Spoiled by Mr. Russell novel Chapter 188

Chapter 188

“Try again! If you still can‘t get through, go to her house and drag her here! How dare she skip coming to work?!” Nathaniel rebuked, but he felt he had not fully expressed his anger. After pondering for a moment, he said, “Forget it. I‘ll do it myself!” Then he drove back to the company and headed straight to the HR Department as soon as he arrived. “Get me Olivia Hart‘s information. She left her position without getting prior approval from higher management. Tell the Legal Department to devise the appropriate punishment and compensation for this case.”

One of the executives from the HR Department looked at Nathaniel and said, “Mr. Hall, Olivia submitted her resignation letter more than a month ago. According to the Labor Law, she can leave her job position 30 days after submitting her resignation letter regardless of your approval.”

“What kind of stupid law is that? Why haven‘t I heard of it before?” Nathaniel was astonished as this was not something he had expected. He was under the impression that Olivia would remain an employee of the company if he did not sign her resignation letter. Upon hearing what the HR executive said, Nathaniel felt fury burning within him. “That is what the Labor Law states.” The executive‘s voice diminished. No matter how furious Nathaniel was, that was the law set by the government. “Then... she can just leave as she wishes? Is there nothing the company can do?” Nathaniel could not believe that there was nothing his company could do to a mere employee. “She hasn‘t taken her pay and bonus from last month,” the executive browsed through the documents and said.

“Deduct it!” Nathaniel ordered without any hesitation.

“Due to the unique nature of her work before this, we can require her to sign a non–compete clause.”

In a hurry, she rushed to the lab. She told Olivia to report there today and get familiar with the work environment first. Unfortunately, she was still late to meet Olivia. When she arrived at the door breathlessly, Olivia was already there, chatting away with Jenny.

Lily was unsure how long Olivia had been here, but looking at the two chatting happily, it seemed they had known each other for years. Jenny turned around upon hearing some movements. Smiling, she said, “Wow! Our workaholic is actually late today.”
