CHAPTER 715 REVEAL HER TRUE COLOURS
Ten or so minutes later, the office door was pushed open once more. Elliot looked tired as he walked in unsteadily. "I heard Joe saying that you were looking for me?"
Henry frowned in dissatisfaction as he saw Elliot looking so dispirited. "What's the matter with your appearance?"
"What's wrong with my appearance?" Elliot looked down at himself and felt like there was nothing wrong. His complexion was just a little pale after drinking.
Henry pursed his thin lips. "Anyway, let me ask you, what’s your relationship with that woman?"
"That woman?" Elliot was taken aback for a moment and he suddenly realised that Henry was referring to Mandy. There was suddenly a touch of disgust on his beautiful face. "I don’t have a relationship with her!"
"If you don’t have any relation to her, why would you take her in as an assistant and bring her home?"
Henry narrowed his eyes, obviously in disbelief of his reply.
Elliot rubbed the tip of his nose. "Well, I admit that I initially had feelings for her. I thought she was very interesting and had the intention of developing a relationship with her. However, I didn't expect her to b e a hypocritical woman. She stayed by my side because of you."
Henry's eyes sank as he held his tongue.
Indeed, he did not know that Mandy liked him at first.
He only found out after what happened this morning.
Henry rubbed his temples as he felt his head aching." Well, Mandy Lovett should no longer stay in the Lancaster Group. You need to send her away."
"I've already notified the personnel department to inform her." Elliot shrugged his shoulders.
Henry replied, "Good."
"Anything else? If there’s nothing else, I'll go back to the office to take a quick nap. I didn't sleep well last night," Elliot said with a yawn.
Henry looked at him with disgust. "How was the social gathering you talked about last night?"
"I attended it personally. Do you think I'd miss it?” Elliot sneered, "He'll send someone over in the afternoon to discuss the details of our cooperation."
"Got it. Now get out of here." Henry waved his hand impatiently and asked him to leave.
Elliot could not wait to leave as he turned around to take his leave.
Just as Elliot was about to go back to his office after getting out of the elevator, he saw someone standing outside the door to his office. It was Mandy.
Mandy was wearing a white long dress and had straight long hair. She bit her lip and stood there like she was about to cry as she looked at him with red eyes.
"President..."
Elliot frowned. "Why are you here?"
Mandy squeezed her hands together. "I heard from the manager of the personnel department that you fired m e?"
Elliot was noncommittal as he replied, "Yes, so you'd better leave now!"
"No!" Mandy shook her head. "I won't leave. I applied for the job with my own hard work and made no mistakes. Why did you fire me?"
"Why? Do you really think you made no mistake?" When Elliot heard her words, he was so angry that he burst out laughing. He lowered his head slightly as he looked at her condescendingly. "Indeed, you applied for the job with your own hard work. However, did you come here to work? You were here for Henry, so the Lancaster Group wouldn’t want an employee who has ulterior motives like you!"
Mandy's eyes flashed with guilty conscience. "I admit that I came here for my own selfish reasons. However, I didn't make any mistakes at work, did I?"
"It's not about you not making any mistakes. You literally have the easiest job of serving tea and water. I f you made any mistakes doing that, then with all due respect, you're just a useless piece of trash, get it?" Elliot rebutted her mercilessly.
Mandy's face turned pale in aggravation.
How could he say that to her?
Over the past few days, he was still soft spoken when h e spoke to her. He was thoughtful and cared for her. However, to think he actually said those things just because she liked the chairman instead of him.?
If that was the case, then he was just too petty.
The more Mandy thought about it, the more aggravated she felt. Tears welled up in her eyes. "How can you blame me? You were the one who told me to d o things like serve tea and water. You could've asked me to do other things."
"Enough. What’s the use of saying all these things now? When I asked you to serve tea and water, you didn't refuse, did you? Now, you're putting the blame o n me for not giving you other tasks. It's ridiculous.
Just go. Don’t stay in the Lancaster Group anymore." Elliot chased her away with a cold expression.
Mandy shook her head violently. "I won't leave. When I signed the contract, it clearly stated that you can't fire an employee if they didn’t commit any major mistakes!"
How could she leave?
If she left, she would lose any and all roads that led to
Henry.
Elliot narrowed his eyes, with a dangerous expression plastered on his face. "A major mistake? You're attempting to seduce the chairman of the company, is that mistake major enough?"
"I didn't..." Mandy widened her eyes and denied immediately.
Elliot raised his arm. "No? So what happened this morning was staged? Don't forget, the Lancaster's family residence is full of surveillance. Say, if I posted what you said to my sister-in-law on the Internet, what would everyone think of you?"
When Mandy heard this, she was stunned and could not believe her ears. "You... You want to expose me?"
"You wanted my elder brother and even had the thought of replacing my sister-in-law. Why shouldn't I expose you? Leave now, or else." Elliot was already impatient and did not want to continue talking to her. He waved his hands as he asked her to leave.
Mandy did not dare to continue provoking him any longer so she lowered her head as she cried, quickly taking her leave.
She was afraid that this man would really expose her i f she stayed.
He was just too vile. She just did not like him. Did he have to treat her like that?
Mandy left the Lancaster Group and stood outside the gate of the Lancaster Group. She looked up at the building and her heart was filled with dismay.
She did not know how she ended up getting fired but her heart was unreconciled.
Unable to just let it go, she steeled her resolve to find a way to come back here again.
Only then would she be able to see Henry every day.
As Mandy thought about it, a red supercar stopped in front of her. The window rolled down, and Nana's beautiful face was seen.
When Mandy saw her, her eyes lit up as she shouted i n surprise, "Nana!"
Nana did not respond and she simply looked at her expressionlessly.
The surprise on Mandy's face slowly sank as her expression became one of a lost and helpless girl." Nana, what's wrong with you? Why are you looking at me like this? Did I do something wrong?"
"Mandy, you're so good at pretending!" Nana finally said something, her tone full of irony.
Mandy was stunned. "Pretending? What do you think I'm pretending about?"
"You're still pretending to be clueless. You obviously have ulterior motives but you pretended to be pure and naive to lie to me. It's really disgusting!" Nana roared angrily.
Mandy's expression seemed like she still did not understand what Nana meant. She blinked. "Lied to you? Nana, what are you talking about? What did I lie t o you about?"
"Didn't you lie to me about Henny? You obviously like Henny, but you didn't tell me and tricked me into taking you to the Lancaster house. Do you dare say you didn't?" Nana pointed at her.
Mandy's face froze and she lowered her head, knowing full well she was in the wrong. "I'm sorry, Nana. I didn't mean to lie to you. I really didn't know that Henry was the person you liked at first. I only found out after I saw him." This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
"Shut up!" Nana yelled at her, "Whoever told you that you could call Henny by name? Henny's not even that close to you."
"Sorry, I just got used to it so it’s hard for me to change right away." Mandy waved her hand and quickly apologized.
