Chapter 147:
Finley continued, “Three employees were doing maintenance and inspection at that time, but one of them has resigned. According to the other two workers, the person in charge of inspecting the lamp was the one who resigned p>
“Investigate that employee further.” Rupert’s face darkened, and his thin lips curled slightly.
As soon as Rupert ended the call, Annabel asked, “How is it going? Have you concluded this issue? Have you discovered who did it p>
