Chapter 7 A Beautiful Doctor
Duncan was stunned. He thought he had heard Bailey wrong.
Duncan thought, I’m fired?
I’m fired without any warning?
Beside him, Vivian was also slightly stunned. In the next second, a faint smile appeared on her lips and disappeared in an instant.
For her, Duncan was just a backup.
In fact, Duncan was kind of capable. He had already made it to the HR director of the largest logistics company in Los Angeles at such a young age with an annual salary of tens of thousands of dollars.
Yet Vivian had very high standards. She became even pickier after seeing Irene being together with Adriel. In her eyes, she was as good as Irene, and she could find someone like Adriel. Maybe she could do better than Irene.
Of course, their standards were based on those men’s economic strength.
“Mr. Lowell… What… What is going on?” Duncan no longer cared about Vivian’s expression. After a brief moment of shock, he hurriedly asked.
Bailey glanced at Duncan indifferently and said, “Our company has been acquired. Our new boss is a young man. The first order he issued is to fire you. There’s nothing I can do.”
Duncan wanted to ask more, but Bailey had already turned around and said, “I have things to do. You know who you have offended.”
After saying that, Bailey turned around and left.
Duncan slumped on the chair beside him.
He thought, yes, I’ve offended someone, but not someone who is capable enough to acquire the company!
I … feel so wronged!
Meanwhile, after the acquisition process was complete, under Keira’s advice, Tyrone chose to stay in the company and continue to preside over the company’s business. However, he was now on Gerald’s paycheck, while Gerald got to be the boss behind the scene.
It was a good thing for Gerald since he was a layman. He was happy to leave the things for the professionals. After everything was settled, Keira got up and said, “OK then, I guess my job here is done. I will leave now.”
Gerald also stood up and said, “I have something to do as well. Let’s leave together!”
So far, Keira had not mentioned her payment.
In fact, Gerald would like to appear in front of Vivian as the boss now, but he had something to do and must leave.
The pretty woman with short hair had been coming to him around noon these days, and now it was almost time.
Keira held up her glasses and revealed a sweet smile. She said, “OK!”
Keira and Gerald walked out of the company. Gerald let out a breath and said, “Ms. Bender, I should thank you for this. And I’m afraid that I will have to trouble you a lot from now on. How much do you think I should pay you?”
Keira smiled, “Forget about that. You are a Diamond Card client of our bank. We will fully cooperate with.” Gerald was stunned. He was surprised that the Diamond Card clients were so prestigious in New Bank.
“Of course, if you do want to thank me, you can do me a favor and accompany me to a dinner party tonight,” Keira smiled sweetly. “Simply put, I want you to pretend to be my boyfriend.”
Gerald was stunned for a moment. Then he nodded and said, “No problem!”
Keira’s eyes lit up slightly. Then she nodded and said, “You can’t go back on your word! I’ll call you in the evening and
pick you up.”
Gerald nodded.
While they were talking, they arrived at the door. After saying goodbye to each other, they each took a taxi and left.
At 11:20 a.m., Gerald arrived at the door of the construction site on time. Sure enough, upon his arrival, he saw the short–haired girl carrying a lunch box and coming out of the construction site, looking disappointed!
When she saw Gerald, her eyes lit up. Then she trotted all the way towards him!
“I thought you were not coming,” she said to Gerald with a smile.
“I went to the bank to check my balance yesterday. You didn’t lie to me.” Gerald breathed out.
“Does that mean you are willing to go back with me?” the short–haired girl asked, her eyes lighting up.
Gerald nodded and said, “Yes!”
