Sweet Divorce
Chapter 181 You Want To Fire Me

In the lounge.

"Miss Rita, Mr. Spencer is in your office. He wants to see you." A girl rushed in.

Thomas almost choked himself when he heard the name, his face a ugly green.

Rita was confused when she took note of his reaction.

Who is Mr. Spencer?

Someone heavyweight? Why is Thomas so freaked out to hear his name?

She showed no emotion on the outside despite the confusion.

"Noted, I'll be right there." She put down the chopsticks and got to her feet.

However, Thomas grabbed her wrist. "Don't go."

His tone and expression made Rita wonder.

"Why?"

"Because..."

Thomas took a deep breath before he told Rita how Euan molested male staff and the relation between Euan and Mr. Spencer.

"She must be holding grudge against you now that you thwarted her plan to affront me. I bet she asked this Mr. Spencer to revenge you, she wants to fire you." He used this trick on the last manager too.

"That's what this is about..." Now Rita understood why Thomas was in such a stew.

Thomas thought that Rita might fear Mr. Spencer after hearing him out, so he suggested. "Don't want, that's what Euan exactly wants from you. Just say that you're sick." Rita did not approve his suggestion though. "I gotta face this sooner or later.

At once, Lillian and Thomas went silent.

If someone really wants to prey on you, it's almost impossible to escape.

Euan was hell-bent on purging Rita out of the company.

Guilt was in Thomas's eyes when he realized that. "I'm sorry, I brought this trouble to you."

"Don't blame yourself, I jumped in this swirl myself." Rita smiled cunningly. "And, maybe it won't be me who'll be fired."

Thomas was confused.

He didn't know why she said she jumped in herself, and less did he know why Rita was so confident.

But she was a ray of sunshine breaking through the dark, bringing people hope and security.

Lillian, however, knew all the answers to Thomas's questions.

Even the Brown Group belonged to Rita's family, let alone this subsidiary.

With Charlotte being in jail, Rita became they only heir to the Brown.

So, who dared to mess with the future CEO?

He who dared fur sure was asking for death.

And it's not just the fury of the Brown he's going to face, but also Liam's.

Few had the guts to confront Liam. And most would shit themselves if Liam came to punish them himself.

Such thoughts relieved Lillian, she clapped at her own chest and announced. "Go, Rita. I support you mentally, just stand up to them."

"... You have my support too. If you're leaving, I'm leaving too." Thomas proclaimed.

Rita glanced at Thomas and smiled. "We won't be the ones leaving, I promise you that."

In the office, Euan sat on Bruno's laps. She snorted after taking a glance at the watch on her wrist. "Look how long it has been? And that bitch still doesn't show up. She takes you for nothing, Bruno, I'm telling you."

Bruno had lost his patience over the wait. He became agitated. "Disrespectful! Arrogant! What, I have to go down to the lounge to see her myself?"

A hint of guile flashed in Euan's eyes when she saw how pissed Bruno was.

That's what she wanted.

The angrier Bruno was, the more likely Rita would get fire.

A knocking intruded on their talk.

"It's her." Euan clambered down Bruno's laps at the sound.

But Bruno wouldn't let her go. He said harshly. "What are you afraid of? She's just some petty employee. What can she do if she replace out about us? Sit. I'm here to back you up today."

That boosted Euan's confidence.

And she sat back down on Bruno's laps as he said.

When the knocking came through the door again, Bruno said coldly. "Come in."

Rita entered at the permission.

And the first thing she saw was the complacency on Euan's face.

She ignored it, and moved her eyes on the man beside Euan.

When she saw the man's face, she frowned. "Uncle?"

"I wonder how a manager can be so arrogant, I..." Bruno said mockingly as he raised his head o study the comer. When he saw Rita's face, he froze. "Ri... Rita?"

"How come you know her name?" Euan was confused, she never mention Rita's name to Bruno.

It's not a secret that Bruno was having an affair, but this was the first time he got caught by a niece.

He shoved Euan off his leg. After all, he had to remain some decency in front of his niece.

Rita eyed them indifferently. She walked up, pulled a chair and sat down.

Her eyes laid on that green face of Bruno's, she smiled amiably. "You want to see me, Mr. Spencer? What is the matter?

"You, you are the new manager?"Bruno looked back at Rita in disbelief.

Rita used put all her heart into Liam, neglecting her study. Small wonder that Bruno was surprise to replace out that Rita was the new manager.

Who would've thought that a maiden in distress waiting for her hero would one day do some wonder and retain a talent for the Brown Group? However, Bruno felt more shocked than surprised.

Nah....embarrassed.

The new manager Euan asked him to fire was the future CEO of the Brown Group.

How could he do that?

He'd be grateful if Rita didn't fire him after today.

Bruno swallowed down some saliva nervously. When he opened his mouth to talk, Euan poked at him. "Honey?"

"Why don't you say anything? Fire her!" Bruno didn't replied her, so she added.

She said it in a low voice, but still, Rita caught it.

And she made out every word clearly.

For an instant, She burst in laughter. "What? You want to fire me, Mr. Spencer?"

"Right." Euan preceded Bruno to talk.

But she did not notice how green the face of the man sitting next to her was. Bruno poked her, hoping that she would utter no more sound.

But Euan just rolled her eyes at Bruno. "What are you afraid of, Bruno? You're a share holder, and she's just a petty manager. Just fire her, you have nothing to worry about?"

Bruno twitched his mouth. Have you lost your mind? You're asking me to fir the future CEO, and you tell me there's nothing to worry about?

He got plenty to worry about.

Rita didn't like the tone of Euan's, she scowled.

Then she looked at Bruno again, smiling amiably, "You really want to fire me? Uncle?"

"Right! You're fire!...Un...uncle?" all of a sudden,the cockiness in her tone vanished when Euan heard Rita call Bruno uncle. She stuttered.

She glanced over Rita, and then gave Bruno an inquiry look. "She, she just called you uncle?"

Bruno didn't reply her, but the embarrassment on his face told everything.

That was a bolt from the blue. Shocked, Euan froze at where she stood.

Rita called Bruno uncle.

Then wasn't she the granddaughter of Bruno's sister?

And Bruno's sister... was the CEO of the Brown Group.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
