Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family
“Mister, it’s our last breath……” “Could you just kick us a few times and be done with it?”
“Is that okay? Can I beat myself up?”
The bodyguards didn’t bother talking to them, they just gave them a thorough beating. Screams echoed from the wasteland…
The other side, Molly arrived at the company just after three in the afternoon.
When Oscar saw her just returning to her post during his inspection, he frowned in dissatisfaction.
“Molly!” Oscar scolded loudly. “What time do you think it is? Do you think this company is your home, come and go as you please? Do you respect the company’s regulations?”
Everyone turned their attention to Molly, worried for her.
Molly lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong. “Good afternoon. I took time off with Ms. Bennett’s approval. I’ll get my work done as soon as possible. I haven’t wasted a second.”
“Ms. Bennett?” Oscar sneered coldly. “You’re going straight to Ms. Bennett now? Does Ms. Bennett have a lot of free time? Does she need to approve a leave personally?”
“No…Ms. Bennett is actually very busy. I was the one bothering her.”
In Molly’s eyes, Ms. Bennett was always working hard and focusing on her job.
This was completely different from when Oscar often left the company to hang out.
“Today, I’m gonna dock your pay!” Oscar shot her a sidelong glance. “What are you still doing standing around? Get back to work!”
“But Ms. Bennett said I’m on personal leave today…” Molly mumbled in her defense.
“So now you’re using Ms. Bennett against me? What, you think I’m scared of her?”
Oscar paced around, looking at the girl in front of him, then at the entire department of employees who were defying him. It made him furious!
“When I started managing this company, she was probably still in high school!”
“I’ve been setting an example here for a year, and you guys chose to pick up her bad habits!”
“So you all want to go against me?”
“I could fire all of you, believe it or not?”
Most of the employees lowered their heads, not daring to speak.
“Ms. Bennett is a good person…” Molly couldn’t help but defend Mirabella.
She was only eighteen, yet capable of running a company, a highly talented designer, always coming up with new ideas and creative concepts to elevate the design work.
Also, she was a great leader, caring about her employees, helping them solve problems…
Where else could you find such a boss?
“Do you think you’re untouchable because you’re under her protection? You’ve learned how to sow discord, huh? Let me tell you, I’m docking your pay today, got it? If you disagree, you can quit!”
After delivering his rant, Oscar took two steps before a small rock came flying and struck his knee…
He was taken aback by the sudden pain, stumbling forward, and hitting his chin on a flower pot, immediately drawing blood.
“Are you okay…”
Before thé employees could figure out what happened, Oscar was already on the ground, in too much pain to get up.
Molly was stunned, unsure why Oscar had fallen. Was it a balance issue? Or was it due to old age?
“Mr. Oscar, there’s no need for you to kneel for me.”
Suddenly, a cool voice rang out.
Everyone turned to the source of the voice. It was Mirabella!
Molly’s eyes lit up at the sight of Mirabella, like she was her savior, she was overjoyed!
Mirabella stood there, her aura powerful, her gaze cool as she looked at Oscar on the ground, “The leave was approved by me, do I need your consent to do my job?” Oscar clutched his chin, too much in pain to speak.
A few employees rushed over to help him up.”
Oscar stared at Mirabella, wanting to say something, but the pain in his chin made it impossible.
He pointed at Mirabella, unable to bear the pain, and left.
“I think he might need stitches…” Molly watched Oscar retreating back.
“Yes.”
“Ms. Bennett, thank you for helping me just now, and about the house…” Molly expressed her gratitude.
Mirabella cut her off, softly saying, “Just focus on your work.”
“Yes!”
On the other side.
Demetrius was busy on the phone, and Olga was also swamped with congratulatory messages from friends.
“Olga, you and Demetrius are too modest. Yoli won the second place in the national piano competition, why didn’t you share this great news with us?”
“The official Facebook page announced it, Yoli is the second best in the country, Serena got first!”
“Yoli is so talented, so bright at such a young age, she’s got a great future ahead!”
“I saw on the official Facebook that the awards ceremony will be held at the Paramount Theatre in three days, that’s the dream venue for all artists! Yoli can enter as an award winner at such a young age, she’s got a bright future!”
“I heard that the award presenters are big shots in the industry! It’s a huge honor to receive the trophy from them!”
It’s been half a month since Yolanda received the competition results, and the official Facebook page just announced it today.
Olga didn’t expect so many congratulations and was very pleased.
Demetrius was even more delighted, telling the person on the phone, “Your daughter’s violin skills are also exceptional, Yoli just got lucky…”
As soon as he ended one call, another came in.
“You saw Yoli’s ranking? It was just a small competition…”
Another call came in, Demetrius happily answered, “Thank you, thanks for your recognition, Yoli has been interested in piano since she was little, we didn’t have to push her…”
The Melton’s haven’t seen such a hustle and bustle in a long time, even the neighbors started dropping by with gifts.
Before long, the maid rushed in reporting, “Fiona from next door is here!”
Fiona?
Her family was quite distinguished…
“Let her in.” Olga tidied herself up a little, even put on some expensive jewelry, “Fiona, why did you bring so many gifts?”
Fiona, a well–to–do woman, had a servant carrying gifts for her, her smile was graceful, her eyes kindly.,
Olga’s eyes lit up at the sight of the gifts, “You are too kind, why did you bring so many bottles of expensive wine?”
At least six or seven bottles, and some fancy cigars…
“This is too much, I can’t accept…” Olga pretended to decline.
“Don’t be so formal with me, we’re neighbors.” Fiona revealed a gracious smile, and gently said, “I heard Yoli got second place in the piano competition, I came over specially to congratulate, she’s so young and promising.”
“Thank you very much, really appreciate your praise.” Olga glanced at the maid, “What are you waiting for? Fiona’s kindness, of course we should accept…”
She seemed afraid that Fiona might suddenly change her mind…
Although Fiona thought her behavior was a bit inappropriate, she still maintained her gracious smile, “Where’s Yoli?“.
“She went out on a date with her boyfriend this morning…” Olga said with a smile, “What are you standing there for, go make a cup of coffee for Fiona? The good stuff! Hurry up!”
“Alright.” The maid left immediately.
