He knew that Eevonne was the most sensible and would care about the bigger picture the most.
"Eevonne..." He wanted to first flatter her.
However, what he never expected was that Eevonne would say, "I got it, Mister Cadigan. Don't worry. I won't be afraid of the people in power. If I'm in the right, then I am in the right. My conscience is clear. Please be rest assured that I absolutely won’t do things like resigning this time anymore. Even if Mister Cain personally came to me, I also absolutely won't
volunteer to resign. I won't betray the trust you put in me."
The director was speechless. In the end, Eevonne emphasized again, "Trust me. I
certainly won't resign! I have confidence in myself!"
The director was speechless. 'You have the confidence in yourself, but I don't have the confidence! If you were to confront Mister Cain’s daughter head-on, who could protect you? Who could do it? No matter how much I wanted to keep you, I also don't have the power to do so, Eevonne! When the time comes, if Mister Cain, one of the highest authorities in the company, came forward to make things difficult for you and make your past relationship with Dash public, as well as making the matters of you faking a resume and concealing your academic qualifications known to the public, what should you do? We’re all just poor workers, so which of us could protect you? The best solution you have right now is to resign! To resign!’
The director worried sick. However, he did not say anything out loud at all. He could only look at Eevonne eagerly as she arranged the documents seriously, created the data on the computer seriously, and printed them out seriously. After that, she reviewed the documents very seriously before signing them and handing them to the director.
"Mister Cadigan, I've checked all of this information. The profit is 0.5 percent higher than we had expected. Not only that but I've also helped the company in the downstream sector save a portion of the money. All of them are here. I've already signed them. Please have a look at them." Eevonne was very respectful. She was so respectful that the director was dumbfounded, and it was impossible for him to say anything anymore.
He had no choice but to nod incredibly passively. "Alright. Alright. Eevonne, I am truly right about you. Your ability at work is evident to all. You're the best. Trust yourself. You certainly can be the best!"
"Don't worry, sir! I would never be swayed! As long as you don’t fire me in this life, I'll be your subordinate for the rest of my life!"
Eevonne once again established her formation and also her determination. The director then carried the documents with him left. While walking away, he raised his hand and wanted to slap his own face.
'What have you said? What exactly have you said? You would only force Eevonne to a dead end like that. When the time comes, when Mister Cain's daughter, Phoebe, really joins forces with Dash and Mister Cain to expose Eevonne in the company, I really don’t know how she should pull through it.'
The director turned his head around and glanced at Eevonne's workstation. He felt a mixed feeling and just gently said," Eevonne, perhaps I shouldn't have promoted you from that storeroom back then and let you do this decent work. You were actually doing quite well and were quite fulfilled when you were in the storeroom back then. I'm the one...who has hurt you. You're on your own now. I'm sorry."
Of course, Eevonne could not hear him saying that, but she could tell that the director was actually in a difficult position. He actually wanted her to resign. However, Eevonne had already thought it through herself. She could not fail Sabrina, Sebastian, and even more so, Kingston. If it was her own disaster, then just let it come sooner. She was willing to accept it. She could also accept the moment when her past would be uncovered. It would be no big deal at all! If she could face it head-on after her past was uncovered this time, she could then become even braver in the future! Eevonne was already fully prepared and was waiting for Phoebe to come to the company to make a scene. However, what she did not expect was that it was another person who came.
