Chapter 74
Hug Me for a While
“I… I know that it was his fault. He was greedy for money and purchased bad ingredients. But, look, none of our employees have gone to the hospital because of this, and the company has also compensated them. Could you please show him your mercy and let him
go?”
“How?” Paige asked.
“We can just let it go. He can provide the employees with half a year… No, one year’s food for free. Don’t worry, I will definitely keep an eye on him and pay attention to the ingredient quality. I won’t allow him to mess around again!”
“But it exactly happened under your nose, Mr. Ingram.”
Paige fell her gaze on Nigel, with a little sense of aggressiveness, “Don’t you feel you should also be responsible for it at all, Mr.
Ingram?”
“Yes, I am indeed responsible…” Nigel lowered his head. He would never come to beg this little girl in front of him if he could pull
some strings this time.
“If you think that it is okay to feed our employees with food additives, why don’t you join them? Eat with our employees for a year, and
we will talk about this again.”
“You must be kidding. Ms. Tate…”
Nigel smiled fawningly and said, “One year… Then Gary has to stay in prison for a year too.”
“Don’t you think it is a better way?”
Nigel dared not to make a sound.
“At least it is healthier for both of you.”
Nigel was completely speechless.
“You are the vice president of the company, but you didn’t reflect on yourself after Gary was caught. You never considered how to” compensate our employees. Instead, you are trying your best to make Gary clean again, just because he is your relative. I don’t know how you have the nerve to show your face and tell me this b*llsh*t. If you want me to solve this in your way, the answer is no.”
Hearing Paige’s firm tone, Nigel felt desperate. But now that Gary was caught, it was very likely that he would get involved too. Thinking of it, Nigel had to bite the bullet and continue
“Ms. Tate, I came here today because Gary’s family and mine are particularly close. My eighty-nine-year-old mother almost fainted when she learned that Gary was caught. She cried and begged me to bail him out….
“His family also came to beg me. I promise. I wouldn’t come to you if I had options….
“We just can’t bear to see Gary suffer…
Nigel’s voice tailed off.
“So you can bear to see your employees suffer?”
Paige raised her eyes and asked.
“…”
“There is no room for negotiation, Mr. Ingram. You should think more about yourself. Mr. Bowman is your relative. Since something like this happens, the headquarters will definitely investigate it”
When Nigel heard this, he was completely desperate. All his confidence was gone, and he slightly hunched his shoulders when he left dejectedly.
Paige enjoyed the dessert that Martin bought when she dealt with work. Soon, it was time to get off work.
It was getting dark
Martin took her to have a candlelight dinner. He seemed to have thousands of words to talk to her, but in the end, he said nothing and
silently ordered her favorite dishes.
“What’s the matter?”
Seeing the hesitant look on his face, Paige was somewhat puzzled.
“Don’t you. Don’t you like that bracelet?”
Martin looked at Paige’s beautiful eyes and seemed to be a little depressed. “Or… Don’t you like me?”
Paige was confused.
“Did I annoy you because I show up in front of you too frequently these days?”
Martin said as he picked up the hot towel and gently wiped the sauce on the corner of her lips. He eagerly waited for her answer
Only then did Paige notice that she had forgotten to wear the bracelet today.
“If you don’t like me, then I will work harder to make you like me. Please give me a little more time.
Paige was still confused.
“If you don’t like that bracelet, I will design a new one for you.”
Paige was shocked.
“Did you design that bracelet?”
She was surprised.
For Martin, designing a bracelet was not difficult at all. He had a talent for design since he was a child. According to Rhys, if Martin chose to be a designer, he would become a legend in the fashion world!
Martin’s talent in design had once caused a sensation internationally.
“Yes.”
Martin looked into her eyes with a serious and solemn expression. “Is it a problem with the bracelet or with me? If both, I will do
