"Chairman, I admit that I did something wrong, but this isn't the reason you're sending me away. It's unfair to me. Besides, the reason I came here for the interview was because of the high salary so that I can pay you back." Mandy's eyes were red as she looked at Henry.
Henry's thin lips pursed into a straight line. "So you mean that you're not leaving no matter what?"
"Yes, I won't leave. I want to stay." Mandy stood straight stubbornly.
Henry snorted, "Fine. If you want to stay, stay then." 1
When Mandy heard this, her eyes lit up.
However, before she got too carried away, Henry continued, "I'd like to see how long you can stay."
After he said that, he asked Joe to take them out.
Mandy was taken out in a daze.
After she left, she realized that what Henry said earlier clearly meant that he would make things difficult for her in the future so that she would give up on her own.
But even so, she would never back down.
It was not easy for her to buy a diploma so that she could apply for the job, so how could she leave? 1
As Mandy thought of this, she cheered herself up in her heart.
Joe gave her a meaningful look and said nothing.
At this moment, Elliot came out of the elevator while holding a file.
When he saw them outside the chairman's office, he raised his eyebrows in surprise. "What are you guys doing here?"
"President, we just came out from Chairman Lancaster's office," Joe pushed his glasses and replied.
Elliot hummed to indicate that he understood. He then looked at Mandy and when he saw that her eyes were red, he narrowed her eyes. "Did you cry? Did someone bully you?"
Mandy shook her head and didn't say anything.
Elliot looked at Joe.
Joe shrugged and explained what had just happened a t the chairman's office.
After Elliot heard it, his feelings for Mandy disappeared a little. "It turns out that you were the one who stained Yvonne's gown and picked my grandfather's flowers."
"I didn't mean it," Mandy said as her eyes turned red and she was about to cry again.
She really didn’t do it on purpose, but why did everyone think that she had done terribly wicked
things?
Elliot couldn't stand seeing women cry, so he waved his hand. "It's all right, it's all in the past. Since Henry wants you to pay, it'll be done once you pay him. It's nothing."
"I know, but the chairman doesn't quite like me and he even said he'd like to see how long I can stay here. The chairman is definitely trying to make things difficult for me. President, can you help me? Please help me persuade the chairman and tell him not to be mad at me. I just want to stay and work so that I can pay him the money back."
As Mandy said that, she grabbed Elliot's sleeve and raised her head as she looked at him earnestly.
When Elliot saw her like that, he couldn't help but think of Yvonne from a few years ago.
At that time, Yvonne would also beg someone just like that.
For a while, Elliot's heart softened and he flicked Mandy's hand off. "Okay, I get it. I'll help you persuade him."
"Okay. Thank you, President." Mandy smiled gratefully.
Elliot walked past her and into the chairman's office.
Joe sent the other four assistants away while Mandy stayed. He said with the intention of warning her, "I hope you're really just joining the Lancaster Group to repay the money. If it's for other purposes, I'd advise you to leave as soon as possible."
The expression on Mandy's face froze for an instant, and her eyes flashed. "I don't understand what you mean, Mr. Woods."
"Only you know in your heart if you really don’t understand or you're just pretending. It wouldn't be nice for me to say it out loud, so you’d better figure it out on your own."
After Joe said that, he left as well, leaving Mandy to stand alone with a stiff expression.
She didn’t know how much time had passed before the door of the chairman's office opened.
Elliot came out from the office.
Mandy hurriedly greeted him, "President, did the chairman agree?"
Elliot looked at her and shook his head slightly.
Mandy's eyes dimmed instantly.
Elliot lifted her chin. "Why don't you become my assistant?"
"Huh? Your assistant?" Mandy was stunned.
