The black, chubby man next to Yorko Company's General Manager Fiewood was one of the company's executive vice presidents, named Harvey. He was Fiewood's absolute right-hand man, highly capable and always in line with the boss's wishes.
At this moment, facing Fiewood's inquiry, Harvey answered respectfully, "Don't worry, everything's ready."
Then Harvey proactively added another line, "Everything is ready!"
The word "everything" was given particular emphasis.
On the surface, that last sentence sounded redundant. For a workplace veteran like Harvey, repeating himself like this in front of his boss really shouldn't happen, because it makes him sound like he lacks decisiveness and confidence.
However, Fiewood only nodded, as if he hadn't noticed anything amiss at all.
Just as the two of them were talking, someone walked up from behind and stopped a few steps away, calling softly, "Mr. Fiewood?"
The voice was light and pleasant, very nice to the ear.
