“I’ve liked her for over ten years.”
“…” Johnny was momentarily stunned by his sudden confession and couldn’t respond.
Ulric didn’t offer any further explanation and simply drove away from the hospital.
Johnny, left behind, smacked his lips and could only sigh after thinking it over.
Feelings are truly unpredictable.
…
At Tilda’s house, Rosalind listened to her constant chatter but didn’t retain any of it.
Her mind was in disarray, leaving her in a state of agitation.
“Are you even listening to me?” Tilda nudged her with an elbow.
Rosalind snapped back to reality. “Huh? Yes, I am…”
“Actually, this issue has already caused quite a stir in the company. I think you shouldn’t miss this wave of attention. Otherwise, for small employees like us, it’s not easy to bring down someone as powerful as Sirena! If you ask me, you should put all the existing evidence online. Even if it doesn’t directly prove anything, it can at least confuse the public.”
“No, Sirena is a lawyer. She’s best at finding others’ loopholes to counterattack.”
In this regard, Rosalind had to admit she was at a disadvantage. Competing with a lawyer on this front was a losing battle.
“So, should we wait for the company to investigate?” Tilda wasn’t distrustful of the company, but anyone would prioritize keeping Sirena, the chief lawyer.
Who would care about Rosalind’s grievances then?
“Let’s wait.” She furrowed her delicate brows. “Someone said he would clear my name fairly and justly.”
“Who?”
“I’m tired. I’m going to wash up and sleep.”
Rosalind didn’t answer and just got up to head to the bathroom.
She used to firmly believe that Ulric liked Sirena, so she was uneasy about letting him handle this matter. On one hand, she feared the pressure on him as the company’s president, on the other hand, she feared his personal feelings.
But now things were different.
Rosalind decided to trust him this time.
There wasn’t any special reason, if she had to say, it might be Ulric’s gaze.
So gentle, so reliable.
It made her feel that after all these years, it was time to learn to trust someone rather than charging ahead on her own in everything.
After washing up, Rosalind lay down and picked up her phone to check WeChat.
There were no messages from Ulric.
He must be busy…
The issues in Fragrant Harbor hadn’t been resolved yet, and on top of that, W Group’s daily workload was overwhelming. Being the president wasn’t easy. Since he had promised to investigate this matter thoroughly, she should give him some time.
Putting herself in his shoes, Ulric, as the executive president of the group, was already under considerable pressure to treat both her and Sirena fairly.
As she was lost in thought while looking at her phone, Tilda suddenly knocked on the door.
The knocking startled her heart for no reason.
“Are you asleep?”
“Not yet.” Rosalind got up, adjusted her nightgown, and walked over to open the door. “What’s wrong?”
“Check the company’s official website quickly! The chairman of W Group has also paid attention to your and Sirena’s matter and has responded!”
The chairman of W Group?
Isn’t that Ulric’s father?
Rosalind hurriedly turned around and opened her computer. As soon as she entered the official website page, she saw a glaring announcement.
[Recently, our W Group experienced an incident where core technical materials of a partner company were leaked, severely impacting the company’s image. The board of directors takes this matter very seriously. After investigation, it has been confirmed that our employee Rosalind was involved in misconduct. It has been decided to dismiss her and reserve the right to take legal action.]
