Chapter 107
He already knew that it wasn’t this woman who went to his house to get his documents because the young secretary returned to her room and sat at her desk, not doing Christian’s order.
Meanwhile, there was a figure that he did not find in the secretary’s room, namely the head secretary.
“S-Sir...” the young secretary was trembling. “Sis Laras asked me to-”
Christian looked at the young secretary with a flat face. But the more indifferent the man looked, the more frightened the young secretary became. She could even feel the temperature in the room suddenly turn colder than before.
“Go to the finance department to get your final paycheck.”
“Sir...” the secretary looked at Christian in disbelief.
But who told her to let Laras replace her in her job? It was clear that Christian told her to go, not Laras. That means, Christian had a certain goal- he didn’t want Ella to meet Laras.
Christian looked at her coldly. “This company doesn’t need employees who can’t carry out orders from their superiors. Go.”
.....
When he said this, there was already anger in his eyes.
He could already guess what Ella was thinking right now. The woman must have thought that he was deliberately telling Laras to go to his house.
As he thought about it, Christian felt even more irritated.
He pressed a button on his office phone and it didn’t take long for Laras to come straight into Christian’s room.
“Sir, are you looking for me?”
Laras flashed a gentle smile on her face. In front of Christian, she had to make sure that she always looked perfect.
Christian raised his head and looked at Laras coldly. “How long have you worked at this company?”
“Five years,” Laras answered honestly.
She had been working in this company since five years ago, after she passed her apprenticeship at the same place. She had the ability and determination to wait for this man in front of her.
“Five years,” Christian smiled, but his smile looked weird. It was as if there was a hidden meaning behind it. “It’s been that long, huh?”
“Yes, sir,” Laras answered quickly.
She thought Christian was trying to recall how long Laras had been by his side and helping with all his work. Finally, Christian noticed her existence!
The smile on Laras’ face seemed to widen, mixed with excitement.
But the next sentence made her feel like she was being pushed into a deep abyss.
“You know what the consequences will be if you disobey my order, right?”
“I... Sir, I...”
Laras looked at Christian nervously. Only by then did she realize that her co-secretary, who had been summoned to Christian’s room earlier, had not returned.
“Sir, I...”
As if realizing what Laras was about to ask, Christian immediately said, “Fired.”
Lara’s eyes widened in disbelief.
The young secretary was only assigned to retrieve the documents. Did it make a difference between her or the young secretary taking it?
Isn’t it the same thing?
Plus, this kind of incident had never happened before.
Laras felt very frantic and she was really confused.
Is Christian doing this because of Ella?
Just as Laras wanted to explain, Christian said, “Go to the personnel department.”
Lara’s body trembled. If she went to the personnel department, she would not be able to return to her position again.
She clenched her fists, but in the end, she could only nod.
“Come out now.”‘
Christian’s words made Laras clench her fists tighter. However, she still turned and left the room.
Even so, Christian still couldn’t concentrate on doing his job. Only when the time showed five o’clock did Christian finally calm down.
He immediately stood up and straightened his tie, then walked out of his study.
...
Meanwhile at Christian’s house, Ella was seen looking at a small child who was rolling on the floor, sulking.
“Hey, I want to eat some prawn snacks. Buy it for me!”
Nathan looked at Ella with his big eyes looking pitiful.
“Eating too many snacks can give you a sore throat.”
Ella shook her head firmly.
Nathan immediately looked sullen, holding back his tears. He sat on the sofa wiggling his legs. “Just one pack, okay? I promise I won’t eat again for another week.”
Seeing Ella’s serious eyes, Nathan stretched out his hand. “One month!”
Ella still shook her head.
“But old woman!” Nathan was on the verge of tears. “I have helped you to deal with the evil woman today!”
Nathan couldn’t understand why he had to get permission from Ella to eat a snack. At first, he wanted to tell his servant to go and buy snacks for him, but the maid said that he had to get Ella’s approval.
Nathan had tried to beg her in various ways.
Ella’s lips twitched, holding back a smile. Was this fat kid really helping her?
Ella finally shook her head in resignation, giving in to Nathan’s plea.
“I’ll buy it for you. But you can only eat one.”
She owed this fat boy. If she didn’t repay her debt to him, Nathan would be talking about it again and again until she did what he wanted.
When he heard the approval from Ella’s mouth, Nathan’s eyes immediately lit up brightly.
“Hurry up and come back as soon as possible!”
Seeing Nathan’s greedy face, Ella couldn’t help but smile.
She found herself liking this fat boy more and more.
There was a special supermarket located inside Christian housing estate. Ella only needed to walk 10 minutes to go there.
As dusk drew near, there were more and more people on the street. Most of them were servants in this house, who went to the supermarket to buy vegetables and meat.
Ella didn’t want to delay any longer. So as soon as she entered the supermarket, she went straight to the snack bar and grabbed Nathan’s favorite snack.
However, when she was in front of the cashier, she realized that she did not bring any money.
What a shame!
The cashier looked at her with a smile, not looking down on her. “Miss, you can also pay using your cell phone.”
The cashier knew that the people who lived in this estate were rich people.
Besides, from her demeanor, this woman in front of her was no ordinary woman. Most likely, this woman was the daughter of a rich family.
Ella felt very embarrassed and said, “I forgot to bring my cell phone. Can I pay for it later? I will be right back.”
If she came back empty-handed, Nathan would be angry with her.
“Of course,” the cashier smiled kindly.
Since this was a residential specialty supermarket, she wasn’t too worried about scammers. Everyone here could afford to shop.
Ella breathed a sigh of relief and was amazed by this supermarket’s cashier. Indeed this was a place for the rich so the service was different.
Just as she was about to leave, a voice was heard from behind her.
“Ella?”
