By that time, Vania had seemingly turned into an emotionless feeding machine that was programmed to feed Hanson one bite after another. She couldn't help but complain in her heart when she saw how much he enjoyed it and that he was always looking for a reason to make her take care of him. After a while, even after Hanson had finished his lunch, he was still reluctant to release her from his hold.
Vania, who had had enough of his clinginess, immediately got up from his lap. That instant, she felt cool as she was finally relieved from the excess heat coming from him. "I shall leave first since I still have some work to take care of." If she continued to stay there, she believed he might even get her to do his work for him. By that time, she would have turned into an emotionless working machine instead.
"Alright." With great reluctance, he let her leave. He knew she might find him too clingy and get angry at him if he refused to let her go. Before long, he was already fantasizing about the time he would get to spend with her once they got home tonight. By then, they wouldn't be disturbed by his tactless employees, and it would be paradise on earth. With that thought in mind, he sent Vania downstairs, then returned to his office once again.
The moment he entered his office, he noticed Larry carrying an empty lunch tray while standing in front of his desk. "President."
Hanson's attention was on the lunch tray as he recognized that it was the one Raina had brought over earlier. "What is it?" he asked coldly and was curious to know what Larry wanted to tell him.
Larry, who could guess Hanson's thoughts, nodded and replied, "President, we noticed that one of our employees had tossed a lunch tray filled with food into the bin, which was a very wasteful thing to do. It doesn't conform with the state's initiative of reducing food wastage." Hearing that, Hanson nodded as a signal for him to continue.
Noticing that, Larry added, "Because of that, we will have to punish her accordingly so that it acts as a reminder for the other employees to play their parts in reducing food waste." Truth be told, Larry could tell that ever since Raina tried to seduce Hanson, Hanson had already planned to fire her, and this would be a good reason for him to do so.
Hanson was really pleased with Larry's report. "I'll let you be in charge of this matter, then."
"Don't worry, President. I won't let you down." Larry nodded.
With that, he brought the lunch tray and headed to the secretary's office before announcing, "Raina Khan, please bring your lunch tray over to the HR department."
All the other secretaries were puzzled when they saw Larry at their office with a lunch tray in his hand. However, everyone seemed to know what was about to happen when they heard Raina's name being called out.
"Why is Mr. Clark asking her to bring the tray over to the HR department?" The secretaries started whispering among themselves.
"Is she getting sacked?"
"Earlier on, she was sending lunch to the President using that lunch tray. Seems like he is trying to put her down in front of everyone." The secretaries were giggling and making fun of her. Their voices were soft, but they were loud enough to be heard by Raina.
Perplexed, Raina approached Larry and pointed at the tray in his hands. "What is that supposed to mean?"
Without giving her an explanation, he placed the tray on her desk and uttered, "You will get it after you make a trip to the HR department."
