Chapter 33 Intransigence
"Do you think I'm messing with you?" "It's you who have been arguing with me from the beginning. You are just making trouble out of nothing." Darren said, noticing that she had calmed down.
"Falsely accused with eloquence." Amanda murmured. Seeing Darren's long face, she pulled out her hand to straighten her clothes and said, "Those who don't know us might think Mr. Darren wants to have sex with me."
"The one who knows would probably think that way too." Said Darren.
Amanda was on guard, "I'm telling you, don't do anything stupid. I'll hit people." she added.
"Idiot." He chuckled and then loosened his hand, "Go back quickly and solve it properly. Don't think I will let you go easily."
"It sounds like a threat. I'm telling you, if you are here to pick Nancy's side, you can just say it. Out of this door, I won't listen to you anymore." Amanda rubbed her wrist and thought, 'What a bad luck! I was kissed by him, hit my head and hurt my wrist.'
Moreover, how would people think of her after the drama. Amanda didn't want anyone else to blame her anymore. She had to leave now.
Darren said, "Do you know what you did wrong?"
"Yes." Amanda answered. And she thought in her heart, 'I should have known that I can't communicate with this crazy boss. I should have left the lounge once entered in. Now I have wasted so much time with him.'
"Oh, what was your fault then?" Darren continued asking.
Amanda blinked her eyes. She realized she was being exposed. Noticing the displeasure on Darren's face, she pouted, "Didn't you do anything wrong? Even if I was wrong, it was because I was only trying to be reasonable with you."
It was a new concept.
With a serious look on her face, Amanda counted with her ten fingers.
"First of all, you and Rose were secretly photographed being together, so I helped you to salvage your reputation. You owed me a favor and you should thank me. However, you didn't thank me at all. Instead, you said that I was just making every effort to get the reward, in order to turn it into a win-win result."
She didn't know how to deal with the media, so she was pushed to the front of the media with the identity of Mrs. An. She wanted to explain it clearly, but the security guard stopped her, a group of reporters rejected her, so she couldn't even go up to the stage. In case of more humiliation, she could only take risks to frighten them.
She didn't want to experience so-called journey of rich wife or Cinderella.
"Secondly, whether you agree or not, I am the vice president of the company. If a manager can't satisfy me, I have the right to refuse to sign. In return, she comes to you without my signature. You don't defend my position as a vice president, but sigh my name without authorization. Since then, they all learn to look for you anyway. What's the point of me as the vice president? At first, they don't listen to me. Do you want me to fight all by myself or do you want me to be a transparent person?"
"The third point." Amanda chuckled, "Never mind. There's no third point."
"Why not?" "So what's your problem? You can tell me all at once." said Darren.
"Since you dislike me for a long time, let's get back to business. I didn't plan to set you up with Rose or aim at Nancy. I just think that the report can be done better, so I let her do it again. If the company always follows the conventional rules, how can it develop?" Amanda was serious, "This is the first time that my new broom sweeps clean. Mr. Darren, of course you can make fun of me as much as you want, but I don't think I was wrong. I will treasure my self-respect."
Her dark eyes were full of determination, and her slightly pursed lips were still a little rash.
Darren looked away, got up and went outside.
"Hey, where are you going?" Amanda called him.
"Of course to work. It's still working time." Said Darren.
Amanda said, "But do you admit your fault?" She moved a little more violently, and a nail popped out from nowhere and pierced into her dress. Amanda took a step forward, and the dress was torn. Looking at the torn dress, she said, "Even your office is making fun of me, a nail popped out to deal with me."
Noticing her complaint, Darren glanced at her and said lightly, "It depends on what you pay for. You are not careful enough and the quality of your dress is not good."
A pillow hit him, and Amanda shouted, "Fuck off!"
Then Darren went out. There was only Amanda left in the room, looking at her dress which had been torn. She sat there in a huff.
"Here's your clothes, Mrs. Amanda." The door was pushed open. After putting the clothes on the stool with her head down, Sophie closed the door and left.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
This scared Amanda. She took the clothes and saw that they were hers. She wondered if Sophie went to her home and got them? She put on her clothes and pushed the door open. Darren was sitting at the desk, with a shining pen in his hand. The wall behind him was simple and elegant. He sat in front of a piece of black and white plaid. His eyebrows were slightly wrinkled. He looked focused and serious.
Amanda thought that he was just a beast in human form. She got up and opened the door to go out. Seeing this, Darren stopped his action and frowned slightly.
After Amanda returned to her office, she bent over the desk in a daze. However, Nancy showed up again.
"Mrs. Amanda, please have a look at this financial report." said Nancy smilingly.
Amanda took the report and frowned, "I told you it was too ugly, and asked you to redo it again."
Nancy said, "You don't have to do this. Mr. Darren has signed the report for the first half of a month. If you approve this one, it's done then."
"I'm sorry. I don't know how to deal with garbage. Since Mr. Darren can sign for the first half a month, he can definitely do the second one." Amanda said coldly, "Don't mention about too much trouble for it. It's much easier for you to walk there than joking here."
"You!" A fierce light flashed through Nancy eyes. She said coldly, "It doesn't matter that you have troubled me twice today. The whole staff are watching it. If Mrs. Amanda wants to warning others by punishing me but failed in the end, it will be a terrible result."
"I'm not interested in punishing you." Amanda proposed.
Then Nancy walked away in her high heels.
"So, Mrs. Amanda is still unwilling to sign it?" Seeing that Nancy was going to the CEO office again, the other department asked with sympathy.
Nancy put away her anger, smiled helplessly, "I have no choice. Mrs. Amanda said she didn't understand the report and refused to sign it. Since the financial report can't be approved, all of your bonus for last month couldn't be calculated. I have to leave this old face and go to see Mr. Darren again."
"That's too over. How can you be the vice president of the company if you don't understand the financial report?" Someone said in an aggrieved tone.
"She got this position by relationship."
"Even if she has a relationship, she can't treat you like this. We don't rely on connections. We should work hard as we take the positions."
"I don't want to talk about it anymore. Or it will be too late." Nancy passed over in a hurry with people around her watching her sympathetically.
