Kent and Melissa Were Fired

 Kent and Melissa Were Fired

1 She stood up and stretched her arm to open the door. The moment the door opened she saw Sasha, who was adorned in a beautiful makeup, standing in front of her, holding a pile of documents. The moment she caught sight of her, the look on Sasha’s face changed. She was about to greet Sasha, but Sasha walked directly to the desk in front of Lucian and said intimately, “Lucian, this is the sales sheet of the Sales Department of this quarter, I tirelessly worked overtime last night and I’ve sorted out all the data as it should be. Kindly have a look at it. ”

2 “We are now in the company.”

3 Without raising his head, Lucian took the papers on the desk from Sasha and began to peruse them.

4 “Well…

5 CEO.”

6 After a moment of hesitation, Sasha changed her way to talk with Lucian.

7 Not wanting to cause any interruption to their conversation, Amelia tiptoed to her desk and sneaked back to watch Sasha.

8 Sasha showed her slim figure in a business suit and a short skirt she wore. The black stocking and red high heels set off her feminine charms.

9 “Okay, I got it.”

10 Lucian scanned all the documents and proceeded with his usual work.

11 “Lucian, will you be free after work?”

12 Sasha responded softly. But since there were only three of them in the office, Amelia could hear everything they were whispering.

13 She gathered her wits, waiting for Lucian’s response.

14 She was afraid Lucian would say yes, but she had to pretend still to be calm.

15 Lucian raised his head, with a little impatient. Snubbing the question of Sasha, he coldly said, “can you ask Kent and Melissa of the sales department to immediately come to my office?”

16 Those two names caught the attention of Amelia, she quickly remembered that the woman she met at the stairs last time was Melissa, because Kent had called her name.

17 Amelia could not figure out why they were being called. She wondered whether they had done something wrong with their work?

18 Because she noticed that Lucian was somehow angry.

19 “Okay then.”

20 Sasha agreed. After a short moment of hesitation, she said, “but Lucian, you should be knowing what day it is today, right?”

21 Lucian frowned and said, “sure I know.”

22 “By any chance do you need my company?”

23 Leaning against the desk, Sasha crossed her long beautiful legs.

24 It looked like the two men were whispering to each other, and Amelia did not comprehend what they were talking about.

25 After the tender voice of Sasha, Lucian gave an unexpected response. ” After work, I’ll be waiting for you at the company’s entrance,” he said

26 Amelia’s eyes and mouth were frozen wide open in an expression of stunned surprise.

27 Sasha turned around to give Amelia a smug smile after hearing such a lovely response. She then strutted off from the office of the CEO.

28 Then there was a long silence like a gaping void, needing to be filled with sounds, words or anything.

29 If she asked Lucian what he was going to do tonight, would that be too irrational?

30 Because Lucian looked troubled. He seemed to have something going on in his mind and his eyebrows slightly twisted.

31 At this moment, she felt like a stranger. The sweet feeling that was in the morning was now totally different from that at the moment.

32 In order not to be noticed by Lucian, she focused on the document she had. Due to her distraction, the ink stained the document. In panic, she put the pen aside and raised the document. She kept blowing on the paper and did not want to screw it up.

33 Her actions attracted the attention of Lucian. She heard a flat voice from the other side of the office, ” hey, what’s wrong?”

34 “Nothing is wrong.”

35 She replied with a guilty conscience, and her face was struck with panic.

36 Without asking anything, Lucian drew back his eyes and continued to concentrate on the documents at hand.

37 Then, the office door rang again. Amelia dropped the documents she had in her hand and got up to open the door.

38 Immediately she opened the door, she saw Kent and Melissa.

39 Last time she only saw the back of Melissa who worn long hair. Her hair color was candy color, which was loved by young girls. And her skin was fair almost like a porcelain doll. This kind of hair color was very suitable for her. She looked very professional and smart in the simple work clothes.

40 When Kent saw Amelia, who opened the door for him, Kent grinned and greeted, ” Hi Amelia.”

41 At the thought of Courtney pouring wine for him, Amelia could not smile back to him but made courtesy gesture.

42 Certainly, Melissa knew the identity of Amelia, so she politely greeted her.

43 “Are you looking for us, President?”

44 The two of them walked to Lucian’s desk and Amelia silently went back to her seat. She pretended as if she was studying her documents, but she was keenly listening to their talk.

45 Now that Kent had broken up with Courtney, could it be that Kent and Melissa had been in a relationship? She wondered.

46 After she parted ways with Jasper, she envied the love between Courtney and Kent, but she didn’t expect that their love could not last to eternity.

47 “It’s your privacy and I don’t have any right to intervene. But of late the sales department has been in a bad mood. You should be knowing the reasons as to why.”

48 Lucian spoke with anger, dropping all the documents and leaning back against the leather chair.

49 Amelia frowned. Finally, she could not continue to pretend any longer and looked directly to both of them.

50 Luckily, they stood with their backs facing her. So, she could watch them without hesitation.

51 “Mr. Lucian, Kent and I we are in love. Why do people have to judge me for my affair?”

52 It was Melissa. Her voice was full of bitterness.

53 At long last, their affair was brought to light and Amelia’s worries came to an end.

54 If she was not in the office area, she would definitely come to Kent and ask him if he had forgotten what he had promised Courtney?

55 “Allow me to remind you that in our company there is a provision that the employees are not permitted to have an affair with each other besides professional relationship.”

56 Lucian spoke with a cold face.

57 “Hey Mr. Lucian, do you think that you able to keep the talents by doing this?”

58 Melissa understood what Lucian meant and grinned coldly: “the sales department is the fundamental part of the revenue, if you want to fire us for this rule, then we have nothing to say about it.”

59 Melissa was primarily in charge of market research. She had worked for the company for two years, and was the best choice for the sales director in the next season of the sales department. She said that probably because she thought that the Zhan Group needed a person like her, so she could not be fired.

60 However, she didn’t realize that Lucian hated being threatened by others most. Therefore, what Melissa said didn’t make any difference to her career. On the contrary, it shattered her dream of staying in the Zhan Group.

61 “An employee who can disregard the constitution of the organization, no matter how excellent they are, our company will not hire such individuals.”

62 Lucian spoke without making any facial expression.

63 Once Melissa heard Lucian’s response; her face turned pale in shock. She couldn’t believe what he said. “Hey Mr. Lucian, kindly listen me out, we have so many single female colleagues in the sales department, and they also have relationships with male colleagues. Why shouldn’t I have one too?”

64 “You surely know what you are doing.”

65 When Lucian said this, he coldly glanced at Kent and said, “If there are any violations of the company’s polices, we will by all means try to prevent it. Suffice to say that, you two should go to the personnel department and say goodbye.”

66 Kent’s eyes and mouth froze wide open in an expression of stunned surprise of what he heard. When he was about to utter something, Melissa quickly stopped him and asked, “Are you going to give up our love just for a job?”

67 Both Melissa and Amelia were at the same age, but Amelia was worse than Melissa in terms of experiences and elegance. When Melissa interrupted Kent and spoke the word love, Amelia could not help but sneer at her.

68 Kent came to the Zhan Group less than a month ago, and they got to know each other within a month and established their love. If the relationship between them was love, what was the relationship between Courtney and Kent?

69 “Mr. Lucian, excuse us, we are leaving now.”

70 Maybe it was because he felt embarrassed, Kent took Melissa out of the president’s office. Kent was paying particular attention to Amelia as they passed by Amelia’s desk.

71 Although it was only for a moment, from Kent’s eyes Amelia sensed the rage.

72 She wasn’t sure whether Kent’s anger was directed at her, but it seemed strange to her. It felt like a deep irony to their friendship of many years.

73 “Mr. Lucian, I would like to go out for a moment.”

74 When she figured Kent could not be far away, Amelia wanted to inquire from him what was going on.

75 Lucian looked at Amelia and guessed what she was thinking. He reminded her, “He is annoyed. Do you want to get back at him in that mood he is?”

76 She had thought about it before. But since she had known Kent for so many years, she could understand if he was upset.

77 “I want to ask him right away.”

78 She responded stubbornly, and had already reached the door of the office.

79 Lucian did not try to stop her but clearly asked her not to act emotionally.

80 Lucian called his assistant, Eric, after Amelia had left the office and told him to follow Amelia in a distance of ten meters. If anything happened to her, to inform him immediately.

81 When Amelia saw that Melissa and Kent were moving into the elevator, she hurriedly said to Kent, “Wait a moment, please!”

82 They both turned around at the same time and looked at Amelia with a surprise and a bit of displeasure.

83 Melissa flipped her long hair backwards and said coldly, “what can I possibly do for you, Mrs. Amelia?”

84 Her tone and expression were quite rude.

85 With a faint smile, Amelia looked at Kent and asked, “Can we kindly have a talk for a short while?”

86 “If you want to say something, just say it in front of me. Why don’t you keep your distance from me?” Melissa interrupted. Her face dimmed with disappointment as Amelia did not get Kent’s response.

87 She could see that Melissa was a woman of great strength and focused. Amelia didn’t understand why Kent would fall in love with her.

88 Occasionally, Courtney was somewhat capricious, but she was really naive in front of Kent. She always obeyed him and had a fight with her family in order to protect their love. But Amelia didn’t expect that Kent would change his mind and dump Courtney just like that.

89 “Kent, what’s your opinion?”

90 Amelia specifically asked for Kent’s advice as she didn’t want to look at Melissa again.

91 Kent paused for a moment with an awkward expression on his face, and then turned to Melissa who stood in front of him and replied, “Amelia is my good friend. I want to have a talk with her alone.”

92 Amelia was truly shocked after hearing his response. She wondered, ‘ is he the Kent I still know?’
