Soon, they turned to look at Leo, with their eyes overwhelmed with shock.
Just a moment ago, they seemed to forget that he was addressed as Mr. Cohen.
While Ruben just said the one in charge of the branch of Atlas in Hopkins was also called Mr. Cohen.
Now the answer was obvious.
At the thought of that, they felt like being shocked by greater horror.
Not until now did they realize that they had just affronted someone they could never afford to offend.
Both Caleb and Alan were those with incredible power and influence, whom they could never afford to mess up with. However, the two men were both bowing to Leo.
Leo then handed the file over to Irene, “Just pass the file like that to Miss Garcia to decide. Now she is the only one in charge of the branch here.”
What he said proved the status of Irene. Hearing that, both Ruben and Jemima looked stunned with regret. Meanwhile, Alan seemed to pay more respect while looking at her.
He knew something about Atlas, but the most news of which was about Lydia. So he had never heard about the name of Irene.
Now she did impress him in some way.
But Irene didn’t seem to notice the changes happening to them. She totally focused on the file.
After reading the file for a few seconds, she proposed a few professional suggestions, some of which had even gone beyond what Alan could expect.
He seemed quite amazed while looking at her again.
“There is nothing to be improved in general. But a few strategic suggestions should be needed…” but Irene didn’t finish. Instead, she turned to look at Ruben and Jemima.
Alan soon noticed that what she was about to continue must be involved with something confidential. So he hurried to make a call.
“Tell the HR Department to initiate the discharge procedure of Ruben and Jemima. Now they are fired!”
As soon as he finished, the poor couple both kneeled down in front of him, begging in panic, “Mr. Watts. Please! Please leave us a chance! We are so sorry!”
“Mr. Watts, please, please don’t get us fired! It’s all on us!”
“Fuck off!” Alan shouted with his fingers pointing at them, “I know what you’ve done in the company!”
“Jemima, one of the collateral of the Watts, pulled strings to get yourself a job in J Group. Meanwhile, you also got your husband a job in the same way so as to fulfill your selfishness.. Am I right about that?”
Wearing a pale face, the couple were then driven out. Meanwhile, a series of gossips started to surge up among the rest of the restaurant.
What happened just now had gone beyond everyone’s expectation.
Annoyance started to mount on Jemima’s soberness. The longer she fixed her eyes on Ruben, the stronger her hatred was growing.
Suddenly, she slapped on his face.
“You fucking bastard! What’s wrong with you? Why did you mess up with Irene? Now you see, huh? It’s over! Our jobs are over! Our lives are fucked up!”
Ruben looked a bit pissed because of the slap, “I don’t even know that guy is so influential! Can you freaking believe that even Irene is the VP of Atlas!”
Jemima continued with a pale face, “We’d better think about a convincing explanation to tell grandpa…”
“But I am just a grandniece of his. I was trying to get a job in the J Group and do something to make myself a bit more trustworthy in the family. But now I am literally fired so soon! What can I do?”
Hearing that, Ruben turned to be horrified once again. Even going home seemed so challenging for both of them at this moment. How ridiculous!
