Chapter 166

Chapter 166:

Stella had originally thought that when she arrived today, she would have to see the great Mr. Matthews again. However, she didn’t expect that before she could even sit down in the office, RK would call her into his office.

“You missed work yesterday. Since you were absent for a day, all of your salary for this month will be deducted.”

As soon as Stella entered the office, she couldn’t help but chuckle when she heard him say such a thing. Then, she frowned and sneered, “Is this revenge?”

She had only missed one day of work.

Even if her salary had to be deducted, it shouldn’t be to this extent. Well, he was being stubborn because he was the President.

If that was the case, it was only a matter of time before he found a chance to fire her.

“Shouldn’t your salary be deducted for skipping work? Stella, I hope you take your job seriously while you’re in the company. I am not paying you for doing nothing!”

“Fine, then do as you please!” After all, he was the president, and he wanted to deduct her salary. What was the use of her arguing with him? It seemed like she had to find a new job as soon as possible. If she ended up in court without a job, the judge wouldn’t grant her custody of the child.

“Stella, did anyone tell you that the financial condition is one of the key factors in fighting for child custody?”

The man stood up, put his hands on the table, and looked at her. From the look on his face, he seemed to be making fun of her.

She knew he had bad intentions.

With a cold snort internally, Stella said grumpily, “Do you want to fire me? Or do you want me to stay in the company and find opportunities to deduct my salary every month?”

“Am I that despicable in your eyes?”

“Are you despicable enough? A man who has a child with another woman fighting for custody with me? Don’t you think it’s ridiculous?”

“I won’t fire you!” The man’s tone was determined, and there were no hints of a lie.

“You want to enjoy the pleasure of deducting my salary every month, don’t you? You are such a psycho!”

Magic begins at g αℓ ησ ν퓮 ℓs.com “Stella, I am giving you a chance now. If you manage to convince this person to eat with me, I won’t deduct your salary.”

What the—? Was he using the same tricks again?

Stella took the business card he handed over with some suspicion, and traces of darkness appeared on her face. “Aden Smith!

What kind of joke is this?”

This was his enemy. She couldn’t persuade this person to dine with him at the same table in one day. Even if she was given a month, there was no way she could do that!

“RK, you are doing this on purpose! You are asking me to persuade Aden to eat at the same table as you! What’s the difference between this and firing me?” She knew that he wouldn’t be kind.

“I have one more condition: no matter where you go today, you have to take me with you. I don’t want you to sell yourself to men for a salary.”

RK’s words embarrassed her. She grabbed the pen holder from the table and smashed it onto his face, not caring about her status as a subordinate at all.

Stella was so angry that her face turned red. However, surprisingly, RK was not angry about her action at all. He seemed unfazed. After that, he got up and said, “If you can’t do it by midnight tonight, you won’t get your salary anymore.” It was as if he hadn’t been hit at all.

However, there was a small cut in the corner of her eye, and because they were standing so close to each other, Stella could see it very clearly. She gritted her teeth and glared at him. There was mockery in her words. “That day, after I slapped you when you were picking up your sweetheart, your face was covered with very heavy makeup, right? Then why don’t you put some on today as well? I happen to have some makeup, and I could lend you some!”

“Stella, are you so proud of attacking your boss at work?”

The man raised his eyebrows and smiled. The more he laughed, the more disgusted Stella felt.

“I wasn’t attacking my boss! I was attacking a shameless and hateful man!” She had wanted to hit him for a long time.

Not only that, but she still regretted that her slap wasn’t hard enough. Or maybe she shouldn’t have slapped him just once; she would keep doing it until her hand hurt. “You have been very close to Tristan recently.”

Even his son was not on Tristan’s side, and he constantly called him “Uncle Tristan.” Tsk, tsk, things couldn’t go on like this.

“We have always been close.” But what did that have to do with him? Stella was frustrated. Why should he interfere in her affairs? They had been divorced for so many years.

“Forget it. Today I am in a good mood, so I will give you a little hint: Aden is now at the Greenwood Cemetery.”

“You are changing the topic too quickly! Wait, if he is in the graveyard today, then today is... RK, I am now sure you are doing this on purpose! If you show up in front of him today, aren’t you afraid that he will pounce on you to strangle you to death?”

RK and Aden had become enemies because of Alice Smith’s death. She remembered it very clearly. If he made her ask Aden to have dinner with RK at this crucial moment, wouldn’t that be courting death?

“Let’s go. You don’t have much time!” As the man spoke, he strode forward with his head held high. Stella followed him, already cursing him in her heart for the tenth time.

He was strange. One moment he said that he was about to marry Sophia, and then he said that he wanted to fight for custody.

Now, he was dragging her to confront Aden. She was getting more and more confused about him.
