Vanessa smiled awkwardly and said, "Director Julien, I'll get back to work first."
However, before she went out, Julien said, "I'll give you ten minutes to pack up."
"Where are... Okay." Vanessa wanted to ask where they were going, but just as her words were at the tip of her tongue, she swallowed her words. It didn't matter where they were going. All she had to do was to follow him.
After coming out of Julien's office, Vanessa rushed to Joel's side. "Joel, where is Director Julien going for his business trip later?"
"Director Julien is going on a business trip later? Why do I not know anything about it?" As Julien's personal assistant, Joel's main responsibility was to take care of Julien's schedule and other miscellaneous matters.
Hearing that Julien was going on a business trip, Joel immediately checked Julien's schedule, "All his most recent work is in Chatterton Town. He doesn't have any business trips."
"He doesn't have any business trips?" Vanessa asked in reply. Since Julien wasn't going on a business trip, why did he ask her to pack up? Was... was he firing her instead?
Last Friday, two employees were dismissed because they were gossiping in the pantry. Was it her turn this time?
It was very likely... However, Vanessa must not allow this to happen.
Although the work environment in Rovio Corporation Inc was competitive and stressful, the salary and bonus were great. Most companies could not match it at all. Besides the money that Julien had given her, this was another stable income which she had been saving up for Lawrie's future education.
Vanessa turned around and returned to Julien's office. Before figuring out the truth, she asked aloud, "Director Julien, what exactly did I do wrong?"
Julien looked up and frowned at the woman who had just barged into his office.
Vanessa bit her lip and said, "I didn't do anything wrong. What right do you have to dismiss me?"
Dismiss her?
When did he dismiss her?
Vanessa added, "I've been working in the secretary team for a year now. Although I have not done anything worth mentioning, I've completed all my work without mistakes. Just because I was late once, you're firing me now?" Besides, I didn't want to be late too. If it wasn't because of what you did to me last night, would I have overslept this morning?"
"Yes, I admit that there are countless people who want to work in Rovio, so the company has never had a problem with recruiting talents. However, you can't just dismiss whoever you like. Moreover, I got through the interviews and entered Rovio with my own abilities."
"There were people saying that I got to where I am now because of you, but that doesn't bother me at all. They can go ahead and say whatever they want. I did my job well, and I've proved to them that I am a capable person myself."
"I've been working so hard for the past year, and yet you are dismissing me without a valid reason. What right do you have to do that? Is it because I'm your secret lover, so to you, I'm inferior to the other employees?"
After Vanessa was done speaking her mind, Julien finally understood what she was talking and worrying about. However, he did not explain to her, but continued with his work.
"Julien, why are you not saying anything? Is this the attitude a President should have towards his subordinates?" Vanessa roared in anger, "You froze my bank account the day before yesterday and forced me to resign today. What on earth are you doing? Are you trying to kill me? If you want my life, just say it. I'll give you my life."
"Who forced you to resign?" Julien frowned. This was the first time ever he had noticed that Vanessa seemed to value this job very much. No, to be exact, what she cared about was still the money.
During her time at Rovio, she was never late, and she had completed every job that was handed to her well.
Vanessa was still in a state of exasperation, so she said in a loud voice, "Who else could it be other than you?"
Vanessa looked at Julien in a daze. She parted her lips and wanted to say something, but nothing came through her lips.
Vanessa didn't even know how she got out of the secretary's office area.
However, everything changed when the two got into the elevator. Julien immediately let go of her hand and took a step in forward. With his back facing her, Vanessa felt that he was so indifferent as if the whole world was fawning over him.
Vanessa quietly inhaled a breath of cold air and tried to calm down the emotions that he had stirred up. "Where are we going?"
Julien did not say anything.
Vanessa added, "If it's not a business trip, then where are we going?"
Julien remained silent.
Vanessa added, "You asked me out, but you're not saying anything. What on earth do you want?"
Julien still refused to answer her. He got out of the elevator then got in his car. This time, it was not the driver who was driving, but Julien himself. Vanessa noticed that and got in the backseat.
After getting into the car, Vanessa saw that Julien did not intend to start the car engine. After a few minutes, Vanessa asked, "Are you planning on having a date in the car?"
Julien looked at her from the rearview mirror and asked, "Am I your chauffeur?"
Vanessa understood what Julien meant, so she opened the car door and got in the front passenger's seat. Vanessa saw that he had a stern look on his face, so she leaned into him and kissed him. "Okay, fine! It's all my fault. Don't be angry anymore, please?"
