Chapter 79
The exchange made Tyler seem like a fool.
Rachel coldly said, “You didn’t have a plan when things went down. After it was over, you didn’t come up with any preventive measures either. You’re fired!”
Tyler was flabbergasted. He didn’t expect the person losing his job today would be him.
Tyler couldn’t take it any longer. “I made a mistake, Ms. Carter, I shouldn’t have been so rude to my colleagues, and I’m owning up to it. Can you please not fire me?”
Just then, Jared entered the room and learned what was going on. Regardless, he was too scared to speak up.
Rachel noticed Jared’s arrival and pointed at Tyler. “You’ve shown up at the right time. Take him to process his resignation.”
Jared broke into a cold sweat. He was chatting with a colleague on his way here and happened to arrive late. Otherwise, he might have ended up like Tyler.
Trying to show his enthusiasm, he ushered Tyler outside. “Come with me to HIL”
Tyler knew he couldn’t change what had happened. He dejectedly walled with Jared to avoid embarrassing himself further.
After watching them leave, Rachel turned to Matthew and said, “You’ll have to send me to a meeting.”
Matthew stood up. “Sure thing, I’ll drive you.”
Then, Matthew and Rachel walked out of the staff room together.
As soon as they left, the staff room erupted into endless chatter. Everyone was still reeling from the shock–a chauffeur had gotten a manager fired. It was simply mind–boggling.
Rachel went downstairs with Matthew. Seeing his cold expression, she thought he was still upset. “I already fired him. Are you still mad at me?”
Matthew shook his head. “No, that’s not it. I’m thinking about the company. The managers here are always picking on their staff instead of doing their jobs. The company is in big trouble.”
Rachel sighed. “I’ve noticed that too, and I’m working on it. You’re quite competent. How about helping me with the company’s HR?”
Matthew was interested, but he quickly snapped back to reality. His goal was to court Rachel, not to work.
He shook his head. “Nah, I can’t even win you over, let alone manage a company. That’s way too much of a hassle.”
“Win me over?” Rachel thought. Did Matthew mean sleeping together? Was that all he ever thought about?
Rachel stopped in her tracks and clenched her teeth. She then fixed her gaze on Matthew’s back.
She finally saw him in a different light, noticing his competency and talent. However, it didn’t take long for him to reveal his true colors as a pervert. He was always thinking about getting her into bed.
Matthew walked for a bit and soon noticed that nobody was beside him. He turned to find Rachel standing there with livid expression on her face.
He sported a smile and coaxed, “I’m not joining your company, but you don’t have to be so mad about it.”
Rachel was left speechless. That wasn’t why she was angry at all. But she didn’t bother explaining herself because she didn’t want Matthew to mention the past and take advantage of her.
Matthew found Rachel cute when she got mad. Instead of being cold, she was showing her emotions.
He teased, “I’m now your lover and part of the Carter family. Be grateful that I’m all yours. No need to be angry even if
I don’t work for your company.”
Rachel blushed and snorted. “What do you mean you’re mine? Watch what you say. People might think something is going on between us.” Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
Matthew walked up to Rachel and said, “You begged for me to get into bed with you, and I gave in. Why are you acting like nothing happened?”
Rachel was startled, and she quickly looked around. Seeing they were alone, she felt a sense of relief.
Back then, Fred wanted them to treat each other lovingly, so Rachel asked Matthew to play along.
However, when Matthew brought it up, it insinuated that something happened between them.
At that moment, two female employees were walking toward them.
Upon seeing people approaching, Rachel lowered her voice and warned, “Matthew Grant! We’re in the office. Can you not bring this up now?”
Matthew chuckled. “I’m your husband, so it’s natural for us to sleep together. Besides, nothing happened in bed. What are you afraid of?”
