Lifelong Companion novel Chapter 23

It was before five o'clock in the morning that Aaron arrived at ODG. The air was a little damp in the first gleam of light.

Glancing at the sparse crowd, Aaron parked his car numbly, and then walked into the company quickly.

At that time, there were only those on night duty. All of them were listless. When they saw Aaron, everyone's movements and expressions were stiff in an instant.

The director of logistics department stood up as soon as he saw Aaron. With a flattering smile on his face, he came forward and asked, "Mr. Aaron? Why did you come here so early today? Ha ha... "

Aaron thought of what Melissa just said, and his face became paler.

With a snort of contempt, he strode forward and said, "it looks like I've really raised a group of craps."

Everyone lowered their heads subconsciously and dared not to look at him. They were afraid that they would get into trouble next.

It was not until long after Aaron had left that the environment eased up a little.

"What's wrong with Mr. Aaron today? I haven't heard that Mr. Aaron would be here so fast today."

"God knows! Speak less and do more otherwise we may be fired!"

"Yes, yes! What the director said is true..."

Many of them looked at each other in dismay and then they pretended to be serious and busy.

However, when Aaron went back to his office, he found that the light in the secretary room next door was still on.

Out of curiosity, Aaron quietly walked in and saw Lois who had dark circles under her eyes writing something. She looked very serious.

Lois pretended to be surprised, and quickly hid the documents in her hands behind her back. Then she said in broken words, "What? Mr. Aaron, when did you come! Sorry... I didn't know you would come so early today, so I'm not ready yet... "

Turning around casually, Aaron looked at Lois up and down carefully, and then said slowly, "Nothing, it just comes to my mind that sometimes I don't get up so early. I wet the documents yesterday by accident. Write a new one for me. I need it now."

When Lois heard what he said, her face turned pale immediately. Then she said, "Mr. Aaron, is my design not so reasonable? I will immediately use the computer to print one for you..."

When she was speaking, Aaron inadvertently walked around behind her and took the paper out quickly. He glanced briefly and got what she was thinking about.

"You want to resign? Tell me the reason. "

Eyes focused, Aaron looked at Lois up and down with his sharp eyes, trying to see through her.

The corners of her mouth were slightly raised. Then Lois quickly covered her true feelings and said deliberately, "Yes... This job is really very difficult for me, so... "

However, instead of stopping her, Aaron said directly, "It doesn't matter. I've agreed. Later, you go to the personnel department to put on records and then you can resign. I've found a more suitable person than you."

What he said was like a thunderbolt from a blue sky, which made Lois freeze in place.

Did she hear it right?

Judging from the expression on Aaron's face yesterday, the plan wrote by Melissa should be good. It seemed that he liked it, then... did he already know that the plan was not designed by her?

Her hair instantly stood on end. Her legs were soft, and it was not until then that Lois knelt down quickly and caught Aaron by the hem of his trousers, begging for mercy, "Mr. Aaron... Sorry... I wanted to explain it to you yesterday, but you left in a hurry, so I didn't have a chance to explain it. Although this plan was written by your friend, I can also write it. Please give me another chance, please!"
