See the Person I Love the Most Again

Due to a slight hangover, I woke up a bit late in the morning.

When I rushed to the office, I was stopped by the manager.

"What's going on! Late even dressed like this!"

As I was about to apologize, I saw Leonardo.

Our CEO, Luke Evans, was smiling as he escorted Leonardo out.

"Well, Humphrey, you work here?" Leonardo greeted me as if we were old friends.

Before I could respond, Luke jumped in. "Mr. Brody, do you know each other? He's quite capable here, and..."

Leonardo's smile faded as he looked at Luke and said, "The Brody Group valued appearances. Don't you see his sloppy appearance? Are you trying to tell me I've made a wrong decision by investing in your company?"

Luke's face, which had been smiling like a flower, turned sour as if he had been crying.

The manager was quick to chime in. "Mr. Brody, you don't know, this guy is always deceitful, pretending to be diligent in front of Mr. Evans."

After the manager's words, Luke also caught on.

He pointed at me and said, "In that case, you're fired."

As soon as those words were spoken, Leonardo continued to smile and extended his hand to Luke, saying, "Wishing us a pleasant cooperation."

Seeing Luke's sycophantic behavior, I was seething with anger.

Anyway, I couldn't keep this job. With a headache from last night's hangover, I didn't want to endure this anymore.

"Mr. Evans, did you just say you're firing me?"

Luke impatiently looked at me and said, "Yes, you're fired, now get out!"

"Shouldn't we discuss compensation for unjust dismissal first?"

Luke sneered and then pointed to the manager, saying, "Don't think I don't know the law. Just an extra month's salary. That's it."

"Double compensation for unfair dismissal."

Luke retorted, "Double it is. Get the finance department, give him ten thousand dollars, if that's too much, consider the surplus is charity."

Immediately, Luke planned to escort Leonardo out.

I continued to shout, "Ten thousand dollars? Are you dismissing a beggar? My minimum monthly salary is at least 100 thousand. Double compensation means 200 thousand!"

Luke was shocked to hear this and looked at the manager.

The manager nodded, then immediately turned his head away, pretending not to see.

The company's poor performance was indeed related to Luke!

The manager not only managed the sales department, but also had control over our design department.

So, even though I held the title of Design Director, I still had to follow his orders.

This led to my salary being in an awkward position. It was not too high but not too low.

It was my complacent nature that kept me from changing jobs.

Luke was stingy, selfish, and didn't care about the company's affairs. He always found faults to deduct money when it came to paying salaries.

"Are you... are you that Humphrey?"

Luke called out my name, scrutinizing me carefully for a long time.

"Are you having second thoughts?" Leonardo asked, looking at Luke.

Luke suddenly burst into laughter.

I thought he had gone mad.

Luke laughed for a while and said to Leonardo, "Mr. Brody, rest assured, I've been wanting to dismiss this guy. Being a dog in the manger, he demands such a high salary. Don't you have somewhere else to be? You should go attend to your matters."

Leonardo waved his hand dismissively and started to leave.

"Leonardo, are you leaving or not!"

That voice was Megan!
