True Love Waits

Chapter 711 I Miss My Brother

Orion hurried to the two arguing women. He glanced at Blair with a complicated look in his eyes before telling Rebecca, "It was the decision of the board of directors to fire you. Miss Jing had nothing to do with it. If you have any doubts or complaints, please bring them to me. Stop putting innocent people on the spot."

Clearly, Orion was frustrated. Although he was the CEO of the company, the real power was still in the hands of his grandfather.

Every time his grandfather issued an order, not only did he have to say yes, but even the board of directors followed suit without hesitation.

The personnel transfer concerning Rebecca and Blair was also his grandfather's order. Earlier, all the old man did was merely speak a few words to all the directors on the board and just like that, the decision was made. Before long, the personnel manager executed the decision in an efficient way.

Since Orion still cared about Blair, he wanted to get to the bottom of it. As a result, he decided to confront his grandfather. The old man told him that Rebecca had offended a big shot with great influence, who they couldn't afford to be on bad terms with if they wanted to develop their business in this city.

That was all the information his grandfather parted with and as for the details, he kept most of it on the hush-hush. A few minutes ago, the old man asked him to handle the matter personally. On his way to the translation department, Orion more or less figured out who the big shot was. It had to be Wesley.

Although the other colleagues assumed that Orion might be Blair's mysterious husband, Rebecca didn't think that was the case. After all, Orion usually spoke English, but Blair's husband spoke standard Chinese.

Since the CEO himself had stepped in to deal with the matter, Rebecca instantly pulled back from making a scene, although she was still curious about Blair's husband. "Is Blair's husband a member of the board?"

Blair thought that Rebecca's curiosity was a bit ridiculous. What was the point now? Why was she so interested in who her husband was?

Orion took one good look at Blair and then at Rebecca. "That's a private question. You'd better ask Miss Jing yourself. But now if you don't have any other questions, please pack your things and leave the company."

There was a finality in the CEO's tone. Rebecca realized she had no choice but to shut her mouth and pack up her things.

Just as Orion was about to leave, Blair stopped him. "Orion, I'm sorry to trouble you," she apologized.

Orion smiled. "No big deal."

"Well, actually, I think you should talk to the personnel manager. Maybe the company should reconsider their decision about my promotion." Blair wasn't ambitious enough to climb over another person for the sake of career growth. She was quite happy in her current position and being promoted to a manager was never really her plan.
