Chapter 400 Alaric Is So Heartless


Seeing Stellan all jittery, Josep chuckled and said, "Chill out. It's not about Mr. Knight's treatment. That's going just fine." Stellan let out a big sigh of relief and quickly asked, "If it's not that, then what's up, Josep? Why are you here today?" "It's personal," Josep started. "It's about Tommy."

"Tommy?" Stellan's eyes widened as if a light bulb went off. "Is it about his job? Alaric's been handling the company stuff lately, and I haven't had a chance to chat with him about Tommy's gig. Tell Tommy not to sweat it. He's been killing it since he joined, totally earning his paycheck."

Josep looked a bit surprised and then asked, "Galatea, you don't know?"

"About what?" Stellan was even more confused now.

"Tommy got canned," Josep said.

"Tommy got fired?" Stellan was floored. "When did this happen? Alaric didn't say a word to me."

Josep explained, "It must've been in the last couple of days. I don't have the full scoop. Tommy called me this morning to say goodbye and thank me. I was like, 'What's going on?' He told me Mr. Knight fired him. When I asked why, he clammed up and hung up. We haven't been tight for years, but I did help him get this job. I need to know why he got the boot."

Stellan, sounding apologetic, said, "Alaric really didn't mention this to me. Don't stress, Josep. I'll ask him when he gets home tonight. And tell Tommy not to split just yet. I'll figure this out."
