Chapter 63 Chance Be Given
It is soft and weak of Abella, almost to the extent of pleading while leaning on the table.
"No, please..." Ms. Allen's voice trembled, "Miss Medici, let's talk things out..."
"I intended to let you off the hook, but it was you who insisted on settling this debt with me."
Abella raised an eyebrow, also feeling helpless, "I didn't plan on making you compensate for the company's losses, nor did I want to see you end up in jail... It was you who insisted on reporting this to headquarters and blowing it out of proportion."
Ms. Allen regretted it deeply, feeling remorseful to the extreme. "Miss Medici, everything is all my fault! I shouldn't have tampered with the attendance records without permission, deceived to receive a full month's salary and attendance bonus! I shouldn't have shamelessly accepted the company's annual reward... I was wrong! I was unbelievably wrong! Can you please forgive me?"
"Is this the only thing you did wrong?" Abella's gaze fell upon her, exerting a slight pressure.
"Besides that, what else..." Ms. Allen's tears welled up in her eyes. In her panic, she couldn't remember anything else she had done to give Miss Medici a handle.
"When I logged into the official company email, I restored everything that had been deleted. Guess what I found?"
Ms. Allen seemed to have realized something but dared not confirm, hesitantly asking, "What did you find...?"
"It was a collection of complaint letters written by the people who left the company this year! There were sixty-three complaints about you."
Ms. Allen was shocked, and her fellow colleagues outside were also astounded. So many?
It appeared that Ms. Allen had mistreated quite a number of people.
"You abused your authority, protected colleagues who were misbehaving alongside you, and you managed to force away all those honest people who didn't want to cooperate with you! The reason why the company couldn't retain its talent was because of you!"
"Miss Medici, please listen to my explanation. Those people didn't cooperate with the company's rules..."
Abella's gaze turned frosty. "At this point, you still want to frame them?!"
It's true that some people don't realize the gravity of the situation until it's too late!
"Miss Medici, I was wrong! I beg you to give me another chance!" Ms. Allen pleaded, "I will apologize to each and every person I forced away!"
Ms. Allen added, "I will return all twelve months’ worth of salary and bonuses that the company gave me within three days! Please don't call the police! If you do, I will be finished! My life will be ruined!"
Abella looked into her eyes and spoke each word, "When you forced them out, did you ever think about how their lives, too, would be ruined by you?"
"Miss Medici..."
"When you slandered them, did you consider their feelings?"
Abella stared at the short-haired woman in front of her, "In the complaint letters, I even saw that you threatened some colleagues with their personal matters, and two or three of them transferred money to you just to make peace. It was not a small amount. If we were to count all the crimes together, you should at least face legal consequences
"Two years in prison."
"Miss Medici..." Ms. Allen was scared and tearful, saying, "I was wrong! I made a mistake..."
"It's too late."
Joseph had already called the police, and now several policemen came to the door to inquire about the situation and take Ms. Allen away.
"Miss Medici, Miss Medici, you are a big person, please say something..." Ms. Allen didn't want to be arrested. She placed her last hope on Abella and cried, disregarding her image. "Miss Medici, give me another chance. I promise to change and start anew."
"I have already given you a chance, but you didn't cherish it."
"Miss Medici, Miss Medici..."
There was an uproar outside.
"I didn't know Ms. Allen to be so despicable..."
"She even accepted bribes in secret."
"It's true that you never know someone's heart."
...
"Have you seen enough of the commotion?" Abella's voice sounded.
People outside dispersed, not daring to linger. It seemed that this newly arrived CEO was not to be trifled with.
Joseph couldn't help and came in after seeing everyone leave, offering Abella a cup of coffee. "Miss Medici, if Ms. Allen didn't come to see you, were you planning to let her go?"
Joseph continued, "She has done so many bad things. If you let her go, it would be too lenient on her!"
"Of course not." Confidence flickered in Abella's eyes. "She will come."
"How do you know?"
"I've seen the complaint letters before. The fact that she dared to confront Benjamin over a small matter shows that she has a fiery temperament and cannot tolerate any criticism. By firing her, she would feel humiliated, so she will come to reason with me in person."
"So, you expected this and set a trap for her... You would have called the police no matter what!"
"Of course." How could Abella let her go? How much has this company lost because of this rotten apple?
After taking a few sips of coffee, Abella added, "It's inevitable for a company to have people who love to watch the show. Once they know she's coming, they will come eavesdrop for gossip."
Joseph looked at Abella in shock, as if he were looking at a mythical figure. "So, you also anticipated the people who were hiding outside earlier?"
Even though he had been praying for them to leave with his hands clasped together, Miss Medici let them see, using it as an opportunity to set an example?!
"This past year, the company has been too chaotic. Many people and many things need to be reorganized." Abella didn't care and spoke indifferently, "You may leave now."
"Yes." Joseph couldn't help but feel amazed even as he left. Miss Medici was amazing. She had complete control over how things develop
Phillipe looked at the messages he had sent, each containing a small part of his plan, and sighed.
It's 12:42, and still no reply.
This little girl forgets about her fiancé When she starts working!
His fingers couldn't help but click on Abella's profile picture, which was a shadow projected on the wall.
Although the shadow was black, her beautiful frame and shape were without a doubt.
He didn't expect her shadow to be this attractive.
Phillipe stared at her profile picture for a while, unable to help but imagine what weather it was when she took this photo, what clothes she was wearing that day, and how she was feeling...
Phillipe's gaze unconsciously softened.
He saved her profile picture with a tap of his finger, returned to the chat box, and still no reply from .
What could she be busy with?
She didn't even have time to check her phone...
Abella intended to send a WhatsApp message, but her phone vibrated at this moment, it was her father calling.
She slid to answer and greeted, "Dad," and Mr. Medici happily exclaimed, "My dear Abella, you went to the company so early again?"
That's too dedicated!
"I've heard about Ms. Allen's matter from the people at the company! I didn't expect her to be so audacious, dare to deceive and cheat... You did great, just a few days at the company and you exposed such a big troublemaker."
