Aaron chuckled. “Don’t worry! This isn’t about you or me.”
Marcus was even more nervous after he said that. “Then you are calling me because…?”
“You sound like you’re outside. Are you not in the office?” drawled Aaron.
“It’s lunch break, Mister Aaron, so I came out to have lunch.”
“With your girlfriend?” asked Aaron with a smile.
“Y…Yes. I’ll be sure to get back before lunch break is over.”
Aaron’s smile deepened. “You don’t have to be this nervous. I didn’t call you to rush you back. But can I ask, which
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtrestaurant you guys are going to?”
As odd as Marcus thought for Aaron to ask him that question, he did not dare to lie to him, so he looked up at the
restaurant signage and read out the name to Aaron.
At that moment, Annie turned around and realized Marcus was not following her. She walked back to him and
asked, “Marcus, why are you standing here? Uncle Jeremy and Corinne have gone in.”
Marcus covered his phone and whispered, “I’m on the phone with Mister Aaron now.”
Annie’s face darkened a little when she heard that. “Why is that b*stard calling you? Is he causing you any trouble?”
Marcus shook his head. “No, it’s not like that. Just stay quiet for a bit. I’ll tell you everything after I’ve finished talking
to him.”
Afraid that Aaron would hear what Annie said, Marcus walked a little distance away before taking his hand off his
phone. “Mister Aaron, I’ll be back to the office soon. Is there anything else I can help you with?”
Aaron had indeed heard everything Annie said. He chuckled softly and replied, “Nope. That’s all. Tell your girlfriend
that I’m going to fire you if she calls me a b*stard one more time.”
After that, he hung up the phone.
A chill ran up Marcus’ spine. Not knowing what to do, he stood there frozen with his phone in his hand. ‘Sh*t! He
heard what Annie said. He’s not really going to fire me, is he?!’
Wondering what was taking Marcus so long, Annie walked over to him and asked, “What’s the matter? What exactly
does he want? Why is it taking so long?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMarcus snapped out of his shock and said dismayingly, “Annie, Mister Aaron heard you called him a b*stard.”
Annie was stunned, but she then rolled her eyes. “So what if he heard? It’s not like he could do anything to me.”
Marcus smiled bitterly. “You’re right. He can’t do anything to you since you’re not working for him anymore, but he
said he’s going to fire me…”
Annie started to panic. “Did he say that?”
Marcus nodded.
Annie reached out her hand. “Give your phone to me.”
Marcus did not know what she was going to do, but he gave the phone nonetheless.
Annie immediately called Aaron back after she got the phone.
