His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 45

"Lily disobeyed the company's arrangements and joined another company, betraying MN Inc. in the process. That is why we've fired her,” Nathaniel said as he tossed an envelope on the table indifferently. Then he continued, “You've been with us for quite some time, and we know you’re a capable employee. Keep up the good work; we trust you will have a bright future ahead!"

Olivia looked at the thick envelope.

"Open it." Nathaniel motioned for her to open the envelope with his chin while smiling complacently. When he tossed the envelope on the table earlier, the flap opened slightly, revealing a stack of 100-dollar bills. Olivia knew the envelope contained a considerable amount of money without opening it.

"Mr. Hall, are you trying to bribe me?" Olivia asked, her brows raised, but she did not pick up the envelope.

"What are you talking about?" Nathaniel pursed his lips, shaking his head. "This is the company’s remuneration to you. As long as you keep up the good work and obey the company’s orders, you'll benefit from it."

"I'll thank the company in advance then." Olivia picked up the envelope and kept it in her pocket. After all, everyone loved money. Since it was a reward the company gave, there was no reason for her to reject it.

Nathaniel subtly let out a breath of relief when Olivia took the money obediently. He believed she was now on their side since she was willing to accept the money.

"Liv, since you are the most familiar with the company’s recent research and products, you'll be Ms. Thayer's assistant in the future.”

Then Melanie stood up and strode slowly toward Olivia, squinting and judging every inch of her." You’ve been by Lily's side for a long time. Did you learn any secret formulas or tricks from her?"

Shaking her head, Olivia said, "I'm not smart enough, so I could only assist Lily in her work. Lily designed all the formulas and concepts since she was the best perfumer in the company.”

"Shut up!" Melanie said impatiently, "The best perfumer, huh? You better cut that cr*p! You need to understand that MN Inc. is your employer now and that this company is the one paying you! Lily betrayed the company and stole our business secrets. We will punish her for that! You can continue admiring her if you wish to accompany her in prison!"
