Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1072

They used "you" instead of "sir".

Called him "Mr. Hawkins" instead of "boss".

It was a minor thing, but it spoke volumes.

Even the junior assistant dared to address him like this, showing what his current standing in the company was!

It was Alden they had roughed up, for he had stopped them from moving Clayton's stuff.

Clayton was livid,

"How dare you touch my things without my permission? Have you forgotten that I'm still your boss?!"

The two assistants froze, unsure of how to respond, and simply ignored him.

They carried the boxes towards the restroom.

The storage was right next to it.

Clayton's face darkened,

"Alden, notify HR, fire them both! If HR gives you any lip, fire them too!"

The assistants gasped, panic-stricken, standing there holding the boxes uneasily.

Suddenly, they saw a man walking out of the CEO's office, and they hurried to complain,

"Philip, we upset Mr. Hawkins by moving stuff, and he's going to fire us."

Philip was the company's second-in-command.

Philip, unfazed and smiling, said,

"Well, Mr. Hawkins is still the top dog for now. He can fire whoever he wants; I can't do anything about it."

The assistants’ eyes widened, but Philip added,

"But don't worry, he won't be for long. I'll rehire you later with double the salary."

The assistants were overjoyed, "Thanks, Philip."

After speaking, they glared at Clayton and Alden beside him, carrying the boxes next to the restroom.
