Chapter 1119: Chapter 1119: Who Made You Upset?
"I’ve missed you so much since you haven’t come to see me for such a long time."
George Robbins immediately spoke, his eyes sizing up Florienna Ellis from head to toe, his lecherous expression greatly diminishing his charm.
George initially wanted to touch Florienna’s thigh, but to his surprise, she slapped his hand away.
"Don’t touch me, I’m really upset right now."
Upsetting Florienna, George immediately sat beside her and asked, "What happened? Who has upset you?"
"Don’t even mention it, it’s all because of that Elijah Walker," Florienna said irritably.
"Elijah Walker?" Hearing this name, George was puzzled for a moment, unable to recall who that was.
"He’s the head of my design department," Florienna said impatiently, hinting with a glance.
"How did this Elijah Walker upset you? What happened? Did he bully you or..."
George’s tone became somewhat accusatory, though it seemed there was more to it.
"Hmph, the nerve of that idiot; he actually dared to suppress my design work secretly to prevent it from being launched."
Thinking back to the previous incident, Florienna spoke through gritted teeth.
"He suppressed your design work? What’s going on?" George pondered, a bit perplexed.
"The design for this season’s new product was assigned to our group, right? Everyone submitted their drafts, but when it came time to launch, I discovered that my draft was suppressed and not released. It was all Elijah Walker scheming behind my back, out of jealousy."
Florienna’s voice became even more shrill, "I don’t care, you need to fire him immediately."
After speaking, Florienna looked at George; had it been any other day, George would have complied with her request, but this time Florienna saw a hint of hesitation on his face.
"What, you don’t want to fire him?" Florienna demanded.
"Of course not, he is just a mere design department head. It would be easy for me to fire him," George tried to reassure her.
"Then hurry up and fire him; let him get out of the company. I don’t want to see him ever again."
Florienna’s voice was soft and delicate, which would normally make others cringe, but this was George’s favorite tone.
George swallowed, pulling Florienna closer into his arms, and said, "I can fire him, no problem, but we have to wait a bit."
"Wait for what? Or are you saying you really don’t want to take this up for me?"
"Hey, what are you talking about? You can do whatever you want now, but firing Elijah Walker is not possible. Charlotte Thompson really values him."
"Charlotte Thompson!"
Hearing this name, Florienna’s voice grew even higher.
"What does she have to do with this?"
"Didn’t I just mention? Your design team successfully launched the new product today, and the response was great. Your team was even praised. Charlotte now values Elijah Walker highly, and today there are designers from XTZ here to discuss a partnership. All the company’s designers are present, and this big collaboration might ultimately not just fall into anyone’s lap."
George spoke earnestly, and Florienna remembered that today the entire company was preparing to welcome XTZ.
"Then we absolutely can’t let this project fall into the hands of Elijah Walker."
