Morphy paused. “You’re that saucy girl?”
“Rosiley is resting. Why are you looking for her?”
Her voice was still cold and without a single hint of warmth.
“Saucy girl, are you still mad?”
There was subtle laughter in his voice.
The other end of the line went silent. Morphy thought that she had hung up and quickly lowered his phone to check. The call was still ongoing.
He placed the phone back to his ear and called out gently, “Saucy girl?”
“Cousin Morphy, who are you calling a saucy girl?”
The voice at the other end of the line changed so suddenly that Morphy got a scare and almost threw his phone.
“You didn’t even tell me you passed the phone to her, what a bad saucy girl,” he muttered.
Rosiley did not hear clearly. “Cousin Morphy, what are you saying? What saucy girl?”
“N-nothing.” Morphy raised his hand to wipe away his non-existent sweat. Then, he quickly changed the topic. “sister-in-law, how are you now?”
“Just a burn.”
“Is it serious?”
“No, it’s only mild. It’ll be fine after I apply medication and let it rest for a couple of days.”
“Will it leave a scar then?”
“The doctor said it wouldn’t.”
Hearing that it would not leave a scar, Morphy heaved a long sigh of relief. “That’s good, that’s good.”
“Why does it feel like you’re very worried?”
“Haha, I’m worried that my brother will hold me accountable.”
Morphy let out a dry laugh.
Now that he had put his sister-in-law in such danger at the company, he had to watch himself. If it were to leave a scar, he was afraid he would be skinned alive.
Judging by how much his brother cared for his sister-in-law, there was definitely the possibility of him being skinned alive.
Rosiley gave a low chuckle. “Don’t worry, I will protect you.”
“sister-in-law…” Morphy was very touched.
“Good boy.” Rosiley’s voice was very relaxed and joyous. Then, she changed the topic. “How did you deal with Lonny?”
Once the serious matter was mentioned, Morphy fixed his expression and told her about Lonny’s situation.
“Luckily you didn’t fire her.”
Hearing the relief in her voice, Morphy knew that he had made the right decision. He quickly asked for praise. “sister-in-law, because of you, I thought a lot about it and eventually didn’t fire her.”
“Oh? Enlighten me.”
Morphy felt the adrenaline. “sister-in-law, if I want to fire Lonny, as long as I say it myself, it will just take a few minutes to be done. But this is unfair to you.”
“How is it unfair?”
“sister-in-law, think about it. Firing her is actually the most advantageous for her. After leaving us, she could just find another company and work her way up successfully. So, why don’t we keep her here and remove her from her position? That way, you’ll be able to play around with her for a while.”
“Hum, that makes sense.”
Actually, his thoughts were pretty much aligned with hers. She also felt that firing her would be too advantageous for her. How could they let such a scheming person go so easily?
“sister-in-law, you should rest for a few days before coming back to work. I’ll help you deal with Lonny properly.”
“I’ll have to trouble you then.”
“You’re welcome, you’re welcome.”
“Then do you still want to talk to the saucy girl?”
“Boom!”
Something dropped. Morphy accidentally swept the book on his desk to the floor.
“Thud!” Someone banged into the door. It was Yayoi. She was on her way to help Rosiley refill her cup, and when she walked past the door and heard “saucy girl”, she lost her focus and banged into the door frame.
Rosiley pursed her lips and a meaningful smile spread across her face.
