Chapter 98 You’re Fired
“The company will have a new expense after his arrival.”
Cherise was initially slightly annoyed by the discussions that filled the scene. Still, she felt more uncomfortable after hearing what the man said.
But she maintained her restraint and manners. “A new expense?”
“Yes.”
The man looked up at Damien in the wheelchair with a taunting smile on the corners of his l*ps. “A new expense of inviting someone to conduct an exorcism.”
The meeting room erupted into loud laughter after the middle-aged man spoke.
Cherise’s hands clenched into tight fists by her side.
“This is Marvin Osmer. He’s a senior employee in our company’s planning department. All our company’s investment projects go through him.”
Bernard went to Cherise’s side and reminded her in a low voice, “He has a lot of henchmen in the company. You just started working here, so you can’t offend him.”
“If he’s unhappy and takes them with him to seek refuge in another company, we’ll be
finished!”
Bernard sighed. “Ms. Shaw, you should just bear with it.”
Marvin was used to dominating the company with his abilities and vast connections. Even Randall couldn’t do anything about him previously, so Cherise couldn’t afford to offend him!
“You’re fired.”
Cherise said coldly after taking a deep breath.
The meeting room instantly quietened. There was a pin-drop silence.
Everyone was astonished.
Although Cherise wants to make bold changes after taking office, she shouldn’t destroy a foundation in the company, right?
Even our previous boss, Randall, could only turn a blind eye to Marvin. But Cherise wants to fire him on the second day after she a*sumed the position?

Marvin never thought that Cherise would fire him. He stood on the spot, stunned, before. he laughed lightly. “Little Miss Shaw is truly young and fearless. Do you know what my presence in the company means?”
Cherise flattened her l*ps. “Do I care what it means?”
Her eyes were bright, and she glared at Marvin stubbornly. “I make the decisions in the company now.”
“You can’t be so archaic and superstitious, and you can’t insult my husband!”
The petite woman held her head high a*sertively. “Also, everyone here should listen. carefully. Damien Lenoir is my husband. I won’t allow anyone to speak badly about him!”
“If you think my husband is unlucky, you can go to the human resources department for your last paycheck, like Mr. Osmer!”
After Cherise spoke, Marvin’s face instantly fell.
He threw the proposal he had prepared today on the table and glared at Cherise furiously. “What do you mean?”
“Are
you firing an old employee after taking office?”
“You won’t go far like this!”
Cherise pursed her l*ps and looked at him with an icy gaze. “I don’t know if I can go far. but I know that you must be polite no matter how capable you are.”
Marvin’s face paled.
But Cherise continued speaking like she didn’t see it. “You used these groundless. accusations to mock my husband without knowing anything. From what I can see, no matter how capable you are, you’re immoral and disrespectful.”
Marvin sneered. “A bearer of bad luck wants respect from others?”
Cherise gritted her teeth, and her gaze directed at him turned colder. “My husband has met with adversity since birth and was still a child when those incidents happened. How is he a bearer of bad luck?”
“He has no close relatives, and his remaining family treats him with disdain. When he was thirteen years old, his eyes and legs were injured. It’s unfortunate.”
“You’re using other people’s painful memories to ridicule them. So much for your character. I don’t need such an employee. Please pack up and leave!”
