Chapter 204\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cJason!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mr. Klein roared, his voice echoing down the hallway outside.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After he finished, his face turned pale and he clutched his\u00a0<\/p>\n
chest, his expression pained.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Only then did Jason look frightened. \u201cYou, don\u2019t be angry, Dad.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I\u2019ll apologize, okay?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He turned his head, his expression pained as he looked at\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeleine with extreme reluctance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sorry. I was blind. I listened to slander and said those\u00a0<\/p>\n
things to you. Just pretend I was farting. I apologize to you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As his words fell, he gave Madeleine a deep bow.\u00a0<\/p>\n
From start to finish, Madeleine\u2019s face showed no extra emotion,\u00a0<\/p>\n
nor did she look smug because of his apology.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After all, this was what she deserved. If you say the wrong\u00a0<\/p>\n
thing, you should pay the price for it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 204\u00a0<\/p>\n
She propped her elbows on her knees and sighed, resting her\u00a0<\/p>\n
chin in her hands.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYour apology isn\u2019t very sincere.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeleine, what more do you want!\u00a0<\/p>\n
?\u00a0<\/p>\n
11\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jason\u2019s patience had truly run out. He glared at Madeleine in frustration, but in the next second, he received an icy stare from\u00a0<\/p>\n
Roderick beside her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He instantly fell silent, shrinking his neck in fear.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeleine watched him, calculating for a moment before a\u00a0<\/p>\n
smile played on her lips. She turned her head and asked\u00a0<\/p>\n
Roderick:\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIs our company short a cleaner?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Roderick understood immediately and nodded. \u201cYes. In the\u00a0<\/p>\n
restrooms. We\u2019re short one.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 204\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gerry, standing by the door, raised a fist to his lips to hide a\u00a0<\/p>\n
laugh.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What a couple.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jason\u2019s expression instantly twisted, and he clenched his fists,\u00a0<\/p>\n
almost rushing forward.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2026 you want me to clean toilets?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHey, it sounds like Jason is volunteering himself.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeleine grinned, her smile brilliant.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou seem to have a very positive work attitude. Clean the\u00a0<\/p>\n
toilets for a month, and we\u2019ll consider this matter over. How\u00a0<\/p>\n
about it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t even think about it!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jason glared at them viciously.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He wanted nothing more than to go up there and tear them to\u00a0<\/p>\n
shreds!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing this, Madeleine put on a disappointed expression and\u00a0<\/p>\n
turned to look at Roderick.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 204\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHoney, he won\u2019t agree. It\u2019s not that I\u2019m not giving him a chance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Why don\u2019t you explain it to Mr. Klein?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mr. Klein immediately became anxious.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The company was waiting for that money from the bank.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Without it, the whole company would go under.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just when things were finally starting to look up, how could\u00a0<\/p>\n
this\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHe agrees, he agrees!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Without a second thought, he accepted on Jason\u2019s behalf.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCleaning the toilets for a month, right? I\u2019ll agree for this little brat. Don\u2019t worry, Mr. Livingston, Mrs. Livingston, he\u2019ll definitely\u00a0<\/p>\n
do a good job.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDad!?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jason\u2019s eyes widened in disbelief.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He, a wealthy overseas returnee, was actually going to clean toilets at the company of the woman he\u2019d slapped?\u00a0<\/p>\n
What would happen if word of this got out? How could he show his face anymore?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 204\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mr. Klein shot him a vicious look, leaned in, and warned through\u00a0<\/p>\n
gritted teeth:\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you dare to refuse, I\u2019ll ship you off to Africa right now, and\u00a0<\/p>\n
you\u2019ll never come back!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jason shuddered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He could tell this wasn\u2019t a joke, and a sense of fear rose up\u00a0<\/p>\n
inside him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After a long moment, under the expectant gazes of Roderick\u00a0<\/p>\n
and Madeleine, Jason gritted his teeth and agreed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll do it. I\u2019ll clean them.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s wonderful, Gerry.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gerry came in, holding back a laugh.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMa\u2019am, what are your instructions?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cRemember to tell the logistics department to check the\u00a0<\/p>\n
restroom hygiene every day from now on. If there are any\u00a0<\/p>\n
problems, they should go to Jason. Oh, right\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She looked up with a wide smile.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 204\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cJason, the Livingston Group is, after all, a top\u2013tier company in\u00a0<\/p>\n
the country. You should definitely put your work experience\u00a0<\/p>\n
here on your resume in the future~\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cPfft\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even a professional assistant like Gerry couldn\u2019t help but laugh\u00a0<\/p>\n
out loud.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Of course, he wouldn\u2019t admit he did it on purpose.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jason and his father already looked awful, but hearing Gerry\u2019s\u00a0<\/p>\n
laugh made their faces darken to a nasty shade.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But what could they do? They didn\u2019t dare say another word.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was no exaggeration to say that Roderick was the\u00a0<\/p>\n
executioner with his hand on their jugular. One wrong move and\u00a0<\/p>\n
they\u2019d be finished.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing that Jason didn\u2019t dare to speak anymore, Madeleine\u00a0<\/p>\n
waved her hand, finally in a good mood.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThen hurry up and go to HR to get processed. Don\u2019t worry, we\u00a0<\/p>\n
provide full Benefits. This will be a very distinguished entry on\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jason\u2019s resume.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 204\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jason and his father had no idea how they even got out of\u00a0<\/p>\n
Roderick\u2019s office.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After they\u2019d taken a few steps away, Madeleine, still inside,\u00a0<\/p>\n
heard Jason yell a loud \u201cFuck!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She couldn\u2019t hold it in anymore either, clutching her stomach\u00a0<\/p>\n
and bursting out laughing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAhhh, I can\u2019t take it, hahaha, my stomach\u2026 my stomach hurts.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
