True Love Waits

Chapter 710 Big Man

"If she were a good manager, your company couldn't have fired her like that. It wasn't hard. The wrong word went in the right ear. Think about it. Anyway, it's not your fault. You don't need to feel sorry for her," Wesley said on the other end.

Blair didn't know what to say, unconvinced by his explanation. She guessed it had to do with Wesley's family. They had considerable influence in the city. Whoever fired Rebecca might have wanted to get on Wesley's good side.

She touched her forehead, baffled. "Don't do this. I didn't earn this. Everyone knows," she said in a low voice.

What would her colleagues think about her? Probably what she was thinking already. That she knew someone, and that someone got her promoted.

"I didn't do anything. They were already thinking of promoting you. I just upped their timetable some. I don't have that much pull."

Blair frowned, not knowing how to get him to stop this. He seemed to have an answer for everything, and insisted he had nothing to do with it. She sighed, "Come on. I was constantly taking time off. And I was becoming a liability. If my manager got on my case, then she probably felt justified doing so."

"I can't understand why you've put up with her for such a long time. What's done is done, though. She gives you any more grief, I'll handle it in person."

"No, no... Please, don't," Blair begged anxiously.

She was confused. That wasn't Wesley's style. He was generally a reasonable man, but why didn't he listen to her? He was stubbornly digging in, determined to see Rebecca fired.

He even said he would come to her company to handle it in person. Suddenly, Blair recalled the time she resigned from the Jin Group. If Wesley got involved, she was afraid Orion's company might go up in flames too. She didn't need that.

Wesley said with a smile, "Just leave it alone. I'll have someone handle it."
