They were all thinking. These two are playing with fire. They don’t work here, but they just won’t leave, practically daring, the company’s security guards to step in.

It’s crystal clear that they are asking for a serious beatdown from those beefy guards, and a one–way ticket to the police station is pretty much guaranteed.”

They had no sympathy for Gilmore and Claire, believing the two intruders had brought it upon

themselves.

But then, a series of thudding sounds followed by one agonized cry after another echoed through the hall..

Soon, one by one, the burly security guards were sent flying and landed hard on the floor.

All the security guards wore expressions of pain, gritting their teeth and moaning in agony. Their bodies appeared as if they had been disassembled, and not one of them could stand up.

This left everyone in the crowd completely
