Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)

Chapter 493 I'm Done For

I was already back in my apartment when Ms. Tanness called.

"What happened, Eva? You're fired? How's that possible? I've asked the HR department, but they didn't hear anything about it. Mr. McLennan and I will be back in Erewhon two days later. Just hold on a little longer." Ms. Tanness lowered her voice as if she was worried someone would overhear her.

I rubbed my temples and said, "Long story short, my supervisor fired me. Don't tell Jack about it, though. I'll handle it."

"Are you sure about that? Are you not going to work in the company anymore?" Ms. Tanness sounded a little anxious.

I was aware that Jack had instructed her to look after me. She would be the first one to get an earful if he found out that something happened to me. Also, I wasn't a kid who went crying for mommy because I lost a fight with my friend. "Don't worry about it, Ms. Tanness. I'll come back to the company, but I want them to beg for me to return."

Mr. Finnley probably overestimated my abilities and thought I could finish a project plan and design in a few days. I had only completed half of my work, and even the main framework wasn't finalized.

Mr. Finnley had no idea about my health, which led to him believing that I worked overtime every single day because I wanted to steal his credit. I sighed quietly. My design work wasn't finished, and I was very confident that no one in the company could complete it.
