Chapter 1211 Got Fired

Chapter 121 I Got Fired

Beckett shook his head. “No, she’s fled to Musmyland.”

Amaya had covered her tracks perfectly, never showing her face throughout the whole thing.

Everyone involved had been bought off by Amaya, and they all swore up and down they had nothing to do with

Beckett didn’t have the power to take Amaya and Tessa down.

Of course, someone else would handle them.

Grayson wasn’t about to let them off the hook.

Beckett was itching to see Amaya and Tessa pay for what they’d done.

Eloise frowned.

‘Can’t believe she managed to slip away, Eloise thought, annoyed.

Even if she couldn’t get Tessa locked up, Eloise really wanted to slap her silly.

‘Crazy woman, actually drugged them! Only she could pull off something that messed up, Eloise muttered.

Beckett suddenly switched topics. “Felice said you just went to HR. Was something up?”

Eloise bit her lip, realizing Beckett had no clue she’d just been fired.

“Mr. Hayes, I… I was just there to sign a contract,” Eloise replied, her voice a little shaky.

“What contract?” Beckett asked.

“I got fired. It was Cyrus’ order,” Eloise said, her voice barely above a whisper.

“No way!” Beckett shot up from his chair.

‘Cyrus was planning to keep Eloise tied to the company so he could wrangle more projects out of Grayson. There’s no way he’d let her go, Beckett thought, disbelief etched across his face.

Eloise said, “I’m telling the truth. I went to see Cyrus, but he wasn’t at the office today. Corrie, his secretary, told me it was his decision.”

Beckett’s eyes flashed with anger. “Why?”

Eloise let out a bitter laugh. “I wish I knew.”

“You signed it without even knowing why?” Beckett said.

Eloise shrugged. “What was I supposed to do? It’s not like I could win against them. Might as well take the severance and leave quietly.”

Honestly, she was bound to leave sooner or later anyway.

Beckett said, “But you gave me your word.”

Eloise sighed. “Mr. Hayes, I know what’s on your mind. There’s no way things could work out between us. Giavanna’s the right person for you.”

“Working with you has been wonderful. I’ve learned so much. Let’s end things on a good note. Congrats in advance on your engagement to Giavanna.”

Eloise finished speaking, then turned on her heel and left the office.

Barely a moment after Eloise left, Beckett strode out as well, hurrying off the seventeenth floor.

Felice and Bertha were both stunned.

They glanced at Eloise at the same time.

Felice asked, “Is Mr. Hayes okay? He didn’t look right just now.”

Eloise didn’t explain Beckett’s reaction. She simply said, “Felice, Bertha, I’m leaving the company. I won’t be coming to work anymore starting tomorrow. Let’s go over the handover together.”

Felice and Bertha were both stunned into silence.

Bertha exclaimed, “Wait, that’s way too sudden!”

Eloise managed a small smile.

‘Trust me, it caught me off guard too. Had no clue I’d be let go before I even clocked in this morning. Everything just happened out of nowhere, she thought.

Felice asked, “Eloise, was this your own decision? Did you choose to leave?”

Eloise said, “I got fired.”

Felice and Bertha were once again left speechless.

Everyone at Hayes Group knew Eloise and Grayson had a special relationship. Even Cyrus had to keep her on his good side.

Word from the finance department was that Cyrus had made an exception and given Eloise two raises.

‘Why would the company fire her?’ Felice and Bertha thought.

Felice asked hesitantly, “Wait… did you and Mr. Pierce break up or something?”

Eloise laughed, “We were never a thing.”

In her mind, they’d just hooked up. That didn’t mean they were actually together.

Felice and Bertha were completely confused.

“Then why did the company fire you?” Felice asked, still confused.

Eloise said, “Honestly, your guess is as good as mine.”

Felice and Bertha were about to ask something else.

Eloise cut them off. “We don’t have much time. I’ve got a lot to go over with you.”

So they just stayed quiet.

Beckett showed up at Cyrus’s place.

Cyrus was having dinner with his mistress.

Cyrus and Amaya had been living apart for a long time, and Amaya knew full well he had someone else on the side.

Now, they were just a couple in name only, bound together by nothing but mutual interests.

Cyrus’s mistress was about Beckett’s age. When she saw him come in, she made herself scarce and headed upstairs.

Beckett sat down across from Cyrus. “Why did you fire Eloise?”

Cyrus didn’t bother hiding it. “Grayson told me to fire her. What was I supposed to do, say no?”

Beckett had already figured out on his way over that Grayson was behind this.

He asked, “Is this because of Tessa’s stupid stunt?”

Cyrus’s face darkened as he nodded.

Beckett asked, “What else did Grayson demand?”

Cyrus said with a pained look on his face, “He told me to give Eloise 15 million yuan in severance.”

Beckett’s lips twitched.

Cyrus said, “Don’t tell Eloise that Grayson was the one who asked me to fire her. Grayson made it clear he doesn’t want her to know, so keep it to yourself. If you let it slip, he’ll blame you for it.”

Beckett stayed silent.

Cyrus shot him a look. “I know you’ve got a thing for Eloise, but keep your distance. If you mess with Grayson,

you’re toast.”

“Your engagement party with Giavanna is next week. The hotel’s already booked, so make sure you’re prepared. Once it’s done, put your heart into Giavanna and make it work between you two.”

After his long speech, Cyrus grabbed his glass and took a sip of water.

Beckett cut in, “I’m not okay with letting Eloise go.”
