Chapter 16 Murray’s Admirers
Melissa didn’t have time to think much about that and went to the vet with the stray dog in her arms.
Even though Melissa just jumped over to save the puppy, the puppy’s front legs were still hit by the car.
Looking at the time, Melissa knew she was going to be late for work.
Melissa thought about it for a while and called Murray.
“What’s the matter?” Murray said in a deep voice.
“I have something to do. I’ll go to work later,” Melissa said to ask for a leave.
Murray said, “You don’t have to tell me about such a small thing.”
When Murray finished speaking, he hung up the phone impatiently.
Melissa curled her lips. Melissa thought, He is arrogant. He doesn’t even want to say one more word to me. Anyway, I’ve already taken time off.
Melissa had the vet do a careful check on the stray dog. Fortunately, the puppy only had a few superficial wounds but nothing major.
“Can I have this puppy hospitalized for observation?” Melissa was still a little worried and asked.
“Yes,” the vet said with a smile.
Melissa paid 400 dollars and left the dog in the hospital. She planned to find a dog lover to adopt the dog by the time it was cured.
After all this, Melissa hurried to the Gibson Corporation. It was almost eleven o’clock when she arrived at the company.
As soon as Melissa stepped into the door of the Secretary Department, Susie walked up to her in anger and said, “Do you still know you have to work? Do you know what time it is?”
“I have something to attend to,” Melissa said indifferently.
“What are you up to?” Susie sneered and looked at Melissa, saying sarcastically, “Melissa, today is your second day at work and you’re absent from work. Do you think you are the female boss of this company?”
Faced with Susie’s accusation, Melissa’s expression remained the same. Melissa said, “First, I am late, but I am not absent. Second, I’ve taken time off, so I’m not late.”
“How dare you defend that? When did you ever ask me for leave?” Susie pointed at Melissa with an angrier and fiercer look in her eyes, saying, “Melissa, you are fired because of your unexcused absence from work.”
Feeling the strong hostility of Susie, Melissa lightly pushed away Susie’s hand that was pointing at her. With a mocking smile on her face, Melissa said, “I asked Mr. Gibson for a leave. Ms. Hodgson, do you fire me in the name of absenteeism because you think Mr. Gibson has no right to approve my leave of absence?”
After being retorted by Melissa in public, Susie felt embarrassed. Susie pulled Melissa to walk to the office of the president. Susie said, “You are talking nonsense! Let’s go to Mr. Gibson and make it clear in person!”
“OK,” Melissa said.
Melissa also wanted to settle the score for Susie’s trick on her last night.
