Bye, My Irresistible Love

Lucy’s POV 

Half way through the lunch, Jane seemed to remember something she turned to George and said, “I’d like to borrow one of your employees. The engineer that I’ve been trying to reach out to has recently returned to Florida. I’m going there to meet with him. Didn’t Lucy just come back from there? I’d like to ask for her assistance. After all, this is her expertise of course, even if the other party refuses to cooperate with us, we can still pay her a commission. A smaller one though.”

 I immediately shook my head in protest. I just got back from Florida, and there was no way I’d go back to that place right away Going on a business trip was never easy for me, let alone going with Jane. Obviously, she had an ulterior motive about this. Thus, I winked at George and shook my head to express that I didn’t want to go But to my chagrin, he nodded in response. 

“Sure. You’re welcome to take her there.”

 Was he abandoning me now that he had no use for me? Earlier, he used me to invite Helen out for lunch. And now that he didn’t need me anymore, he disposed of me by pushing me into Jane’s trap. God, what an annoying asshole! I was so angry that I gritted my teeth. Then, I turned to Helen and let out a sigh. 

Honestly. I had done too much for my best friend. Jane looked at George in shock. Clearly, she didn’t expect him to agree so readily Helen’s face turned grim. I could tell that she was worried that Jane was plotting something against me and that I’d be suffering under that bitch’s grubby hands again. In order to comfort Helen, I held her hand and gave her a reassuring look. While staring at our interlocked hands, George remarked, “Dyer is over there. You’ll have to talk to him and persuade him to come to New York.” 

“Got it. Remember, you promised me that as long as he comes to New York to see you, whether he agrees to work with you or not, you’ll pay me a commission. The same goes for you, Jane. Once we finish these two tasks, I’ll complete my goal for the entire year.” 

As a matter of fact, I’d be able to exceed my goal. As a professional manager, Dyer was paid a high annual salary. The engineer that Jane planned to meet in person must be well-paid as well Once I managed to help recruit those two, I’d definitely exceed my goal of the year Therefore, my commission would be considerable.

After lunch, Helen and I left the staff canteen. I said to her, “Don’t worry. I don’t really care what they’re planning The most important thing for me is to make money. If Jane dares to act against me, I’m going to make her pay for it! Don’t you know me well?” Helen nodded in a daze. She then went back to her office after telling me again to be more careful while I was away with Jane. 

Helen’s POV

Once I was back in our temporary office, I noticed that the atmosphere in the room was depressing

 My colleagues were all looking at me with conflicted gazes. In their eyes, even though Mattie was the one who made mistakes, I failed to solve the problem internally. And instead, I used George to deal with her, regardless of the fact that we were colleagues. I was well aware that they were prejudiced against me and had misconceptions about me Needless to say, no matter how hard I tried to explain myself, they probably wouldn’t hear me out, so I decided not to explain anymore I heard that Anya took Mattie away after the meeting in the morning. She went to the human resources department to go through the resignation procedures Anya had never procrastinated when it came to her work.
