Bride to Be, Not Me

Chapter 16 Chapter 16

The next day, Simon rushed to Refined Threads Co.'s branch office when he received a call from HR.

Janice had come to complete her resignation procedures. Though she didn't particularly care about the unpaid salary, she was now finding pleasure in doing things that made Simon uncomfortable. In the past, she would have gone to great lengths to avoid upsetting

him

"Ms. Smith, the financial department is working on the salary issue, but...”

It wasn't that they didn't want to pay Janice or were holding up her resignation. She was, after all, the vice director and the second-largest shareholder of Refined Threads Co.-her departure wasn't something they could decide on their own.

"Double the vice director's salary and pay her."

That would be about ten thousand dollars,

"The staff from the finance department looked at the newcomer. "Mr. Fitzgerald..."

"Leave us."

The finance director closed the door on the way out.

So the rumors about a fallout between Simon and Janice were true! Janice was really leaving. The news spread quickly to the factory workers, leaving the seamstresses stunned.

Their boss was leaving Refined Threads Co.?

In the office, Simon glared furiously at the bracelet on Janice's wrist. It was a bracelet made from a silk brocade with emerald inlays, and one could tell how expensive it was just from the craftsmanship and quality. Simon was convinced Janice had really run straight into an older man's arms. This vile woman!

Janice noticed his rage but felt no discomfort. Instead, she relished it. "Please transfer my salary to my account, Mr. Fitzgerald."

"What salary?" Simon, blinded by anger, spat viciously, "You've been working for me for free! You are made to work tirelessly for nothing! And now you're not only doing that, but you're also selling yourself to an old man, right? Janice, how could you be so disgusting"

The sound of the termination contract being thrown at Simon's face was like a resounding slap. The contract fell to the ground, and Simon saw the title on it clearly.

Termination? Was she planning to join another company? Did the old man she found arrange a job for her? This wicked woman!

"Hurry up and sign it."
