Ten or so minutes later, the office door was pushed open once more. Elliot looked tired as he walked in unsteadily. "I heard Joe saying that you were looking for me?"
Henry frowned in dissatisfaction as he saw Elliot looking so dispirited. "What's the matter with your appearance?"
"What's wrong with my appearance?" Elliot looked down at himself and felt like there was nothing wrong. His complexion was just a little pale after drinking.
Henry pursed his thin lips. "Anyway, let me ask you, what’s your relationship with that woman?"
"That woman?" Elliot was taken aback for a moment and he suddenly realised that Henry was referring to Mandy. There was suddenly a touch of disgust on his beautiful face. "I don’t have a relationship with her!"
"If you don’t have any relation to her, why would you take her in as an assistant and bring her home?"
Henry narrowed his eyes, obviously in disbelief of his reply.
Elliot rubbed the tip of his nose. "Well, I admit that I initially had feelings for her. I thought she was very interesting and had the intention of developing a relationship with her. However, I didn't expect her to b e a hypocritical woman. She stayed by my side because of you."
Henry's eyes sank as he held his tongue.
Indeed, he did not know that Mandy liked him at first.
He only found out after what happened this morning.
Henry rubbed his temples as he felt his head aching." Well, Mandy Lovett should no longer stay in the Lancaster Group. You need to send her away."
"I've already notified the personnel department to inform her." Elliot shrugged his shoulders.
Henry replied, "Good."
"Anything else? If there’s nothing else, I'll go back to the office to take a quick nap. I didn't sleep well last night," Elliot said with a yawn.
Henry looked at him with disgust. "How was the social gathering you talked about last night?"
"I attended it personally. Do you think I'd miss it?” Elliot sneered, "He'll send someone over in the afternoon to discuss the details of our cooperation."
"Got it. Now get out of here." Henry waved his hand impatiently and asked him to leave.
Elliot could not wait to leave as he turned around to take his leave.
Just as Elliot was about to go back to his office after getting out of the elevator, he saw someone standing outside the door to his office. It was Mandy.
Mandy was wearing a white long dress and had straight long hair. She bit her lip and stood there like she was about to cry as she looked at him with red eyes.
"President..."
Elliot frowned. "Why are you here?"
Mandy squeezed her hands together. "I heard from the manager of the personnel department that you fired m e?"
Elliot was noncommittal as he replied, "Yes, so you'd better leave now!"
"No!" Mandy shook her head. "I won't leave. I applied for the job with my own hard work and made no mistakes. Why did you fire me?"
"Why? Do you really think you made no mistake?" When Elliot heard her words, he was so angry that he burst out laughing. He lowered his head slightly as he looked at her condescendingly. "Indeed, you applied for the job with your own hard work. However, did you come here to work? You were here for Henry, so the Lancaster Group wouldn’t want an employee who has ulterior motives like you!"
Mandy's eyes flashed with guilty conscience. "I admit that I came here for my own selfish reasons. However, I didn't make any mistakes at work, did I?"
"It's not about you not making any mistakes. You literally have the easiest job of serving tea and water. I f you made any mistakes doing that, then with all due respect, you're just a useless piece of trash, get it?" Elliot rebutted her mercilessly.
Mandy's face turned pale in aggravation.
How could he say that to her?
Over the past few days, he was still soft spoken when h e spoke to her. He was thoughtful and cared for her. However, to think he actually said those things just because she liked the chairman instead of him.?
