MY Masochistic CEO-Chapter 153 A showdown with Jessica

No one was a fool. Everyone knew whom that statement was directed at.

Nicole’s first day in office not only didn’t start well but also made herself a laughingstock. She was hurting herself by her own doing. No one would take her seriously in the future.

I sneered. She really shouldn’t have messed with me. If it were someone else, she would have established her authority today.

With a ten-million-dollar project in hand, I thought even a fool wouldn’t dare to trouble me. But Nicole, still reeling from the last incident, insisted on targeting me.

Jessica walked to the door. "William, come in."

I quickly walked over and entered the office. Jessica said, "You did well today, but you need to be more tactful in your actions. While it may feel good to vent today, it could become a stain for others to attack you in the future. Got it?" 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

I nodded as that was indeed true. The workplace was like a battlefield.

But what really surprised me was Jessica saying this to me, which was totally unexpected.

"Are you really going to sue Philip?"

"Yes."

"You better not." She looked at me and said, "There’s no need to escalate a joke. While it might serve as a warning to others, it could also ruin your path to promotion. Even if you bring in one billion or ten billion in deals in the future, you won’t move up. Do you understand?"

"So should I just let him bully me?"

I furrowed my brows.

"Then go ahead and sue, and pack up your things. I’ll inform HR to settle your salary early."

Jessica’s face turned cold.

I got angry, too. "I will definitely sue. If you want to fire me, do it. By the way, I’ve already connected with Charles Williams."

"Mrs. Lawrence, if nothing else, I’ll leave now. I have a meeting scheduled with the head of the Wallace Company’s project today."

After that, I left quickly. Just as I reached the office door, Jessica called out. "Stop!"

"Is there anything else?"

Jessica’s face turned cold as she slammed the table. "William. How dare you threaten me now?"

"Mrs. Lawrence, you’re being too harsh." I said lightly, "I came to Skylight to make money, not to be treated unfairly. In marketing, it’s all about performance. I’m not a leader, so I don’t know how to play those tricks!"

"If you care about your reputation, I care about mine as well. If you feel unease, you have two options. Either get rid of me or get rid of him. I’ve endured for a year. Do you expect me to endure more? Sorry, I won’t!"

After saying that, I left directly, walking out of the marketing department.

’Damn it! I helped Jessica at first. Yet she took all the benefits for herself and then warned me!’

I was even angry with Tatiana.

Why would she promote Nicole without even informing Nicole that I was on her side?

Back at Eternal Media, I took out the resumes that Mary had picked out yesterday and called them with a different number.

After the phone calls, a few more people came for interviews. Following Mary’s instructions, I asked them all to wait for my decision.

Then I called in a repairman to install the broadband on the other side.

At eleven in the morning, Lily Monroe arrived.

"William, did you buy the lilies I asked for?"

I brought out a bouquet from the office. "108 of them!"

"Not bad."

She nodded.

"Isn’t just giving a bouquet of flowers too plain?"

"My aunt just wants to meet you. No need for too many gifts. It’s not a wedding gift, okay?"

After saying that, her face blushed. Lily Monroe didn’t hold back in her words.

But she was still wearing a white dress today, with a ponytail, looking incredibly youthful and beautiful, coupled with her delicate appearance and ample bosoms, which were extremely eye-catching.

"You may say that, as your aunt may be my aunt-in-law."

I chuckled.

The young girl gave me a glare. "You’re taking advantage of me!"

She casually sat on my chair, looking around. "William, your dance company is in HT Plaza. Is it convenient to have your office set up here?"

I explained. "This isn’t the office of the dance company. It’s my newly opened company called Eternal Media. It just started these past few days, and the employees will start working here tomorrow."

"So you’re leaving Skylight?" Lily Monroe seemed surprised.

"I haven’t completely left Skylight yet, but soon. I will." I handed her a bottle of water.

"So does that mean you can handle advertising placements yourself?"

"Yes, but it will take a few days."

"Perfect. My friend has opened a wellness center. I’ll introduce them to you when the time comes."

"Thank you so much. I’ll treat you to dinner as an appreciation!"

"No need for that. In a few days, our class is going on an outing with the neighboring art class. How about coming with us?"

She blinked her eyes. "We’re going to be camping in the wilderness!"

What?

What did the art class’s outing have to do with her dance class?

Lily Monroe explained, and I finally understood that many students in her class had chosen art as an elective subject, combined with the close relationship between their head teacher and the art class teacher, leading to this outing.

"But, is it okay for me, an outsider, to go with you?"

"It’s fine. By then, they’ll all be bringing their boyfriends."

I finally realized that this so-called outing was just an excuse to have fun!

"Where are you going for the outing?"

"To the west coast, where it’s reported to have developed a new project."

She showed me promotional pictures on her phone, showing houses built by the seaside that resembled igloos. "We’ll be staying in there."

I got excited instantly.

"Alright. Then I’ll gladly accompany you."

After chatting for a while, we found a nearby restaurant to have a meal and then drove her car to Sevan Art Academy!

Back then, I wanted to attend this college, but studying art was too expensive, so I ended up choosing a major that made it easier to find a job.
