“Try again! If you still can’t get through, go to her house and drag her here! How dare she skip coming to work?!” Nathaniel rebuked, but he felt he had not fully expressed his anger. After pondering for a moment, he said, “Forget it. I’ll do it myself!”Then he drove back to the company and headed straight to the HR Department as soon as he arrived. “Get me Olivia Hart’s information. She left her position without getting prior approval from higher management. Tell the Legal Department to devise the appropriate punishment and compensation for this case.”One of the executives from the HR Department looked at Nathaniel and said, “Mr. Hall, Olivia submitted her resignation letter more than a month ago. According to the Labor Law, she can leave her job position 30 days after submitting her resignation letter regardless of your approval.”“What kind of stupid law is that? Why haven’t I heard of it before?” Nathaniel was astonished as this was not something he had expected. He was under
“Sorry, I overslept.” Lily looked at Olivia. “I guess I don’t need to introduce you two to each other.”“We’re a team from today onward! Just drop the formalities,” Jenny said with a smile as she put her hand around Olivia’s shoulders.“Jen, you’re so biased! You weren’t this kind to me back then.” Lily shook her head, fighting against the injustice she went through.“That’s different. I thought you made it here because of your connections back then, but I approved of Olivia coming in this way.” Jenny joked and patted Olivia on her shoulder.“You sure have double standards!” Lily exclaimed, chuckling before she continued, “Well then. Let’s get to work now that you’re here. Coincidentally, I lack staffing here. I want to find out the new product’s formula as soon as possible.”“Sure, you two get to work then. You can complete the paperwork for your recruitment in a few days, right? Just head to the HR Department to complete them,” Jenny said.The question was for Olivia, to which
Back when they were still working at MN Inc., Olivia would give Lily shoulder massages too. It had been a long time since she last did it. Lily did not refuse her offer and turned around, sweeping her hair to one side and revealing her slender neck. With both hands, Olivia massaged Lily's shoulders, applying just enough pressure to make Lily feel better after the muscles in her neck had relaxed."It's so good to have you here. I was overwhelmed the past two days and feel much more relaxed with you here." Lily raised her head and closed her eyes as the massage made her slightly sleepy.It would be a long process to create a new product. After all, the product had to be tested several times before being launched. Now that Olivia was here, Lily did not have to do everything alone."In that case, you should consider giving me a salary increase, shouldn't you?" Olivia joked."Hey! Who asks for a pay raise on their first day of work? You're going to scare your boss away!" Lily said in
“What do you mean by that? What’s his name? Let me see if I know the guy.”“You’ll find out soon enough!” Lily raised her hand and patted Olivia’s shoulder. Lily stood up and changed the topic, “Liv, it might be more challenging to create this new product, and work would be tougher, too.”“You make it sound like our work was easy back then. Don’t worry about it. Just lead the project and leave the preparations to me.” Olivia smiled.“I knew you’re the best assistant I could ever ask for!”When they returned to the lab, Lily first checked the extracted samples. They were, as expected, nothing like what she wanted.It was essential to use high-quality components, but the extraction and purification techniques necessary to achieve the desired scent were also crucial. The complicated procedure had to be carried out repeatedly before it could be considered a success.The launch of a new perfume in the market involved many hours of hard work by the perfumers. Those who would steal th
Nathaniel resented Lily but had no power over her. Hence, he shifted his target to Olivia, which would indirectly affect Lily.“What am I going to do?” Olivia’s mood worsened as she held the piece of paper. “I can’t work here anymore?”Jenny nodded. She also felt terrible when she heard about it. Recruiting a new employee for Rebirth was simple, but it was difficult to manage legal matters on her own.“Don’t worry just yet. I’ll figure something out.” Lily comforted Olivia.Every problem has its solution. They were only confused because it came out of the blue.Lily thought to herself, 'Nathaniel sure moves fast. Today was Olivia's first day, and he’d already sent her the letter. This means he’d been keeping an eye on us, so I guess he wasn’t serious when he claimed we’d go our separate ways. ‘Look what he did now. How could we part ways if he continued bothering me? I held off getting even with them, but they can’t wait for sh*t to happen to them. If so, I’ll be merciless!’Th
Nothing was set in stone, after all, and one must be smart enough to think outside the box and find other ways to deal with life.‘I should stop playing defensively and strike back whenever someone provokes me. It’s about time I retaliate and show those two I’m not someone to be trifled with.’When Alexander arrived home, the sight of Lily lying on her stomach on the couch welcomed him. Her laptop was in front of her as her fingers gracefully typed away on her keyboard. Lily crossed her calves mid-air while focusing all her attention on the screen.It was rare to see Lily working on her laptop at home in such a position. Alexander put down his things and changed into his house slippers before peeking over to see what Lily was doing. She had several tabs on her screen, registering for a troll account on a certain website.“What’s up?” Alexander went to pour himself a glass of water and brought one for Lily as well.Lily adjusted her posture and sat cross-legged with her laptop on h
Lily admitted that she changed the formulas before leaving MN Inc. to mess things up for them, but she was unsure of the damage it could cause them. “It sounds like you’re confident about this. There’s nothing I should be worried about then,” Alexander said, his gaze filled with adoration for Lily while he caressed her hair.Lily turned to look at him. She pulled his arm over her shoulders and then laid down on his lap, saying in a cutesy manner, “That’s not it. You need to be ready at all times to support me. What if they bully me? You must get a team of lawyers to defend me in court!” ‘She sure knows how to tease me. Everything she did and each of her gazes could strike me right in my heart. Seeing her this way makes me want to give the world to her.’“Does this mean I must do everything you ask?”“Aren’t you willing to do that for me?” Lily frowned, looking aggrieved. However, her bright gaze gave her away, revealing her mischief.“I’m at your disposal, my lady,” Alexander s
"Lily, are you out of your mind? You're acting like a dog with rabies! What do you think you're doing?" Nathaniel started shouting from the other end as soon as Lily picked up the call. Fortunately, Lily had expected him to act that way, so she ensured the phone was away from her ears. Lily was not angry at all at the face of his insults. She smirked and replied coldly, "Mr. Hall, a dog with rabies bites anyone in its path. However, unlike you, I know exactly who I’m going after, so I’ll only attack you!" "You…" Nathaniel inhaled deeply. He would have torn her to pieces if Lily had been in front of him. "Lily Christian, I know what you want. I’ve ensured Olivia Hart won't be your lap dog anymore, so you're coming at me for revenge." "Finally, we've come to an understanding. By the way, you shouldn't insult dogs. They're intelligent and loyal creatures, much better than you could ever be," she added in a frigid tone. She did not care if Nathaniel insulted her, but
