The wrong Woman novel by Ginny Not Genie novel Chapter 497

"I didn't have time to request leave," Mila explained.

Jacob scoffed. "You're saying you didn't even have time to ask for leave? That's a lame excuse."

Mila took a breath and clarified calmly, "I was in a rush. The marriage proposal happened late at night, and I flew back for the wedding the next morning."

Jacob showed no sympathy. He stated angrily, "I don't care about your wedding arrangements. You'll be marked absent for a week due to unauthorized leave. Your salary for the month will be cut in half. And don't even think about receiving any bonuses this year."

Mila was really mad—her cheeks were puffing out in anger. It wasn't about the money. She just felt like she was being treated unfairly.

It was Nathan who hurried her home to get married. But, as the boss, he hadn't approved her leave in advance, so she ended up being marked absent.

The more Mila thought about it, the madder she got. She turned on her phone, and messages started pouring in.

"Wait, let me ask my husband about this," Mila said casually.

"Why do you need to ask him?" Jacob was confused.

"I want to see if he had approved my leave."

"Do you have to ask your husband for leave approval? Is he the HR manager?" Jacob smirked.

Mila held her breath as she dialed Nathan's number.

Nathan's voice came over the line. He sounded a bit excited. "Wanda, you—"

Mila interrupted him sharply, "Did you approve my leave when I returned to Phoenicia to get married?"
