Laid Off: The Sales Champion's Revenge

In the end, I ended up signing the severance letter.

What Jonathan said was indeed my weak point. After all, I came from a poor family. Recently, I spent many years of my savings to pay my house’s down payment. Hence, I had no extra money with me anymore.

I remembered when Jonathan found out that I was paying my mortgage as he comforted me by saying, “As long as you really work hard for our company, I’m sure that it wouldn’t even take three to five years to pay off your mortgage.”

At the time, I thought that he was being caring about his subordinates. However, I would never expect that it turned out that he wanted to use this as my weak point to force me to agree to be laid off. That man was surely slick as hell by using my weakness to make me agree with him.

Eventually, I came back to my cubicle in frustration as I had to prepare to pack my things up. To my shock, I saw that my things were already stuffed carelessly in cardboard boxes and put aside without care. Then, I could see that there was a man who seemed to be in his mid-twenties who sat on my chair. Not only that, this asshole was eating my snacks!

I hadn’t even gone through the whole process of being laid off, but why people were so rude to me?

It made me so mad that I immediately grabbed the snacks from the man’s hand as I angrily asked, “Who are you, Sir? Why do you think you can treat my things away like this?”

But the man just scanned me with his eyes as he smirked evilly before he asked me back, “Are you Miss Helena Hawking? The Top Saleswoman?”

“Well, you look pretty. But you’re already wrinkling, don’t you think? Women as old as you should just stay at home to please their husbands and raise children. So, why would you still work at the office?” he continuously asked me in a mocking tone.

After that, he loudly mocked me more, “My cousin, Jonathan, is right. Sales are just about talking. You women are nothing but being pretty because you still need us men to get the sales!”

When I looked at the nametag he wore ‘Alan Warren’ before I continued to look at his face which was also pretty similar to Jonathan’s, the realization hit me all of a sudden. This man might be another of Jonathan’s relatives.

“And,” he then said.

In an arrogant tone, he continued, “I wasn’t the one who touched your things. In fact, your things were all stuffed by your coworkers that sat next to your desk.”

“I just told them that I was Jonathan’s cousin and I would join Neoform to replace you, then they quickly rushed over to stuff your things and put them on the floor,” he said, ending what he said.

When I heard it, I couldn’t help but look at my own coworkers who were helping to stuff my things away. These were all young men whom I had brought with me since I joined this company. They always followed me and greeted me with respect. In fact, the youngest one had been following me for around three years.

Yet, they were all lowering their heads in silence.

This was bone-chilling.

Except Violet Brown, who had just been promoted to be the Neoform’s full-time employee.

The young woman stood up and spoke for me as she tried to defend me by saying, “You guys have been helped by Helena here, but you dare to betray her like this?”

She angrily shouted, “If Helena leaves, I’ll leave too!”

Just when I was about to stop her, Violet took out her own resignation letter as she said, “Helena, you don’t have to say anything. I already made up my mind to resign from this place.”

As she was helping me pack my things carefully, she whispered to my ears, “Helena, I’ll go wherever you go. I’ll never ever forget your kindness in helping me here. Pay no mind to Alan Warren’s bullshits. Remember, I’m here. Helena. You’ll always be the best!”

What she said truly brought tears to my eyes. Frankly, Violet had only been in this company for half a year. Not to mention, I wasn’t actually very close with her. I could remember what she said about my kindness in helping her was actually a small thing that I helped her, which was actually no big deal for me as I was already experienced.

However, her sincere expression was far better in friendship than the others who spent three to five years of working with me only to betray me.

People’s hearts were indeed unpredictable.
