Chapter 55
Alessandra rested for a day before returning to the
company to work.
She was feeling down in the dumps because she was
worried about the compensation amount. In fact, she
did not sleep well the last two nights.
Even though Emmanuel had told her not to worry and
promised he would find a solution, she could not help
but worry.
She feared Derek might confront her that day and
make a police report because she could not afford to
pay. If that were to happen, she might lose her job,
which would make things worse.
Regardless, Alessandra was not someone who would
evade problems, and the matter had to be resolved
eventually. Worst case scenario, she would kneel
before Derek in hopes the latter would forgive her.
“Ma’am!”
Sure enough, Derek went looking for her shortly after
she clocked in.
Alessandra straightened herself and greeted him
politely, “M–Mr. Schwartz!”
“I want to talk to you about the laptop and the phone
Before Derek could finish, Alessandra teared up, and
she got to her knees.
“Ma’am, what are you doing? You can’t do this!” Derek
quickly helped her up.
That scene was witnessed by everyone in the
company.
Even Beatrix, who pa*sed by, watched it from afar.
Naturally, she did not know Mackenzie had helped
settle the issue. If necessary, I’ll help Emmanuel’s mom
to pay.
Although Mackenzie did not agree with the marriage,
the cleaner was still her mother–in–law. Beatrix could
not let the latter be in such a tough situation.
“Mr. Schwartz, my family really can’t afford to come up
with twenty thousand. Please have mercy on me. I
really didn’t do it on purpose!” Alessandra pleaded
with tears streaming down her face.
With so many people watching the commotion, Derek
was grateful that the news about him extorting twenty
thousand from Alessandra had not spread. Otherwise,
“R–Really? I don’t need to compensate you anymore?”
