“I can tell you’re not feeling too well after your surgery, so I’ll stop arguing with you now.”
After turning the wheelchair around, Nathaniel continued, "I have to head back and rest. I'll arrange for someone to take care of you. As for going home, let's discuss it when you’re ready to be discharged."
At that point, there was nothing left to say. In addition to Lily, he also needed to consider maximizing the company's interests. It was inappropriate for Melanie to hold onto her position for a long time.
Lily quickly hopped into the shower when she got home. She felt like bad luck had assaulted her from every corner today.
Melanie was no threat to her, but the whole thing had been frustrating. Lily had not expected Melanie to use her pregnancy to frame someone. Melanie was far more vicious than she had imagined.
When Lily got out of the shower, she saw that she had a missed call from someone named “Grumpy Craftsman.”
She pursed her lips and thought that something must have happened. She pressed the redial button and waited for a moment. Finally, someone answered, and she said in a low voice, "Hello?"
"Good employees don’t skip work. Aren't you afraid that your boss will fire you?" Lily said mockingly.
Judging by how he had acted earlier, he should be pretty afraid of his boss, so he would not skip work for no reason. However, the man on the phone was irritated and did not seem to be in a joking mood. His voice was still low as he replied, "I don’t want to do it anymore. Find someone else."
After that, he wanted to hang up, but Lily shockingly replied, "Wait! Why won’t you do it? Didn't you already agree to the job? Are you not satisfied with the payment? What's the problem?"
"It's nothing. I just don't want to do it. Find someone else."
