When Miranda spoke, Theo and Natalia looked unimpressed.
Theo sneered, "Lachlan, did you tell her that you bought this factory back again? That's not very ethical of you. You'll do anything to deceive a girl!"
"Everyone knows that you're broke. Your wife divorced you and ran off with another man. How can a poor guy like you buy the factory back?" Natalia added teasingly.
Miranda furrowed her brows and turned to Lachlan, asking, "Who are they?"
Lachlan had never mentioned his former friends or employees to her before.
"Just a couple of scums," he replied dismissively. He didn't feel like introducing Theo and Natalia.
But as he stared coldly at Theo with his starry eyes, he said in a low voice, "Theo, have you hooked up with Natalia? Can you justify it to your wife who gave birth to your two daughters?"
Although Theo was already married and had two daughters with his wife, it was clear that he had been involved with Natalia.
"The hell are you talking about? Natalia and I are just colleagues! Who do think you are accusing me like this?" Theo retorted angrily but also looking embarrassed at the same time.
Then he put on a fake smile again and turned towards Miranda saying, "Hi beautiful lady! Let me introduce myself - I'm Theo - the owner of this factory earning more than $5k per month. Don't listen to this poor guy here who is just making things up."
The way Miranda carried herself made her look stunning in every aspect which made Theo's heart flutter in excitement.
"If he could get my hands on such a beauty, I would be willing to live ten years less," he thought.
He saw that Lachlan was able to "trick" Miranda into liking him, thinking that she was just a naive fool.
If Lachlan didn't introduce him, then he would introduce himself. He made sure to emphasize that he was the factory owner here and proud of his income.
When Natalia saw Theo flirting with Miranda, she had a hint of annoyance on her face. "Theo, although this woman looks average at best, she fell for Lachlan's poor act. She's obviously just an ordinary girl. Do you really have feelings for someone like her? You said you were going to divorce your wife and marry me. With my position as accounting supervisor and all the extra money I make on the side, even as a woman I earn over 3k dollars per month! It's your good fortune if you can marry me! Am I not better than an ordinary girl? Let me tell you something - don't even think about anything else!"
Upon hearing this, Theo's eyes flickered and he replied coldly, "What are you talking about? I'm just making friends."
Miranda looked at this pair of men and women with disdain in her eyes. "You two don't need to think too much about it anymore - starting tomorrow both of you will be kicked out from here!"
The beautiful CEO spoke coldly with authority.
Upon hearing this statement, Theo and Natalia were stunned for a moment before their faces showed traces of sneering laughter.
"What kind of joke are you playing?" asked Theo sarcastically.
Natalia sneered, "Get out of here? Who do you think you are, you loser?"
"Just because my husband bought this place and gave it to me. From now on, I'm in charge! You all will be fired!" Miranda said as she grabbed Lachlan's arm.
"Haha... hahaha... you're so funny! You really believe what Lachlan told you?" Theo burst into laughter as if he had heard the world's biggest joke.
Natalia also pointed at Lachlan with a mocking expression and exaggeratedly covered her stomach. "You're killing me! Just because of him, he bought this place and gave it to you? If he could buy this place, I would crawl into the factory on my knees every day for work. Hahaha..."
"You won't have a chance to crawl in there," Lachlan said coldly.
