Escort? President!

Chapter 15: Fired

She tried to squeeze out a smile, trying to keep her mood from being affected by her family. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

They were not her families any longer. Back then, her mother stood beside her father in everything.

She was the woman who accompanied Stanley James in the most difficult times.

But what happened after that?

Who could have thought that Stanley had been out and sowing his wild oats?

In the end, his wife was forced to leave after divorce, but in the blink of an eye he married that mistress

and brought her home…

That kind of irresponsible, ungrateful man, Felicity did not expect anything good from him.

Felicity felt really aggrieved for her mother.

She tried to suppress her sadness, cleaned up briefly, and went out to work.

…

When she got to the office, everything went as usual.

No matter how many emotional twists and turns Felicity had to experience in the morning, she still had

to face all her work with a positive attitude.

She must be responsible and work harder to give her mother a better life.

She was not going to allow her father and stepmother to humiliate them again and again…

Felicity was quite talented and qualified. Even though she was promoted to a full-time employee before

her internship ended, her ability to work was no less than that of experienced employees.

George Green was very satisfied with his decision of giving her a full-time job.

He felt lucky to have found such a good employee without even looking.

But who knew this was going to end this way? When he came into the office, the secretary told him bad

news.

"Mr. Green, the higher ups want you to fire Miss Felicity James." said the secretary.

"What? Why? "

George felt confused. What does Felicity James’s job here have to do with anything?

It was unreasonable to fire someone who had just become a full-time employee.

Even if someone must be fired, there should be a proper reason for it.

"Well, they didn’t specify but it seems to be connected to the Branson Group. He said that this is the

President’s son’s wish, so you should quickly handle it."

The secretary could only inform what was told about the matter, but the specific reason for dismissal of

Felicity James was not clear.

"But..." George hesitated.

"Besides, is there an overseas product director in our company? According to the orders, that man

must be fired too…”

And the order of dismissal of these two people was not for work reasons, but to please the Branson

Group’s owner.

It was not worthy enough to offend the owner of Branson Group just to save two employees.

Just firing Felicity was fine for George. But hearing that he had to fire Jason Reed together with her,

George was shocked.

No matter what’s worth what, offending Jason Reed was really not worth it.

"Okay. You can leave. I'll take care of it myself."

George knew that the secretary did not understand anything, so he let her go first.

Others may not know who the overseas product director was, but he knew!

It was Jason Reed, the president of the Reed Group. For now, he had lowered his status to take an

identity at FR Group, but he was still the president of a huge company. Who dared to fire him?

What the hell was this situation?!

George calmed himself down for a while and then ordered someone to call Felicity in his office. He

needed to understand the whole situation first.

Of course, the Branson Group was not easy to provoke, but Jason Reed was the one he couldn't afford

to offend even if his life was on the line.

…

After a while, Felicity came to the president’s office.

"Hello, Mr. Green!"

Felicity respectfully greeted him from the door.

"Yes, Miss James, I asked for your presence today to ask you some questions. No need to be

nervous..."

George saw that Felicity looked a little embarrassed, so he tried to relax her.

"Okay."

Felicity nodded and entered the office, but she was a little nervous.

"Do you know the son of the Branson Group’s owner?" George asked her.

"I don't think so."

Felicity thought for a few seconds, with apparent confusion on her face. She did not know such a

person.

"Really? You don’t know?"

George asked again.

If she doesn’t know him, then why did they make such a request?

Right then, Lucas Branson crossed Felicity’s mind. Could it be him?

So, she tentatively asked, "I know a person whose surname is Branson, Lucas Branson. Could it be

him?"

Hearing the name, George quickly nodded, "Yes! That's him! He is your classmate? "

"Yes, he is in my university. What's the matter?"

Felicity was a little confused about the situation.

"Look! I'll tell you directly. Today, the superiors ordered me to fire you and Jason Reed from the

company. Can you tell me what's going on? If there is any problem, it's better for you three to negotiate

it in private."

Every time George mentioned Jason Reed, he couldn't help but stutter, trying his best to keep his real

identity a secret.

After all, it was not a name he could say easily without proper respect.

"Fire us?"

Hearing this, Felicity was stunned in her place.

"Yes, fire you. Miss James, you are a good employee, I'm not sure what happened between you and…"

George knew that both Branson Group and Reed group could not be messed with.

In such a situation, if both parties involved could solve it between them, then FR Group won’t have to

suffer any losses.

Therefore, he explained this to Felicity without any evasiveness.

"This way, we can take care of it and solve it without anyone losing."

Listening to him, Felicity thought of the threats Lucas made.

She previously thought he was just being childish; she didn't expect that Lucas was such a big asshole

to actually do such a thing.

But he could have just aimed his anger at her. Why did he involve Jason in this?

It would have been fine if she was fired alone, but Felicity could never harm Jason.

"Well." George nodded his head. He couldn't fire them like that.

Therefore, Felicity asked for a leave for the rest of the day and went directly to JC University in the

afternoon.

…

Since Lucas was rejected after his grand confession in front of a crowd, the news had spread far and it

was the gossip of the year in the campus.

That morning, as he walked around the campus, he could feel people stare at him with strange

expressions.

However, they did not dare to gossip about him openly, so they quietly talked behind his back.

To the extent that a private chat was made among the students just to gossip about that incident. Of

course, everyone enjoyed gossip more than anything else, and this was particularly juicy as it was

about the historic rejection of Lucas the Handsome.

"Why does Lucas look so dark and dull today?"

"The roses he gave to Felicity yesterday were directly crushed by her boyfriend right in front of him.

Hah! Everyone is talking about it!"

"Oh My God! How did I miss such a spectacular scene?"

"Yeah, you really missed the biggest drama this year so far. Let me tell you, Felicity’s boyfriend is so

handsome that everyone lost their minds, men and women alike!"

"Hey! Isn’t that Felicity James walking towards our classroom?"

Hearing that, many people looked out into the corridor.
