Chapter 344
When Cedrick appeared, every employee in the office stopped what they were doing and held their
breaths as they looked over gingerly.
Cedrick remained outside and did not step into the office. “I don’t think I’ve heard enough. Why don’t you
keep the drama going?”
Everyone held their breaths as chills ran down their spines.
Sensing that something was wrong, Jennifer hurried toward Cedrick in hopes to explain herself. “Master
Cedrick, it’s not what you think! There’s some issue with my subordinate’s work, and I just wanted to
educate her about it. Mister Graham here might have seen it differently, and that’s why we had a little
argument. We’re usually very close friends!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGeorge froze, intimidated by Cedrick’s sudden appearance. Meanwhile, Catelyn frantically pulled her
hand away from George’s.
“Master Cedrick, it’s my fault for interrupting the others’ work.” After a brief silence, George bowed and
apologized to Cedrick sincerely.
However, Cedrick had not spared him a single glance and, instead, turned to look at Winnie. Winnie was
about a year or two older than Catelyn and appeared dominating with her long hair tied up, sporting the
professional outfit and heels she was wearing. Without a doubt, she was a standard beauty who had a
small face and pouty lips with just a touch of valiance.
“Winnie.”
“Yes, Mister Mason?” Winnie would address Cedrick as ‘Mister Mason’ whenever they were in the office
as that would be inore appropriate and would effectively avoid being the subjects of gossiping as well.
Cedrick parted his lips and, without a moment of hesitation, ordered, “Jennifer Monroe has disrupted the
order in the office by bringing her personal emotions into work and framing another employee. Give her a
six-month worth of salary and fire her.”
Winnie’s eyes widened with shock. She knew that Cedrick would be upset, but she had not imagined that
he would fire Jennifer right away!
“Noted, I’ll notify the human resource department,” answered Winnie immediately.
Chills ran down Jennifer’s spine as coldness took over her entire body. “I’m sorry, Master Cedrick! I won’t
do this ever again! Please give me another chance…” she pleaded with quivering lips.
He ignored her and glanced at Catelyn before leaving.
All strength was drained from Jennifer as she turned to Winnie for help. She tugged at the hem of
Winnie’s clothes weakly and begged, “Director, I’ve been working for you for years, and I’ve done so
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmuch for you! Please help me talk to Master Cedrick. I have a mother who’s sick in bed, and I can’t
afford to lose this job!”
Winnie narrowed her eyes and helped Jennifer up. “Have you done anything ‘for’ me?”
Her hands were ice-cold, and Jennifer shivered to the touch.
“Miss Monroe, I’ll write you a recommendation letter to one of the best architectural firms in the country.
I’ll also inform the human resource department to compensate you with a whole year’s worth of your
salary. You should know that once Mister Mason makes up his mind, no one can change it.”
Losing all strength once again, Jennifer collapsed onto the ground. Winnie did not make an effort to help
her up again and turned to study Catelyn intently instead. “Catelyn Clark, right?”
One glance was all it took for Catelyn to be overwhelmed by the illusion that she had been targeted by a
predator. She felt wary, but as Winnie was Cedrick’s cousin and the design director of the firm, Catelyn
responded with a respectful smile. “Hello, Director.” “I heard that you were stuck in the office with Mister
Mason last night. Are you okay now?”
