Billionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game novel Chapter 252

Meanwhile, Madeleine, who had spent the whole night writing, was still sound asleep. Suddenly, her phone started to ring like the fire alarm, waking her up.

Half-asleep, Madeleine fumbled on the desk for her phone and tapped on the answer button without glancing at the caller ID, mumbling in a baby-like soft voice, "Whoever on the other end, you’d better have something urgent to tell me, or I’ll kill you for interrupting my sleep before I send you to hell."

Her words sounded even more malicious against her tender voice.

"My goodness, how can you be sleeping in such an emergency? Come to the company quick. Boss says he’s going to fire you," said Madeleine’s editor urgently on the phone. Madeleine was her best-selling author, so without Madeleine, her career might be brought to a standstill. Besides, the cooperation between her and Madeleine was pleasant. Compared to other authors, Madeleine was quite competent and conscientious, despite her occasional procrastination.

Madeleine sobered up at once, her hand trembling, not with fear, but with anger and confusion.

It had been almost three years since Madeleine had signed her current company. At first, her works were considered trash. But gradually, she had won more and more readers and sold more and more books, and finally, her works were on best-seller lists online. It could be said that the company and her editor had witnessed Madeleine grow from a scribbler to a best-selling author, and of course she was astonished to hear that her boss was about to fire her all of a sudden.

"But why? Give me a reason." With thousands of ideas flashing across her mind, this was the only thing Madeleine could say at last.

Her editor blurted, "And you’re asking me why? Just get yourself ready and come over here ASAP. I have no time to explain."

Madeleine was annoyed to be hung up on, but she still got out of bed, washed up quickly and changed her clothes, leaving.

It took her almost an hour to arrive at the company, while her editor had long been waiting for her at the entrance.

"Finally, you came. Madeleine, come up with me now. Remember, choose your words carefully and stay calm when you meet Mr. Harrison later. You know he likes you, so keep cool and try your best to keep your contract. You’re a best-selling author, and it’d be a great loss of our company to fire you. I think there must be some misunderstanding between you," gushed the editor.

Madeleine kept a straight face and replied, "I also want to figure out what’s going on exactly. I’ve always worked well with the company, and I hope I’ll get a reasonable excuse from Mr. Harrison. Otherwise, there’d be no way he’d fire me so easily. I come from no powerful background, but I’ve earned everything I own today by myself. How dare he fire me as he wishes? What am I, a piece of garbage? That can be thrown away at any time?"

The editor was worried to hear Madeleine say so. "Madeleine, you have to keep your temper under control and stay calm in the office later. Making a scene would only make everyone look bad."

Madeleine took a deep breath and assured her, "I see, Miss Look Good. I’ll try my best to keep my temper under control. But if the boss must fire me, I can’t guarantee you that. After all, I’m not a buck, and I don’t fancy being passed around."
