142: Chapter 142 Office 142: Chapter 142 Office In the midst of the clamorous noise, Mary Johnson and Jas Clark pulled each other away from the company.
They intended to swagger in there, but Mary, a big jealous pot, under a string of not-so-clever lies from Jas Clark, actually forgot about the important matter at hand and fixated on whether Jas had really hired a prostitute.
Later, the quarrel between Mary and Jas drew Gina Lopez over, as well as the other people on that floor, who all ca to watch the drama unfold.
This floor was filled with the company’s upper echelon, with most knowing that these two would eventually take over the company, and everyone felt a chill in their heart.
With such quality of character at the helm, how could things turn out well?
Once the door to Sunny Nguyen’s office was shut, only Gina Lopez and Jas Clark remained.
Gina had sent everyone else away.
“Sister Sunny, don’t be angry.
After all, we’re all leaving soon,” Gina comforted Sunny.
Sunny Nguyen smiled faintly and said, “I’m fine, and I feel quite relieved now.
I used to harbor so feelings for him, but now I’ve completely let go.
The only thing I can’t get over is why I married him in the first place.”
Gina stared at Sunny, and seeing no trace of reluctance on her face, really set her mind at ease and joked, “You’re right.
It’s definitely for the best to leave such a man.”
Jas Clark interjected, “You two chat.
I’ll step out for a bit.”
Gina glared at him and said, “You want to leave now?
Just now, you said you were Sister Sunny’s man, but a lot of people heard that.
Are you planning to deny it now?”
Sunny Nguyen quickly said, “Gina, he was helping .
Let’s not push us together again.”
Jas Clark touched his nose and replied, “Exactly.
If I say I’m soone’s man, then I’d have to be that person’s man, and all the beauties in the world would be mine.”
Gina said to Jas Clark with a huff, “But there will definitely be gossip and rumors in the office.
What then?”
“Since you all are leaving anyway, let them say what they want.
I have thick skin, I don’t care what they say about .”
Gina was fuming.
If it hadn’t been for Jas Clark coming to Sunny’s aid today, she would have really wanted to give him a piece of her mind.
She huffed and walked out.
Now only Sunny Nguyen and Jas Clark were left in the office.
Sunny approached Jas, chiding with a twinge of playful reproach, “You really shouldn’t say such things.
I’m a divorced woman, so I’m not afraid, but you’re not even married yet.
If this gets out, how will you ever find a girlfriend?”
Jas Clark extended his arm and wrapped it around Sunny’s waist, smiling and saying confidently, “Then it’ll be even easier for .
If I can be linked with a great beauty like Director Nguyen, it shows how excellent I am.
Girls will flock to like moths to a fla.”
Jas Clark’s arm was strong, and soon Sunny’s stomach was pressed against his.
Her body went weak, and she put her hands against his chest, feebly saying, “Jas, stop it, this is the company.”
Jas Clark had only intended a casual embrace, but seeing Sunny’s captivated eyes, a certain thought would surge within him.
He chuckled, “You know, it might be more exciting in the office.
Should we give it a try?”
Sunny’s cheeks flushed hot as she quickly said, “No, no!
You’ve already caused a scene here.
If you stay in my office any longer, people will have even more wild ideas.” Although she said this, feeling the pressure of a certain hard object against her, Sunny actually began to fantasize about an intense office encounter, and for a mont she couldn’t help but really want to try it out.
Jas Clark released Sunny, who nearly collapsed, but he quickly embraced her again, whispering in her ear, “I’ll let you off this ti.
When you go to your new office, I’ll co find you there.”
Sunny couldn’t raise her head in embarrassnt, but couldn’t manage to voice a rejection.
She said softly, “That’s for later.
Just go now.”
Only then did Jas Clark truly let go of Sunny, and as he turned to leave, she called out to stop him, her face red, “Look at you.
Are you planning to go out looking like that?”
Jas looked down at himself.
He chuckled and said, “Or maybe you could help it out?”
“Get lost!” Sunny grabbed a cup of water and handed it to Jas, who drank it in one gulp.
Without any further physical contact with Sunny, he quickly cald down and left her office.
After Jas Clark left Sunny Nguyen’s office, he could feel the peculiar glances from everyone he passed—envy, jealousy, and contempt.
Clearly, they all believed he was having an affair with Sunny.
Despite being divorced, Director Nguyen was a beautiful woman very popular among the n in the company.
Unfortunately, they never had the chance to win her favor, but here was Jas Clark, a small staff mber from the logistics departnt, getting the taste; no wonder it made the n green with envy.
Jas Clark directly ignored the stares of those people, casually returning to the logistics departnt.
However, as soon as he entered, Jessica Wilson sidled up to him and whispered, “Jas, what happened between you and Director Nguyen…”
News sure spread fast—it seed everyone in the logistics departnt already knew.
Jas Clark chuckled and replied, “Do you think that’s possible?
It’s just that I can’t stand those two show-offs, so I deliberately provoked them.”
“Oh…” Jessica Wilson gave Jas Clark a aningful glance.
She couldn’t help but think that if this guy could deal with soone like Gina Lopez, it shouldn’t be too difficult for him to handle Sunny Nguyen either.
At that mont, Sunny Nguyen was sitting in her office, her mind curiously empty of the shaful episode with Mary Johnson and Jas Clark.
Instead, she was completely agitated by the teasing from Jas Clark, imagining if she were to switch to a new company, the passionate scenes that could unfold in her office with Jas Clark visiting.
“Will it be on the office desk, or on the couch?
Or perhaps…
should I get a bed for my office?”
After entertaining those thoughts for a while, Sunny Nguyen suddenly patted her face gently, shook her head vigorously, and laughed at herself, “Sunny Nguyen, oh Sunny Nguyen, aren’t you supposed to be a conservative woman?
How have you beco so wanton, even looking forward to such things?
There’s no future with you and Jas Clark.
You can’t harm yourself or others.”
Although she reminded herself of this, she knew she should break it off with Jas Clark to not tarnish his reputation.
Yet, she was uncontrollably drawn to the passionate thoughts involving him, leaving her torn and unsure of what to do.
That afternoon, as Jas Clark was sitting in the logistics departnt office, Gina Lopez gave him a call.
As soon as Jas Clark answered, Gina Lopez blurted out, “My resignation has been approved; I’m heading ho now.
You don’t have to wait for .” Then she hung up.
Jas Clark shook his head.
The head office couldn’t wait for Gina Lopez to leave, it seed.
Having submitted her resignation just in the morning, it had already been approved by the afternoon—quite the remarkable speed.
Right after the call ended, the door to the logistics departnt office opened and Emma Davis walked in, announcing, “At two-thirty, there will be a company-wide eting.
No one is to be absent.”
“Minister Davis, what’s this about?” Emily Smith imdiately inquired.
Emma Davis let out a sigh and answered, “Our new general manager has called for it.”
“Ah, Mr.
Lopez’s resignation has been approved so quickly?” Everyone in the logistics departnt was surprised.
Emma Davis nodded and said, “There’s no need to overthink things.
Just focus on your jobs, and there shouldn’t be any problems.
Alright, everyone hurry and get ready.
The eting starts in ten minutes, and I don’t want our departnt to be in violation of any rules.”
Everyone quickly got ready, but Sarah Utah lagged behind a step, walking beside Jas Clark.
She asked him quietly, “Big Brother Clark, should we also attend?”
“Of course, we have to go.
We’re still employees here, aren’t we?”
Sarah Utah nodded, her trust in Jas Clark was absolute.
The large conference room on the twentieth floor was the biggest in the entire building, not belonging to any one company but the building itself, capable of accommodating three hundred people.
Since JYPP Region Company only had about a hundred employees, the room was quite spacious.
Up on the stage, Jas Clark sat in the center with Mary Johnson right beside him.
The other people were a mix of original company staff and new arrivals of recent days.
Jas Clark looked confident and upright, his gaze occasionally sweeping over the employees seated below.
When his eyes fell upon Jas Clark, a sharp glint flashed in his gaze, followed by a faint cold smile at the corner of his mouth.
At two-thirty, the eting began.
The chief clerk introduced the leaders on the stage, revealing Jas Clark as the new general manager.
Gina Lopez’s resignation was briefly ntioned, and then Jas Clark was invited to speak.
Jas Clark delivered a speech full of grandiose but empty statents, concluding with, “Dear JYPP Region employees, for the company’s developnt, we need to make so changes.
Those who cannot fulfill their roles at JYPP Region Company must be decisively let go.”
This statent instantly made every employee feel insecure, fearing for their own job security.
Jas Clark then continued, “Although I have just arrived, I have observed so unsatisfactory behaviors, especially from logistics’ Jas Clark.
Relying on his previous position as Mr.
Lopez’s driver, he disrespected the company’s leadership and severely disrupted company order.
Therefore, I am now announcing the termination of Jas Clark’s employnt.”
All eyes turned toward Jas Clark, each person feeling a mix of gloom and unease.
Jas Clark was Gina Lopez’s driver—it made sense for the new leadership to not use him, but an outright dismissal was quite severe indeed.
