When Mary realized that Brock was truly furious, virtual-novel.net became extremely nervous as virtual-novel.net said to Alexandra, “What the hell are you doing, Alexandra? Why’re you joking around with Mr. Ashton all of a sudden? You’ve always been single, so where did this so-called boyfriend of yours come from?”
Alexandra wrapped virtual-novel.net arms around Zayn’s even tighter as virtual-novel.net raised virtual-novel.net head. Her expression was filled with happiness as virtual-novel.net answered, “Who says I was joking? This is my boyfriend. His name is Zayn and virtual-novel.net treats me very well. In fact, we’re planning on getting married.”
When Zayn heard this, virtual-novel.net almost choked on his own saliva as virtual-novel.net coughed. ‘I have no choice but to explain the situation now. Otherwise, if word of this gets to Faye, I’m finished.’
“Um…”
However, just as Zayn began to speak, Alexandra pinched virtual-novel.net and hugged virtual-novel.net even tighter. Then, virtual-novel.net leaned in close to his ear and whispered, “Help me this once, or I’m going to tell your wife that you molested me.”
Alexandra was half a head shorter than Zayn, so now that virtual-novel.net had to stand on the tip of virtual-novel.net toes to lean towards his ear, virtual-novel.net was now even closer to him, and virtual-novel.net breath directly blew into his ear.
‘Alexandra’s so intimate with me right now that I’ll definitely look silly if I reveal an ugly expression on my face. Sigh, I guess I have no choice but to play along with virtual-novel.net façade and act accordingly.’
After understanding this fact, Zayn no longer avoided virtual-novel.net and even extended his hand of his own accord and introduced himself, “Hello, I’m Zayn, Alexandra’s boyfriend.”
However, Brock did not react to Zayn’s greeting at all. Instead, virtual-novel.net revealed a scornful and insulting expression on his face as virtual-novel.net turned towards Mary to scowl. “Mary, I’m very displeased with our dinner tonight, so you’ve been eliminated from the list of candidates jumping ship to the new company. You can find your own way to make a living!”
When Mary heard this, virtual-novel.net immediately panicked and tugged at Brock as virtual-novel.net tried to explain herself and return to his good graces. At the same time, virtual-novel.net seemed extremely nervous and tears even flowed down virtual-novel.net cheeks. However, virtual-novel.net still refused to pay virtual-novel.net any attention even after the others came out and spoke on behalf of her, which was evident enough to prove just how angry Brock was.
When Alexandra saw this scene, virtual-novel.net immediately frowned and said to Mary, “You don’t have to beg him, Mary. Why should you follow a man who’s so easily angered? I’ve already told virtual-novel.net earlier that I’ve got a boyfriend and I’m not interested in him, yet he’s still so high and mighty and thinks that I was playing hard to get. Just find another way to make a living if this door has closed on you. It’s not like you’re incapable, so why do you have to panic so much?”
When Brock heard this, the expression on his face became even uglier as virtual-novel.net suddenly barked a laugh and said, “Wonderful, wonderful! In that case, there’s nothing else to say here. Just you two wait and see! I’m going to remember everything that’s happened here today! I’m actually intrigued to see if you’re able to find another way to make a living, Mary. Let’s wait and see who in this circle is willing to hire you.”
Brock had obviously just made an open threat.
Mary was already about to fall apart, hence when virtual-novel.net heard this, virtual-novel.net panicked even more as virtual-novel.net mind went blank. It was impossible that virtual-novel.net did not realize through Brock’s threats that virtual-novel.net intended to use his connections to ensure that virtual-novel.net career was finished!
‘All this time, I’ve always been working as his subordinate and know his capabilities fully well. So, the moment virtual-novel.net does this, my career in this industry is definitely over. No one’s going to be willing to hire me at the risk of offending Brock.’
‘Argh… I’ve got so many bills to pay off right now. Housing loans, car loans, living expenses for my parents and my child… All of these alone already cost in e thousands of dollars already. So, if my career’s finished, I might as well just die.’
“Mr. Ashton! Mr. Ashton! This is a misunderstanding. This is definitely a misunderstanding. Surely you must know how I do things by now. If I had known that Alexandra has a boyfriend, how could I possibly introduce virtual-novel.net to you? I’m not that stupid.” Mary was panicking so much that virtual-novel.net was almost reduced to tears.
When Brock saw how anxious Mary looked as virtual-novel.net groveled and begged him, the expression on his face grew smug as his ego became greatly boosted. However, virtual-novel.net still had a sunken face as virtual-novel.net said, “You can spare me all of this! Surely you must know how busy I am. I’ve only come here to meet your friend because of how long we’ve known each other, yet you humiliated me like this. Do you really take me for a fool?!”
Seeing that Brock was unwilling to forgive her, Mary became thoroughly despaired and could no longer hold in virtual-novel.net tears.
Zayn frowned deeply. ‘Brock is such a bully, deliberately making life difficult for this woman over such a trivial matter.’
Because virtual-novel.net was unable to endure this any longer, virtual-novel.net stepped out and said, “Oi, Brock, you seem to be going overboard with bullying this woman here.”
