CHAPTER 44: CHAPTER 44: YOU’RE FIRED

"Enter," a deep voice came from inside.

The assistant’s cheeks flushed red upon hearing this voice.

She tidied up the stray hair by her ear and only after confirming her makeup was in place did she push the door open and enter.

"CEO." The assistant looked shyly at the man working at the enormous desk.

The man’s eyes were deep, his features handsome, and his focused demeanor as he reviewed documents made the assistant’s already fast-beating heart race even faster.

Damian Knight...

It was for him that she went through so much trouble and used all her connections just to get the interview opportunity.

"Speak," Damian Knight said, without even raising his head, as he continued flipping through the documents in his hand.

"Ahem..." The assistant cleared her throat and began speaking in what she thought was her softest voice, "There’s a project manager outside saying there’s an image spokesperson coming to sign a contract... If you’re busy, I can tell them you’re unavailable."

The assistant had seen the coffee blacklisting video online and knew that the image spokesperson was quite good-looking, so from the bottom of her heart, she didn’t want Damian Knight to meet her.

This was also one of the reasons she deliberately delayed just now.

After speaking, the assistant was about to leave directly since for every ten people wanting to meet the CEO, five would be dismissed by him with "if he can’t handle even this minor matter, what do I keep him for?"

However—

"Wait." Damian Knight’s voice came from behind her.

The assistant paused her steps, turned around sweetly asking, "CEO, is there anything else?"

But when she looked up, she realized Damian Knight had somehow already walked right up to her.

The face that kept her up at night was suddenly magnified several times, and the assistant could even hear her own heartbeat.

Being this close...

Could he be wanting to kiss her?

Her face blushed deep red, daringly calling coquettishly, "CEO..."

As she called Damian Knight with a syrupy voice, her right hand moved towards his waist...

But just as her hand was about to touch Damian Knight, her wrist was suddenly grabbed by a big hand and she was hit with a sharp pain.

"Ah—" the assistant cried out in pain, her face turning pale, looking incredulously at Damian Knight.

"CEO..."

"What are you trying to do?" Damian Knight asked, expressionless, his eyes dark and cold, making her back feel chilled.

The assistant’s face turned white with pain, feeling as if her hand was about to break!

"CEO, it hurts..."

Disgusted, Damian Knight released the assistant’s hand and said coldly, "You overstepped."

"I’m sorry!"

The assistant had never thought that it was all just her imagination? Damian Knight had no such intentions towards her at all!

For a split second, she was so embarrassed she wished she could dig a hole and hide in it forever.

She quickly explained, "I-I actually have low blood sugar, I subconsciously tried to steady myself just now..."

Damian Knight was too uninterested to listen further, directly asking, "Which project’s person in charge?"

The assistant felt relieved, truthfully saying, "The person in charge of the Midnight Coffee House."

Damian Knight suddenly raised his eyelids and asked, "How long have they been here?"

"A-about twenty minutes or so..."

"Twenty minutes, and you’re just informing me now!"

"I..."

Damian Knight raised his hand, "No need to explain further, go directly to HR for your final paycheck, you don’t need to come back tomorrow."

The assistant, who thought she had escaped a disaster, widened her eyes in an instant.

She had offended Damian Knight, and he didn’t fire her, but now she was being fired just for making the project manager wait twenty minutes?

Before the assistant could react, Damian Knight had already strode out.

Her whole body felt cold, her strength suddenly leaving, and she collapsed to the ground.
