Following that, the pale-faced receptionists immediately knelt before Zivon and even began slapping themselves! Though it was clear that they had reflected on their mistakes, Zivon’s frigid expression didn’t change in the slightest.
Instead, he simply replied, “Forgiveness doesn’t exist in my dictionary. With that said, head to the finance department to get the rest of your wages. From today onward, the Burton Group and any companies associated with us will never hire you two.”
With that said, the prestigious man entered the elevator, leaving the two receptionists utterly dumbfounded! Though they were simply receptionists, only elites—who had graduated from the best schools—were hired by the Burton Group. Elites that had great abilities, and had to undergo fierce competition just to make it here. God knew how much effort they had poured in just to get this job… To think that they were actually getting kicked out now…!
Unwilling to just accept that, the secretaries then turned to face Nathan while pleading, “W-we understand that what we did was wrong, secretary Miller…! Please, help us…!”
“It wasn’t even that big of a mistake…! Please, secretary Miller…!” whimpered the other secretary as two knelt before the speechless butler.
While it was true that they hadn’t made any major mistakes, they had unfortunately talked about Xavia, Zivon’s ultimate sore point… With that in mind, forget saving the two, once they were driven off, Nathan would surely be in for a miserable day…
Understanding that, all Nathan could do was reply, “…My condolences, but I’m going to be in great trouble myself after this…
Moving back to Xavia, she soon arrived at the construction site that appeared to be developing a suburban building. There were many helmet-wearing workers busily moving up and down the site, and though the sun wasn’t all that bright, their clothes were drenched in sweat…
It was at that moment when she recalled what Zivon had said the other day. True enough, the Burton Group was responsible for feeding countless people, and as their boss, it was Zivon’s duty to create good projects and solve all the problems that came up. With that in mind, regardless of whether he had simply been spiteful or not that night, Xavia knew she couldn’t really make baseless accusations like that anymore…
Her train of thought was cut short when she heard a secretary call out, “Miss? Young Master Keith told me to lead you to the project office. You can wait for him there.”
Not wanting to waste the busy-looking secretary’s time, Xavia simply replied, “I’m not heading in. I have other things to deal with today. Please just pass this breakfast to him for me…”
“But… Young Master Keith said that has something to say to you…”
