Chapter 45: Why Was Her Fate So Shitty?
Chapter 45: Why Was Her Fate So Shitty?
The next day, Amanda met George in a coffee shop.
George came thinking it was just a business meeting for a cooperation proposal, so he just went there
without giving it much thought. However, seeing Amanda sitting in the coffee shop, he hesitated a bit.
He knew that the client was a woman, but the woman sitting in front of him had such shining aura and
noble manners that he was stunned and couldn’t step forward easily.
"Hello, Mr. Green. I'm the client who asked you here to talk business." However, Amanda recognized
George and took the initiative to greet him.
"Hello! Hello! How may I address you as?"
George didn't dare to verify her identity. Since she took initiative in speaking, he just politely inquired
her name.
"I'm Amanda Sullivan, from the Sullivan family." Amanda smiled generously and introduced her
extraordinary identity in a casual way.
Hearing that she was from the Sullivan family, George's attitude towards her became more modest and
kinder, "Oh! It’s a pleasure to meet you Miss Sullivan.”
"I am also Jason Reed's fiancée. I just returned from studying abroad. I founded the clothing brand
“Links”, business has just started; there are a lot of orders. I heard your company is also in the clothes
making business so I wanted to know more about it. " Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
Amanda added the details about herself, almost as if exerting a lot of pressure on George and trying to
imply that she was not someone to provoke.
George didn't dare to neglect her. As soon as he heard that she was engaged to Jason Reed, he was
even more respectful towards her, "You heard right. FR Group is a giant in the design industry in JC
City, and we have many well-known designers. Riley Kim is also among them..."
"It sounds great." Amanda smiled.
Just as George was about to continue introducing his company, Amanda suddenly interrupted him and
mentioned Jason, "Recently, my fiancé seems to be very close to an intern in your company. How
could that be?"
Amanda sounded slightly distressed, which made George's heart suddenly collapse in fear.
"I'll see what happened at once." George said modestly, not daring to let her take offence.
At the same time, he also understood her intention behind mentioning it. Cooperation meeting, in fact,
was just an excuse to meet him; the real purpose of Amanda was just to put pressure on him and to
make him dismiss Felicity.
It was just that it wasn’t justified. Although the Sullivan family had a strong position, he was still not sure
if Amanda was really Jason's fiancée…
Besides, Jason seemed to favor Felicity, which was also something that George couldn’t overlook. If he
dismissed her rashly, he was afraid that he would end up offending Jason.
But if he didn't do anything, he would be offending the Sullivan family.
George thought himself really unlucky. He got involved in the emotional whirlpool of such a powerful
family for no reason. All he could so was to stabilize the situation first and then make plans for the next
step.
…
In the afternoon, Felicity came to work normally, but Riley told her that George wanted her to speed up
the design.
Felicity felt a little confused; she was a full week ahead of schedule… But George held on to his point
saying that the client was in a hurry, even if it was to look at the sample.
She had to sort out the existing designs and send samples to George.
After a little time, Felicity was called to his office.
Yesterday, Felicity had also worked overtime at home. Even if the design was not finished, she thought
she was working ahead of the schedule and had a good idea. So, when she entered George’s office,
she felt more confident than usual.
However, the atmosphere inside the office was cold and unfamiliar. George sat with his face stiff and
expressionless.
Felicity frowned slightly. She couldn’t help but feel a little nervous. She said tentatively, "Mr. Green?"
"How dare you come up with such a design?" George was particularly angry, as he scolded her fiercely.
Felicity was so frightened at his screaming that, somewhat caught off guard, she was stunned in her
spot.
"You are done this time. The client was extremely dissatisfied. We lost a huge order. When I gave you
this project, was I expecting too much from you?" George was full of disappointment.
"Mr. Green, I'm sorry." Felicity, who did not expect that it would turn out like this, could only apologize.
"I'm sorry? Do you have anything more useless than that to say? At your current level, I really don't
know how long it will take for you to get started on a job properly. I even arranged Riley Kim for you.
You are so… so disappointing."
George let out a long sigh as if disappointed in her.
Felicity bit her lip, feeling aggrieved. Why did life always kick her where it hurt?
All this with what Amanda said yesterday, Felicity suddenly felt overwhelmed. She felt like she couldn’t
take it anymore and wanted to escape…
"I'm sorry to disappoint you. Because of my mistake the company head to suffer such a huge loss. I
would take responsibility and resign."
Maybe this really wasn’t her cup of tea. She really did her best yesterday. But even then, the result was
this. Felicity fell into a deep hole of self-doubt.
George was taken aback for a moment; he did not expect that she would take the initiative to resign.
He squinted at her and asked, "Would you be willing to consider it?"
"Yes, thank you for all you did for me Mr. Green. I am sorry to let you down. I'm sorry..."
Felicity bowed deeply and apologized to George; her eyes looked wet with tears.
When George saw this, he trembled slightly, his heart couldn’t bear to do that to her so coldly, "If that is
your decision then, I will compensate you for half a year's salary, go to the finance department and
settle your account."
He felt bad for doing this to her, but his hands were tied too. All he could do was let her resign and
compensate her to make himself feel better.
Felicity was at a loss. After settling her account, she went back to her office in a daze and quietly
arranged the items on her desk.
"There you are, Felicity! Have you sorted out all the design materials?" Riley walked towards her to
look at her designs.
"I'm sorry, Sir. I have just quit my job and can't be your apprentice anymore. Thank you for taking care
of me for so many days..."
Felicity thanked him sincerely, and then quietly picked up her personal belongings.
Riley was a little shocked, but he didn’t say anything; he just lightly patted Felicity's shoulder and then
left.
After handling the resignation procedure, Felicity left the company. After she left, George immediately
called Amanda.
Amanda was naturally very satisfied with George's quick mindedness and efficiency, and immediately
agreed to cooperate with FR Group.
George breathed a sigh of relief after finally settling the matter.
…
Felicity was in a trance walking out of the company; she didn't know where to go. Yesterday, she vowed
to work hard, but today she ended up losing her job. Why was her fate so shitty?
After returning home, Felicity slumped stupidly on the sofa and stared at the ceiling for a long time…
In any case, life had to go on and she still needed to find a job. However, after what happened, she
was confused. Maybe she was not cut out to be a designer…
