Chapter 202 One-Sided Love
“Lydia, you are shameless because you seduced me. You wanted me to help you move up in the company, so you pretended to be drunk and asked me to send you back to your room. Then you took off my clothes. You b*tch…”
Pinned to the floor by Jared, Zayne could only shout at the top of his lungs at Lydia.
Seeing this, Jared lifted his foot. Following that, Zayne leaped up immediately and rushed toward Lydia.
Viciously, he slapped Lydia hard across her cheeks.
Lydia covered her face with her hand and glared at Zayne. “Zayne, you are a f*cking sc*mbag. You told me that you only love me and are with Maria only because of her wealthy family. I didn’t expect you to have affairs with so many other women…”
Feeling extremely dissatisfied, Lydia then started to fight with Zayne.
In a short while, their clothes were torn, and Zayne’s face was covered with blood.
“Security guards, please remove these two from our premises…”
Wearily, Josephine looked at the ugly scene and called for security guards to take them away.
A few security guards rushed in, ready to take the two troublemakers away.
“Maria, I was wrong. I made a mistake. Please help me. Help me…”
Zayne did not want to leave, and he grabbed at Maria’s feet, unwilling to let go.
Maria looked at him in disgust and kicked him away with her foot.
Zayne tried to crawl back, but the security guards eventually dragged him away.
“Why… Why… I’m not giving up so easily…”
Zayne yelled, but no one felt sorry for him.
Both Zayne and Lydia were dragged away after being fired. Everyone else in the sales department was in suspense. After all, they had all mocked Jared before in order to curry favor with Zayne.
Jared glanced at everyone and said, “As of now, the company still lacks a general manager, so this position will be given to Maria. As for the position of sales manager, Hilda will be taking over. I hope you two can work hard and be assets to the company…”
At Jared’s words, the whole sales department applauded loudly.
Maria was taken by surprise. She had thought that even if Jared did not blame or punish her, he would not give her a position of importance. After all, her attitude toward him had not been pleasant from the start.
She could hardly believe that he would make her the general manager.
“Maria, quickly, thank Mr. Chance for this opportunity…”
Someone in the department prompted Maria.
Maria snapped out of her daze and turned to Jared. “Jared, no, I mean, Mr. Chance. Thank you. I promise to work hard!”
When Maria finished thanking him, she tugged at Hilda, who was next to her. “Hilda, quickly thank Mr. Chance…”
Without any expression on her face, Hilda looked at Jared. “Thank you, Mr. Chance…”
Looking at Hilda’s expression, Jared felt his heart sink. However, he knew that love was not something that could be forced.
“Everyone else’s positions remain as before. Go back to work now…”
Jared did not blame any of the staff, so they were all extremely relieved and grateful.
As everyone left, Jared looked at Hilda’s departing figure. He wanted to catch up with her and give some explanation. However, Josephine was nearby, so he did not.
“Go ahead. Sometimes, it’s good to make things clear. I’m leaving, too…”
At that, Josephine got up and left.
Jared caught up with Hilda and asked to speak with her.
“Hilda, the truth is that I’ve always treated you as a younger sister. I have never tried to mislead you. However, my parents have some misunderstandings toward Josephine, so I kept quiet about it…”
It wasn’t Jared’s intention to hide the truth.
“Jared, you don’t need to explain. It was a one-sided relationship from the start. You’re doing great now, and I’m still young. In the future, there’s sure to be someone more suitable to be my boyfriend…”
Having said that, Hilda tried her best to plaster a smile on her face.
“Yes, I’m sure you’ll find someone suitable for you!”
Jared nodded.
