"Tassach, you've crossed the line. Do you know how much I've done for your company since I came? My background and degree are as good as my appearance. I'm also doing a very great job in my career. I can help you twice the scale of the company within a short time."
She wasn't lying. She had the ability and a good look. She would make the best publicist given time.
Tassach nodded and said, "I am very grateful that you have contributed so much to our business. Our profit has been soaring since you came, but you can't use it to judge or hurt others. If you're really that arrogant and can't get along well with your colleagues, I'll have to ask you to leave."
Gracie looked at him with disbelief and asked, "Are you firing me because of this woman?"
Tassach glanced at Ophelia and denied, "This has nothing to do with her."
"Then please tell me what I've done wrong. I've been getting along with others since the first day I came. Nobody has said anything about me, at least not in my face. If you really fire me without giving me the reason, I'll tell your mom."
Tassach pursed his lips.
Ophelia lifted his finger and pointed outside, saying, "You can just drop me here. I need to buy something. I'll go back on my own later."
Tassach parked the car and said, "What do you need? Do you need a hand?"
"No, you should send her back. I'll go back by myself later." Ophelia said as she unbuckled herself.
Tassach also unbuckled himself and said, "I'll go with you. You're pregnant. I can help you if it is too heavy."
He then looked at Gracie and said, "You can drive yourself back to the company. Ophelia and I will take a cab."
Gracie was very upset. Her eyes turned red and she said, "Tassach! Are you sure you want to do this to me? Your family and mine intended to bond each other by our marriage, and your mother said you're single, that was why I come back from abroad! Why are you giving me the shoulder?"
Tassach frowned, and he was already a little annoyed. He didn't take it out on her because there were too many people around. So he said, "Maybe we should discuss it later."
Gracie was so stubborn. She insisted that she needed to have the answer. So she yelled, "We have to get this clear today. Are you bailing on our engagement because of this woman?"
The on-lookers' eyes changed when they heard those words.
Tassach frowned and tried to persuade her, "Gracie, I have nothing to do with you. Don't be stupid and try to get more people involved in this. Ophelia and I are just friends. I won't love you even if she didn't exist. You're beautiful, rich, well-educated, and talented, you'll have enough pursuers in the future. Can't you just leave me alone? Or maybe we should cut off from each other."
Gracie sneered and said, "Tassach, I don't fall in love easily, but I'm having a crush on you now. Our family like to see us being together, so you have to marry me, or I'll never leave you."
As soon as she said that, Tassach frowned, and so did Ophelia.
