Chapter 204 Eagerly Trying to Please Elizabeth
At this moment, when Elizabeth saw Robert, she felt a bit repulsed.
To be clear, the reason she couldn't keep this job after just two days was largely because of him.
If it weren't for Robert's excessive enthusiasm towards her, she wouldn't have faced the jealousy of all the female employees in the company, and Harper wouldn't have been so jealous as to give her a broken chair.
Because of him, Elizabeth got herself into a lot of trouble.
In Elizabeth's eyes, Robert was no different from Owen six years ago. Robert was full of bad intentions, tired of playing with women. When he saw that she was honest and plain, he suddenly got interested.
But Elizabeth was no longer the same as she was six years ago.
She was no longer surprised by men like Robert.
So, at this moment, when Robert spoke to Elizabeth, she didn't want to respond at all, with a cold expression towards him.
So cold that Anna, who had just gotten out of the car, kept reminding Elizabeth, "Elizabeth, it is such a great opportunity that Mr. Lavien shows special interest in you. So many girls in the company want to have a meal with him. With his protection, no one will dare to bully you. Even if Harper comes back to work, as long as Mr. Lavien is protecting you, she won't dare to mess with you."
Elizabeth said, "I've already been fired. I'm here to collect my $100,000 payment."
Anna fell silent.
Just as she was about to comfort Elizabeth further, she saw six female designers getting off the bus behind them. They all saw Robert and couldn't help but speak up.
"Mr. Lavien, are you waiting for Linda here? You know, you promised to take Linda out for a meal two weeks ago, and you still haven't done it."
"Mr. Lavien, when you take Linda out for a meal, can we join too?"
"Mr. Lavien."
Robert looked impatiently at these vulgar women in front of him.
The smell of their cheap perfume made him nauseous.
Elizabeth was better, having a faint, indescribable scent that was very pleasant and calming.
It was a natural fragrance.
What Robert didn't know was that the perfume Elizabeth wore was custom-made for her by Alexander, costing tens of thousands of dollars for a small five-milliliter bottle.
Robert ignored Linda and the other female designers. With a warm smile, he looked at Elizabeth, saying, "Elizabeth, I've already fired Harper. No one will bother you in this company anymore. You should be very happy working here now, right?"
Behind him, Linda and her female colleagues stared at Elizabeth in jealousy!
They all looked at Elizabeth, who remained indifferent.
Elizabeth said bluntly, "Mr. Lavien, we don't even know each other. Please, don't bother me anymore, okay? Besides, I've already quit this job. I'm here to get my payment from Anna. Excuse me, please."
Robert fell silent.
How wonderful it felt to be rejected!
It was the first time a girl had rejected him so bluntly. Usually, whenever women saw him, they couldn't help but approach him. This was really the first time Robert had been rejected.
Robert actually smiled.
Just as he was about to step forward and speak to Elizabeth again, someone came out of the door.
It was Julia.
Seeing Elizabeth, Julia immediately rushed over, saying excitedly, "Elizabeth, where did you go on a business trip this past week? You didn't tell me, and I came down to ask you to lunch a few days ago. When I got here, you were already gone. Which city did you go to? Did you bring me a gift?"
Julia's innocent and sincere smile touched Elizabeth.
She looked at Julia apologetically, "Sorry, I forgot."
"It's okay, Elizabeth. I'm just kidding. You just started working here, even not receiving your salary yet. How could you have money?" Julia said with a grin.
"Elizabeth doesn't have money, but I do!" Robert suddenly interjected, "Elizabeth forgot to bring you a gift on her business trip, right? How about this, I'll make it up to you. I'll treat you and Elizabeth to dinner tonight. How about that?"
"Sure!" Julia agreed without thinking.
Robert's treat.
All the women in the company looked forward to it. Julia usually didn't even dare to think about it, never having any delusions, but she never expected Robert to invite her.
Of course, Julia could see that the person Robert really wanted to invite was Elizabeth.
Julia's eyes sparkled with anticipation as she looked at Elizabeth.
Elizabeth firmly refused, "Sorry, I'm not available."
Julia fell silent.
Robert fell silent.
Even the design department colleagues who hadn't entered the company yet fell silent.
After refusing, Elizabeth said to Anna, "Can I go up with you to get my money? I want to leave once I have it."
"Okay." Anna agreed. At this moment, she really wanted to keep Elizabeth who was a talent, a very experienced and good designer.
"What do you mean to get your money and leave? Elizabeth, didn't you agree to work at this company? Is it because you don't want to see me? If you don't want to see me, I can stay out of your sight. Why don't you want this job?"
Robert's words made the women behind him envious of Elizabeth.
Robert was actually trying so hard to please Elizabeth?
Elizabeth didn't care, saying, "Well, it's not that I don't want to work. I was fired by the company."
"Who dares to fire you! I'll make them leave immediately!" Robert said.
Elizabeth fell silent.
"You go up first. I'll park the car, coming up to handle your matter right away." After saying it, Robert got into the car, driving to the parking lot.
Anna was secretly pleased, saying, "Elizabeth, stay here."
Elizabeth wasn't a pretentious person. If the upcoming discussion went well, she would stay.
After all, finding a job wasn't easy, and who knew what other situations might arise? No one could say for sure.
She only said to Anna, "Let's go up and talk first."
With that, she and Julia walked towards the elevator.
Julia excitedly grabbed Elizabeth, saying, "Elizabeth, Mr. Lavien is so handsome. Why don't you even look at him?"
"Is he still handsome when he's so clingy? Isn't he just creepy?" Elizabeth said.
Julia fell silent.
Elizabeth talking like this would make all the women in the company die of jealousy, wouldn't it?
