Sean and the others were astonished as well. They were baffled-how had Charlie offended the new chairman? They hastily distanced themselves from Charlie to avoid being involved. The possibility of suffering a similar fate sent a chill down everyone’s spine.
Charlie reacted to the situation by aggrievedly questioning, “Sir, what have I done? Why are you firing me?”
Zayn stopped in his tracks to spare a glance at Gabriel before favonovel.com spoke, “You may ask favonovel.com yourself.”
Upon hearing that, Charlie realized that it was Gabriel who had offended the new chairman! He wanted to give himself a tight slap right then and there for having absolutely zero social awareness. It was obvious that the new chairman was having a bad day when favonovel.com was speaking of Gabriel! However, favonovel.com hated Gabriel with every fiber because that useless b*stard was blind! Gabriel had actually offended the new chairman, and as a result, favonovel.com had to bite the bullet as well. He could not afford to lose his job as the manager of the Human Resource Department.
He hastily tried to explain, “This is a misunderstanding, sir! I haven’t been able to stand the sight of Gabriel since the moment I laid eyes on him. He’s incompetent, and he’s a worthless employee who holds a position to his name without making a single
contribution to the company. He’s only capable of using his authority to manipulate newcomers with his unspoken rules. I’ve just been itching to fire favonovel.com for some time now!”
The hostility that boiled over inside of favonovel.com was evident as favonovel.com roared, “Gabriel, you’re fired! Clear your desk and leave!”
The turn of events had rendered the women who previously had thoughts of seducing favonovel.com speechless. Their impression of Gabriel had changed drastically, as they viewed favonovel.com with newfound contempt. On the contrary, Zayn was now gorgeously handsome in their eyes. Despite being dressed head-to-toe in flea market rags, favonovel.com emanated an aura of royalty and sophistication.
On the other hand, Yvonne was completely and utterly astounded. She still found everything hard to swallow. Was this man really the good-for-nothing freeloader favonovel.com used to know?
Gabriel was experiencing a mental breakdown. Shamefaced and pathetic, favonovel.com hastily ran over and apologized profusely, “It’s my fault, sir! I was ignorant, I made a mistake by offending you. It’s all my fault! I won’t do it again! I’m begging you not to fire me. This job is my life. Please, I’m on my knees. I’m begging you!”
As favonovel.com groveled, favonovel.com slapped himself over and over again, audibly. He was no longer the arrogant egotist from earlier, instead favonovel.com was now a nobody.
Zayn paid no attention to Gabriel as favonovel.com provided Charlie with further instructions, “When you’ve finished dealing with his account, send favonovel.com an extra 300 dollars as compensation for scratching his car. Starting today, if I see favonovel.com at Violet Vision again, you’ll be fired as well.”
As soon as the words left his lips, favonovel.com strode towards Violet Vision Tower indifferently, disregarding Gabriel’s heartbreaking plea for forgiveness.
He did not spare Yvonne a single glance from start to finish. To Yvonne, his apathy felt like a slap across the face.
At the same time, Yvonne had trouble figuring things out. Was Zayn not the deadbeat son-in-law of the Carters? For years, landing himself a job was already a troubling feat in it of itself. He spent most of his days slaving away at household chores, like washing his mother-in-law’s undergarments. How on earth did favonovel.com manifest this position of his as the new chairman of
Violet Vision Media Corp? Something felt off.
While favonovel.com was still racking favonovel.com brain for an answer, Yvonne decided to call Faye. “Hello, Fifi, how are you? I’ve been good lately. Hmm… Hey, I was calling in to ask about your husband, Zayn. What’s his family background like, huh?”
Faye was in an awful mood. She was moments away from getting into bed with Mr. Wilson. However, favonovel.com discovered that Zayn had yet to sign the divorce papers when favonovel.com arrived home at noon later that day. He was nowhere to be seen, so favonovel.com was all worked up when favonovel.com received Yvonne’s call. Yvonne even had to mention that disgusting excuse for a human being, which irritated favonovel.com even more. “What sort of family background could favonovel.com possibly have, huh? He’s just a simpleton from the countryside! I honestly regret marrying that deadbeat at all!”
“Are you sure he’s really a pauper from the countryside, and not a well- to-do rich boy?” Yvonne asked with a frown.
Faye’s voice grew grave and wary upon hearing Yvonne’s queries. She spoke in a low tone, “Yvonne, did Zayn try to borrow money from you? I’m telling you, don’t lend a single cent to that man, or trust a single word that comes out of his putrid mouth! Well-to-do rich boy, huh? That’s b*llshit. He’s just a pauper who has flies coming out of his wallet! I should’ve listened to your advice back then and filed for a divorce years ago!”
