Serenity and Zachary York novel Chapter 616

Chapter 616

Duncan spoke up. “I know I made things hard for you in the company because I personally hired you, but you don’t have to worry about what others say. Just do your own thing.”

“Mr. Lewis, I want to resign.”

Duncan’s eyes deepened as he asked, “Why do you want to resign?”

Liberty was silent, then she raised her head to look at Duncan and said, “Back then, I was told that I came in through the back door, and I was secretly targeted by everyone. However, I put up with it in order to get a divorce and win custody of my son.

“It was because I needed a job to fight for Sonny’s custody.”

“So now that you’re divorced and you’ve won the custody of your son, you want to resign?” Duncan picked up from where she left off. “You haven’t even completed your probation period.”

He added, “You’re a capable person, and you’re good at your job. I believe that you know this too, but whatever they say about you, you don’t have to listen to them as long as you have a clear conscience.”

“They’re also saying that I covet you, Mr. Lewis. I don’t want to harm your reputation.”

Where there were people, there would be trouble.

Liberty knew that.

She used to be a CFO herself, and she was hired to work in Lewis & Co. by Duncan himself. Everyone claimed that she came in through the back door. Her superiors were on guard against her, afraid that she would rob them of their position.

That was why everyone in the office was secretly targeting her, rejecting her, and always in cohorts to land her in trouble.

Furthermore, Duncan was a single noble. If he paid too much attention to a woman, that woman will become the thorn in the side of many people.

Liberty did not want to fight with them, so she wanted to resign and go with her plan to start her own business.

Duncan paused before saying, “Who said that?

“Liberty, you just do your job. I’ll deal with them. If anyone spreads rumors behind your back about you trying to covet me, I’ll fire them all. Don’t think I’ll let them go just because they have numbers on their side. If they irritate me, I can fire all of them!”

He gave Liberty this job because of Zachary anyway, so technically, it was not completely false to say that Liberty entered through the back door.

However, it was outrageous to say that Liberty was coveting him. She had just divorced. How could she covet him?
