But once the boss had spoken, Oliver Ross dared not utter a word of dissent.
Oliver Ross checked the work schedule for Carlos for the upcoming week,
“Boss, our new car’s test drive is in three days.
But the test drive is in the morning, and the Image Ambassador semifinals are in the afternoon.”
“The test driver for the new car hasn’t been found yet?”
Carlos remembered, they had arranged for a test drive yesterday, but the driver got injured mid-test and they had to find a replacement.
“We haven’t found anyone yet.”
There are many test drivers in Capital, but not many are willing or able to drive Carter Automotive’s new cars due to the new car’s fast acceleration and new model, which is different from previous ones, many drivers are not accustomed to it.
Additionally, the news of the previous driver’s injury has leaked, and there are rumors that there is a big problem with the design of Carter Automotive’s car, claiming that even the designers have not been disclosed, and that driving Carter Automotive’s new car could be fatal.
As a result, even fewer people are willing to test drive the company’s new cars.
“Boss, our factory has been operating at a loss for several months, and this time the R&D fund was actually circumvented through the board of directors, approved by Senior President Carter.
There were objections from the board at the time, and in front of Old Carter, you promised you could launch the new car within a month, leaving us with not much time.
If we continue to delay, the factory’s losses will only worsen.”
Oliver Ross reminded, as he also knew the boss was under a lot of pressure recently, especially since Mrs.
Carter’s health issues have emerged at this time.
“No need to find a new driver, I’ll test drive it myself.
The outside rumors just want to see our factory’s downfall.
If I test drive it personally and there are no issues, the rumors will collapse on their own.”
“Boss, that new car is too fast, even the experienced old drivers find it difficult to handle.”
Oliver Ross expressed his concern.
“That’s how it’s going to be arranged, you go investigate Evan Palmer first.”
Carlos waved his hand.
In the hospital, Adam Willow saw Evan Palmer out.
As they reached the hospital entrance, they saw a red sedan pull up in front of them.
Sophie Parker was getting out of the car, spotting Adam and Evan, she quickly exited the car and greeted them warmly.
“Brother Adam, President Palmer.”
Sophie Parker’s eyes lit up seeing the father and son together, as both Adam and Evan had similar eyes and a refined, handsome demeanor.
“And you are?”
Evan glanced at Sophie Parker, not recalling her.
Adam quickly introduced, “This is my girlfriend, Sophie Parker.”
“Little Sophie, this is Uncle Palmer.
Uncle Palmer and my mother are old acquaintances; he’s here today to see a doctor at the hospital.”
Publicly, Adam always referred to Evan as “Uncle”.
Upon hearing she was Adam’s girlfriend, Evan took a longer look at Sophie Parker.
Sophie Parker hurriedly introduced herself,
“President Palmer, I’ve encountered you before at the entrance of Cloud Lake Villa, but you didn’t notice me.
My father is Minister Henry Parker.”
“Ah, so you are Minister Parker’s daughter.
Truly, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.”
Upon learning about Sophie Parker’s family background, Evan’s attitude towards her softened.
“Sophie, what brings you to the hospital?
Didn’t you say you’re about to graduate and are quite busy recently?”
Adam asked curiously.
“Brother Adam, I came to tell you good news, I passed the preliminary round for Capital’s Image Ambassador.
There were some hiccups along the way, I almost got sabotaged.
Fortunately, I still made it to the semifinals.
The semifinals are in three days, and you must come and support me.”
Sophie Parker spoke with a pout, pulling on Adam’s arm.
“Someone bullied you?”
The Capital Image Ambassador contest was also something Evan Palmer had heard of; it was a competition sponsored by the Carter Clan.
“Well, I didn’t really want to say anything.
But Emily Parker really went too far this time.
I have a half-sister who works as a nurse at People’s Hospital, her name is Emily Parker.
We share the same father but have different mothers; her mother passed away a long time ago.
She has always grown up in our family, and my mom treats her even better than me, her own daughter.
But she has no regard for sisterly love.”
As Sophie spoke, she revealed an expression of utmost grievance.
“I know my sister has never liked me.
But what she did today was over the line.
I was helping a blind contestant into the elevator when she, claiming it was overloaded, pushed me out of the elevator.
I had to take the stairs to the contest, and I was late.”
While talking, Sophie Parker deliberately wiped her eyes.
She had put in some eye drops before getting out of the car; her eyes were red and really did seem pitiable.
“Emily Parker, she…”
Adam initially wanted to say that Emily wasn’t like that, but then he suddenly remembered the conflict between Doctor Bennet and Emily in the corridor.
Lately, Emily did seem to have changed.
Hearing this, Evan developed an even worse impression of Emily.
He’d heard about Emily’s complicated family background before, but he hadn’t expected her to be such an illegitimate child with no public standing.
She even resorted to bullying a disabled person; such a girl with deep scheming tendencies was too terrifying.
She must be aiming to marry into the Carter Family to seize their wealth.
“Sophie, don’t be sad.
If that Emily dares to bully people like this, I won’t let her get away with it.
Such character, no matter how attractive she is, can’t represent the image of Capital.
I originally didn’t participate in this Image Ambassador contest because I was too busy.”
Saying this, Evan checked his own schedule.
“In three days, I happen to be free, and I will attend this round of Capital’s Image Ambassador selection.
If that Emily bullies you again, I will eliminate her on the spot.”
Evan thought of Carlos’s recent discourtesy towards him.
When has there ever been a son who treats his father with such disrespect!
For now, he couldn’t confront Carlos directly, so he thought it might be good to take out his frustrations on Emily Parker.
Adam wanted to say something, but seeing Sophie’s sad face, he held back.
Coincidentally, Adam would have the day off in three days.
Given that, he decided to check out the Image Ambassador contest.
He still didn’t want to believe that Emily had become such a malicious woman.
Listening to this, Sophie immediately felt overjoyed inside; she had come to invite Adam specifically to be at the event.
When the time came, Adam seeing Emily’s ugly side would surely be greatly disappointed.
To her delight, Evan would also be there.
Evan was Carlos’s father; if Carlos’s father detested Emily, then no matter how cunning she was or how many schemes she hatched to seduce Carlos, her days would definitely not be pleasant.
Thinking of this, Sophie could hardly wait for the semifinals in three days.
