Pampered Wedding Marry Me, Mr. Langford

Chapter 43

Cindy was incredibly proud of her achievements. ‘Sooner or later, that b*tch will be chased out of the company! Samuel will never allow her to stay after committing such a terrible offense!’

While she was entrenched in sinister joy, she didn’t realize that no one in the room gave any form of reaction to her words.

Nervous, Cindy pressed on, “What’s wrong? Quick! We should call for an ambulance! Isn’t he allergic to alcohol?”

Finally, Tina came back to her senses and explained, “Miss Young, I think you’ve misunderstood the situation. Mr. Carter didn’t drink anything.”

“What?” Cindy was petrified. “That’s impossible! Didn’t you all say that he drank it just now? On top of that, Mr. Carter didn’t look well at all!”

Though John looked pale and tired, he rubbed his forehead and explained patiently, “Miss Young, I’m sorry to have worried you. I was just experiencing a bad headache, though I didn’t expect you to barge in and reach that conclusion. Thank you for caring about me.”

Cindy couldn’t believe her ears. She pointed to the half-empty cup and said, “But this cup…”

Samuel wouldn’t be the one to drink it, because he was already used to drinking freshly ground coffee. If John didn’t drink it, then who did?

“I was the one who drank it,” Tina finally admitted, face filled with distress.

After working the entire morning, she was famished and exhausted. So, she stole a sip to quench her thirst. She did think that the water tasted a bit strange, but it never slipped her mind that it was actually

alcohol.

Looking at Cindy, Samuel couldn’t help but find the entire situation skeptical.

“Cindy, didn’t I tell Sandy to send you back? Why are you still here?”

All color drained from her face. She didn’t expect her plan to fail at all. Anxious, she scrambled for words and blabbered, “Samuel, I… I was still feeling sluggish. That’s why I stayed back. I was resting in the lounge when I heard a commotion inside. I’m sorry, I didn’t think twice before jumping to conclusions.”

Samuel believed her every word. After all, someone as well-mannered and kind as Cindy would never plot anything for her benefit.

Thinking about this, he felt bad for doubting Cindy’s intentions.

“You don’t have to apologize, Cindy. Tina!”

His gentle tone took a severe turn when he called out to Tina. “I won’t look into the fact that you’ve sent the wrong beverage to us. However, you should take responsibility for drinking our refreshments without our knowledge. For your mistake, I’m going to cut your salary by half. Don’t do it the second time.”

Tina was stung. She attempted to argue with Samuel, and retorted, “That’s not fair…”

First things first, it wasn’t her intention to work here at all. She was forced to come! Yet, Samuel was reducing her pay for something so petty. No matter how she thought about it, it just didn’t feel right! Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

“I’ll cut one month off your salary!” Samuel gave an ultimatum.

Fueled with anger, Tina could feel her head throbbing in pain. Perhaps it was the alcohol taking effect, but she mustered the courage to scream back, “You battard, I quit!”

Samuel’s face turned livid almost instantly. It was obvious that he was furious.

Cindy heaved a sigh of relief. Though her plan didn’t succeed, everything still went well in the end. ‘What a b*tch, I didn’t have to do anything, and she still drove herself out of the company!’ Cindy was delighted.

She hurried to comfort Samuel, saying sweetly, “Samuel, don’t be angry. I’ll convince her to come back.”

“No need! You don’t have to worry about any of this. Sandy, send Cindy back home now! As for that woman, just let her be.”

:. She knew Samuel hated women who liked to overreact over the

slightest bit of discomfort.

‘That woman will never work alongside Samuel now!‘

Feeling wronged, Tina stormed out of the conference room.

Just as she was about to pack and leave, a group of women blocked her way. One of them hurtled a fierce slap on Tina’s face.
