See the Person I Love the Most Again
Chapter 3
Just as I looked up, I saw Megan standing at the door, glaring at Leonardo.
When she saw me, Megan's face briefly showed an indiscernible expression.
Upon spotting Megan, Leonardo was very enthusiastic.
Approaching her, he embraced her and introduced her to Luke, saying, "Mr. Evans, this is my girlfriend."
"Well, what a handsome couple you are..."
I couldn't hear his flattering words anymore.
The moment I saw Megan walk in with him, my mind crashed.
I didn't even know when they left, but when Luke returned, he started yelling at me.
I snapped back to reality and said, "What? Don't want to compensate?"
"You almost ruined my acquisition deal! Why are you still here? Waiting to get beaten?" Luke exclaimed.
Just as Luke finished speaking, the manager stepped forward and told him that he couldn't dismiss me, or else there would be no one left to do my job.
This only further enraged Luke, who shouted, "I told you to fire him ages ago! You say no one can do his job. I've already found designers! I've even found two, each for a monthly salary of ten thousand dollars. It's better than keeping this guy around!"
The manager, too afraid to speak up, stared at me and asked, "So, Mr. Evans, what about this salary?"
I couldn't help but want to laugh, thinking, "Serves him right, he brought this upon himself!"
"Salary? My foot!" Luke's eyes were almost popping out of his head as he yelled, "If you have the guts, go ahead and sue. I have all the time to drag this out with you!"
I hesitated for a moment, then flashed him a bright smile.
I marched straight into the common office area and shouted, "Mr. Evans is selling the company and wants to fire me but won't pay my salary or provide compensation. He's telling me to sue!
"Listen up, everyone! Is this a human behavior? Think about it, if you ever want to resign in the future, how will he treat you? And, the Brody Group isn't acquiring this company to continue operations..."
One of the main reasons Leonardo wanted to acquire this company was to get back at me.
As for the mess left behind after I left, would Leonardo even care?
Luke was about to grab me by the collar, but I immediately taunted, "Go ahead, hit me. It won't be as simple as just paying my salary!"
However, his phone suddenly rang. When he saw the caller ID, he let go of my hand.
Luke, who had been grumbling just moments ago, suddenly answered the phone with the utmost respect.
I knew that number very well, so well that I could recite it backwards.
After hanging up, Luke wore a bright smile.
Pointing at my nose, he shouted, "Get out now! Mr. Brody's girlfriend has spoken. She can hire a top lawyer just to drag this out with you!"
At that moment, my earlier arrogance turned into sheer absurdity.
I walked out of the company in a dejected manner. As I looked up, I saw Leonardo's car.
"Here comes the loser, don't you want to take a look?" Leonardo's mocking voice came.
As I looked over, I saw Megan sitting in the passenger seat, not even bothering to lift her head.
"Pointless, let's go. To the mall," Megan said to Leonardo.
The roaring car kicked up dust that made me cough.
Thinking back to their demeanor in the living room, I suddenly felt unworthy.
I looked up at the towering building where I had once strived. Now, I found myself in this predicament because of a woman of easy virtue.
Filled with resentment, I thought to myself, "Who give her the right to kick me out with just a whim of dislike?"
