Chapter 52 The Opportunity
Chapter 52 The Opportunity
Robert seemed to see something terrible. He ignored Georgia, but rushed out of the villa directly.
Georgia was instantly confused.
It was just a simple tattoo. Why was his reaction so intense?
The tattoo was a rising sun.
There was a name under the sun, Travis.
It represented Travis Armstrong. He was Georgia’s first love.
Georgia and Travis loved each other so much. But later, Travis suddenly went abroad. Then they broke up! This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
It took Georgia a long time to come out of the sadness.
She didn’t want to think about the past. After Robert left, Georgia dressed, and then quickly left here.
It was late at night. There was no taxi at all!
Georgia walked on the road at night for more than two hours. When Georgia arrived at the hospital, her feet were already full of blisters.
She did not dare to let Vanessa find out that she was unemployed. After Georgia dealt with the blisters on her feet, she came to the ward lightly.
Vanessa fell asleep on the sofa in the ward.
Georgia looked at Annie for a long time before finding a place to sleep.
The next morning, Georgia was woken up by Vanessa.
"Gigi, when did you go back to the hospital yesterday?"
"About twelve o'clock, you and Annie were already asleep at that time, so I didn’t wake you up."
After Georgia finished speaking, Vanessa laughed.
"Why do you always work overtime? Do you have overtime pay?"
"Of course."
Georgia forced a smile.
"Vanessa, I'm still in contact with the hospital. Please take care of Annie these few days. I'm going to work now."
"Don't worry. I will take care of Annie."
After the two finished talking, Georgia pretended to go to work.
Today, Georgia decided to go to Mr. Knight’s house to have a look
Mr. Knight’s phone was always unreachable. Now, even his secretary’s phone couldn’t be reached. After thinking about it, Georgia decided to go to Mr. Knight’s house. It happened that she had been there several times.
After taking a taxi to the villa where Mr. Knight lived, Georgia took the initiative to knock on the door. But no one came to open the door.
Georgia kept ringing the doorbell. About ten minutes later, a servant walked out and took a look. After finding that it was Georgia, she finally opened the door.
"Miss Lane, why are you here?"
The servant let Georgia come in. Georgia sat in the living room. The servant went to pour a cup of tea and put it in front of Georgia.
"Claudia, where has Mr. Knight gone? Why isn’t there any news from him at all?"
Although Robert said that Mr. Knight had an accident and it was him who did it, Georgia felt that Mr. Knight was so powerful that he could not be easily dealt with.
"Miss Lane, I don't know where our boss has gone. These days, there are so many people coming here. So I didn't plan to open the door when you knocked on the door just now. I was annoyed by those people."
"Was there Mr. Knight's secretary or a confidant of Mr. Knight to come to inform you?"
Claudia shook her head.
"The boss has a few personal secretaries and assistants. Generally, the company's affairs can be handled by these people. But these people have all disappeared. I can't contact them."
"I heard other people say that the company seems to have a problem now. The boss is not there, so other factions in the company are starting to fight for power. If the boss doesn't come back to preside over the overall situation, something big may happen."
"Then do you know where Mr. Knight had the accident?"
Georgia felt that she still had to confirm it. She wanted to confirm whether Robert was scaring her, or it really had something to do with him.
"I heard the boss saying that he went to Africa to discuss a business. The public security is not good there. Maybe something really happened."
Georgia said a few words with Claudia, and finally left disappointedly.
Now it seemed that Robert was the first person to say that Mr. Knight had the accident. Besides, he admitted it was him who did it. Georgia felt very guilty.
Just because she asked Mr. Knight for help, then she got Mr. Knight involved in. Now, she didn’t know whether Mr. Knight was alive or not. Even his company might have problems.
Georgia didn't know how to help Mr. Knight, or whether she could repay Mr. Knight in the future. She kept praying that Mr. Knight could come back safely.
After coming out of the villa of Mr. Knight, it was already 12 o’clock at noon. Georgia found a park aimlessly and sat down, thinking about the matter about Annie and Vanessa going abroad in the future. The matter she went to Callum for help yesterday was disrupted by Robert. Then Robert came to humiliate her. When Georgia thought about what Robert did to her last night, she felt so disgust.
While she was thinking like this, her mobile phone rang.
It was an unfamiliar phone number. After hesitating for a while, she still answered the phone.
"Hello, who is it?"
Georgia asked politely.
"Georgia, this is Aston. Professor Lee is back. He has already known the matter about you. He asks you to go back to the institute. He has something to tell you personally."
Georgia was very surprised. In fact, she only came to MU Research Institute for a few days. Professor Lee had been attending seminars abroad for the past few days and had not come back.
She was fired the day before yesterday. She thought that she would never be able to return to MU Research Institute in this life. Georgia never thought that the professor would call her back.
She had already had expectations, so she asked cautiously.
"Aston, what will the professor talk with me?"
"I don't know. The professor is introverted. We can't see through his ideas. But I think you may come back and continue to do research. If you want to seize this opportunity, I suggest you come to MU Research Institute right now."
Georgia hesitated for a while. Then she agreed.
"Okay, I’m coming now. Aston, please help me tell Professor Lee."
After hanging up the phone, Georgia's hands trembled.
It was Mr. Knight who introduced the job to her. Now, Mr. Knight had disappeared. Georgia didn't know who to call for help.
She thought that she had no hope anymore, but now Professor Lee asked her to go back.
Maybe she still had a chance to realize her dream in this life. Georgia immediately took a taxi to the MU Research Institute.
When she arrived at the gate of the institute, the guard stopped Georgia directly.
"Miss Lane, you have been fired. What are you doing now?"
The door guard probably knew something, with a contemptuous expression on his face.
Georgia’s face turned pale
This situation reminded her of the year when she was in college, when she was accused of plagiarism by the whole school. They all felt that she damaged the reputation of the school.
At that time, no matter where she went, she could see the contempt in those people’s eyes.
Only she herself knew that she was innocent. But surrounded by that kind of gaze, Georgia was still a little sad.
"Professor Lee called me back, saying that there is something to tell me. Please open the door. I want to go in to see Professor Lee."
Georgia explained politely. But the guard snorted.
"Miss Lane, you have been fired. Don’t you feel ashamed to come back? The whole MU Research Institute knows that you plagiarized others’ results. Are you coming back now to make the reputation of MU Research Institute worse? Do you know other institutes are laughing at us now?"
The guard looked at her with disdain.
"Miss Lane, you'd better leave now. Otherwise, I will call the police and ask the police to drive you out. It will be embarrassing."
If it hadn't been the experience of these years that made her strong, Georgia felt that she would definitely be unable to help crying when she heard such words.
She turned and left. Then she picked up the phone to call Aston.
"Aston, the guard doesn't allow me to enter. Please come out and pick me up. I can't get in."
Georgia didn't notice that her voice was trembling, but Aston did. She seemed to be crying.
It was true that he forgot to tell the guard that Georgia would return to the research institute. Recently, the story of Georgia had spread throughout MU Research Institute.
Everyone laughed at their research team. Even the people inside their research team scolded Georgia from time to time.
Aston did not comment. But he subconsciously believed in Georgia.
He had talked several times with Percy. He felt Percy sucked. So he did not believe that the experimental data and papers were made by Percy.
"Georgia, sorry. I forgot to tell the guard. You are waiting outside the door. I’m coming to pick you up right away."
After Georgia gave a hum, she waited at the bus stop next to MU Research Institute. After waiting for more than five minutes, Aston made a call.
"I have come out. Where are you?"
"Aston, I'm at the bus stop. Don’t move. I’m coming over right away."
After Georgia finished speaking, she walked directly toward the door again.
"Let’s go. I’ll take you in. Everyone in MU Research Institute knows about you. The boss reports your matters, saying MU Research Institute must carefully check resumes in the future. If you see their eyes, don’t take it to your heart. The world is just like this. When you make your own achievements, no one will look down on you again."
Aston was comforting her. Georgia thought of the disgust on his face when he saw her at the first time.
Now, everyone in MU Research Institute hated her. But this person believed in her.
Maybe life was so strange sometimes.
"Aston, thank you."
After Georgia finished speaking, Aston didn't say anything, but led Georgia to the door.
The guard naturally knew Aston. There were about a thousand people in MU Research Institute.
But Aston was the most handsome and talented.
He was good-looking. So there were many women in MU Research Institute who wanted to be his girlfriend. Even the guard once wanted to introduce his daughter to this man.
It was just that Aston was always on his own and his temper was weird. Many women gave up after trying a few times.
The guard heard that only one female colleague of Aston had been pursuing Aston persistently. He couldn't remember the name. He heard that the woman’s family was quite rich.
Originally, the guard felt strange when he saw Aston coming out during work hours. But now Aston actually brought in Georgia who was criticized by the entire company. So the guard asked.
"Mr. Powell, are you bringing Georgia in the company?"
