Chapter 12

Alyssa shot Sean a look, and the latter responded by opening the door.

“Ms. Alyssa! Ms. Alyssa!” Michael Grant, who had gotten into trouble yesterday, barged in through the door so quickly that Sean failed to hold him back.

Alyssa frowned at the man who threw himself at her desk. “What are you doing here, Mr. Grant? I’ve approved your resignation. You’re free to seek employment elsewhere.”

“This isn’t fair, Ms. Alyssa! I’ve been working at this hotel for nearly two decades! I’ve given my all to this job and even gotten sick from it. Not even Mr. Taylor would do this to me. How could you fire me just like that?” Michael was sweating buckets as he yelled at her, red–faced.

“I’ve read through the particulars of every hotel executive. You’re indeed ill with fatty liver and gallbladder polyps. Looks to me like the hotel is really profitable.” Her smile was cold.

Michael trembled when he picked up on the sarcasm in her words. “I had no idea that … that Elysian sold our hotel low–quality bedding! We partnered with them for three years, and the price was decent. They’re also an established name in Solana City, so that’s why I …”

Michael picked the document off the floor with great trepidation and went through everything in it. The few pages in his hands felt as though they were burning coals!

“I also received an anonymous tip.” Alyssa took a leisurely sip of coffee as her alluring eyes glinted like cold steel. “A little bird told me that you and Elysian share a close relationship. That’s how you got all these massive rebates and why you bought their shoddy beddings in bulk.”

His teeth were chattering as he grew unstable on his feet.

“Of course, I wouldn’t fire anyone without evidence. But I’m not about to show mercy when I do. have the evidence on hand. If you still have any objections, Mr. Grant, we can get this resolved through legal channels.”
