Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 218

I stood there, frozen for a long while before it finally hit me. I was getting fired.

“Did I do something wrong? Please tell me what it is, and I promise I’ll improve in the future,” I begged. I really needed this job.

The manager frowned at me, sighing regretfully. “Vonnie, there are some things that are simply out of my control. This was a direct order from Mr. Whitrow. Even if I wanted to keep you, I can’t. I’m really sorry; three months of pay is the most I can offer you right now.”

Is it because of Yvette? I closed my eyes, taking a deep breath to recompose myself. She was the young lady of the Tanner family. It made sense that there wasn’t a single boss or CEO who would dare go against her words, and she had already publicly criticized my morals in front of my boss.

“Thank you for taking such care of me all this time. I won’t trouble you any longer.”

I left my workplace, my bag heavier with the ten thousand more that I’d come into work with. I could never figure out why my manager was always so kind to me, but I knew it would be fruitless to expect him to fix my problems for me.

Mave, not knowing that I would never come back here, waved at me as we parted ways at the building entrance and even reminded me to disregard what everyone else was saying. I merely brushed her off with a smile.

“According to our latest reports, Mr. Christopher Lane of Avenport and Ms. Martin will be getting engaged soon! The wealth of the powerful Lane family can be traced back to three generations, while Ms. Martin, a famous pianist, is from the scholarly Martin family! Yesterday at Ms. Martin’s piano concert, Mr. Lane went up to give her a bouquet of roses as the audience erupted into cheers…”

A loud voice from somewhere startled me awake from my depressed daze. I raised my head and looked towards a large LED screen in the middle of the plaza. It was playing a video where Monica wore a gorgeous gown, standing in front of her piano as Christopher handed her a bouquet of roses, a warm smile on his face.

The two of them looked like a picture-perfect couple together.

So Christopher went to watch Monica’s concert yesterday? I wonder if he thought of me at all.

I stared dumbfounded at the dazzling man on the screen.
