Chapter 304
Married at First Sight
Duncanâs words drained the color off Ms. Chaplinâs face.
Without the guts to defend herself, Ms. Chaplin responded, Iâm sorry, sir. I wonât do it again.â
She then approached Liberty and said apologetically, âMs. Hunt, Iâm sorry for judging you by your appearance and insulting you. Please forgive me.â
CC Now that Liberty had cooled down, she replied embarrassedly, âI was at fault too, Ms. Chaplin. I shouldâve watched my tone. Please forgive me for making you mad.â
After the pair exchanged apologies, Ms. Chaplin asked when Liberty could start work.
With a job secured, Liberty was overjoyed. She was grinning from ear to ear when she said, âI can start work anytime.â
âCome tomorrow then.â
âAlright. Thank you, Ms. Chaplin. Thank you, Mr. Lewis.â
Liberty expressed her gratitude and happily walked out with her resume.
âLiberty,â Duncan called out to her.
Liberty stopped and turned around to face him with a smile. â Do you need anything, Mr. Lewis?â
âYou start tomorrow, right? Run five rounds along the cement pavement in the garden outside before work every day. Youâre not allowed to clock in until you do so.â Duncan believed Liberty was way out of shape, but he could look past that for 1/3.
his best friendâs sake and give Liberty the opportunity to work.
As Duncan did not want the eyes of other colleagues to burn, he requested Liberty to prioritize her health and get in shape.
It was also for her own good.
The smile across Libertyâs face froze.
The CEO was asking her to jog a few laps every day before she even started work.
By the looks of the garden in front of the office building, one lap must be around two hundred meters. It would be tiring to run five rounds.
âGot it, Mr. Lewis. I will jog every day.â After the experience today, Liberty knew she should stop letting herself go. Duncan must be using work to make her run and lose pounds since he knew she needed the job.
Liberty did not think Duncan was way out of line. In fact, she believed he had her best interest in mind because of her brotherâinâlaw.
âWe have a cafeteria in the office building, so you can have your meals there instead of running all the way home to eat. Please donât use it as an excuse to eat more than your fill.
Youâre on probation for three months. If you still look like this after three monthsâ¦â
âMr. Lewis.â Liberty interrupted Duncan.
âMr. Lewis, I promise to shed the weight in three months.â
Her weight had gone out of control because she ate a lot and skipped the exercise.
She should be able to get in shape in three months if she refrained from overeating and got those steps in.
Duncan smirked. âI shall wait to see the result at the end of the probation.â
He then instructed Ms. Chaplin. âGet to the office early every day and watch her. Donât let her come inside the building if she doesnât finish her rounds.â
Ms. Chaplin respectfully took the order.
Liberty was lost for words.
She had a beef with Ms. Chaplin. Yet, Ms. Chaplin was tasked to watch her run.
There went her chance to slack off.
âNothingâs going on here. Youâre all dismissed. Get back to work.â
Having resolved the job issue for his best friendâs sisterâin law, Duncan waved his arm and told everybody to return to work while he went inside. His client was still waiting for him.
