Chapter 1860 No Means No

“If there's anything you want to say, spill it. I'm busy,” Delilah said rudely.

“Ms. Young, let me introduce myself first. I am the president of Norton Corporation,” Larry said as he

stretched out his right hand.

Delilah was momentarily taken aback but composed herself quickly. She had heard of Norton

Corporation, and definitely of Larry. It just had not occurred to her that he would personally come

to look for her.

“If you're looking to work with me, I must ask you to leave. I believe I've made myself very clear that

I will not work with you,” Delilah said firmly.

She left him no room for negotiation. Larry frowned.

It's the first time in my life that somebody has refused an offer to work with me. Interesting. He

looked around before his gaze fell back upon Delilah, saying nothing.

She must have a weakness somewhere. All ordinary people do.

He thought hard about what Delilah’s vulnerable point could be.

“Grandma!” Just then, Lucius yelled as he pushed open the door and threw himself into Delilah’s

embrace.

“You're home! Are you hungry?” Delilah gazed fondly at the boy before her.

“I'm not hungry. Mom would be home soon,” Lucius replied happily.

“Hello, Sir.” Lucius finally noticed Larry and greeted him with a bow.

Delilah hurriedly shoved the boy into his room and forbade him from coming out.

In this day and age, there are all kinds of people who would do anything to achieve their ambitions.

“Please leave. I'm not interested in working with you.” Delilah waved her hands at Larry.

Bemused, Larry obliged her request and departed.

“Larry, what are we going to do now that Ms. Young is refusing to work with us?” Caspian's eyes had

a sliver of worry in them.

"Oh, she will,” Larry said determinedly.

Caspian gazed at Larry curiously, he had no idea what the latter meant.

“Selena, no more bonuses for you for the month. Oh, and you're out of off days,” Freya said

viciously.

Selena knew that Freya wouldn't let her off that easily.

Nonetheless, she said nothing. With a sense of indignation, she bore her burden alone.

“What is it, Selena? Are you dissatisfied?” Freya asked suddenly, her cold eyes fixed on Selena.

Of course I am! She did not bother to investigate the truth and just blamed others! The more Selena

thought about it, the more incensed she became.

“No,” she answered.

Where did this woman come from? She is ill-tempered, short-sighted, and is keen on stirring up

trouble. Selena frowned and trudged over to the cashier with a heart full of grievances.

“Selena, what is it? What did Ms. Brooks say?” Her co-workers surrounded her and enquired

concernedly.

“I've just lost my bonus and leaves for the month,” Selena said gloomily with a shrug. “By the looks

of it, we would have to wait until next month for me to treat you guys.”

In an instant, the women voiced their indignation.

“How could Ms. Brooks do that? It wasn't your responsibility! How could she punish you like that?”

“That's right! This is something that needs to be discussed with the store owner...”

Not long after that, Freya emerged from her office. The women hurriedly dispersed and pretended

to be engrossed in their work.

“Ms. Young, I am out of leaves for the month,” Selena said with a pout.

Delilah looked at Selena with a raised brow.

“But it's fine, it's a chance for me to make more money,” Selena added, for she doesn't want Delilah

to worry about her.

“Mom, didn’t you always have leaves available?” Lucius asked unhappily.

Selena brushed him off with an excuse. Though Delilah was dubious at Selena’s words, she did not

enquire further. She respected Selena’s choice in remaining reticent.

At the supermarket, it was business as usual. Every employee carried out their tasks in all

seriousness. Selena had been working non-stop for half a month. Everybody felt sorry for her but

did not dare to offend Freya.

For some reason, the manager had not been back for a long time.
