Gordon was convinced that he just needed to grease some hands and all of this would go away.Still, he exclaimed in feigned shock, "Please, no! This is really no big deal... You don't have to go thatfar, right?"

"Shut up.” Frank slapped him across the face, leaving him with bleeding lips.

Even as Gordon cursed him inwardly, Frank called Vicky's office number.

However, her secretary answered since she was not around, but her secretary knew the connectionbetween Vicky and Frank.

As soon as she heard Frank's voice, she greeted him respectfully. "Yes, Mr. Lawrence? How can Ihelp?"

"Who's the general manager of Grande Square?"

Debbie the secretary quickly checked. "It's Mr. Gordon Jameson."

"He's quite the pompous prick," Frank growled. "He actually sicked over twenty security guards atme—thank goodness I'm professionally trained. If it were a customer, they'd be killed withoutquestion.”

"What?!" Debbie exclaimed in surprise. "I'm so sorry for our oversight, Mr. Lawrence. I'm sendingsomeone over to handle this immediately.”

As soon as she hung up, she sent an executive who happened to be nearby, cursing Gordon forbeing such a troublemaker.

He was dead meat now!

As Frank put away his phone, Linus Huxley, the human resource executive of Grande Corp, arrivedsoon enough.

He was the one who recruited most of Grande Pharma's backbone staff and was personallyacquainted with Frank, making him the best person to deal with this.

Still, as soon as Gordon saw Linus, he scrambled toward him and hugged his leg, howling,"I'm sosorry, Mr. Huxley. Please give me a chance..."

They went way back and often hung out together—right now, Gordon just had to pretend toapologize, and Linus would take him away. After that, he would be released without issue, and theboard would be none the wiser.

Linus was frowning at Gordon in turn—this was a routine they had done many times, but this wasone occasion where he could not do a thing.

"That's enough. Just shut up already,” he snapped

"Oh, okay..." Gordon was actually surprised—Linus' acting had definitely improved

At the same time, Linus hurried to Frank's side. "I'm so sorry you had to encounter something sounpleasant, Mr. Lawrence. Grande Corp shall deal with this appropriately.”

Frank nodded. "How so?"

"Per company rules, Gordon Jameson will be fined and fired,” Linus quickly said. "His actions shall bedenounced and he will be made an example for the rest.”

Frank was actually satisfied. "And when will said actions be taken?"

"Right now."

"Then what are you waiting for? Go on.”

Linus whipped out the severance agreement prepared before he came and told Gordon solemnly,"Gordon Jameson. Grande Corp has decided to dismiss you for your actions today. And shares ofthe company you had have been seized, and you will be fined per the amount stated in thisagreement. Please review it."

"What...?" Gordon thought that Linus was still acting and was left dumbfounded after reading theagreement. "What's this? Are you really firing me?"

Linus glared at him and snapped, "What, did you think I was lying?"

Gordon panicked when he realized the other man was dead serious. "No... No! You can't fire me! I'mthe general manager of Grande Square!"
