Arno, frowning more tightly, stepped forward to support Dora, who was bent over.
His action was so gentle that almost blinded Bill.
Dora was also a little stunned, as if she did not expect that he would have this move.
With one hand on her shoulder and one hand patting on her waist, Arno said calmly, "if you have something to say, you don't have to bend down."
With such a gentle touch, Dora suddenly forgot to react. She only felt that there was a numb feeling where it was touched by Arno.
A moment later, she was asked to sat on the sofa again.
As if nothing had happened, Arno sat down beside her and asked, "what do you mean just now that you can't do it?"
Dora, who was not nervous for no reason, said with an apologetic face: "I quit from E.C Company. "
"Quit?"
Arno was stunned, and surprised, "why so suddenly?"
At this morning, everything was still good. She was full of energy. It was just one morning. What happened?
Dora took a deep breath and thought she shouldn't have lied. She said with a wry smile, "in fact, it is not resignation. It should be said that I was fired. "
Arno's eyes sank and he was obviously unhappy.
Fire?
Why did the company fire her?
However, Dora mistakenly thought that Arno was angry about she breaking her promise. She started to be nervous. "I'm really sorry. I failed your and Andy’s trust. So, if you want to beat or scold, you can do it! I will not resist! "
"I'm not used to hitting women!"
Arno seemed to have been amused. He smiled lightly and said, "you don't have to apologize to me. I don't think you did it on purpose, so you don't have to take it seriously. But I can't deliver the gift for you. I hope that next time Miss Bush meet Andy, you can give it to him. "
Dora was stunned and said in disbelief, "I... I cam? You're not angry? Don't blame me? "
Arno nodded slightly, his voice as soft as possible. "Of course, I won’t blame you. I think Andy would be very happy to receive this gift."
Dora, hearing his words, immediately smiled. Her watery eyes were full of starlight, so brilliant that it was difficult to be not attracted.
Arno smiled unconsciously.
After a while, Dora left.
As soon as she left, the smile on president Jones's face suddenly disappeared, replaced by endless ice and gloom.
When Bill saw his brother change, he was so scared that he swallowed his saliva. He became trembling, "brother, just say what you want to say. Don't change your face suddenly. I'm afraid.”
Arno squinted at him and ordered, "go and find out what's going on."
"What?" Bill didn't react for a moment. He was stunned for three seconds, and then he responded, "Oh, oh, oh, investigate why my sister-in-law was fired, right? Is there something hidden in this? "
Arno said coldly, "We will know after checking."
Bill didn't dare to delay. He became serious and said, "yes, I'm going now."
…
Within an hour or so, Bill knew the process of Dora's dismissal and rushed back to find his brother.
After hearing this, Arno's face was very terrible, and he was in a rage obviously.
Bill was not afraid this time. He said angrily, "my sister-in-law is so poor that she has been bullied by this bad couple. You can't let them go, brother!"
Arno didn't answer, but narrowed his eyes dangerously and stared at the name on the computer desktop.
Joseph!
Because he had checked Dora's information before, he naturally knew who Joseph was.
This person represented Dora's past and her inner weakness.
Before that, Arno had never thought that he would hate a man so much one day!
Although...This man was nothing to him.
But at least Joseph was the thorn in the eye. Arno naturally wanted to pull out fast!
Arno breathed a little, pressed down his inner gloom, and then raised his eyes. He looked calm and wise again.
Looking at Bill, he said: "White group has been doing a lot in the past two years, trying to expand its business territory. Cooperating with Jones group is their first choice."
As he rubbed his chin, Bill seemed to remember something and said, "I remembered something. A few days ago, someone asked Webb to send me a message that the person in charge of White group wanted to talk to me about a big business. At that time, I was so busy on vacation that I didn't pay attention to it.
Now I think that not only did White group not give up, but also chose E.C Company as a springboard to get in touch with Jones group. "
Arno sneered coldly, as if he was disdainful, "they are ambitious."
Bill, laughed, "That right. Joseph has bad luck who dares to offend you... " He speaking of this, his eyes suddenly brightened, as if he thought of something funny. He laughed with malice, "brother, anyway, I'm quite free recently, or...How about I help you deal with this? "
When Arno saw his expression, he knew that he was interested. He said faintly, "You can solve it, but you must let me be satisfied."
Bill immediately patted his chest and promised, "No problem. Look! I promise to make Joseph regret to death."
He dared to bully his future sister-in-law. He had to pay a price.
…
Over the next few days, Dora started sending out resumes.
Her resume was not bad. She has made great achievements in school. She was a vice president of the student union. She has also participated in calligraphy competitions in the province and won prizes. She was a excellent and capable student.
In principle, such a talent should be favored by major companies.
But in the past few days, every resume she submitted seemed to sink into the sea without a splash.
She deeply doubted whether she was a loser!
However, Dora did not know that her "good stepsister" Freya had already secretly intercepted her resume.
At this time, in Bush family.
Freya was sitting in the yard, putting the resumes of Dora into the fire.
The fire burned violently. In a short time, resumes turned into black ash.
With joy in her eyes and the most vicious smile in the world, Freya said, "Dora, you slap me twice, and I will make you suffer more and pay more price! This...It's just the beginning!”
