028 Stress
Didn't look angry and didn't look happy.
Aimee was asked to follow his mood now?
Then, what lecture was Aimee now hearing?
Sighed quietly and continued to listen. Aimee chose not to fight back.
"I know that you don't like me, and hate me. But, do you have to say it openly and bother me at night?"
Aimee lowered her head and bit her lip as there was no way for her to dodge.
"I'm sorry," Aimee said quietly.
Felt that she was constantly doing stupid and idiot things.
"I was.."
"Drunk?" continued Alfin.
He looked at Aimee's face with pleasure. He continued his words.
"Drunk and not aware of what you've said. Didn't mean to insult me and make fun of me. Did you want to say something like that, hem?"
Didn't answer right away and kept looking down, Aimee was sure whatever she said was wrong.
Raised her face and replied. Aimee gave a sweet smile behind her thin round glasses.
"Drunk people's words are untrustworthy!" Aimee said with high confidence.
Alfin narrowed his eyes.
"Oh, is that so? Then why are you drunk? Forgot if you still have to work today. I'm surprised you didn't come late again!"
"Yesterday and today are different!"
"Two days ago you weren't good at drinking alcohol. Then the day after that you managed to overcome that difficulty?"
Aimee moved her hands to the left and right to deny it.
"No, Mr. Alfin. Last night was my first time drinking and getting drunk. I've never touched that drink. It is just..."
Kept digging for information, Alfin followed Aimee's words.
"Just what?" asked Alfin.
"It's just... my mood suddenly went bad. And I subconsciously took a can of beer and drank it a few sips."
Stared more confidently. Aimee added.
"But, for God's sake! This is really my first time trying it. I do not lie!"
Alfin sighed, leaning his ass on the table and folding his arms.
"Is this project so difficult for you?" asked Alfin finally.
Aimee reflexively nodded. But a second later Aimee shook her head.
Alfin continued to stare in surprise.
"I know I'm incompetent. But giving me this job is plunging me deeper."
Alfin's heart was not moved at all.
"Well... it's good that you realized it," Alfin replied without feeling burdened.
Aimee looked at Alfin with an annoyed look.
"But, after I think again. There's no point in protesting or complaining. Isn't that right, Mr. Alfin?"
By nodding and confirming, Alfin did not reply to Aimee with words.
"Because of that.."
Linked her hands to beg.
"You must continue to help me until the end!" Aimee said with high hope and enthusiasm.
Alfin glanced up.
"Are you not wrong? The one who should help me a lot is you! Why did the situation turn around? Should I help you even though you are my subordinate?!"
Alfin showed his arrogance very clearly.
Made Aimee scratch her head which didn't itch at all.
"Uh, yes. Am I wrong, boss?"
Stared reluctantly and grinned.
Alfin touched his forehead which suddenly felt throbbing. Didn't understand how he could get a weird secretary like Aimee.
Alfin looked at Aimee again.
"Okay. I have made the decision. I will not change it or replace it. So, can you explain why you really don't want to be in this project? Even though all this time, regardless of how hard for me to give you a complicated job. You never argue with me, Aimee. Never!"
"I'm just stressed out, sir!"
"Stressed?"
Nodded and confirmed it through a gaze. Aimee smiled with a heavy heart.
Alfin became suspicious.
Could it be that Aimee knew about her dismissal?
Wanted to be angry. But Alfin wasn't the type of guy who would make it difficult for a woman no less cruel to Harry. Alfin decided to give in because Aimee's fate was on the line.
Had already appealed to Harry not to do anything reckless in Alfin's division. Harry ignored him instead. Be cold and bossy.
Alfin still remembered how cold Harry responded to Alfin's request.
"Haven't you been annoyed with your secretary all this time? She wasn't helping you or making your job easier. Aimee actually messed up your work?"
"Foolish enough for her to want to be handed a lot of work by lazy people like you."
Then added other unpleasant words.
In the end, Alfin couldn't negotiate the decision even though he wanted to keep Aimee. Because for Harry, rules were still rules.
Aimee's mistake was fatal and if continued to be collected. The company will only get lost. Then, did Harry ever sustain a loss in the company?
"I ordered you here to make sure that you won't repeat what happened last night," Alfin explained.
"Alright, I promise I won't do it again!"
"Then, apart from that. I want you to study the report."
Showed one side of the place and Aimee followed Alfin's direction.
Aimee looked back at Alfin.
"I… have to learn all of that?"
Pointed to all the stacks of files neatly lined up on Alfin's desk. Aimee felt her bones crumble.
Lost calcium and all the joints hurt.
Alfin responded casually.
"Why? Is it still not enough?"
She widened her eyes and looked up. Aimee said while holding the stress.
"How can that many reports be said to be not enough?"
Alfin gently patted the file near him.
"All of this has been simplified and will help you a lot. So, learn everything and you can ask me anything if you don't understand."
Alfin widened his smile.
"Then you can definitely rectify what you said about me being annoying and selfish, right?"
Aimee widened her eyes again and felt her throat suddenly constrict.
She began deeply regret her impulsive actions last night. She should not provoke problems and hatred from Alfin.
Now see what Aimee received because of that? ( there's a singing voice in her words )
Carried a pile of data and files that Aimee had not dared to open.
Doren and Elsa looked at Aimee in surprise as Aimee carried the pile of documents in her hands.
The two of them walked up to Aimee and asked.
"What pile of documents is that? Why are there so many and seem so difficult?"
Aimee sat limply and answered helplessly.
"This is a pile of archives about 'deluxe project 1' and 'deluxe project 2'."
Aimee buried her face on the bed.
Unable to bear the burden and wanted all of this to pass quickly.
