The engineers felt that they were being humiliated, and proceeded to talk to Martin.But before they
could get a word in, Martin turned to them and said, "Just listen to her."
This rendered them speechless, for they were not expecting Martin to give free rein to Nicole.
"Mr.Wyance, I don't know how close you are to this woman, she knows next to nothing about what
we're doing, but she sure as hell knows how to pretend.She even insulted us.We demand an
explanation from you, and you shall give us one, or I'm afraid that we can't continue working together in
this," the middle-aged engineer took the lead and said.
Martin was just about to speak when the equipment began functioning as it should, with parts being
churned out.
In response, the engineer swallowed his pride as he watched the machine working the way it always
should have.He maintained his silence when Nicole and Martin proceeded to check the quality of the
parts being made.
Examining the product, Martin said, "This one is acceptable."
Then he looked at Nicole with delight.
"Fabulous, Nicole! I knew I could count on you.Thank you so much."
"Okay, let's get everyone started," Nicole said, urging him to get to work.
"Right.Is everyone in their workstations prepared to proceed?" Martin yelled.
"Yes! "
"Let the mass production begin!"
Martin announced, after which every equipment began to run, churning out a huge quantity of parts.
"Joe, make sure the quality is controlled," иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмMartin reminded him with much concern.
"Okay," Joe said.
Nicole glanced at the so-called engineers and sauntered past them.
They hurriedly followed her, with one of them saying, "We're so sorry, Miss Riddle.It was our fault.I
hope you can forgive us."
Concurrently, Martin stormed over and said, "The both of you are fired.I cannot afford to hire you any
longer."
The engineers did not expect Martin to relieve them off their duties, and so, they pleaded with him.
"Mr.Wyance, we're sorry that we ran our mouths moments ago.Please forgive us."
"Have you forgotten how rude you were to Miss Riddle?" Martin glared at them.
"It is all my fault," the engineer pleaded.
"I'll own up to it."
"Don't follow me around," Martin said.
"You've got no idea who you've offended, do you?"
Hearing this, they ran up to Nicole and apologized.Nicole was annoyed, but she did not wish to make a
mountain out of a molehill.
"Martin, just get these guys off my back.Let them do their jobs."
Heeding Nicole's words, Martin turned to them.
"You heard that? You know what to do next time.Now go!"
The engineers nodded to Nicole and Martin at once with sheepish smiles on their faces.
"Thank you, Miss Riddle, and thank you, Mr.Wyance."
"Nicole, let's head upstairs," Martin said and climbed the flight of stairs.
Now, on his office chair, Martin centered his gaze at Nicole.
"By the way, I haven't asked you this, but what brought you to the factory all of a sudden.Did Jared
send you over to supervise us?"
"You're in the mood to have another dig at me now, aren't you?"
Nicole gave him a piercing look.
Martin flinched.
"No.I'm just happy that the production has resumed."
Then, he got up and made a beeline for the floor-to-ceiling window where he can view the busy
production sites down below.
