chapter 128
-Your letter of resignation and you’re off my premises.
He pursed his lips as he clasped his hands together… gently, he raised his head towards Damon and began to take a few slow steps towards him, when Damon stopped him with a wave of his hand.
-Not another step, unless you want to strangle me before you go.
-I’m sorry, Dam… I meant Mr Dixon. I didn’t mean to be arrogant and I beg you to reconsider your decision. I won’t take you on again, I promise. This job is all I have and I don’t think any other matchmaker could pay me what you do. It’s how I feed my family and…
-and what martin? you even have a family and you open your mouth to tell me you were going to screw my employee. I’m going to give you a chance on one condition: your position will be changed, and if that doesn’t suit you, you can always go and find a job with my competitors.
Martin shook his head negatively, asking Damon not to do that. This job was the best in the company and he couldn’t lose it. This was what he’d been bragging about everywhere, saying he was Damon’s partner.
-No, you can’t do that, out of gratitude for all those years of work, you can’t do that.
-before today I couldn’t do it out of gratitude as you say Martin, but today I’ve decided to make radical decisions in favor of employees like you. Everyone should recognize their place. I recruited you Martin, you didn’t know your job very well, I offered you a six-month internship and gave you a salary, I gave you the biggest job in my company, you told the whole world you were my partner and I wouldn’t say the opposite, you challenged me I didn’t say anything but you crossed the line. From now on, Charles Gautier is in charge of the department, and you will take Olivia’s place.
Martin squinted. He’d come to tell her of her resignation, believing that he hadn’t been aware of it, and it was because of this that he’d just lost his job.
-Did you know then?Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
-Aware of what?
-that she’d resigned, she sent me her letter of resignation this morning and that’s why I’m here, I came to give it to you after I’d printed it out.
Damon looked him straight in the eye to see if he was serious. Without further ado, he tore off the paper in his hand and saw that it was indeed a perfectly typed letter of resignation, the only reason for which was that he was tired and no longer wanted to work. He tossed everything on his desk, screaming like a man at the slaughterhouse. In less than three seconds, his desk opened to reveal Carline and Stephanie.
Stephanie had taken the two days Damon had given her to think things over, and she couldn’t afford to leave her position at Dixon. While she wasn’t sure she’d be able to find another job elsewhere that paid as well, so even though she wasn’t ready to give up, she wanted to wait before resuming.
-But what’s happened to him?” Carline asked Martin when she saw what Damon was in, and it was even worse than what she’d seen the day before.
-Olivia has sent her letter of resignation and he can’t stand it at all.
A smile of joy played across Stephanie’s lips. She was happy to know that this girl was finally going to get married and leave her the voice book with Damon. She began to walk towards him with a reassuring step, and when she put her hand on his shoulder, Damon grabbed it with all his might. Damon grabbed her forcefully and slammed her against the wall, staring at her. At that moment, he was certainly looking for someone to blame.
-Didn’t I ask you to leave this company?
-No, you gave me two days to think it over and I decided to leave you alone.
-not to leave you alone. I’ve just told Martin, it’s time to get back to the good manners of our employees and that’s effective for everyone. Get out of my office now.
-No, we can’t leave you like this. You’re in very bad shape and if it’s an employee problem, I’ll put an advert out now and by tomorrow there’ll be applicants.
Since they didn’t want to go out, Damon decided to leave them in his office. The only reason he wanted to give Olivia’s job to Martin was so that she could become his personal assistant.
