Chapter 841: The Helpless Quenna

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Miss Carver’s expression became tense after hearing Clyde’s words.

She stuttered and said to Clyde, “Mr. Clyde, this matter is indeed the responsibility of our secretary department. I admit that it was our negligence in work…”

“Negligence? Do you think everything will be fine just by saying it was negligence?”

Clyde stared with wide eyes and shouted, then continued, “Fortunately, Mr. Connor and Mr. Thomas haven’t arrived yet. If they were here, can you bear this responsibility? Are you telling me that you, as the manager of the secretary department, don’t want to work anymore?”

“Yes, Miss Carver, you have been an old employee of our company. How could you make such a mistake?”

“For such an important task, you entrusted it to these two people. What is going on? It’s the first time Mr. Connor is coming to our company for a shareholders’ meeting. If he sees this, he might think that our company doesn’t value this shareholders’ meeting enough!”

The other shareholders also stood up and started reprimanding Miss Carver in a cacophony of voices.

Miss Carver, however, kept her head down and remained silent.

After seeing this scene, Quenna naturally felt very guilty. She believed that all of this happened because of her. If it wasn’t for her being late, things would not have escalated like this.

“Alright, the shareholders’ meeting is about to start, and I’m not in the mood to waste time here with you all. How do you intend to handle Miss Carver?”

Clyde looked at the time and asked her expressionlessly.

After hearing this, Miss Carver couldn’t help but pause for a moment. She then looked up at Clyde and asked softly, “Mr. Clyde, what do you think is an appropriate way to handle it?”

“Just fire her directly. Our company doesn’t need employees like this!”

Clyde didn’t hesitate at all and shouted directly.

“That’s right, this kind of employee should never have been hired in the first place…”

The other shareholders also chimed in.

Upon hearing their words, Quenna’s expression turned extremely desperate. She stood still, feeling at a loss for what to do.

Although Quenna had a premonition about this, she never expected that Clyde and the others would actually want to fire her.

Miss Carver turned her head and glanced at Quenna, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes. He whispered, “Mr. Clyde, isn’t this punishment too severe?”

“Severe?,” Clyde sneered, then continued, “I don’t think it’s too severe. A large company should have the appearance of a large company. I believe our company has too many people like her, which has led to the current situation. Firing her today is also a warning to others. Our company will never tolerate idle or incompetent employees. Those without ability or a careless attitude must be eliminated…”

Miss Carver looked at Clyde in front of her, and her expression seemed somewhat conflicted.

She then spoke softly, “Mr. Clyde, in fact, Quenna’s work attitude is usually quite good…”

“Her work attitude is good? Then why couldn’t she handle this small matter properly?”

Clyde asked coldly.

“Yes, Miss Carver, this kind of person should be fired directly…”

“Our company doesn’t lack people, finding someone better than her is as easy as pie. There’s no need to keep this person!”

The other shareholders also shouted at Miss Carver.

Meanwhile, Quenna stood in despair, looking extremely helpless, unsure of what to do.

At this moment, it seemed that only Miss Carver was speaking up for Quenna. The rest of the people wanted to get rid of Quenna directly.

Miss Carver saw that the shareholders were so agitated and took a deep breath before speaking, “Gentlemen, please calm down. Here’s what happened, Quenna did make a mistake today, but we can’t solely blame her. It’s also my fault for not anticipating such a large number of documents. Assigning all this work to Quenna alone is also my negligence. If there has to be a punishment, then punish me instead!”

After hearing Miss Carver’s words, Clyde was stunned, his expression filled with disbelief.

Because they never expected Miss Carver to dare say such a thing!

Connor also looked at Miss Carver with a surprised expression. He didn’t expect Miss Carver to voluntarily take responsibility. This changed Connor’s perception of her.

Quenna, too, wore a look of disbelief. If there was a romantic relationship between Quenna and Miss Carver, she might not have been so shocked.

But they were not familiar with each other at all, and they had no personal connection. They were just in a regular superior-subordinate relationship.

“Miss Carver, are you trying to take responsibility on behalf of this person?”

Clyde squinted his eyes and asked her.

“This matter is originally my responsibility. Our secretary department is understaffed, and I let Quenna handle so much printing work alone. Mr. Clyde, if you really want to punish someone, then punish me!”

Miss Carver replied in a low voice.

She knew deep down that even if the shareholders punished him, at most, they would deduct some of his salary. They wouldn’t fire her. After all, she had been with the company for many years, and even Thomas would not agree to her dismissal over such a small matter.

Clyde looked her up and down, his face expressionless, and said, “Miss Carver, what do you mean by this?”

“Mr. Clyde, can you give me some face today? The young girl is having a hard time alone…”

Miss Carver said with a smile.

After hesitating for a moment, Clyde spoke in a low voice, “Miss Carver, you are found guilty of work negligence. Your salary will be deducted for one month. As for that woman, deduct her salary for six months, cancel her year-end bonus, and she will not be eligible for promotion for two years…”

“Thank you, Mr. Clyde! Thank you, Mr. Clyde!”

After hearing Clyde’s words, Miss Carver felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders and quickly shouted in relief.

Quenna’s face was also filled with excitement. Although she had lost six months’ worth of salary, she had managed to keep her job, which was a stroke of luck amidst the misfortune.

“Quenna, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and thank Mr. Clyde!”

Miss Carver turned his head, glanced at Quenna, and frowned as he shouted at her.

Quenna couldn’t help but pause for a moment when she heard this, then quickly spoke up to Clyde, “Thank you…”

But before Quenna could finish her sentence, she suddenly felt someone tugging her.

Connor walked up to her, then, with an expressionless face, said, “He deducted six months’ worth of your salary, and you still have to thank him. Isn’t that a bit too much of punishment…”
