Chapter 99
Congratulations
absent from work
ason today!
What are you waiting for? Why don’t you get back to
ork now?” Nigel squinted at Mariela
“Ms. Tate said that I could have a personal leave today Mariela argued, in
low voice
“Ms Tate, Ms Tate Do all of you plan to go against me with the excuse of Ms. Tate? Well, do you think that I dread her?
Nigel paced back and forth Looking at the girl, who was unconvinced in front of him, and then at the other employees who were too scared to say anything, Nigel felt a sudden flash of anger in his heart
“I doubt if she graduated from high school when I started my management over a company!
“I set an example to you over the past year, but you learn nothing, apart from her bad temper
“Well, do all of you want to go against me?
“Do you know that I can fire all of you?”
Many employees lowered their heads and exchanged one glance with each other
“Ms. Tate is a very good person…” Mariela bit her lower lip and spoke up for Paige
Mariela thought, she is only 18 years old but can make the company prosper She is very talented in design and always comes up with many new ideas to greatly improve our design works
At the same time, she is a good leader who cares for her employees and solves their problems….
I don’t think I can find another good boss like her.
‘She backs you up, so you don’t take me seriously, do you? You choose her side, don’t you? You know what, I insist that you were absent from work for no reason today! What do you think? You may quit if you don’t agree with my decision!”
After the speech, Nigel took two steps away. Right then, a stone came out of the blue and hit Nigel on the knee….
Caught off guard, Nigel fell forward. His chin hit the plant pot on the ground and instantly bled.
“Mr. Ingram, are you alright…”
Before the employees figured out what had happened, Nigel was lying on the ground. Nigel felt too painful to get up by himself.
Mariela was startled. She didn’t understand why Nigel had fallen all of a sudden. Mariela wondered, is his cerebellum under development? Or does cerebellar atrophy happen to him because of age?
“Oh, Mr. Ingram, you are too excited!”
A cold voice suddenly sounded in the room.
The crowd looked in the direction of the voice and saw Paige.
Mariela saw Paige and became a bit excited as if she saw her savior.
Paige was domineering and cool. She coldly looked at the man on the ground. “I allowed Mari to take a leave. Well, do I need your
permission for that?”
Nigel held his chin, and it hurt so much that he could not speak.
A few employees went to help Nigel get up from the ground.
Looking at the girl in front of him, Nigel wanted to say something. However, he couldn’t make a sound because his chin was so
painful.
He pointed to Paige and then left for the pain.
“ʼn think he will have to go to see a doctor first. Looking in the direction where Nigel had left, Mariela felt sorry for Nigel
“Yes, I think so
“Ms. Tate, thank you for helping me out just now, as well as that house Mariela thought that she couldn’t express her gratitude in
words
Before Mariela finished her speech, Paige said gently, “Just focus on work
