Chapter 1202
Waters was feeling heartbroken and cold. Everyone said Charlie was a real ladies‘ man, but after getting to know him, she realized if he wasn’t into someone, he’d give them the cold shoulder without a second thought.
She had been chasing him for two years, and she started to wonder if maybe he didn’t care because she was too into him and too forward.
With a sorrowful expression, Waters slowly nodded, “You’re right; I’m just not worth his time!”
After saying this, she grabbed her bag and stormed off.
After Waters left, Tracy didn’t dare move. She carefully said, “Mr. James, I know I messed up. I’ve been working in this company for years; can’t you cut me some slack just this once?”
‘Just this once. If I catch you messing with Emily again, I’ll kick you out, and it won’t be pretty!” Charlie said, his voice low and icy as he looked through some reports.
Tracy nodded frantically, her voice shaky. “Yes, thank you, Mr. James!”
“Now get out and send Emily in!” Charlie commanded.
Tracy quickly complied, and as she left the boss’s office, she realized her palms were sweaty.
She walked up to Emily, her eyes filled with resentment. “Mr. James wants to see you in his office.”
With that, she turned and went back to her desk.
Emily had seen Waters leave looking heartbroken, and now Tracy didn’t look so good either. What on earth happened in the office?
Emily figured Charlie must’ve lost his temper. She’d seen it before.
With a nervous feeling, Emily knocked on the office door.
“Come in!” A voice from inside said, emotionless.
Charlie looked up from his report, giving her a cold glance. “You don’t have to put up with anyone’s crap in the office. If someone’s bullying you, why don’t you fight back? Why don’t you speak up?”
Charlie stared at her for a while before laughing coldly, “Well, aren’t you magnanimous?”
“I’m not a pushover either. If she asks me to do something within my job scope, I won’t mind. But if it’s beyond that, I’ll refuse!” Emily said it honestly.
