Chapter 1584
"When did I ever send someone to collect anything? Do you even have proof?” Then, Chris added, "There must be
some mistake. You should go back to your office for now, and I'll get in touch with your boss for verification later."
Normally, Sam would just listen to Chris' suggestion and return to his office, knowing that the person who ordered
the goods would usually get a share of the profit.
Chris had done something like this in the past. His supplier would overquote the order to pocket the difference
between the quoted and the actual price.
However, Sam's boss had been giving him a hard time every day because of their cash flow issue. Yet, Chris
refused to pick up his phone and communicate.
Sam was brimming with anger and did not intend to take his suggestion. He took out a dozen delivery notes and
credit bills from his bag and asked, "Is this not your company's stamp?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStella took the documents and looked at them. Then, she frowned before shifting her gaze to Chris, "Mr. Poole,
what is this about? The company's stamp has always been with you, right?"
Chris hurriedly came over and was equally puzzled, "Could someone have impersonated our staff to collect the
goods? Have you been scammed?"
Stella's gaze turned extremely cold, "Can't you tell if this is real or fake?"
Chris was sweating profusely.
Although Darcie had handed over The Velvet to Stella, she did not give her the company's stamp. Instead, she
wanted Chris to keep it.
Stella had asked him for it previously, but he always gave her different reasons to reject her.
Now that something like this had happened, Chris would undoubtedly be held accountable.
"Ms. Hall, I've always personally handled all procurement orders. I've never allowed anyone else to do it, and I don't
know who used my name and the company stamp to collect these orders. I'm sure that there must be a
misunderstanding."
Stella stared at him and asked, "Are you sure that you personally took care of all of the orders?"
Chris immediately nodded, "I'm absolutely certain. It involved a huge amount of money, and I've always handled it
personally because I'm worried that anything would go wrong."
"So, how much money worth of raw materials have you ordered from Mr. Burton for this month?"
"I..." Chris was taken aback and at a loss for words.
Stella scrutinized the look on his face and said calmly,"
What's wrong? Can't you remember the details of something you personally handled?"
Chris stammered, "I...I remember it was a little over fourteen million."
Sam "helpfully" chimed in, "Mr. Poole had personally collected three payments from us with a total of eight point six
million. I have all the transaction records here."
"Eight point six million...." Stella lifted her gaze and looked at Chris coldly, "If I remember correctly, you reported to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthe finance department as one hundred and thirteen point eight million. What's the extra five million for?"
"I..." Chris continued to sweat, and it took him a while to finally say, "I found a new supplier, and the additional
amount was paid to them."
Stella asked, "Ordering from another supplier is a serious matter. Why didn't you tell me about it? Also, I noticed
that all the invoices you submitted are from Mr. Burton's company. So, are you telling me that the new supplier is
somehow related to Mr. Burton, and he's the one who issued you the invoices?"
At this moment, Sam finally understood why Chris refused to talk to him previously.
They had a verbal agreement with each other. Whenever The Velvet placed an order with them, they would give
Chris a certain amount of commission. It was supposed to be a mutually beneficial relationship, but Chris had found
a new supplier behind their backs. Clearly, Chris was not satisfied with the commission they were offering him.
So, Sam decided to go all out, "Ms. Hall, we only issue the invoices to your company after receiving payment. The
receipts for eight point six million were indeed from us, but the extra five million has absolutely nothing to do with
us."
