Lily appeared to be under the weather, her brows furrowed in the shape of the moon. It had been over a week since she had last seen Darryl. He had not come home nor called back. A few times, Lily had been tempted to call him, but she recalled what happened i n the ward.
'Why is he such an egotistical man? Do I really have to call him first? Ah, whatever, leave it be!' she thought a s she entered the lobby.
Upon entering the lobby, she felt something was off. The staff at the front desk would usually stand up to greet her, but today they remained seated and continued chatting even when they saw her.
Lily frowned in confusion. Perhaps they had a rough weekend? It was just a minor mistake, so she let it be and continued making her way to the office. However, on her way there, she saw a few staff chit-chatting, and some were even playing games on their phones. The workday had started! What bothered her even more, was these people completely ignored her, treating her as if she was just air! They did not greet nor behave appropriately in front of the director of the board.
"Hey, you! Put your phones away! Who allowed you to play with your phone during work hours?" Lily stomped over and scowled.
The staff did not seem to care as they exchanged looks with one another, totally unbothered, and resumed playing with their phones. They did not care about Lily. Meanwhile, the other staff around them started giggling.
'What happened? Were they not afraid of their boss?’ Lily thought.
"Hey, the lot of you! Pack your stuff and leave now! We don't need staff like you around,” Lily ordered, trembling with anger.
Meanwhile, her assistant walked to her hastily with a n anxious and uneasy expression on her face.
"President Lyndon, something’s up...” she said.
'Something was up?' Lily wondered.
"What's up? What gives them the right not to obey the order of the President? Hey! Did you hear what I said? Pack your stuff now because you're all fired!" Lily replied calmly.
At this moment, a hoarse voice was heard coming from the door. "I asked them to.’
Granny Lyndon entered the office slowly, accompanied by William and others.
‘What was Granny doing here? As far as she could recall, Granny never left the mansion? What was she doing here today?' Lily wondered.
