Chapter 28 A Big Blow
As soon as Christian appeared, Florence knew her fate.
It was quite unexpected to her that she could still work in the company for so long since she offended Giselle last time.
During this period, Florence worked in the company with fears, feeling as if she was walking on eggshells.
Should she be fired for no reason? It was not so easy.
Hearing Christian's dismissal of Florence, Emmett and Giselle smiled complacently, and other employees who watched the show were talking about the matter.
Some people felt sorry for Florence, and someone thought that Florence bit off more than she could chew.
When Christian stopped saying and was about to leave, Florence said, "Mr. Sawyer, I have signed a five-year labor contract with the company. The contract has not expired. You dismissed me for no reason. According to the contract, you shall pay me three times of my monthly salary and also compensate me for at least six months of salary."
Once she finished the words, the onlookers were all silent that they could even hear it even if a needle fell at this time.
Was Florence crazy?
Was she barking against the big boss?
Claiming compensation?
She must be crazy. She had simply overreached herself.
Giselle was also very surprised and said shrilly, "Florence, you are crazily poor. Why are you asking for three times your salary? My dad runs the company. He can fire whoever he wants. You count as nothing."
Emmett took the chance to chill in, "Florence, if you still want to work in this field, you’d better get out of here quickly."
Florence curled her lips, ignoring Emmett and Giselle, and looked at Christian, "Mr. Sawyer, what do you think?"
Christian grinned back and said, "This is my company. Why? I can't fire a person?"
"Of course, Mr. Sawyer, if you’re unwilling to pay my girlfriend the compensation, you can use something else to compensate. "
This voice?
Florence suddenly turned her head and looked at Alexander with a surprised expression that seemed to say "Why are you here?".
Standing behind the crowd, Courtney was relieved when she saw her son coming. Since he dared to bully her future daughter-in-law, she would let her son teach him a lesson.
Everyone looked back. The tailored suit made Alexander look taller than others and his deep facial features were full of coldness. He walked with a manner of overlooking the crowd.
Many female colleagues blushed because he was too handsome and cool.
Even Giselle was infatuated with him.
Alexander went over to her, only looking at Florence with tenderness, "Go to rest aside. I'll do the rest."
At that moment, Florence did not know why Alexander's words had magic power. She subconsciously nodded, "Okay."
She trusted and relied on Alexander unconditionally.
Countless female colleagues felt envious after seeing the scene.
Florence was so fortunate that she could have such a handsome boyfriend.
Giselle was jealous with green eyes. She looked at Florence's boyfriend, and then at Emmett. The comparison instantly showed that Emmett was nothing and her previous judgement was too poor.
Emmett also noticed Giselle's changes, and he was a little bit flustered. The appearance of Alexander made men feel embarrassed and captivated women.
Christian was also stunned by Alexander's strong aura. He had been engaged in business for decades and had seen countless people, but very few of them had such a powerful aura.
Alexander glanced at Christian coldly, with his thin lips curling lightly, "Mr. Sawyer, pay triple compensation or something else?"
Christian returned to realize that he was shocked by a young man. This was his company and so many employees were watching them. So he, the big boss, couldn't be frightened.
Christian burst with anger, "Florence's absent from work for no reason has caused heavy losses to the company. She has to bear the company's losses. Not to mention compensation, She would receive no money and then my lawyer will send you a lawyer's letter."
His words were full of complacency.
Alexander curled his lips and said something meaningful, "Mr. Sawyer. You indeed have suffered a heavy loss."
The dismissal of Florence would be the company's biggest loss.
But Christian did not realize it this now.
Alexander walked closer to Christian, and suddenly he reached out and grabbed Christian by the collar.
Everyone in the room took a deep breath.
Was he going to get physical?
Alexander had beaten Nicholas before, so Florence hurriedly said, "Alexander."
Florence didn't know that this name was a big blow for Christian.
Alexander?
The leader of the Logan family?
Christian forgot to react because of astonishment.
Wasn't there rumor that Alexander was disfigured and disabled?
Alexander didn't get physical, but just said a word in Christian's ear. No one knew what he said, but they only saw Christian's face instantly turned pale.
As soon as Alexander let go, Christian's legs were so weak that he plonked himself down on the ground.
"Dad, what's the matter with you? Dad." Giselle panicked.
Alexander had a condescending squint at Christian, then walked to Florence and held her hand, "You must be hungry. Let's go to eat."
The two left as if nobody was present.
Christian drew a long face and muttered, "It's over, over."
"Dad, what's over?" Giselle helped Christian up, "Just Florence. She made the company suffer heavy losses. Let's sue her to compensate for the loss."
Giselle had already wondered to make trouble for Florence, so Florence's boyfriend would definitely abandon Florence. Then she would have a chance.
"What do you know?" Christian suddenly yelled, "You prodigal daughter, the Sawyer family will be ruined because of you."
These words made Giselle feel puzzled, and Emmett plucked up himself to ask, "Mr. Sawyer, does Florence's boyfriend have a strong background?"
If Emmett didn't ask, it was okay. But with this question, he directly made himself a target.
Christian looked at Emmett and became angrier, "Throw this person out."
"Mr.Sawyer." Emmett panicked after he saw security guards arriving. So he quickly interceded, "Giselle, quickly say a few words to your dad. Giselle, Mr. Sawyer..."
