Chapter 77
“I’m Jeremy Ross, the security guard. You’ve seen me before, and I often help park your car.”
Tyler sifted through his memories and recalled a tall, skinny security guard. “Why are you calling me?”
Jeremy flashed an ingratiating smile. “We’ve known each other for so long–we’re practically old pals. I hate seeing my friend being mistreated. The new chauffeur lied earlier, Ms. Carter didn’t arrange for a chauffeur.”
Tyler was taken aback. “How do you know?”
Jeremy explained, “After you left, the new chauffeur said it himself. I overheard it.”
Tyler was fuming but managed to hold back his anger. “Thanks for telling me. If anyone at the company ever messes with you, let me know. I’ve got your back.”
Hearing that, Jeremy was thrilled. “Thanks a lot, Mr. Hill.”
After ending the phone call, Tyler stormed toward the staff room.
As a sales manager, Tyler looked down on security guards, cleaners, chauffeurs, and the like. He often yelled at them.
He couldn’t believe a lowly chauffeur like Matthew dared to trick him. It was too absurd! He wouldn’t be at peace until Matthew lost his job.
On his way back to the staff room, Tyler informed Jared of the matter.
Jared was just as infuriated when he realized he had been fooled. He stopped what he was doing and rushed to the staff room as well.
Meanwhile, Matthew chatted with Zachary, glancing at the time every now and then. School would end at 5:00 pm, so he had to be there by 4:50 pm. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
Just then, the door was kicked open with a loud bang.
Tyler stormed into the staff room and pointed at Matthew, yelling, “Matthew Grant! Ms. Carter wasn’t planning to go anywhere and didn’t request a chauffeur. How dare you lie to me?”
Zachary didn’t expect Matthew to be caught so quickly. He hurriedly stood up and soothed Tyler, “He’s new here and doesn’t know any better, Mr. Hill. I’ll make him apologize to you. Don’t be upset.”
Tyler coldly grunted. “Get out of my way. A pathetic security guard has no say in this. Know your place.”
Zachary’s expression turned grim from the scolding. He was too embarrassed to say anything in return.
Matthew stood up and said, “Don’t lash out at him. I didn’t want to drive you, so come at me instead.”
Tyler sneered. “I’m here to deal with you. You’re merely a lowly chauffeur making 4000 dollars a month. How dare you challenge me?
“You’re courting trouble. Just wait, I’ll make sure you lose this job!”
Hearing that, Matthew’s anger flared up. He applied for the position of chauffeur to get closer to Rachel, but Tyler had gone overboard with his words. He retorted, “Let’s see how you’ll make that happen.”
Zachary signaled Matthew with warning glances, urging him to back down if he wanted to keep his job. Unfortunately,
Matthew didn’t seem to notice.
Tyler glared at Matthew and arrogantly said, “As the sales manager, I can easily fire a lowly chauffeur. You’ll regret this. I’ll have you out of here in no time!”
After Tyler finished speaking, a woman’s voice came from the door. “Who are you firing?”
Those simple words captured everyone’s attention. Everyone in the staff room looked over and saw it was Rachel, the president of the company. The security guards and cleaners present stood up right away.
Seeing that Rachel was here, Zachary knew things were about to get serious. Matthew was definitely going to lose his Job, so he couldn’t help Int sigh
Tyler visibly freaked out when Hachel showed up, Soon, however, he recomposed himself and pointed at Matthew.” Matthew lies about you needing a ride and slacked off. Don’t you think he should be fired, Ms. Carter?”
With a calm expression, Matthew sat there, seemingly indifferent about Rachel’s arrival.
The staff members shook their heads after witnessing Matthew’s attitude..
Rachel was here, but Matthew still wouldn’t take the matter seriously. He was simply asking for trouble and would likely lose his job,
Rachel glanced at Matthew and furrowed her brows. Then, she coldly said, “Well, I do need a chauffeur now.”
