Jean glared at Winston coldly.After seeing how desolate the man's wife had looked just now, a thought suddenly popped into Jean's mind. She realized that she shouldn't rely too much on Tyler.A while later, Terence and Wilson finally arrived.Upon seeing the two men, Winston immediately got up from his seat and greeted them with a lowered head."Mr. Weiss, Mr. Pugh," he called out.Terence shot Winston a cold look. "I don't think someone who can't handle his own family issues should be responsible for such a huge project."Pack your things and head to the finance department to hash out details with your pay. I want you to hand everything you're working on to Mr. Pugh immediately."Upon hearing that, Winston's expression changed. He immediately started begging for forgiveness."Mr. Weiss, I've worked at Weiss Group for so many years. I might not have garnered any merits, but I did put in a lot of hard work …"After hearing Winston's words, Jean, who had been sitting quietly on
Jean couldn't help but laugh upon hearing Robin's reply."See? Between Mr. Weiss and that blind date of yours, you're still prioritizing Mr. Weiss. It just proves that whoever the other person is, he's not as important to you as Mr. Weiss," Jean said.Robin felt embarrassed at being called out like that. Just as she was about to retort, she saw Terence and Wilson walking out of the branch office.Robin's demeanor suddenly became more reserved.Upon seeing Robin, Terence nodded in greeting and asked, "Did you drive here yourselves?"Robin nodded. "Yes, we did."Terence's expression remained unchanged as he walked past Robin and Jean."I need to drop by Weiss Group for a while. Wilson, go drive Ms. Sage's car. Ms. Sage and Ms. Michaels will be riding with me," he said in a low voice.Terence's tone gave no room for negotiation.Robin hesitated for a moment. She thought about refusing, but Jean had already grabbed her by the hand and made her follow behind Terence with her.Ther
Robin looked incredibly hesitant. She didn't know whether she should answer the call or not.At this moment, Terence glanced over at her and asked, "Why aren't you answering your phone?"Robin was taken aback by the sudden question and was stunned for a moment. Then, she smiled awkwardly. "Sorry, I'll take the call now."With that, she took a deep breath and put her phone to her ear to answer Lukas' call."Hi, this is Robin Sage."Robin's voice was a bit stiff. She felt really out of sorts with Terence sitting right beside her.On the other end of the call, Lukas smiled slightly when he heard her voice. "Ms. Sage, it's Lukas Jenkins. Didn't you save my phone number from last time?" he asked.Robin pursed her lips and answered in a low voice, "I did."Chuckling, Lukas said, "Well, since you saved my number, why do you sound so formal? You can skip all the pleasantries around me, you know."Robin had been careful to steady her voice throughout the conversation.Even though she
Terence got out of the car right away, and the receptionist at the entrance immediately rushed over to welcome him."Mr. Weiss," she greeted.Terence's expression was stern. He glanced at Robin and Jean, who had just gotten out of the car, and said in a deep voice, "Take Ms. Michaels and Ms. Sage to the reception hall."Nodding, the receptionist walked over to Jean and Robin.Jean watched Terence leave hurriedly and couldn't help but smirk a little.When she turned around, she noticed that Robin's expression was still pretty calm. "Mr. Weiss seems pretty mad," she remarked quietly.Robin flashed an awkward smile and whispered back, "I didn't notice."It was true. She hadn't paid any attention to Terence's expression because they had been discussing Lukas. Robin did not dare to look at Terence at all.The receptionist approached them with a professional smile and said, "Ms. Sage, Ms. Michaels, please follow me."Jean reached out to link arms with Robin and said, "Well, I don't
Her signal was too late. Jean and Robin had already reached them.Robin walked to the sink to wash her hands and stood next to the receptionist who had spilled tea on her. She then calmly said, "I've always thought that the receptionists at Weiss Group aren't capable enough, but you surprised me."The receptionist's expression became a little unsettling when she realized that she had been caught red-handed speaking ill of others."Ms. Sage, it was a misunderstanding," the receptionist said with some embarrassment after taking a deep breath and fixing her facial expression. Jean placed her gaze on Robin and noticed that she remained calm. She was unshaken by what had been said earlier.It was quite obvious that she had gotten used to dealing with such comments. Compared to men, women were associated with lower status in the workplace. They would still be criticized even when they put in the hard work.Robin was a capable and attractive woman, but people often overlooked her
Robin calmly looked at the two receptionists in front of her. The look in her eyes remained the same.Those who worked as receptionists at Weiss Group were often attractive.At this moment, the receptionist who spoke ill of Robin had an extremely nervous look on her face. She apologized immediately."Ms. Sage, I'm sorry for speaking thoughtlessly … I heard about it from someone else … I … didn't mean it …"Robin's expression remained stoic. She responded slowly, "Because of your thoughtless speech, my reputation will be damaged, and even my boss will be dragged into this matter. There's no way I'm going to let you get away with this just because of an apology."We're all professionals in the workplace. You should take responsibility for the mistakes you make." The two receptionists fell silent.Jean glanced at one of the receptionists and said, "Get your boss here to sort this out." The two receptionists were completely silent as they were afraid to speak or apologize. A
After all, Wilson was Tyler's right-hand man. Seeing Wilson making such assurance, Tyler had no reason to dwell much on this matter.The person who gossiped has already been dismissed. As for the other person, Robin was curious about her identity.Even someone like Wilson was wary of her. She must have used some kind of connection to get into Weiss Group.Robin spared some time and quietly asked Wilson, "About the receptionist just now, does she have some kind of connection in the company?"Due to their working relationship, Robin and Wilson were quite close. Thus, Wilson had no reason to hide the truth from Robin when she asked about the receptionist."She's the niece of Mr. Weiss' uncle, Mr. Chandler."Upon hearing this information, she immediately understood Wilson's words. Robin was right about the receptionist.Otherwise, even if the receptionist hadn't said anything in that situation, both receptionists would have been fired together to ensure a fair result.Seeing Robi
Both Jean and Robin felt embarrassed as they glanced at each other.Those subordinates would have defended the person in charge if they had not intervened in the matter at Weiss Group's branch.But after they intervened, those subordinates dared not conceal anything from them.As for the receptionist, they had indirectly caused her to get fired too. Terence glanced at Tyler and said steadily, "I won't allow employees with disciplinary issues to stay in my company."They had been hiding their true colors well. Thanks to Ms. Sage, I finally got to weed them out."Terence's words made Tyler smile.Meanwhile, Terence continued calmly, "Since you feel bad about me losing two employees, send me one of your capable employees."Terence didn't sound like he was kidding. He was serious about it.Jean immediately tugged Robin's hand.As expected, Tyler replied in a deep voice, "I only have Robin and Chris as my capable employees in the president's office. How about I send Robin over to
