Drowning In His Deep Love (Re-edited) novel Chapter 27

Chapter 27 Failed to Seek Revenge for the Smallest Grievance

Her future mother-in-law was so generous.

Even if Florence didn't know how much the bracelet was worth, what she knew was that it was valuable.

Courtney was very enthusiastic. She liked Florence very much and couldn't help showing a smile on her face.

Florence calmed down and took a step back. "Madame, I can't take it."

She was not sure about the future with Alexander. Although they were in love now, she couldn't accept the gift.

"Why not? It's a gift from me for our first meeting. You should take it." Courtney pretended to be sad and said, "You refused to accept the gift. Does it mean that you don't like my son? Or you just don't like me as a your mother-in-law?"

When Courtney was talking, tears seemed to fall down from her eyes.

Florence felt completely at a loss. She had no experience of dealing with the future mother-in-law. She was completely confused now.

Thomas' mother talked to her in a strange voice because she did not like her before. She believed that Florence couldn't match Thomas.

Florence was in awe of the word "mother-in-law". She had thought that it would be hard to get along with Alexander's mother, but she never expected that Courtney would be so enthusiastic to her and she suddenly didn't know how to respond to such enthusiasm.

"Madame, you misunderstood me. I like you very much..."

Courtney was smiling and seemed to be easy to get along with. Of course, Florence liked her.

"Then it's all right. Take it." Courtney forced the bracelet on Florence’s palm, "This is a convention of the Logan family, we must accept the gift in the first meeting."

Florence was puzzled by the convention.

Florence also didn't want let Courtney down, so she thought that she could accept the bracelet now, and then give it back to Alexander.

"Well, I'll take it."

As Soon as Florence finished, a loud shout came from aside.

"Florence, what are you doing here? Why don't you do back to work."

Florence could tell who it was without looking back.

Since the bracelet issue last time, she and Emmett had a grudge against each other.

But Emmett was her boss. Florence said with a smile, "Mr. Connor, I asked for a half-day's leave. It's half past eleven in the morning. I'm still on break."

Florence could put up with difficulties, but she couldn't accept it if anyone deducted her money.

Florence had a nickname, money grubber .

"Mr. Connor, as a human being, we should be kind to others in everything, so that we can get along well with each other in the future. If you are too harsh to others, it's not good for anyone." Florence became angry and said in an indifferent tone, "Only villain will seek revenge for the smallest grievance. If the big boss know that his daughter falls in love with such a villain, your dream to be the son-in-law of big boss may be completely broken."

"Florence, you're threatening me." Emmett was angry and he pointed at Florence. "Who do you think you are?"

"I'm threatening you." Florence stared at Emmett, "Everyone leave their hometown to work in Croycor. It's not easy to survive in the world. I have tolerated you so many times. Mr. Connor, if you push me too hard, I'm not a coward either."

Their standoff attracted the attention of many people. When it was nearly lunchtime, many employees came out for lunch one by one. Seeing that Florence and Emmett were quarreling, they stopped to watch the farce.

Rumor had that Emmett was against Florence and it had already spread in the company.

Everyone was wondering when Florence would be kicked out from the company, and it looked like it would happen soon.

Evelyn was also planning to go out for dinner. When she saw Florence and Emmett, she quickly came over and said, "Mr. Connor, don't be angry. Florence has been under too much pressure recently, so she talks nonsense. Please don't take her words seriously."

"Florence, do you want to lose your job. Just apologize to Mr. Connor. You can quarrel with anyone but not money. It's unnecessary."

Emmett sneered, "Evelyn, you don't need to help her, Florence has a rich boyfriend now. That's why she talks in a different way. She is so confident that she cares about nobody. This company is too small for her. She might want to find a better platform."

Giselle held Christian and helped Emmett by saying, "Dad, it's not the first time for Florence to neglect her duty. I think we shouldn't keep this kind of irresponsible employees in the company."

It was a personal vendetta.

"I finished the paperwork yesterday." Florence looked at Evelyn. She had given the materials to Evelyn yesterday.

Evelyn quickly said, "Yes, Florence did arrange everything and asked me to hand it over to Mr. Connor, and I did so yesterday."

"I didn't get it." Emmett asked Evelyn, "Did you give it to me?"

"No." Evelyn shook her head and said, "Mr. Connor was not there, so I put it on the desk and sent you a message..."

"I haven't received any messages." Emmett snapped, "Florence, in order to evade responsibility, you are really sophistry."

Florence stared at Emmett's mean face and understood everything.

Emmett already set his mind on kicking her out of the company. Whatever she said was useless now.

And she also couldn't speak out the kickback thing in the public. This was a taboo in the industry. Once she exposed the truth about Emmett, then no company in the industry would dare to hire her.

Emmett looked fearless because he got supports from Giselle?

Even if there were rumors that the two were about to break up, at this point, they had to be on the same side.

Florence couldn't complain about anything because she had offended Giselle last time.

Florence knew everything deep down in her heart. She looked at Christian and said, "Mr. Sawyer, I did not shirk responsibility. You can ask the personnel department to investigate me."

Evelyn also spoke for Florence, "Mr. Sawyer, Florence has been working in the company for two years. She has been conscientious for so many years. Even if there is no contribution but she worked really hard."

Christian changed his expression, "The company doesn't need coolie. It's unnecessary to raise a group of useless people. Florence, right? You can go to the personnel department to settle your salary and leave."

How could a non-related employee compare to his own daughter?
