Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 787

Chapter 787 Are You Telling Me What to Do?

While everyone was panicking, Elise stood by calmly and looked on. Finally, someone noticed her.

“Anastasia is back!”

“She appeared!”

“She’s here! She’s here!”

At the same time, everyone in the office put down the work in their hands and looked toward Elise. For the minute that followed, everyone seemed to have turned to stone as they stood still at their positions. Only the phone ringtones here and there reminded Elise that it wasn’t a still-life photo.

When the manager caught wind of it, he immediately rushed out of his office and showered reprimands on Elise.

“Anastasia! What are you trying to do?! I wasn’t bad to you, so why would you do this? What merit do you gain from the company shutting down? Do you hate us so much that you want us to be homeless and live on the streets?!”

Elise put on an innocent expression as she flapped a hand in front of her nose in disdain.

It was already afternoon, but his mouth was still so foul. How pissed he must have been!

The manager was stumped by her actions, and he frowned even deeper. “What do you mean by this? You messed up big time, but you seemed to be the one annoyed. Are you trying to rebel against us?”

Elise curved her lips into a fake smile. “Wow, you’re very smart, sir. You got it right.”

The manager was stunned, and his smile froze on his face. “What did you say?”

Elise crossed her arms and raised her voice on purpose. “I said, I am trying to rebel against you. Did I make myself clear?!”

“You—” The manager was at a loss for words. “So you’re trying to cause problems for the company on purpose?”

“Hey, wait a second,” Elise interrupted. “Watch your mouth. Tell me, what problems exactly have I caused the company?”

“How dare you run your mouth at times like this! Yesterday, I passed you some projects, and also your colleagues also entrusted their reports to you. You probably never even touched them and just left them on the table!” The manager pointed at her desk, furious.

“Who said that?” Elise was calm. “I read every single file just to wait until you guys get off work!”

“I don’t care if you read it or not. Quite a number of projects have problems cropping up, so you have to bear the responsibility!” The manager put his hands on his hips, so pissed that he kept gasping for breath.

“I can shoulder the responsibility, no problem, but don’t think you can get away scot-free,” said Elise.

The manager looked up in surprise, as if he had heard the greatest joke of all time. He sneered, “Why, are you trying to put the blame on me?”

“Who’s putting the blame on who, I wonder? You’re the manager, but you entrusted an important company project to an employer who had just returned from a long break. In terms of responsibility, you’re the first to be held responsible,” Elise said defiantly.

“I make the rules here, and if I say you’re responsible, then you’re responsible. No one can change that!” The manager acted like a superior as he glared warningly at Elise.
