However, his threat meant nothing to Olivia. She paused her steps and slowly turned around. The sight of his angry face made her chuckle.
"Do as you wish, Mr. Hall! From now on, I'll choose when I want to work and what time I’ll arrive. If you wish to penalize me for being late or playing hooky, go ahead!"
Then Olivia opened the door and walked out of his office.
"You're letting her go just like that?" In disbelief, Melanie stared at the door through which Olivia had exited, then turned to Nathaniel and said, “She's going to tell the press all that nonsense! How could you let her leave?"
With a dark expression, he roared in return, "What should I have done instead? We're at the company building! Do you know how many people saw her enter my office? Do you think I could lock her up?"
"What should we do now?" Melanie was anxious and bit down on her lip.
There are a lot of folks who are doubtful of her these days. The name Melanie had made for herself with much difficulty was now ruined. Thinking of it made her wish she could kill Lily.
None of them understood the reason for Lily's sudden
change. She had been obedient for the last few years but suddenly turned her back on them. Nathaniel pressed his hands on the table, and his head hung low while his fingers curled into fists. His veins popped up on his wrist as he exerted too much strength, and his knuckles cracked.
"We have to make the first move and bet on it!" He slammed his fist on the table. When he looked up again, his gaze was filled with determination. "Get our lawyers to come over right now. I'm going to sue her. Also, contact some of our classmates from university."
