Who did he think he was?
If Jacob didn't want to work here, Belinda's uncle could find him a job at the Blanchet Corporation.
Chase seemed to notice Belinda's distress, and his smile grew deeper. "Belinda, can you come to my office?"
Belinda was slightly taken aback.
Chase actually asked her to go to his office?
She didn't even want to look at Chase. She stood with her back to him, never giving him a straight look.
Belinda didn't think twice and declined his request for her to go to his office, answering him with her back turned. "Mr. Larios, I'm no longer an employee of Crescent Society, so it's not really appropriate for me to go to your office."
Chase's tone was serious but still casual. "Until you officially leave, you're still an employee here. Please cooperate."
Belinda replied with dissatisfaction. "Sorry, I can't cooperate. I've decided to quit."
She didn't look back at him. Chase walked around to her front, looked down at her eyes, and gently said, "Come to my office; let's talk about your resignation. It'll make it easier when you're looking for a job in the future."
Jacob was Belinda's boyfriend. He certainly didn't want to see another man treating his girlfriend this way, but he couldn't do anything about it. After all, that man was his boss.
Belinda was also a bit annoyed at Chase's misleading attitude, but what could she do? She didn't want to hear any more of his annoying words.
Ignoring Chase, she said to her boyfriend, Jacob. "I'm going to handle my resignation first, then we can go grab a bite."
Jacob looked at his girlfriend with a bit of worry. He instinctively didn't want her to go to Mr. Larios' office, but he couldn't control the situation, so he just nodded.
Then Belinda followed Chase to his office.
