A Beautiful Misunderstanding

Zac said in a low voice, "You are not suitable for the CEO's office."

His words poured cold water over her. Cherry shivered and thought, 'Did he mean to have me transferred from the CEO's office?'

"I've just arrived, so I'm afraid I am not aware of what happened. If I did something wrong, then I'll do my best to rectify it. Please don't transfer me to another department."

Cold as ice, Zac turned his eyes back to his computer screen like he didn't hear anything that she said. Amy knew exactly what that meant and immediately pulled Cherry out of the office.

"Your internship is over. Starting tomorrow, you don't have to come to the office," Amy said in a cold voice.

Cherry's face turned pale. She said, "Are you firing me? I thought the boss just wanted to have me transferred to another office."

"Only regular employees can be reshuffled to other offices. You are an intern who haven't signed a formal internship contract. Once you make a mistake, it is our prerogative to ask you to leave," Amy said sternly.

"Was it wrong for me to send a document?" Cherry asked defensively.

"Although you are an intern, you received the employee code of conduct two days ago. You were expected to have studied the document and kept its contents in mind. It is clearly stated there that only the top executives are qualified to enter the CEO's office, unless the CEO has summoned others in. Non-executive rank employees can only send work reports or express their thoughts and opinions by email. Another thing: there is one absolute taboo in the CEO's office: never approach the CEO with any ulterior motive. In other words, if you dare express improper desire toward the CEO, you will be fired." With that parting shot, Amy turned her back to the other woman and returned to her desk.

Upset, Cherry called Mary as soon as she got out of the Emperor headquarters.

The news that she was fired surprised Mary. She immediately rushed over to meet up with Cherry.

"What's wrong with you? How could you irritate Zac the moment you came in?" she admonished the younger woman, disappointment written plainly on her face. She deliberately arranged for Cherry to be assigned to the office of Emperor's CEO. Her assignment was to get close to Zac and seduce him away from Essie.

If Valery couldn't win his heart, then she had to find someone else. Essie dared to be so presumptuous because her son was fascinated by her. That vile woman could only be displaced if Zac would fall in love with another woman and transfer his feelings for her.

"I was too eager for him to notice me that I ended up accidentally violating the company policies. I think I made a good impression on him. He didn't intend to fire me, only to transfer me to another office. It was his subordinate who made that decision without his permission." Cherry ranted to Mary in a voice full of agitation and righteous indignation.

"Forget it. I'll officially introduce you to each other this afternoon, but..." Something strange flashed through her eyes as a thought occurred to her. She leaned over and whispered something to Cherry.

Zac was preparing to leave the office when he received a call from his mother, who asked him to meet her for afternoon tea.

As soon as Zac entered the most high-end afternoon tea room on the West Street, Mary immediately introduced the person seated next to her. "Zac, darling, do you still remember Aunt Tracy in the United States? This is her daughter Cherry. She had just graduated from Columbia University and come to Dragon City for her career development."
