He put down the phone, “Ms. Flores, you came all the way here, and you're strange to City B. As a business partner, I can't let you feel aggrieved.”
Amanda stood by the door and looked at him, “Aren't you afraid that she'll be angry with you?”
“I have nothing to do with her,” he regretted after saying that because he did not need to explain to her whether he had a relationship with Lindsay.
He felt that he was too impulsive and pressed his eyebrows with his fingers very hard. He hated the feeling of being out of his control.
Amanda walked over to the desk, drew a chair, and sat down.
Tap!
Someone had tapped on the door at this time. Lindsay was in a business suit and was wearing delicate makeup. She was happy when she received the call from the secretary.
She was still smiling when she pushed the door, but after she saw Simona in the office, the smile on her face gradually disappeared.
“Mr. James,” she glanced at Simona before turning her gaze to Stanford, “Why are you looking for me?”
“You went to Ms. Flores just now?” Stanford asked directly.
Lindsay suddenly clenched her hands and smiled awkwardly, “Yes...”
“Apologize to Ms. Flores.”
Stanford gave an order directly before she had time to explain.
Lindsay could not believe it and thought she had misheard, “Stanford, what did you say? You ask me to apologize to her?”
“You went to the hotel to find me today and broke my phone as well. I didn't wrong you, Ms. Leroy. Did I?” Amanda crossed her legs elegantly and looked at her indifferently.
“What are you talking about, Ms. Flores? I don't get it.”
Amanda was bending over the desk, looked at Stanford with interest, and said with a smile, “Mr. James, this young lady, who likes you, has a poor moral quality. She just did something wrong but then denies it now. How does she become the department chief with such a character?”
Stanford's face turned pale, “It has nothing to do with work.”
She acted as she had a moment of enlightenment, “Oh, so J&Y Group only focuses on the ability of the employee regardless of their character. Even if the person has poor character, the person still can win herself a place in J&Y Group. I'm impressed with your generosity to the management strategies, Mr. James.”
Lindsay, who stood by the side, got angry. She rebuked loudly to Simona regardless of the presence of Stanford, “Don't go too far. Stop slinging mud at me. When did I go to you...”
“Lindsay!” Stanford thought that they could settle the matter after she apologized to Simona. He did not expect Lindsay would refuse to admit it. He took a deep breath to suppress the anger that was about to explode, “I ask you to apologize to Ms. Flores.”
Lindsay stood still, and her body tensed up, “I won't apologize to her. I didn't do wrong.”
Amanda leaned back in the chair and was anticipating the charade, “Ms. Leroy, you keep against the boss, don't you afraid of getting fired? Or you're not afraid of getting fired because of taking advantage of the fact that the boss values you?”
Stanford looked at Simona, “Ms. Flores, do you want to have a good laugh at me, don't you?”
“It's not that I want to laugh at you. It's because of Ms. Leroy, who wants to show me her acting, so I have to watch the show,” Amanda leaned back in the chair lazily and looked relaxed, and it was a look of watching a good show.
“Lindsay, would I ask you to apologize to her for no reason if she has no evidence?” Stanford did not like Lindsay, but he definitely would not expect that she was the kind of person who would lie and would deny what she had done.
He felt more disappointed at her than that of losing face in front of the outsider.
“I...”
Lindsay wanted to explain to him, but Amanda interrupted her, “Ms. Leroy, you better hurry up. I don't have time to spend with you here.”
Lindsay could only feel her blood was flowing backwards. She would have grabbed Simona's collar and slapped her in the face violently if she lost her senses.
