Chapter 748: I Won’t Waste My Time
“Now that I’m suspended, they’ve achieved their goal,” she said quietly, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes, “so the theft of designs should be ended now. But I suggest you prepare for the worst.”
He was shocked and turned to look in the direction of the Vice President’s office. in disbelief. “Do you suspect it was both of them…”
He didn’t continue.
He had thought Helena’s and Mr. Lee’s attitudes were too weird, but he didn’t dare think too much. After all, one of them was a Vice President, and the other was a secretary to the President, and there was no reason for either of them to do anything harmful to the company.
Heather smiled and said nothing more. “When the President comes back, we’ll find out what happened.”
“But...” Mr. Watson’s face was full of hesitation as he asked, “will it be too late then?”
After all, if the incident were indeed what Heather said, then suspension would be just a stalling tactic. They would take this chance to fire Heather to end the incident.
Even if Alexander was back by then, would he fall out with a vice President for Heather since there was proof and the die is cast?
“You’ve got to have some faith in Alexander,” Heather said with a smile as if she had guessed what he was worried about. “He’s not the kind of person who can be easily fooled, and he won’t be afraid of trouble or stop getting to the bottom of the incident.”
Mr. Watson looked at Heather in shock... She could call Alexander’s name so naturally. Indeed their relationship was really not simple!
If so, he was really worrying too much. When Alexander came back, he would definitely give Heather justice.
At the thought of that, Mr. Watson didn’t persuade Heather anymore.
Since she had been suspended, Heather picked up her things and left H&C Inc.
As she walked out of the building, Heather heard someone calling her from behind.
“Heather Denmark!”
She looked back in disbelief. It was none other than Helena who stopped her.
“Are you going home by bus?” Helena smiled brightly as she shook her car keys. “You don’t have to be in such a hurry. I’ll buy you a cup of coffee. Let’s talk. Come on, get in my car.”
Heather’s lips twitched. Helena came to flaunt her victory so soon? Did this woman really think she would definitely win? “Alright,” Heather replied calmly. She wanted to see what Helena wanted to do.
Helena drove her red sports car and pulled up in front of Heather.
Heather opened the door. As soon as she got in, Helena said, “Isn’t my car great?”
“... Mm.” Heather was surprised that Helena suddenly talked about the car.
“The car isn’t worth much,” Helena said proudly, but her face was unruffled. “It costs over half a million. I’m going to change the car later.”
Then she peeped at Heather. A half-million plus car was enough for Heather, a recent graduate, to envy, wasn’t it? She wanted Heather to see clearly that she and Alexander shared the same world, and Heather couldn’t be with Alexander for their different statuses!
“... Oh,” Heather nodded coolly and said, “It’s cheap indeed. Just a common type.”
Helena was so angry that she almost spat blood! She had pretended to be modest, but how could Heather say that? With a hollow laugh, Helena said coldly, “I didn’t expect you to have a good knowledge of this car. What, are you going to buy one someday?”
“No...” Heather was confused. For some reason, she didn’t understand what Helena was trying to say.
“That’s right,” Helena said. “It’s a common car, but not everyone can afford it.”
“...” Heather was speechless. So Helena meant that she couldn’t afford it? Come on, it wasn’t that she couldn’t afford it. It was just that she didn’t want to buy. The car in her garage cost ten times as much as this one, okay? She didn’t drive her own car to work because she didn’t want to get special attention!
She was amused at Helena’s triumphant appearance but didn’t attempt to explain.
Helena took her to a nearby cafe and sat down in a quiet corner.
After ordering two cups of coffee, Helena. said with a serious face, “Heather, take the initiative to resign.”
Heather looked at her with a half-smile.
“It’s merely your first offense, so as long as you quit, I can help you find a good job. The wage will be higher than what you can get now,” Helena said haughtily.
“It wasn’t me who made a mistake. Why should I quit?” Heather looked at Helena with deep eyes.
“I’m really curious,” she said with a puzzled face. “Why are you targeting me and even wanting to kick me out of the company?”
“I don’t understand what you’re talking about!” Helena was angry and ashamed.
She took a deep breath and said, “Heather, you’re going to get kicked out of this company because you made the mistake of leaking the designs on purpose...”
Heather stared at her with a half-smile. “Helena, you should know better than I how those designs were leaked out, shouldn’t you?”
“How can I possibly know what you’ve done!” A touch of panic flashed across Helena’s face as she yelled, “Why do you ask me?”
Heather was bewildered. Why was Helena so evasive?
Then she found Helena seemed to be staring into her pocket all the time. Heather unconsciously reached into it and touched her phone.
She understood instantly.
She took out her phone and said, “So, you’re afraid I’ll secretly record your words as evidence?”
Helena’s expression kept changing.
Heather showed her the phone before she directly threw her phone on the desk.
She said calmly, “Don’t worry, I haven’t recorded your words, and I don’t need to.”
She could directly call Alexander to tell him if she wanted to. Could Alexander not believe her? It was troublesome to record.
“And I don’t have a recorder or a bug on me. Who would bring so many strange things to work?” Heather looked at Helena calmly and spoke, “So you can say whatever you want. You don’t have to hide it. If you aren’t willing to tell me, I won’t waste my time.”
Helena felt a pang of shame and anger. Heather looked so frank, which made her look like a shameless, base person.
“I just want you to know you don’t deserve the President! Stop dreaming! If you’re sensible, you should leave H & C Inc. as soon as possible!” Helena fumed.
