Chapter 520

Ethan scratched the spot between his brows and his eyes fell silently on the speechless Janet, who had been standing to the side the whole time.

She was bowing her head down. Ethan had no idea if she was looking at something on the ground or simply trying to avoid making eye contact with him.

Perhaps Ethan had been looking at her for too long because Janet suddenly lifted her eyes, glanced over at him, snorted, and then looked away again.

Their awkward silence was finally broken.

Rosa kept right on crying, waiting for Draco’s next words.

“I won’t go too deep into what you’ve done in the past.” As usual, Draco’s voice was gentle and courteous, but his face was expressionless. He turned to look at Rosa coldly and said, “I can’t tolerate my employees doing anything against morality. Rosa, you may go ahead and hand your work over to Elizabeth. After that, you can go to the personnel department to go through the resignation procedure.

You will no longer be working here from now on.”

This was what Rosa had expected all along.

“All right, I see. I’ll hand over all my work today.” Rosa tried her best to suppress her tears. After having said that, it was hard for her not to break down in despair and run out in tears.

The departure of the troublemaker caused a subtle change to the originally depressed mood of the office.

Everyone immediately bowed their heads and went back to work, but they were still paying attention to the conversation between the three people.

After clearing his throat, Draco made his way up to Janet and Ethan and said, “I’m sorry to have caused you this much trouble.”

Draco was proof that people born in refined rich families were always well-educated, gentle, and implicit.

“It’s all right, Mr. Wesley. It’s over now.” Janet nodded in his direction.

After all, this man was her boss. Even if she was angry at him, she didn’t dare to speak a word of it.

Furthermore, Rosa had been dismissed and the matter was over now.

With a gentle smile on his face, Draco looked into Ethan’s eyes, turned to Janet, and said to her, “Janet, I’m sorry about all the trouble I’ve caused you. I’ll give you the day off, so you can go home now.”

After being startled for a few seconds, Janet suddenly turned around and glanced over at Ethan. The other party pretended to look away as if nothing had happened, but his eyes were obviously filled with guilt.

“No, thanks, Mr. Wesley. There’s still a lot of work I need to do here. Taking the day off will only hinder my progress. I’m fine.” With a bright warm smile on her face, Janet went straight to her desk and immediately began to work.

Ethan’s face scrunched up into a frown. He was a little anxious right then as he watched her with mixed feelings.

Why wasn’t she giving him a chance to explain himself?

Having heard Janet’s words, Draco became serious at once. He made his way to Janet and knocked on her desk with his knuckle. “I’m the boss, and your boss says you’re given a day off, all right?”

Since Draco insisted, Janet had to picked up her purse and be on her way.

Seeing that she was leaving, Ethan quickly followed behind her.

In early spring, the city happened to be still a little bleak and cold. Even though everything had started turning green, the cold wind was a steady reminder to people that winter hadn’t really passed yet.

Ethan pulled off his coat and tried to put it around Janet’s body.

However, Janet immediately hailed a cab and got in before he could.

“Shall we head home and talk there?” Ethan followed behind her and grabbed her hand.

Janet shook off his hand and proceeded to continue ignoring him. However, Ethan managed to get into the car as well.
