Looking back to the first day I met Chloe, she was hostile to me.
I heard their conversation in a restaurant once: "Mr. Sterling, the company spent a lot of money to hire a housewife as a manager. If outsiders knew about this, wouldn't they laugh at us?"
Alexander said nothing, but smiled and indulged her.
Since then, she has disliked me in every way.
I was widely promoted at staff meetings and department dinners.
"Anyone can get into this company. If I had known what university to go to, I would have studied to become a cook."
There were rumors rife in the company, all saying that I was using backdoors and was unworthy of my position. Everyone was betting on when I would be kicked out of the company.
I have heard of it.
But I don't care.
My indifference resulted in Chloe becoming even more aggressive.
This time she has seized the opportunity to kill me.
I was not willing to be outdone.
He grabbed her wrist with his backhand and pushed her hard.
She hit her head on the table and fell heavily to the ground.
She ignored the pain and grabbed the broken diamond necklace on the ground.
Under the light, the diamond is even more dazzling, but there are obvious bumps and scratches on it.
“Vivian！”
Chloe yelled, her anger seemed to ignite her whole being.
"Do you know how much this necklace is worth!?"
"Mr. Sterling took this photo for me on my birthday. It's worth a million dollars!"
I combed my hair slowly and methodically.
Looking down at her.
"It's your own fault, it's just self-defense!"
Alexander finally couldn't stand it anymore and helped Chloe up with heartache.
"Vivian! You're going too far!"
"As an employee of the company, he ignored the rules and regulations and destroyed employee property."
"I am now officially notifying you in the name of the executive director that you are fired!"
"Now, get out of here immediately!"
I paused as I picked up the recipe.
This is the most Alexander has spoken to me since I joined the company.
I just didn't expect it to be under such circumstances.
Chloe hid in Alexander's arms and shouted: "Mr. Sterling, she broke the necklace you gave her, call the police to arrest her!"
The negotiation room was silent.
Everyone looked at me as if they were waiting for a good show.
"Okay, I'll pay for it."
"It's just one million dollars."
I took out my cell phone and made a call before I could even speak.
"One million US dollars was the price during the auction. Now it's at least 10 million US dollars!"
Everyone present gasped.
Ten million US dollars is not a small sum for them.
I looked at her and said, "Ten million US dollars? You're so brave to ask for that."
"You've never been to an auction in your life, right? Do you know that the items there are priceless?"
"I'm asking you to give me 10 million US dollars because we're colleagues."
"If I wasn't kindhearted, I would send you to jail, don't you think?"
Chloe was cocky.
She knew I couldn't afford the compensation with just the monthly salary.
He kept biting me and deliberately humiliating me.
Others present echoed the sentiment.
Planning Director: "Yes, this was given by Mr. Sterling. How can it be measured by money?"
Marketing Manager: "Chloe is not a philanthropist. Shouldn't she compensate me? Hahaha, but Ms. Wright will never be able to pay all the compensation even if she dies."
The financial director: "I'm afraid you can't even afford to pay for it even if you lose all your underwear!"
Everyone laughed continuously, their eyes filled with contempt and ridicule.
They have long been fed up with me doing nothing all day, so they decided to be on equal footing with me.
Seeing me in trouble, naturally they wanted to add insult to injury.
Alexander sat aside and watched coldly.
I asked Chloe: "10 million dollars, isn't that too much?"
