The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 82

Autumn said angrily, "If I was not Mrs. Lu and didn't know Sam, then I wouldn't have been able to escape from Mr. Song that night, right?"

"Well......" Linda kept silent. "Of course, I would not let you go if you were not Mrs. Lu." Linda thought.

"Why are you silent? Don't you have your answer?" Autumn went on with a sneer, "I have nothing to talk with you, you vicious woman. I have a lot of work to do. Please move aside."

With a pile of documents in hand, Autumn stood up and walked out. She stepped inside Charles's office and knocked the door.

"Come in." Charles's voice came from inside. Picking up the signed papers, David turned to Charles and said, "Mr. Lu, I'll be right outside."

"Okay. Go ahead." Charles put the pen cap back and asked Autumn standing in front of him, "What brings you here?"

"I have something to talk to you about." Sensing her seriousness, Charles nodded. He made her sit down beside him and asked, "What's wrong?"

Autumn hesitated for a second and then continued, "Charles, you asked me to work here because you want me to help you. But after working here the whole day, I can't do anything else for you. So after giving it a lot of thought, I have decided to resign. And I hope that you can agree with me."

"Resign? But why?" Charles was shocked by her words. He thought that she came here to talk about Linda and he was even prepared to comfort her. "Can you tell me your reason? Are you not satisfied with your salary?"

"No. I have said this earlier also that I am not fit to work here." Her work was simple, but things were more complicated than she expected. It was not easy to be his secretary at all.

Take Linda for example. Though she was not of good moral standing, she was a capable secretary. She was good at closing contracts and she also knew how to cope with business engagements.

But things were different for Autumn. What were her capabilities?

"Charles, I know you asked me to work here for my own good, but I have taken careful consideration. It is not a good idea for me to work here. I am not used to this job. And I am sure you also know that I can't handle it. So after much consideration, I have decided to resign." Autumn smiled and added, "Do you remember? That one time when I told you that I wanted to take a break? Well, I have selected a good place for myself. It's Z City. I will find a job when I come back. As for Linda......"

Autumn hesitated for a while at the thought of Linda. Though she really hated her annoying conduct, Autumn had to admit that she was competent at work. Autumn knew that Charles would be busy with his work after her resignation, so she wanted to persuade Charles not to fire Linda.

"Even though Linda went too far that day, fortunately she didn't go further to make serious mistakes. And I am sure that David would be busy after my resignation, so you'd better not to fire Linda. She is a capable woman and she can help you with your work. Or you can think about firing her after you find the right person to replace her. What do you think?" Autumn asked for Charles's opinion.

Charles was stunned by her words. 'Why doesn't she care how others treated her?

Like Nancy and Linda.' Charles thought and felt surprised.

"Ye, don't you feel angry about her behavior?" Charles asked her.

"Of course I am angry." Autumn nodded and then explained, "But I have taken everything into careful consideration. You will be very busy with your work. And since David is the only one who can help with your work, don't fire Linda immediately. But you have to be very careful about her, because I am afraid that......"

"Ye, you are really very considerate." Charles embraced her while talking. In fact, bearing the same misgivings as Autumn, he was not going to fire Linda immediately. And he thought that perhaps Autumn would not accept this news. But he never expected that Autumn persuade him not to fire Linda. He was really touched by her.
