Chapter 141 Framing and Entrapment
James Brown flicked his cigarette ashes and said contentedly, "I’m doing quite well here, the salary and benefits are good, and I really don’t want to change places randomly. Ms. Lopez, I wish you a bright future in your new company, and I’ll continue being my modest self as a junior employee."
After finishing, James Brown stood up and headed straight for the door.
Gina Lopez called out just as James was about to leave, "You, stop right there."
James stopped in his tracks, turned his head towards Gina with a grin, and said, "Ms. Lopez, you’ve already submitted your resignation, you’ll soon no longer be my boss, no need to boss me around like this, right?"
Gina huffed and said, "If you won’t leave, then the people you pulled to leave are still breaking the rules. I know you did this for me, but I, Gina Lopez, intend to leave with my dignity intact. The JYPP Region Company was my initiation, even if I leave, I don’t want to see it destroyed, understand?" By the end of it, Gina’s tone had softened considerably.
Facing Gina’s gaze, James shrugged helplessly and said, "It wasn’t me who pulled them away, I didn’t make any promises to them, it’s only your charismatic leadership they’re following."
Without waiting for Gina to speak, James waved his hand and said, "Alright, I won’t be the bad guy anymore. Do as you like." With that, he opened the door and left the general manager’s office.
Gina watched the door open and close, shaking her head slightly. She knew James meant well, but such kindness was definitely against her principles, and she would never participate.
However, James’s demeanor left Gina somewhat annoyed. This guy, daring to ignore her authority as the boss, really needed a lesson. Wait until tonight to see how I deal with you.
After this thought crossed her mind, Gina herself almost laughed. Even though James was pretending to be her boyfriend, she really had no reason or right to discipline James at home.
James didn’t go far, just to Sunny Nguyen’s office next. The door was closed, but the voices inside were loud, clearly showing Sunny’s rage, the kind that stemmed from humiliation.
