After receiving a call from his supervisor, Osborne, who had originally left for the underground parking lot, decided to return to the company immediately.
He wasn't alone when he arrived at the Internal Affairs Department; he ran into President Hill of the company on the way.
President Hill was the highest-ranking official in the European Region.
He was somewhat of a superior to Osborne, although they managed different areas of business. There was a certain level of competition between them regarding the future leadership of the Scholastic billion-dollar group.
Director Charlie was one of Hill's trusted protégés.
It was expected that both of them were there for the Internal Affairs Department's investigation,
When they met, they exchanged only a brief, insincere greeting and, with their respective secretaries and assistants in tow, walked side by side into the Internal Affairs Department's office area like two distinct army units.
