Chapter 1789
Gavin's face was a picture of shock, “I thought your relationship was a typical office romance. But now, it seems it's a dramatic reunion after a broken relationship!"
Charlie seemed a bit annoyed, "A dramatic reunion implies there are cracks.
Emily and I are a perfect match!"
Gavin was left speechless by Charlie's response.
After Gavin left, Charlie called the head of the branch office, asking, "How is Elliott doing?"
The manager, surprised by Charlie's personal interest, immediately replied, "He's doing quite well, sir. I've been preparing to discuss a promotion and raise for him in the upcoming meeting."
Charlie's voice was ice cold, "No need. Fire him."
The manager was taken aback, "Fire him?"
"Yes. Terminate his contract, and compensate accordingly as stipulated. He's dismissed” Charlie's tone was firm and decisive.
“Understood, sir"
For the rest of the morning, Charlie reviewed documents while Kya sat next to him, engrossed in her drawings. The heartwarming scene made everyone who came to get his signature tread lightly.
When Kya got tired of drawing, Charlie picked her up and let her run and play in the office. She was thoroughly enjoying herself.
The James family.
Although Kya had only been at home for a few days, Mrs. James felt empty without her. She couldn't muster the energy to do anything.
Mr. James spent some time in Kya's playroom upstairs. When he came down, he asked Mrs. James, "Is the nanny we hired for Kya reliable? Is she a professional childminder?"
"I heard she's competent,’ Mrs. James replied blankly, then added, "I think I need to talk to Ms. Sullivan.
Mr. James didn't agree with her approaching the Sullivans family directly; he believed that Charlie should handle this matter on his own.
But Mrs. James couldn't bear not seeing Kya and felt the need to take action.
Around noon, Mrs. James called Bard and asked him to take her to the Elliott's house.
Through Barret's connections at the branch office, they were able to ascertain the Sullivan's address.
Upon reaching their destination, Gina and Bonnie were both home. However, their expressions soured when they saw Bard.
“What do you want?” Gina's face clearly showed her displeasure.
She recognized the man as the head of OrbitaTech Ventures. They had met at the hospital before. The woman accompanying him, who appeared to be around fifty, exuded elegance with a well-maintained demeanor. It was clear she was not an ordinary person.
Could it be that Emily couldn't afford the losses from the fire, so the company’s representatives had come to their home? How did they know she lives here?
