I was furious when he said no. That was the only time he had spoken to me gently when I seethed silently in a corner.
“It’s not that I don’t want to pull some strings, but we only hire postgraduates, and you’re just an undergraduate.”
At that time, I glared at him in indignation.
“I was guaranteed a postgraduate position but didn’t go for my studies because of special circumstances. Have you forgotten that?”
Samuel sighed. “But in the end, you didn’t go, did you?”
I could not argue after that because it was true that I did not go for further studies.
“I thought your company only takes in postgraduates,” I said coolly.
I realized that I was insulting myself by saying that.
Samuel did not answer, only glaring at me in dissatisfaction.
I sucked in a deep breath before looking at Mia.
“Please step out. I need to discuss some things with Mr. Gardner.”
Mia nodded, but Samuel grabbed her as she was walking out.
“Her office is here. Where is she supposed to go?” His frown deepened.
I was not expecting Samuel to show me such blatant disrespect, but I did not want to appear undignified, so I just brushed aside the bitterness in my heart. “If that’s the case, shall we talk in the meeting room?”
Samuel said nothing and just left.
I said nothing to Mia and followed him into the meeting room.
He sat at the head of the table and stared at me like he had already won.
“So, why are you here?”
“Why didn’t you come to the courthouse?”
Honestly, I thought that it was unnecessary to even ask that question. “Are you seriously going to protect her to this extent?”
Samuel said, “I’m not doing it to protect her…”
