Cupid's Arrow Hit On Me novel (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 298

John even picked up the scattered basket and fruits that were tossed out by Elisa.

A fruit basket cost a couple of hundred bucks.

The Hunts would rather eat the fruits than give them to Serenity.

As if Serenity cared. It was not like she never ate fruits before.

John took a ride in Mike’s car to get to Serenity’s shop. He got into the car and called his boss, Mr. Ziegel, right away. John wanted to explain to Mr. Ziegel about the earlier incident.

Unfortunately, Mr. Ziegel had already received notice from the headquarters. Before John could finish talking, Mr. Ziegel expressed his regret. “John, the dispute between you and your cousins is simple and easily resolvable. You could’ve apologized with earnestness and issued a public apology online. Not only will your cousins forgive you, but the online community will also let the thing go since you’re willing to admit fault and change for the better.

“But what did you do? You’ve been on suspension for a while, but you couldn’t even take care of the matter. Things have only gotten ugly. You angered Ms. Stone and disappointed the headquarters. Arrange for a time to do your handover at the office. I’d suggest you refrain from looking for a job for now. Ms. Stone would make it hard for you to get a job in the city.”

“Mr. Ziegel… Mr. Ziegel… I…”

Mr. Ziegel had hung up on him.

Furious, John was tempted to smash the phone.

How was he supposed to know that Serenity and Elisa were good friends? It never crossed his mind that Elisa would overhear his threats.

Behind the wheel, Mike asked his cousin, “Do you reckon there’s a way out of this?”

“I’m told to return to the office for a handover. Mr. Ziegel suggests that I don’t look for a job for now. Ms. Stone will be out to get me.”
