Chapter 25
Harold turned to question Kayden coldly, “Am I fired? I remember that if the company fires employees, it must be signed and approved by the people at the manager level. What right does Gary have to fire me as a supervisor?”
Just as Harold wanted to turn to go and look for the manager, the door to Gary's office suddenly flung open.
Brittany and Gary walked out of the office as they talked and laughed.
Brittany was still as pretty as ever. Those alluring eyes could charm any man.
Harold's emotions became complicated upon seeing Brittany.
For the past five years, he had thought that Brittany was that little girl back then and helped her a lot.
He paid most of the down payment for her house.
He also paid for the capital for her parents to grow greenhouse vegetables in the suburbs. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
Moreover, he often gave some pocket money to Gordon, her brother.
Like those simps online, Harold had spent most of his hard-earned money on Brittany and her family over the past five years.
Nonetheless, Brittany's attitude toward him was hot and cold, and he was no better than a backup guy
for her.
Even when they were out having a meal at high-class restaurants, Brittany would only take pictures of the food and never him.
During every festive season, she would demand monetary gifts from him. She also wanted the amount to be a symbolic figure.
If he didn't give her enough, she would throw a tantrum.
In May last year, Harold had just received his monthly salary when Gordon came and “borrowed” all of it.
Hence, due to financial constraints, Harold could only give Brittany a small monetary gift on the romantic holiday in May.
However, Brittany was dissatisfied and slapped Harold in front of everyone in the company.
None of those mattered to Harold.
At most, other people would assume that Brittany was merely pretentious and loved vanity.
What really angered Harold was that when he asked about the walnut bracelet, Brittany lied and said it was hers.
Therefore, ever since he found out the truth, Harold had felt deceived.
Gary yelled, “You have been fired, so what are you doing here, Harold? Brittany agreed to be my girlfriend yesterday, so please get lost. If I see you coming to harass Brittany again, I'll break both your legs!”
Upon seeing the way Harold looked at Brittany, Gary thought that Harold had regretted breaking up with her and wanted to get back with her.
He quickly stepped forward as he warned Harold smugly and grabbed Harold by the collar of his shirt. Then, he pulled hard at the collar.
But no matter how hard he pulled, Harold didn't even budge.
Instead, he stumbled back a few short steps when Harold pushed him back lightly on his shoulder.
The entire scene was embarrassingly awkward, but no one dared to laugh at him.
Upon seeing Gary in distress, Brittany's eyes flashed in disgust. However, she quickly covered it up.
Similar to Gary, she thought that Harold wanted to have her back.
That was because after leaving their house that day, Harold and Isabella did not show up at the wedding venue.
According to her understanding of Isabella, Isabella only had eyes for brilliant beings. She would only fall for heroes like Harold, the God of War.
As for unpromising garbage like Harold, she wouldn't even pay attention to him.
That day, Isabella was probably only helping Harold with something and merely took the opportunity to piss her off.
At the thought of Harold slapping her in front of so many people the other day and humiliating her, Brittany's blood began to boil.
Without a word, she stepped forward, raised her hand, and swung it toward Harold's face.
