Chapter 1416


    Vanessa smiled awkwardly and said, "Director Julien, I''ll get back to work first."


    However, before she went out, Julien said, "I''ll give you ten minutes to pack up."


    "Where are... Okay." Vanessa wanted to ask where they were going, but just as her words were at


    the tip of her tongue, she swallowed her words. It didn''t matter where they were going. All she had


    to do was to follow him.


    Aftering out of Julien''s office, Vanessa rushed to Joel''s side. "Joel, where is Director Julien


    going for his business tripter?"


    "Director Julien is going on a business tripter? Why do I not know anything about it?" As Julien''s


    personal assistant, Joel''s main responsibility was to take care of Julien''s schedule and other


    misceneous matters.


    Hearing that Julien was going on a business trip, Joel immediately checked Julien''s schedule, "All


    his most recent work is in Chatterton Town. He doesn''t have any business trips."


    "He doesn''t have any business trips?" Vanessa asked in reply. Since Julien wasn''t going on a


    business trip, why did he ask her to pack up? Was... was he firing her instead?


    Last Friday, two employees were dismissed because they were gossiping in the pantry. Was it her


    turn this time?


    It was very likely... However, Vanessa must not allow this to happen.


    Although the work environment in Rovio Corporation Inc waspetitive and stressful, the sry


    and bonus were great. Mostpanies could not match it at all. Besides the money that Julien had


    given her, this was another stable ie which she had been saving up for Lawrie''s future


    education.


    Vanessa turned around and returned to Julien''s office. Before figuring out the truth, she asked


    aloud, "Director Julien, what exactly did I do wrong?"


    Julien looked up and frowned at the woman who had just barged into his office.


    Vanessa bit her lip and said, "I didn''t do anything wrong. What right do you have to dismiss me?"


    Dismiss her?


    When did he dismiss her?


    Vanessa added, "I''ve been working in the secretary team for a year now. Although I have not done


    anything worth mentioning, I''vepleted all my work without mistakes. Just because I waste


    once, you''re firing me now?" Besides, I didn''t want to bete too. If it wasn''t because of what you


    did to mest night, would I have overslept this morning?"


    "Yes, I admit that there are countless people who want to work in Rovio, so thepany has never


    had a problem with recruiting talents. However, you can''t just dismiss whoever you like. Moreover, I


    got through the interviews and entered Rovio with my own abilities."


    "There were people saying that I got to where I am now because of you, but that doesn''t bother me


    at all. They can go ahead and say whatever they want. I did my job well, and I''ve proved to them


    that I am a capable person myself."


    "I''ve been working so hard for the past year, and yet you are dismissing me without a valid reason.


    What right do you have to do that? Is it because I''m your secret lover, so to you, I''m inferior to the


    other employees?"


    After Vanessa was done speaking her mind, Julien finally understood what she was talking and


    worrying about. However, he did not exin to her, but continued with his work.


    "Julien, why are you not saying anything? Is this the attitude a President should have towards his


    subordinates?" Vanessa roared in anger, "You froze my bank ount the day before yesterday and


    forced me to resign today. What on earth are you doing? Are you trying to kill me? If you want my


    life, just say it. I''ll give you my life."


    "Who forced you to resign?" Julien frowned. This was the first time ever he had noticed that


    Vanessa seemed to value this job very much. No, to be exact, what she cared about was still the


    money.


    During her time at Rovio, she was neverte, and she hadpleted every job that was handed to


    her well.


    Vanessa was still in a state of exasperation, so she said in a loud voice, "Who else could it be other


    than you?"


    Julien asked again, "You don''t want this job anymore?"


    Vanessa was slightly surprised and asked, "What, what do you mean?"


    She was actually asking him what he meant. Well, if it was some other secretaries who barged into


    his office and make a scene, he would have ordered the security guards to chase her out a long


    time ago. How dare this woman think that she could do whatever she wanted because of the


    privilege that he had given her?


    Julien said, "You only have three minutes left."


    "Oh... I''ll pack up right away." It was only when Vanessa had realized that if Julien really wanted to


    dismiss her, he need not have to do it himself. He could have just asked Joel to do it on his behalf.


    There were only three minutes left but Vanessa didn''t know what she should pack. Before she could


    even start packing, Julien had already walked out of the office. He looked at her and asked, "Are


    you done?"


    The secretary''s office area was an open office. Julien''s presence garnered everyone''s attention.


    Under everyone''s gaze, Vanessa stammered, "No, umm, yeah, yeah, I''m done..."


    Julien suddenly reached out his hand, and gently touched her face. "Don''t just stand there. Hurry up


    and pack."


    Julien''s sudden gentle gesture stunned Vanessa. What on earth was this man trying to do? What


    was he thinking?


    "What are you waiting for?" He grabbed her hand and smiled at her. "If we don''t leave now, we''ll be


    late."


    He smiled!

    He actually smiled at her!


    Vanessa had not seen this smile since a long time ago. It had been so long that she had almost


    forgotten what it looked like.


    Vanessa looked at Julien in a daze. She parted her lips and wanted to say something, but nothing


    came through her lips.


    Vanessa didn''t even know how she got out of the secretary''s office area.


    However, everything changed when the two got into the elevator. Julien immediately let go of her


    hand and took a step in forward. With his back facing her, Vanessa felt that he was so indifferent as


    if the whole world was fawning over him.


    Vanessa quietly inhaled a breath of cold air and tried to calm down the emotions that he had stirred


    up. "Where are we going?"


    Julien did not say anything.


    Vanessa added, "If it''s not a business trip, then where are we going?"


    Julien remained silent.


    Vanessa added, "You asked me out, but you''re not saying anything. What on earth do you want?"


    Julien still refused to answer her. He got out of the elevator then got in his car. This time, it was not


    the driver who was driving, but Julien himself. Vanessa noticed that and got in the backseat.


    After getting into the car, Vanessa saw that Julien did not intend to start the car engine. After a few


    minutes, Vanessa asked, "Are you nning on having a date in the car?"


    Julien looked at her from the rearview mirror and asked, "Am I your chauffeur?"


    Vanessa understood what Julien meant, so she opened the car door and got in the front


    passenger''s seat. Vanessa saw that he had a stern look on his face, so she leaned into him and


    kissed him. "Okay, fine! It''s all my fault. Don''t be angry anymore, please?"
