Why did the director of the Personnel Department call him just after Bryson called someone to fire him?
"Hello, Mr. Deon. Why are you calling? It's late at night. What's the matter?"
"Todd, you are fired. You don't have to go to work tomorrow. Just come to the Personnel Department to settle your salary for this month."
Todd was shocked.
He asked doubtfully, "Mr. Deon, are you kidding? I have been working hard in Eastwood City Storage. Why does the company fire me?"
"Ask yourself. Our president just called to fire you. Think about what you have done. Alright, it's enough. I have to inform Louis about his promotion."
Mr. Deon hung up.
Todd had no chance to say more.
Looking at Bryson again, he was frightened.
The man sitting in the living room who was scolded by him ... was the CEO of the Cordova Group?
While Todd was in a daze, Louis received a call from the director of the Personnel Department.
Todd was desperate.
He fell to his knees in front of Bryson, "Mr. Bryson, please, please don't fire me. I have to raise my parents and kids. I really need this job. Please, let me stay in the company!"
Bryson looked at him coldly, "The Cordova Group will never treat any capable employee unfairly. And we also don't tolerate irresponsible employees. If you continue to say, you may not only be on our blacklist."
Todd was frightened.
He understood what Bryson meant.
He had no chance to work in the Cordova Group if on the blacklist of the group. But he couldn't find any job in Peace City if he was on the blacklist of faithless employees.
He didn't dare to beg Bryson anymore. He quickly got up from the ground and left.
After Todd left, Louis looked at Bryson with hesitation.
"Mr. Bryson, are you really going to appoint me as the director of Eastwood City Storage?"
Bryson smiled slightly, "Do you think you are not competent enough?"
"Of course not!"
"I just said that the Cordova Group will never treat any capable employee unfairly. Since you have been helping Todd with his work, you are the best candidate for his position."
Louis looked gratefully at Bryson, "Mr. Bryson, I must work hard and live up to your expectations."
"Very good."
In the evening, Audrey, Bryson, and Harold had a very happy time. During the meal, Maria kept giving them food, treating them like her own kids.
When they came out of Maria's home, it was dark.
Maria also came out.
Before they got into the car, Maria gave a red envelope to Bryson.
Seeing the red envelope, Bryson frowned and subconsciously wanted to return it.
Maria held down Bryson's hand and said, "Since Audrey's mother and grandmother passed away, I can be considered Audrey's family. This is your first time visiting us. It's our custom to give a red envelope to our son-in-law. Not much money in it. Hope you don't mind."
Audrey was lost for words.
Bryson withdrew his hand.
"Thank you, Maria!"
"My home is Audrey's home. Come here often!"
"We will."
Words failed Audrey.
Audrey had always felt that Bryson came here for something else. What Maria said just now was Bryson's final goal, right?
Unexpectedly, they met her family like this.
After getting into the car, Audrey frowned and stared at Bryson.
Bryson turned to her with a smile, "Why are you staring at me like that?"
Audrey propped up her chin and looked serious, "What a loss."
"Why?"
"You just used two boxes to get Maria's acknowledgment and Maria takes you as her son-in-law. It's a great loss to me."
"Well. It seems so."
Audrey responded, "People always say that businessmen are shrewd. They are right."
Bryson looked at her seriously, "Now, there are more men than women. If I don't use some tricks, I might die alone. I'm putting money away for a rainy day."
It was a meticulous scheme.
"Other men may grow old alone, but it's impossible for you, Mr. Bryson. Lots of women want to marry you."
"But before I met you, any woman was just a passer-by in my life!"
Harold was lost for words. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
He wanted to get out of the car.
Kolby kept silent.
He wanted to abandon the car.
The CEO of the Cordova Group, who was cold, ruthless and decisive in front of others, was gentle and sweet when he was with Audrey.
...
Next morning.
Audrey had just met a client and walked out of the reception room. She saw another person standing outside.
It was William.
Audrey was not surprised to see him.
Although he had been arrested and detained by the police, it was not difficult for him to be bailed out.
When William saw Audrey, he looked a little embarrassed.
"Audrey, I have something to ask you!"
After that, he entered the reception room. Audrey returned to the room after sending the client off.
Just as she sat down, William said, "I want you to be my lawyer."
Audrey was surprised.
"From what I know, your lawyer is Deegan. You want me to be your lawyer. Is that appropriate?"
"Deegan? He's nothing! I don't want to see him. You will be my lawyer!"
"Well..." Audrey looked embarrassed.
William looked at her unhappily, "Don't worry. I will give you twice as much as what I gave to Deegan."
Audrey coughed lightly.
"Mr. William, it's not about money."
"If it's not about money, then what's the problem?"
Audrey hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. William, I have accepted another client's request. I can't be your lawyer. If I accept your case, it will be against my agreement with others."
William's face instantly darkened. He fiercely asked Audrey, "Who? Who didn't allow you to take my case? Is it Blair?"
Audrey didn't look at him.
"Mr. William, don't make wild guesses. Anyway, I can't accept your case!"
Although Audrey did not give a clear answer, William looked at her and roughly knew the truth.
He slammed the table.
"Blair, you and your father want to ruin my life? If I lose everything, you will be ruined too."
