Chapter 35

Olivia held her arm out to point at Curtis and Izzy. “Also, I want these two individuals to be sent to thepolice station after they have been fired!”

The crowd gasped in surprise after hearing Olivia’s words. There’re so many people who are going tobe fired! There were more than ten people who had offended Thomas earlier, and a few of thesepeople were core figures in the company. Is Olivia going to fire them just like that? When the crowdsaw Izzy and Curtis lying on the ground, they soon realized how some of them were about to be fired. Ifthe head of departments were fired this easily, regular staff members like them wouldn’t stand a chanceto save their jobs.

How is Thomas related to President Pearson? Why is President Pearson so protective of him? Thecrowd couldn’t help but wonder. Although Izzy, who was lying on the ground, was in a lot of pain, shewas still conscious and aware of what was going on. When she heard that Olivia wanted to fire her andthat she was about to be sent to the police, she immediately tried to defend herself. “You can’t do that,President Pearson! I’ve been working for the company for a very long time now, and I’ve alwaysremained professional and hardworking throughout the years. I’ve put so much effort into my work! Ican’t believe you’re treating me like this because of a driver who doesn’t even have a college degree! Iwon’t allow this to happen!”

Is she going against President Pearson’s decision? Izzy was the first person who ever had the guts todo that in the company, and this was the first time Olivia had ever encountered someone like Izzy.Olivia had no idea where Izzy found the courage to utter such words. “You won’t allow this?” Olivia’sbrows were tightly knitted together—she was clearly annoyed by what Izzy said. “The security footageclearly shows that Thomas didn’t steal the diamond necklace and that you were the one who hid it toframe him! How dare you say that you’re not happy with my decision? Fine! You can be as stubborn asyou want. You can explain yourself to the police! You’re the thief here! You’re falsely accusing aninnocent man!” Olivia shouted.

The crowd was stunned after hearing Olivia’s words. After all, Olivia was the only one who hadwatched the security footage earlier. So, Izzy was putting on an act all along…? This b*tch… Is shetrying to ruin all of our lives? She could’ve just left her job if she didn’t like it! Why did we speak up forher? Great—now all of us are going to be unemployed!

“President Pearson!” Thomas uttered all of a sudden.

“Yes?”

Thomas pointed at Molly, who was standing by one side. “She’s a great girl. She was the only one inthe crowd who spoke up for me earlier. I was wondering if… for the sake of me, could you provide herwith a better position in the company?” he asked. Molly was just as stunned as the rest of the crowd.This guy really thinks he’s something! President Pearson fired Izzy and Curtis because they were atfault. Is he requesting President Pearson to do things for his sake? He’s just a driver. Who does hethink he is? What a joke!

Someone in the crowd even chuckled out loud. Olivia took a long look at Molly. Molly had left animpression on her, and she remembered Molly as a young lady who was good at her job. Earlier, Oliviasaw Molly speaking up for Thomas when she was watching the security footage, and she recalledwatching the scene where Izzy slapped Molly. However, Olivia had been too focused on Izzy’s actions,so she was only reminded of what Molly did after she heard what Thomas said.

“How long have you been in the company?” Olivia asked.

“It has been three years!” Molly felt her heart pounding as she spoke. She was speaking to her idol, theone and only President Pearson!

Olivia nodded thoughtfully. “The company rule states that you have to work for a minimum of five yearsbefore you can get a promotion. It seems rather inappropriate to give you a promotion now, but… how

about this? I need a secretary now. If you don’t mind the job, why don’t you be my secretary? You’llreceive a monthly salary of 1,200. How does that sound?” Olivia asked.

“Well… I…” Molly was too emotional to speak at that moment. Initially, she assumed that she wasgoing to lose her job after offending two senior members of the company. However, it turned out thatshe had managed to keep her job after what Thomas said about her! This good news was shocking toher. Even though Olivia was offering her nothing more than a secretarial job, she would get to workdirectly with Olivia. In other words, all the other heads of departments would have to be on her goodside!

“Do you not want the job?” Olivia asked with a smile.

“No! No! I mean… I want the job!” Molly cried.

“That’s great!” Olivia turned to look at Frank. “Please help her with her job arrangements.”

“I got it, President Pearson!” Frank replied.

“I wonder if you’re pleased with this outcome, Thomas. If you don’t have any other issues, can youdrive me out now?” Olivia asked in a playful tone.

“Um…” Thomas rubbed his nose awkwardly as he nodded. Then, he reached his hand out to ruffleChloe’s hair. “Everything’s fine now. You can go back to work,” he said in a loving tone. “Okay! Drivesafe, Thomas!” Chloe uttered. Thomas beamed before he tagged along behind Olivia and walked outof the building. The whole crowd only processed all these interactions after Thomas and Olivia had left!

Molly just got a promotion after what a driver said?! I can’t believe Olivia actually complied with thedriver’s words! How could we have been dumb enough to offend the driver earlier? Were we trying todig our own graves?! Everything that just happened felt like a nonsensical dream. It shattered the

worldviews of all the company’s staff members. Curtis and Izzy were the unluckiest ones out of them all—they were sent directly to the police. Curtis was free from charges, but charges were definitely goingto be pressed against Izzy.

Izzy would’ve never expected herself to be the one who was sent to the station when she had beentrying to get Thomas into jail. Great. My entire future has just gone down the drain. I’m probably goingto be the joke of the century even if I get out of jail. I’m going to be the person I once thought Thomaswas… a loser! Karma really bit me in the back!

Thomas was kept busy for the rest of the day. He didn’t return to the company at all—he followed Oliviaaround as she worked. She finally allowed him to get off work at around 6.00PM. Thomas sent herhome before he drove off to the spot where he had agreed to meet Sean. Both Sean and William’sparents were extremely friendly people. In fact, they were overwhelmingly friendly to Thomas—theyhad ordered a tableful of dishes to fill Thomas up.

Before Sean and William met Thomas, they were typical rich brats who wasted their lives away bydoing nothing. That was how they ended up abroad—they went there to experience the life of beingdeadbeats. They had been unreliable and useless men until Thomas saved their lives. Thomas was theone who taught them how meaningful their lives were, and it was after that incident that they startedexposing themselves to their family business. They showed a 180-degree change in their attitudes, andthey turned into two of the most outstanding figures of their generation in their families. In other words,Thomas had single-handedly altered their life trajectories!

Both Sean and William’s parents held their glasses up to give Thomas a toast. Sean and William alsomade it a point to get Thomas to drink as much as they could. Fortunately for Thomas, he had a greattolerance for alcohol. Otherwise, he would’ve probably been knocked out halfway through dinner. Theyate and drank all the way past midnight before Thomas made his way back home.
