Chapter 50 You\u2019re Fired\u00a0<\/p>\n
It turned out to be someone familiar.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Well, \u201cfamiliar\u201d only on one side. She knew Skyla, but Skyla had no idea who she was.\u00a0<\/p>\n
John pushed the door open, and Halle walked in.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Skyla heard the sound, looked over, and when she saw Halle, she didn\u2019t bother standing up. She just nodded at her as a greeting.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Halle sat across from Skyla and glanced at John, signaling him to introduce them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMs. Kinsman, this is Skyla Summer. She graduated with honors in Computer Science from Agron University and is now a PhD student at Moblosia Ivy University. We were classmates in college, and she was actually five years ahead of you, so technically she\u2019s your senior.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
In university, Skyla\u2019s grades were decent. When she graduated, she wrote an impressive thesis and got an offer from a top university abroad, so she became one of the outstanding graduates.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Skyla was also pretty-basically the campus belle.\u00a0<\/p>\n
John had a crush on her at first. But after realizing their status difference, he gave up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So Skyla became his unattainable dream girl.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now his dream girl was suddenly asking him for help. Of course, he wouldn\u2019t say no.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After the introduction, Halle was supposed to greet Skyla. That would\u2019ve been the normal social move.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Halle gave Skyla a quick look, ignored her, and then turned to John instead. \u201cWhy is she looking for me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Skyla frowned.\u00a0<\/p>\n
John froze, too. He could feel the tension rising and immediately started sweating. \u201cI-I don\u2019t\u00a0<\/p>\n
know.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He looked at Skyla, a little awkward. \u201cUh, maybe you should explain?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Skyla met Halle\u2019s uninterested gaze. Halle wasn\u2019t warm, wasn\u2019t curious, and had zero intention of getting to know her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Does she seriously not know who I am?\u00a0<\/p>\n
1\/3\u00a0<\/p>\n
TINTICE CUITS\u00a0<\/p>\n
Skyla had been hanging around Troy these past few days. In Trensea\u2019s upper circle, almost\u00a0<\/p>\n
knew she was connected to the Winston Group. People were lining up to fawn over\u00a0<\/p>\n
everyone her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even Rolf, the richest man\u2019s son, had to ask her for favors.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Halle\u2019s attitude caught her off guard.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Was it because Halle wasn\u2019t qualified to enter high society? Or was she just young and rebellious, acting cocky just to put on a show and score a tiny bit of dignity for herself?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Skyla looked Halle over, pushed down her irritation, and said calmly, \u201cI\u2019m here to ask your company for a small favor.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Since she took the initiative to speak, Halle should\u2019ve at least asked what the favor was.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Halle remained silent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Skyla grew even more annoyed, but didn\u2019t show it. \u201cI\u2019m the R&D lead at Norris Payne\u2019s laboratory. We hit a roadblock in our project. Professor Payne has already contacted you, so you should know the details, Ms. Kinsman. I\u2019m here today hoping you would do me the honor of assisting.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Halle suddenly smiled and asked, \u201cOh? Whose honor exactly?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Skyla finally frowned. \u201cMs. Kinsman, do you really not know who I am?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She looked at John, her voice turning cold. \u201cExplain it properly to Ms. Kinsman.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
John was just about to speak.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Halle cut him off. \u201cNo need.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Skyla narrowed her eyes at Halle.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Halle said, \u201cSince Professor Payne sent you here to run errands, you can go back. I\u2019ll talk to Professor Payne directly. You\u2019re just a team lead. You\u2019re not qualified to discuss this with me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Run errands?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Not qualified?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Skyla sneered. \u201cMs. Kinsman, do you have a problem with me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Halle didn\u2019t bother listening to her nonsense. She stood up, looked at John, and ordered coldly, \u201cTake your errand-runner classmate out. Then come to my office.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
2\/3\u00a0<\/p>\n
As she left, she glanced at Skyla and added to Jon, \u201cThis is a company, not a reunion venue. Got it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
John\u2019s hands tightened instantly. Watching Halle walk out, a bad feeling washed over him. When he turned back, Skyla\u2019s face was dark.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He felt even more pressure. \u201cS-Skyla\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Skyla stood up abruptly, her gaze icy as she stared in the direction Halle had left.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHalle Kinsman, right?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I\u2019ll remember this!\u00a0<\/p>\n
John quickly said, \u201cDon\u2019t be mad. I\u2019ll go talk to Ms. Kinsman again-\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Halle didn\u2019t even spare John a glance and walked out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
John didn\u2019t even get the chance to follow her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t take it personally. The campus belle was always aloof. Ignoring him was normal.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If she ever glanced at him one more time, he\u2019d probably pass out from happiness.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He could still remember how fast his heart was beating when Skyla called him a week ago.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That\u2019s why he wanted to help her and make her happy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But now, it was obvious he had messed everything up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Pale-faced and feeling anxious, John went to Halle\u2019s office.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The woman sitting on the couch with her back to the door was still there.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Halle was in her boss\u2019s chair, staring at him coldly, with more pressure than usual.\u00a0<\/p>\n
John didn\u2019t dare look up. \u201cMs. Kinsman.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re fired.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
John froze. \u201cWhy?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Halle said, \u201cI don\u2019t owe you an explanation. Let\u2019s just say you\u2019re unlucky. Go to HR. Whatever pay you\u2019re owed, you\u2019ll get every cent.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fild=\u00a0<\/p>\n
