Chapter 798 Fell Into Despair
Chapter 798 Fell Into Despair
The meeting with the top management had finally come to an end. But when the senior managers were about to leave, Sarah realized something.
She ran forward and grabbed Chloe's arm. "No, you can't fire me!"
Chloe looked at Sarah with a smile. "Why can't I fire you? I'm not the only one who wants you out of here. The entire board of directors expressed their opinion. So why are you still asking me to stop it? It's honestly quite useless at this point."
But no matter what Chloe said, Sarah didn't let go of her hand. She even pulled on Chloe's clothes, afraid that Chloe would just leave.
"Ms. Qiao, you can't fire me. I've been working in this company for so many years. Even though I'm currently short on inspiration, you can't treat me this way!"
Sarah gnashed her teeth and bitterly looked at her. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
In fact, she didn't know what gave her so much courage to stop Chloe from leaving.
As a response, Chloe squinted at her. "I didn't mean to be so cruel. But they all wanted to fire you. You know, they are also members of this company. I can't make the decision by myself. So you'd better ask them rather than begging me right now."
As she spoke, Chloe pointed to the senior managers behind her who hadn't left yet.
The group of senior managers was rendered speechless.
Did she mean that?
Or did they heard it wrong?
What did the CEO just say? So now, it was their decision to fire Sarah? And she had nothing to do with it?
Every single manager wanted to roll their eyes at Chloe. She was the one who wanted to fire Sarah. She even threatened them and forced them to agree with her. But now, she just told Sarah that it was them who wanted to fire her.
In truth, it wasn't a big deal for them to fire somebody and they weren't afraid that Sarah would take revenge on them since they had grown to dislike the woman.
Nonetheless, they still felt annoyed when they heard that Chloe was putting the blame on them.
If they would be honest, they would want to slap Chloe, but they could only think about it in their hearts. They didn't have the guts to really do it. Who would dare to actually slap the CEO?
The new CEO had a tendency to use some indecorous means to get what she wanted. Besides, her personality was just too eccentric.
They didn't want to mess with her.
When the managers met Chloe for the first time, they had thought that the new CEO was just a little girl that they could easily push around and even manipulate. But they couldn't have been more wrong.
At that moment, they just felt...
ashamed.
Sarah continued staring at Chloe and then turned to look at the senior managers. She was hesitating too much because she didn't know whom to turn to for help. After all, it was Chloe who really wanted to fire her.
Chloe was perfectly aware of what Sarah was thinking, so she took the chance to pull her arm back. Quickly, she turned to leave.
However, she didn't forget to address the senior managers.
"For the people at the back, don't forget to escort her out of the company."
Sarah slumped to the floor at that point.
The first thing she thought of was that
she was doomed.
'Why?
Why did she have to fire me?
Why is she so hostile to me as soon as she came to this company?
Is it simply because she doesn't like me?
There are so many people in this corporation. Why did she single me out?' A lot of thoughts were circling in Sarah's mind.
Meanwhile, the senior managers frowned when they heard Chloe's instructions.
Looking at Sarah who had collapsed on the floor, they didn't really want to get involved more than they already were, but Chloe had given the instructions and they couldn't ignore it.
All of a sudden, all of the senior managers fled from the meeting room and only one was left with Sarah.
The manager who had reacted too slow was dumbfounded. 'What the hell is this? Seriously?
What's going on?
What did I get myself into?
What am I supposed to do now?
How could they run so fast?'
The people who ran were smarter than the one who was left. It was obvious that Chloe meant the one left behind should make sure that Sarah left the company. So they just tried to run as fast as they could, trying to avoid being the last one at the back.
The remaining senior manager had to go through the trouble of calling security and asking them to come and escort Sarah out.
But Sarah made a scene and it took a long time before they were finally able to take her out of the building. After all, she had been in the company for a long time, so some people were still afraid of her.
But she wasn't that strong and there were a lot of guards. Even if she didn't want to leave the company, she had to leave the building eventually.
When Sarah was finally out of the building, her cell phone suddenly rang. She impatiently took out the device. But within a second, she froze right where she was standing.
The message was from a strange number. "How does it feel to be kicked out of the company now? You even had to leave like this. Soon enough, you will have a better understanding of what despair really is."
The message looked like a prank but it still scared her. Soon enough, she forgot about it. After all, she had more important problems at hand. So she calmed herself down with the idea that it was really just a prank.
But in the following days, Sarah actually fell into despair, as the message had told her. No matter what kind of job she applied for or what company she applied at, no one would hire her.
Meanwhile, Derrick followed Chloe back to her office after Sarah left the company. He already made himself comfortable without Chloe telling him to do so.
He looked at Chloe with curiosity and asked, "What happened between you and that woman? Why do you hate her so much that you had to fire her on your first day here?"
Sitting idly in the executive chair with her legs crossed and her hands on top of her lap, Chloe looked at him and casually responded, "Haven't I already told you that I just merely disliked the sight of her?"
Seeing her act this way, Derrick shrugged his shoulders and sat down on the couch in front of her.
He grunted and said, "You can fool those old men, but you can't fool me. Do you really just dislike her? I don't think so. I think there's some deep hatred between the two of you." Derrick thought that it was the only possible reason that Chloe was so cruel to Sarah.
Chloe then looked at Derrick and lightly asked, "What's wrong? Do you feel sad for her? You can go and get her back if you care so much about her."
Although they just met for the first time today, they became very well acquainted with each other within a few hours.
They were even teasing each other now.
Derrick widened his eyes in shock and looked at Chloe. "Do I look like I have a crush on her? You're joking. That's ridiculous. You should really work on your jokes."
"Well, what actually is going on between the two of you? Where did you get those drawings? Don't tell me it's nothing but a coincidence."
Derrick put on a smirk. He was proud of his own resourcefulness. "You're right. It was just a mere accident."
