Lahat ng Kabanata ng Goodbye, Saintess.: Kabanata 121 - Kabanata 130

"Do you have any idea what this building costs? It will run you at least a few thousand dollars a month! Do you even understand how much that is? I need to see if you realize it far exceeds anything you could possibly have saved!"Mila's contempt deepened as she snickered. "How about you step out, and we pretend you never came? Stop fantasizing about playing business genius. The only business people like you could survive in is running a stall at a flea market!"I knew it. Mila hadn't changed. She still treated others like they were inferior to her, fueled by her sense of superiority.I frowned. "I'm not letting you walk over me just because you're Hera's friend, Mila. First warning: whether I can afford it or not, I'm a client, and you're a saleswoman at this property. Your job is to serve me—or lose it!"Even if Lucas hadn't arranged a meeting with the man in charge here, I still wouldn't have let her get away with this blatant disrespect."Oho! So you think you're a big shot no

"But let me make one thing clear, Mr. Caprio. This man isn't my friend at all. He's my best friend's ex-husband, and he came here to stir up trouble while pretending to be a client!" Mila snapped."He's nothing but a useless oaf who lived off his wife's money! He even threatened to divorce her not long ago, and now he's here to harass me!" she added, piling lie after lie onto me.David's expression changed as if he had finally pieced things together. His gaze hardened into hostility. "So you're just here to cause trouble?""Oh, that's not all!" Mila shot back with a smirk. "He bragged about bluffing you with a fake call, claiming he'd force you to fire me! Some people are so delusional they actually believe their own bullshit!"She glowed with triumph, like someone who had dodged death and now stood victorious. For one brief moment, Mila had thought she was finished. Thank God, her suspicions were right—it had only been a bluff.By sheer coincidence, David arrived right after Seba

Mila's face was drained of color. "Y-You have to be joking, right? H-How could s-someone like him know you, Mr. Caprio?!""Take her to HR. She's fired today. From now on, we will not hire anyone who looks down on a potential client," Frank ordered without bothering to argue.He gestured, and two security guards escorted Mila toward HR.David shivered. He hurried to Frank's side and scolded Mila as she was led away, "That's right! Mila wasn't only disrespectful. She was a terrible worker who never hit her targets! I've been wanting to fire her for a long time."I'm honored to meet you, Mr. Grimwald. You keep such a humble profile, but I knew you were different the moment I saw you! Please forgive me for treating you unfairly. Mila lied to me and took advantage of my ignorance!"I sneered. "I actually prefer you as an asshole rather than a sycophant, Mr. Supervisor.""Mr. Grimwald, I meant what I said! I sincerely regret my mistake—"Frank cut him off, unimpressed, "I don't want a

I had only a vague sense of who the crowd was from the CVs Baron had sent me."Everyone's here?" I asked, surprised.As if rehearsed, they greeted in unison. "Pleased to meet you, Mr. Grimwald!""The pleasure's mine. I know we've only just met, but I prefer to keep things casual rather than formal. Let's get along, shall we?" I said with a smile.Even so, I still hadn't grown used to the way they looked at me. Their eyes held absolute obedience and respect, all because I had effectively become their CEO. The thought that this marked the end of my life as a firefighter still felt unreal."Relax, everyone," Lucas said with a grin. "Mr. Grimwald is a kind employer, and a visionary too. Your future is going to be so bright! Now, start familiarizing yourselves with the place and get ready for work. Show him what you can do—and maybe you'll earn a raise soon!"He stepped into my office and handed me a folder. All my documents were inside. "Everything's complete, Mr. Grimwald. Your busi

I watched Terry scurry off, my frown deepening. I had never thought much of him to begin with."Jeanine, did he violate you? We can get you to a hospital. The company will cover the bill, and we can file a report with the police!" I said as soon as I sat back down.The other employees stared at me with awe before turning sympathetic eyes toward Jeanine."You're safe now, Jeanine! We'll help you get justice together!""That guy gave me the ick. He's a plague on society!""Good thing Mr. Grimwald was here. You're like One Punch Man!"Anyone could be scarred by harassment, even more so by violation from despicable men. Young, beautiful women like Jeanine were especially vulnerable.She rubbed her eyes and shook her head. "I'm okay. Thank you, everyone. Thank you, Mr. Grimwald.""I'm glad to hear that. Now, let's eat."I was about to take a bite when Lucas leaned close. "Sir, Terry Amos isn't just some spoiled trust fund kid.""So what? No one has the right to harass women," I sn
