The King's Mandate: Anomalous System

As usual, Das and Elena were in the counseling room.

Das was in the meeting, and Elena was trying to study.

Even though Das was in the meeting, he glanced at Elena every minute to make sure she was studying.

"So, how much was it initially?" Das typed.

[Our assets are fine, Sir] answered Andrew.

"Then what's the problem? I checked the reports, and we should be in profit, but we aren't. We are losing 43% of our last month's revenue. And if we include the profit, then it's total 78%."

[Yes, Sir]

"So tell me, where did it go?"

[I sent you the exact report, Sir. We have been trying to find the cause, but we can't]

"Do you remember what did I tell you when you joined my company?"

[Yes, Sir. I know it, and I remember it. But I swear Sir, I am not behind this]

"I don't care, do something, or I will kill your family right in front of you, and then I will kill you."

[Our revenue with our expenses ends with 1%. That means the profit should be higher than it is shown in the reports]

"Someone has messed with the reports, and instead of decreasing it by 80%, they have mistakenly decreased it by 20%."

[Are you saying that there is a traitor between us?]

"What else?"

[I don't believe it, Sir. I don't think anyone can do something like that. Especially when they know what you can do if they get caught]

"Looks like they don't really know it. Send me the list of all your employees again."

[Sir, I take full responsibility. They are not the types of persons who can betray for some monies]

"Then what should I do now? Do you really want me to come there and inspect everything on my own?"

[No, Sir. Give me one more hour.]

"What can you do in one hour?"

[I will check all the deals we had made in the past month]

"How will that help?"

[We had a collaboration last week, and more than thirty companies took part in that]

"Hmm. Who had the winning bid?"

[It's the company you helped out a lot last year]

"..."

'I was just looking at the profit. I don't care about anything else.'

[Sir?]

"What position is that country?"

[It's on the 12th place]

"What about us?"

[Are you joking or being serious, Sir?]

"Both, actually."

[We are on the fourth spot as always]

Das was typing something, but he got another message from Andrew.

[Sir, one important news]

"What is it?"

[We lost all our assets and shares]

"What?! How?! When did that happen?!"

[Just when I was talking with you, Sir]

Das was enduring his anger because Elena was in front of him.

He wanted to smash his laptop screen and yell on the top of his lungs but held back because of Elena.

"How much did we lost? What shares?"

[We are bankrupt, Sir. We lost everything]

Das just sat there with his hands still on the keyboard of his laptop.

[Sir?]

Das rubbed his forehead and typed, "What place are we now."

[I can't see us in the first five hundred]

"And?"

[The company we were just talking about…]

"Hmm? What about it?"

[I think you should see it yourself] Andrew sent this message with a link.

Das moved his cursor to the link and tapped on it.

A second later, a chart appeared on the screen.

Das frowned his eyes and typed, "Would you care to explain?"

[I don't know, Sir. There is no way that can be possible]

"But it's happening, right?"

Das was violently typing on his keyboard, making a sound of hitting keys, and he was also tapping his feet on the floor.

Elena noticed Das acting strange.

She opened her mouth to call his name but stopped thinking he would get mad at her.

Andrew was typing for a while now. 

Das hoped he would get a long explanation, but what he received was, [Yes, Sir]

"The 12th rose to 1st in no time. How can I overlook that?"

[Are you saying that they are behind our loss?]

"I am not saying, I know it."

[But it can be a coincidence, Sir]

"Stop being optimistic, and call them!"

[Okay, Sir]

"Add me in the conference and speak as I tell you."

[Alright, Sir]

After around two minutes, they started the call.

[We are in, Sir]

"Now ask them what the hell is going on."

[But Sir, directly?]

"Yes! I don't have time for bullshit!"

[Hello, my Sir is asking for an explanation of what's going on] spoke Andrew.

[Heh! I knew the first call I will get would be from you] said the voice from the other side of the call.

"Start speaking."

[Start speaking]

[Come on, Andrew, was it? You are still following your useless boss? Join me]

Das froze for a second and let out a big sigh.

[Thanks for your offer]contemporary romance

Das tried to close the lid of his laptop after hearing that.

[But I will have to decline your offer]

Das' eyes widened as he opened the lid again.

[Are you sure? You will regret it, I tell you] said the voice.

[I am sure]

[Oh! I get it, I get it! You are saying this because your boss is with you, right? Don't worry; you can come to my office later]

[No, I must decline. I can't believe you would do something like this. Why did you betray my boss' trust?]

[It's just business]

[He helped you rise, and this is how you repay his favor?]

[Haven't you ever hear of 'Everything is fair in love and war'? And business is war]

[Sigh~] Andrew sighed.

[Did you just sighed at me?]

[You still have one chance to get back to where you deserve]

[Oh? Is that a threat? I am number one now, bitch! No one can touch me]

[I ask you one last time, don't blame me if something happened. You will regret ever been born]
