Nina Morrison runs away from Carroll Lauren's car to her home. She takes off her dirty pants, takes two painkillers and takes a hot shower to feel better.
Just as she is getting ready for a good sleep, her phone rings again.
On the screen, Lucien Gray's name flashes with green light. Nina Morrison looks at her phone screen and hesitates for a long time before she gets through.
There is no sound on the other end of the line.
"Hello?" Nina Morrison says but Lucien Gray is still silent.
What's wrong? He dials the wrong number? Nina Morrison is about to hang up the phone when she hears a heavy breathing on the phone.
She holds the phone closer to her ear. Yes, sure enough that it is Lucien Gray breathing heavily. He seems to be trying to suppress something.
He is insane. Isn't he supposed to be sleeping with Jasmine Harris right now? Why does he call her? To show off their love?
Furiously, Nina Morrison yells at the phone, "Lucien Gray, Please never bother me again!"
Then, regardless of his reaction, she hangs up the phone, throws it on the bedside table, pulls up the quilt and falls asleep.
What shit man, shit love! In front of benefits, everything is bullshit!
Nina Morrison wakes up at noon the next day. It's only eight minutes to twelve o'clock.
After getting up and washing slowly, Nina Morrison opens her laptop. She wants to send more resumes.
If she can't find a job, she will have nothing to eat.
A company called HSK stands out in a large advertisement. This is the TOP3 company in this industry, only slightly inferior to J&Y Group.
It's still attractive to Nina Morrison.
Nina Morrison refines her resume and is about to click the send. Then it comes to her that Carroll Lauren has talked about HSK. He is familiar with the boss of this company.
After thinking about it, Nina Morrison dials Carroll Lauren's number. If Carroll Lauren could help introduce her, she would get the job with a high probability.
"Hello!" Carroll Lauren's voice sounds hoarse; he seems not in a good mood.
Nina Morrison swallows what she wants to say. She asks concernedly, "Director Lauren, is it inappropriate for me to call? Are you busy now?"
Carroll Lauren says with a bitter smile, "There is no inappropriate. I'm not busy. I have been fired. I won't be busy in the short term."
What? Director Lauren is fired by J&Y Group?
Nina Morrison's jaw drops, "How...How could J&Y Group fire you?"
Director Lauren has done a great job and is Vice President Henry's proud assistant. He is the outstanding staff every year. How could he be fired out of the blue?
Carroll Lauren packs up his staff on the desk and says, "President Henry says that someone from superior leaders exerts pressure on him that J&Y Group has to fire me or the company will lose a lot of money."
Pressure? Nina Morrison is confused, "Director Lauren, have you offended anyone?"
Carroll Lauren shakes his head, "There shouldn't be. Recently the company runs quietly, I don't have the chance to offend someone." The he pauses, "Unless, I offend someone not from J&Y Group, but he has the power to force the president of J&Y Group to fire an outstanding employee of management layer."
Who is this man?
Suddenly Lucien Gray's wild eyes pop into Nina Morrison's mind.
She shudders. Is it Lucien Gray?
Yesterday Carroll Lauren angered him by being with her, so he forces the President of J&Y Group to fire Carroll Lauren?
Little by little, anger rises from the deep of her heart. Lucien Gray is a scum! He doesn't cherish her, but forbids other man to come close to her!
He could not give her love and respect, but forbids other man to give her care and respect!
Is there a more arbitrary and selfish man in the world?
Nina Morrison calls Lucien Gray angrily.
The phone is quickly picked up. Lucien Gray gives a hello. The back sound is loud. He seems to have a meeting, and there is a man speaking.
"Lucien Gray! Carroll Lauren is fired. Is it because of you?" Nina Morrison doesn't want to go around in circles. She confronts him directly.
Lucien Gray walks out of the meeting room. He frowns and says, "Yes. It's me. You want to defend him?"
Nina Morrison sputters angrily, "You make me sick! What can you do except throwing your weight around? You can't bully people just because you have money! What's so great about your money? You have to do business relying on nepotism, you have to hold the legs of the officiallings!"
Nina Morrison gets more and more angry, "I despise you! I want to strangle myself to think that I ever loved you! Being with you is the greatest failure of my life! The biggest stain!"
"Nina Morrison! You court death!" Lucien Gray squeezes a sentence out of his teeth. Nina Morrison is cursing spicily. She wants to say more but a loud noise like the explosion comes out.
Then the phone goes silent.
He deserves it! He must be so angry to throw the phone! Nina Morrison thinks spicily. She wants to reward herself with a smile, but her face is too stiff to laugh.
In the meeting room, the executives of Gray Family hear the loud noise outside the door.
Everyone stares at each other and feels uneasy. Lucien Gray strides in. His face is livid, his eyes are on fire, and his handsome face is heavy with anger, like a devil from hell.
Lucien Gray is usually calm and restrained. Despite his arbitrariness, he controls his emotions well. The executives of Gray Family have never seen him look like this. Fear comes over them.
"Dismiss!" Lucien Gray gives the order in a somber voice. Suddenly his tall figure slants, and he almost falls to the ground.
"President Gray, what's the matter?" In a panic, the executives rush to hold him.
Lucien Gray frowns with an ashen face. He waves his hand impatiently to the crowd, "It's just a pain in the heart. I will be okay to sit down for a while. You get out!"
