Chapter 659 - Ethics....

"Huh? Ezi?? Why are you on the call?'" a man's stunned voice echoed over the phone's speaker.

"Because this is my office's phone and I am allowed to use it whatever way I want." The girl whispered in anger as the three staff members looked at their lady boss, turning red in anger.

'Don't be angry sis. It is all ok.' The man chuckled hearing her elder sister's voice. The girl was elder to her by two minutes.

"Let me talk to you, once I reach my office." The angry girl put down the phone receiver with a loud thud and glared at the receptionist. The receptionist lowered her head in guilt and Ezra left the place walking towards the elevator. She did not what to say to her, when her own brother was doing such things. The two suited secretaries of the girl ran behind her quickly catching up to her.

Soon the three of them entered the girl's private elevator, while discussing business side by side.

"Miss Jobs, the famous brand, 'bonjour' has been trying to strike a deal with us. I must say their products are actually good and we can work with them in partnership as well." One of the suited men spoke excitedly, holding the details of the company in a file.

Ezra looked at the details carefully and started studying them side by side as they stepped out of the elevator. She was now looking at their past records and manufacturing, while walking in the long carpeted corridor of the 6th floor, which led the way, straight to her office. She suddenly halted reading something in the file and turned to look at the suited men. "This can not happen."

The two men looked at each other in surprise. "b... but why madam? They are willing to accept all our conditions as well. This is the perfect deal for our company right now and they are also a highly reputed brand. Two major bands joining each other will create a thunder in society." The other suited man spoke in surprise.

"How is this perfect deal? These are not vegan products. They are using animal skin to make their product kits and have been using other animal products in manufacturing their makeup products too. My whole purpose of starting this brand is that people get to know that it is not essential to kill animals to get quality product. We can have good and quality vegan products too and you want me to sign a deal with them??" the girl looked at the two men in surprise. She then walked up to her office and immediately tore off the papers in her hands throwing them in the dustbin.

Her office was beautifully designed by her cousin as per her personal taste. He always told her that the office should always be according to a person's choice after all that the place where a person spent half of his lifetime, was his office. The walls of the office were painted in several colors, while in one corner, several artificially created huge color pallets of blusher were hanging in the other wall.  While in front of her several family pictures were framed and hung on the wall. Whenever the girl was under stress or in bad mood she would quietly sip coffee and look at these photos and an automatic smile would appear on her lips. She was indeed blessed with a large and loving family. The other corner of the room, opened to a large balcony, on which several hanging plants were decorated.

She sat on her boss chair, while the two secretaries stood next to her looking at the torn papers. ''But madam, this can be really profitable for us. We have worked really hard to strike this deal. They have even agreed to give us 70 percent of the profit from e- commerce business and 60 percent from the retail market. So I think we can....." the man kept speaking, but suddenly Ezra intervened in between.

"I will never compromise my ethics for profits. This is the basis of the company that no animal product will be use and that is final. You should have first studied their manufacturing details and the ingredients they use, before even trying to strike a deal with them. This is really disappointing. You both have been repeating this mistake for the fifth time now. Just yesterday Ms. Charla told me how you have been going about flirting in the office premises. Did you forget the rules? I do not want any sort of complication in my office. Do whatever you have to do outside the premises, but not in here. I think that is enough, you both are fired." The girl pressed her head not wanting to do it. But she had been tolerating their utter nonsense from past several months now and it was now getting on her nerves. "You may collect your cheque from Miss Charla and your services are not needed anymore." She spoke pressing the tip of her thumb while the two men looked at her in surprise.

They knew that once the girl makes up her mind she will not let anybody interfere in her decisions. They quietly left the office; their faces hung low in sadness.

Ezra quickly picked up the phone, placed besides her and dialled a key. "Hello Miss Charla, please give Rony and Adam their salaries. They are fired and inform the security about it too. Also, we need to find me a new secretary but his time I need some very good and highly qualified people, who have the basic understanding towards this company. Yes... Yes... Right. Thank you." She placed down the phone and let out a big sigh.

The girl was very particular about maintaining a sober and peaceful atmosphere in her company. She herself restrained from flirting or dating any of her juniors and even told her employees to follow the same rule. She believed that work and romance could never work together as it made things really complicated and thus ultimately leading to work loss!
