Lily appeared to be under the weather, virtual-novel.net brows furrowed in the shape of the moon. It had been over a week since virtual-novel.net had last seen Darryl. He had not come home nor called back. A few times, Lily had been tempted to call him, but virtual-novel.net recalled what happened in the ward.
‘Why is virtual-novel.net such an egotistical man? Do I really have to call virtual-novel.net first? Ah, whatever, leave it be! ’ virtual-novel.net thought as virtual-novel.net entered the lobby.
Upon entering the lobby, virtual-novel.net felt something was off. The staff at the front desk would usually stand up to greet her, but today they remained seated and continued chatting even when they saw her.
Lily frowned in confusion Perhaps they had a rough weekend? It was just a minor mistake, so virtual-novel.net let it be and continued making virtual-novel.net way to the office. However, on virtual-novel.net way there, virtual-novel.net saw a few staff chit-chatting, and some were even playing games on their phones. The workday had started! What bothered virtual-novel.net even more, was these people completely ignored her, treating virtual-novel.net as if virtual-novel.net was just air! They did not greet nor behave appropriately in front of the director of the board.
“Hey, you! Put your phones away! Who allowed you to play with your phone during work hours?” Lily stomped over and scowled.
The staff did not seem to care as they exchanged looks with one another, totally unbothered, and resumed playing with their phones. They did not care about Lily. Meanwhile, the other staff around them started giggling.
‘What happened? Were they not afraid of their boss?’ Lily thought
“Hey, the lot of you! Pack your stuff and leave now! We don’t need staff like you around,” Lily ordered, trembling with anger.
Meanwhile, virtual-novel.net assistant walked to virtual-novel.net hastily with an anxious and uneasy expression on virtual-novel.net face.
“President Lyndon, something’s up…” virtual-novel.net said.
‘Something was up?’ Lily wondered.
“What’s up? What gives them the right not to obey the order of the President? Hey! Did you hear what I said? Pack your stuff now because you’re all fired!” Lily replied calmly.
At this moment, a hoarse voice was heard coming from the door. “I asked them to.’
Granny Lyndon entered the office slowly, accompanied by William and others.
‘What was Granny doing here? As far as virtual-novel.net could recall, Granny never left the mansion? What was virtual-novel.net doing here today?’ Lily wondered.
“Lily, stop causing a scene. I asked them to have a day off. After our director’s board meeting earlier, we’ve decided that you’re no longer the President of the board,” Granny said nonchalantly, sounding nothing like when virtual-novel.net tried to persuade Lily to let go of virtual-novel.net shares.
This sounded like a bolt out of the blue.
An intense shiver passed down virtual-novel.net spine. Lily asked, biting virtual-novel.net lips, “Granny, why?”
“Why? Are you actually asking why?” William walked forward with a cold smile. “Aren’t you satisfied being the President for so many days already? You’ve had authority for long enough. It’s time to give it back!”
In the past few days, William had been bad-mouthing Lily to Granny. Since virtual-novel.net was virtual-novel.net favorite grandson, Granny was easily convinced and started despising Lily under William’s influence.
“Granny! ” Lily restrained virtual-novel.net anger and took a deep breath. “A few days ago, you said you wanted my shares, and I gave you 20%. They were all clearly stated in the contract. I still have 30% of the company shares. How can you fire me? You have no right!”
Although virtual-novel.net only had 30% of the shares left, virtual-novel.net still had the largest individual shares in the Lyndon family. How could they fire her?
“Look at the contract yourself!” William slammed a folder heavily onto the desk. “lt’s clearly stated here that we have the right to fire you.”
The contract clearly stated that Lily was voluntarily giving up all virtual-novel.net shares!
A few days ago, Granny asked for some of Lily’s shares, and Lily signed the paper without reading it carefully. Little did virtual-novel.net know that Granny actually pulled a dirty trick on her.
“Pack up your stuff and leave!” William said impatiently.
Meanwhile, Lily was heartbroken and utterly disappointed. She had worked hard for the family for so many years, and in return, virtual-novel.net was shown no appreciation and was fired.
“Granny…” Lily could not help saying.
“Lilybud,” Granny stood up, supported by virtual-novel.net walking stick, “William’s right. Nobody was confident having you as the president of the company. Even though you didn’t do too badly and kept the company in good shape, you’re still a woman at the end of the day. You’re not suited to have such authority. Now that you no longer have the family shares leave and never come back to the Lyndon residence again.”
