Litzy finally appeared in the arena.
While slowly shuttling through the crowd, she wiped her fingers with a tissue and waved hello to the colleagues who had a good relationship with her.
The moment Anna saw Litzy, she walked towards her angrily.
Litzy hadn't noticed Anna's action, one hand covering her mouth, and quietly whispered to the colleague next to her. "Let me tell you that I have also participated in the design of today's background wall... H
"Litzy, what are you doing here? The performance is going to start in five minutes, and the PPT of the final version is still in your hand without being uploaded!"
However, Litzy was in no rush but said with a smile. "Ms Hamilton, please don't worry. I'm right here, aren't I? But why do you say I have the PPT of the final version? I didn't take it. I didn't participate in its production..."
"Slap!"
Immediately the sound of a slap resounded in the whole hall behind the stage.
The surrounding people all could not help getting a gasp.
For a moment, the tense but little noisy hall suddenly fell silent.
Litzy couldn't believe that and covered her cheek with a hand, tears immediately uncontrollably flowing out. "Ms Hamilton, why do you slap me?"
"Zoe Brown, go and install the PPT." Anna calmly withdrew her palm in little pain, staring at the woman in front of her with burning eyes, and commanded with cold voice.
Litzy tried to play tricks right in front of her, but Anna had plenty of ways to deal with i t.
Zoe hurriedly grabbed the USB from Litzy with an extremely angry stare, and then quickly turned to run away.
Anna stood still and gave a cold smile. She said in a n aggressive tone. "If you don't want to stay in Lincoln Group, you should leave as soon as possible."
Just when she went to look for Litzy, a staff beside her grumbled with discontent.
She said that there was a woman called Litzy who had been in the bathroom for half an hour on the phone, reluctant to go back for work.
Oh, this Litzy destroyed Ricky's work last time, and she embarrassed Zoe now.
In the final analysis, she was making trouble to
Lincoln Group deliberately.
What was the point of retaining such a solitary and manipulative staff?
What a pity that she had forgiven Litzy last time!
What a disappointment.
Litzy kept still with a stunned look, her hand covering her inflamed face, and could not help crying out. "Of course I want to do well in our company, but can't I beg for fairness?"
That was indeed a pathetic statement.
Anna's face was frosty, and her eyes were like swords. "What's unfair?"
"You prefer Ricky Seale. It was I who should have managed the last design, but you rearrange it to Ricky instead." Litzy cried miserably.
Anna clenched her hands, with her delicate eyebrows and eyes tightly wrinkled. "Nothing but capability talks in a job."
"But it is sure that he is your preference! There are s o many important tasks taken charged by him! That is unfair!" Litzy hissed.
Just when Ethan walked towards them, Litzy continued to shout. "Ms. Hamilton, you take Ricky so seriously in daily work that others who don't know the reason may think you take a special care of him o n purpose!"
These words attracted all people to turn to Anna.
Anna suddenly became furious.
Her piercing eyes were full of resentment, and her voice was as sharp as a knife's edge. "Don't you dare repeat it again?"
Ricky immediately stepped forward and grabbed Litzy's arm. He couldn't stand it any more. He shouted at her. "Listen to me, Litzy, Ms. Hamilton has no preference to anyone. At first, it was Ms. Hamilton who prevented me from exposing you for deleting my designs without permission."
Ethan had already stridden over from nearby, his handsome face full of darkness. He asked, "what's wrong?"
Litzy suddenly acted like a madwoman and urgently cried out. "Mr.Collins, Ms. Hamilton always gives particular preference to this male staff in our department."
"I think you are so terrible." The chest cavity of Anna was filled with anger, and the flame of anger made her eyes mercilessly round with a slight flush. Litzy pretended to be too scared to hide behind Ethan.
"Mr. Collins, I think Ms Hamilton is interested in Ricky!"
But she was smiling at Ethan. "You are really sweet."
It was only a pause for a second.
Ethan had a smile in his eyes, with a bright laughter. His laughter was as warm as the babbling water of a clean spring into the heart.
"As long as you like it."
People around them all gave an immediate praise after watching that.
"As you see, Mr. Collins and Ms. Hamilton are on good terms. How could she have anything to do with Ricky?"
Ricky also nodded constantly, scratching his head with some embarrassment. "You are right. I have already fallen in love with a girl, and Ms. Hamilton encourages me to pursue her, but I am too busy with work recently to spare time for that!"
"Litzy, you can't wrongly accuse Ms. Hamilton like this."
"All right, let's get back to work, everybody! Anna looked at her wrist watch, worrying about the performance, and gave Litzy a ferocious gaze.
"You should leave! Remember to go over the dismissal procedure in the company."
Litzy was reluctant. She probably desired to say something, but was forced to keep quiet by Ethan's cold gaze. Then she dejectedly left.
Anna turned around and went back to the lounge room behind the stage.
She felt a little hungry now, so this takeout was just i n time.
She unpacked the meal box, and it turned out to be a nutritious vegetarian diet. She was much more sure that this takeaway was ordered by Liam.
She met Liam once outside Gemma's dance classroom. He thought she was thinner than before, and she explained that she was just going on a diet.
That was why he sent over this nutritious vegetarian diet.
Though she had a heavier mind, she ate it all because of hunger.
