I've Been There Before

Chapter 53 Mr. Xu, You Are Fired!

Gloria strode to the PR department at a quick pace and swept by others like the wind. And the crowd was confused, "What's wrong with Gloria?"

"I don't have any clue."

"She seems to be heading for the PR department."

"Could it be that janitor did something again?"

"You shouldn’t talk about Grace James behind her back like this. She works hard and conscientiously. And she isn’t in your way." Annie snapped with dissatisfaction, "We are all waiters. And all we need to do is do our job well. If your words cause any trouble, no one can save you."

After saying that, she looked at Ruby Carter, who looked absent-minded in the corner, "Quickly go to table number three. The guests are complaining about you, saying that you haven’t sent the drinks they have ordered over for long."

Ruby was trembling with fear. After she came back from that box on the sixth floor, something was obviously not quite right with her. She looked around at the expressions of her colleagues surrounding her, all of whom did not seem to have known what had happened in the box. Moreover, they didn’t even know that something so huge had happened on the sixth floor and the water had flown all over the floor.

Without deliberation, Ruby knew that the higher-ups must have blocked the news.

So at this moment, among all the staff of the Royal Club, only Ruby Carter knew what had happened the best.

Perhaps, there were also some staff members who knew about the unusual thing happening on the sixth floor. After all, when the thing happened, many boxes on the sixth floor were open to the public.

Moreover, the water, in the end, broke open the door of the box and flooded everywhere along the corridor.

But Ruby instantly knew that these people in the know must have been warned not to reveal it.

She was scared as she was shaking with anger.

Now that Annie spoke, Ruby vented her fear and anger all of a sudden, "Annie, when you're scolding others, you should think about yourself first. Have you ever done your job well?"

"How come I haven’t done my job properly?" Annie was hot-tempered. Of course, she wouldn't give in to Ruby.

"You were supposed to be in charge of a box on the sixth floor today, right? So why didn't you go there by yourself and end up letting me go there?" Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been involved in all this mess now.

Thinking about it that way made her feel that she was even more likely to have taken the blame for Annie today.

"Annie, you should at least thank me."

Annie looked at Ruby as if she were staring at an idiot, "You're sick, right?" She thought, “Why should I thank Ruby? Should I thank her because of the fact that she went to the box on the 6th floor on my behalf?”

"Psycho. Why should I thank you? The guests in the boxes on the sixth floor have always spent the biggest. I've somehow been replaced inexplicably. How come I have to say thank you? In my opinion, either I'm dreaming or you have been out of your mind."

What a joke!

"You, you have no idea!" Ruby pointed at Annie with her red eyes, "You don't know anything! You don't even know that today, today… "

"What are you trying to say?"

Annie raised her eyebrows. She had been upset with this Ruby Carter early. In Annie’s opinion, although this woman had an innocent face and thought that she was really a pure and flawless Snow White princess. She was neurotic all day long. When it came to getting things done, she was selfish and disregarded others.

Ruby was so angry that her eyes were red. But she couldn't say anything. Although such a huge issue had happened on the sixth floor, up to now, it was still quiet inside the Royal Club and there wasn’t any noise. And others looked like they didn't know anything. In that case, however stupid Ruby was, she knew that she couldn't disclose the issue.

"Please don’t look at me like that. Your eyes are as red as those of a rabbit. If others see it, they'll think I'm bullying you." Annie finished her words in a slightly mocking manner, turned around, and walked away without paying any attention to Ruby at all.

...

Gloria galloped along the way. After she arrived at the area where the PR Department was, she walked faster and more anxiously.

“Knock! knock! Knock!” As her high heel shoes tapped on the floor made up of marble stones, there was an indignant look on Gloria’s blushing face. All the staff in the PR Department watched Gloria head for the office of the Manager of the PR Department straight away, feeling frightened. "Bang!"

There came a loud kicking on the door as well as a roar, "Manager Xu, I want you to give me an explanation!"

Manager Xu was taken aback and stared in confusion at Gloria, who had shown up all of a sudden, "Gloria, why are you doing this?"

“Bang!” Gloria walked into the office and immediately slammed the door, blocking out the stares of those who were measuring her either intentionally or unintentionally.

She stood at the door with her arms around her chest and looked at Manager Xu indifferently, "Did anybody authorize you to take the initiative to arrange work for Grace James? Didn't you know she was still sick? Did you get my permission?"

As soon as Manager Xu heard that Gloria was here again for Grace's matter, she felt relieved as well as dissatisfied, "Gloria, anyway, I'm the manager of the PR department. Could it be that I don't even have the right to arrange the work of one of my employees?"

Moreover, she didn't even arrange any work for Grace today. Even if she did, it was her right as Grace's immediate supervisor.

"Oh, Manager Xu, what you said is so reasonable, which I can't even refute. How about this? Manager Xu, you don't have to come to work tomorrow."

Immediately, Manager Xu looked sharply at Gloria, "Gloria, what do you mean by that?" She thought, “Did Gloria intend to fire me right away because of the fact that I scheduled an employee to work in her sickness?” NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

"Manager Xu, it literally means that you don't need to come to work tomorrow. Neither do you have to report the day after tomorrow and the days after that. Manager Xu, if you still don't get my point, I will directly say ‘You're Fired’." Gloria couldn't be more furious as she tilted her chin up with a sneer, "Do you understand now?"

“Bang!” Manager Xu trembled with anger and stood up as she pounded on the table with her palm, "Gloria, you have crossed the line! What kind of mistake did I make? How come you could fire me at your free will?"

"Did I ask you to arrange a task for Grace James? You're her immediate superior. She's sick. And how come you don't even know about it?"

"If she is sick, she can request to be on leave. But since she's here and has clocked in at the Royal Club, she must work despite the fact that she is sick."

Gloria sneered. Although she didn't agree with the fact that this one surnamed Xu would arrange work for the sick employees, she was in favor of her words.

So, if manager Xu had just arranged a task for that idiot, Gloria wouldn't have a problem with it.

But the problem lied in what kind of task she had assigned to Grace James!

"So you transferred an employee who was getting sick to the box on the sixth floor where Langston Du was, right?" Gloria sarcastically said, "Outsiders don't know who Langston Du is. Manager Xu, could it be that you, who have been working at Royal Club for several years, don't know who he is in essence?"

She angrily reprimanded Manager Xu, "The stitches on Grace’s head are not yet removed yet. And you still let her go to Langston Du’s box. Langston Du plays crazy games and has perverted preferences. There is no telling as to how many girls have died in his hands.

Langston Du is rich and can settle everything.

So what? In your opinion, Grace needs money and Langston Du isn't short of money. So you threw her to the front of Langston Du and let her perform Immortal Drowning for that pervert, right?"

At first, Manager Xu was furious and thought that Gloria was excessive. However, as Gloria went on talking, the look on Manager Xu's face became uglier and uglier. And cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

"I'll tell you another secret," With malice, Gloria deliberately revealed this matter that should not have been known by someone at Manager Xu's level as she whispered beside Manager Xu's ear, "Grace James did have drowned. That container of water was malfunctioning and couldn't be opened. "

What she had said made Manager Xu feel that her clothes on her back had been soaked through by the cold sweats. Then Gloria’s next sentence scared Manager Xu so much that she directly collapsed to the ground.

"Do you know who rescued Grace James in the end?" Gloria blurted out, "Big Boss."
