Kapitel 226: The Trial (6)

Hans Müller's cold stare was nothing new to David. He knew the man very well—a hawk by nature, very greedy but very hard worker. He wanted what his due was. He liked Rose a lot because she used to reward him frequently for his overtime and for whatever 'gifts' were supposed to be given to the people who mattered in the high offices. When Rose was transferred and Anne came in, Hans Müller was shunted. Anne didn't recognize his work much and expected that he worked like a slave. In the end when he couldn't bear this kind of slavery anymore, he confronted Anne. Obviously Anne shunted him out. This was all done according to Helena's advice. Along with almost fifty officials whom the two women thought might hurt their plans, Hans was also laid off. 

"Yes, I know him," said David. "He is Hans Müller. He was laid off from Starfish Refineries a few months back." 

"Why was he laid off?" asked Geoffrey.
