Chapter 144 Treasure Hunts

Finished

The items had been tossed by the cleaning crew and carted off to the landfill by the city’s waste management three days ago. The chances of recovering them were next to none, but Jackson cleverly thought of a workaround.

If he couldn’t retrieve the original items, he could try buying replacements. It wasn’t about deceiving Easton; it was more abour Easton likely not knowing exactly what was in Ellis’s office, and this was a desperate measure to keep his job.

“Not convenient!”

Regardless of Jackson’s intentions, Ellis hung up the phone and promptly added his number to her blacklist.

Listening to the dial tone, Jackson shamelessly tried calling again. After several attempts went unanswered, he realized he’d been blocked. Can I keep this job?

Panicking. Jackson borrowed the cleaning supervisor’s phone to make another attempt. Fortunately, as he stepped out of the conference room, he didn’t see Amelia lingering by her desk. Ellis pursed her lips in annoyance.

She had responded to Amelia’s overtures the night before with dismissive emojis, making her stance clear. Amelia’s attempt today to buy her favor with small gifts was exasperating

Back at her desk, Ellis received another call from an unfamiliar local number, but she was almost certain it was Jackson using a different phone

Two calls in quick succession–it had to be Jackson.

Annoyed, she activated the feature to block unknown callers and noticed several new messages

Jackson, overwhelmed, borrowed another phone as he still couldn’t get through to Ellis. The cleaning supervisor was also in a panic, Jackson, Mrs. Hudson can’t help us: if we can’t recover the items, do you think Mr. Hudson will fire us?”

Easton was known for being reasonable to an extent; he wouldn’t mind his own office items not being recovered since he had ordered them thrown out. But Ellis’s office items were a different story there was a clear distinction in responsibilities,

The cleaning supervisor wasn’t in danger of losing her job, but he was!

As the sun began to set and after confirming multiple times with the landfill staff, the cleaning supervisor gave up hope. Jackson, let’s pack up and go back to the office to get our severance and leave.”

Under Easton’s capable leadership, the company was thriving, and even if employees were terminated during their probation, they were compensated generously. As a long–term employee, she was sure to get a decent severance package and was ready to accept her fate.

Jackson’s face twitched. “Mr. Hudson didn’t say he’d fire you, just me.
