Chapter 50: Delivering the waiver
Estrella took a deep breath. She knew how she explained herself now, Adam did not believe her. She had accepted the consequence, -Mr. Adam, the loss was caused by me and I am at your disposal.
Adam’s eyes darkened and he scoffed, -The total loss is almost $300 million. Do you think that even if I sell you, you can make up this $300 million?
Three hundred million … It was likely that he could not even pay the change for this money. He would rather go to jail than compensate 300 million dollars.
Estrella perked up, pursed her lips and said, “I made such a serious mistake, so why don’t you fire me, Mr. Adam?
It was obvious that she could not compensate for this loss. Although this incident was caused by Olivia, after all, she was not yet so direct. Shouldn’t there be a possibility that she could stay at Grupo Rouco?
At this thought, Estrella felt relieved. If Adam fired her, she would be relaxed. Olivia didn’t want to see her so much. Sooner or later, he would set traps against her. It was possible that it was the right choice to leave Grupo Rouco.
-The loss has already been caused. I will fire you and cause more damage. Star, do you think I am such a fool?
The man sitting in the black chair, his voice was so quiet that I couldn’t hear any emotion. It was so cold and chilling.
The look at her was deep and cold.
-But it is true that you translated the contract incorrectly. If you don’t fire me, I’m afraid it will be difficult to convince the others….
Before he finished speaking, Adam scoffed and said, “So you’re still worried about me?
This woman, she didn’t know much. But she had the ability to irritate others.
-I do it for…
-Go away.
Estrella stood there with her lips open and was stunned for a few seconds. Finally, she turned around and walked out of the office.
…
She returned to the creative department unhappy, Olivia called her into the office.
-What did Mr. Adam find you for a moment ago?
Estrella looked at her amused, -Director Olivia should be very clear. There are only two of us here. Director Olivia doesn’t have to pretend. That contract, what I translated was 50 million dollars. Is that you, did you secretly change the number?
Olivia flashed a smile, stood up, stomped on her high heels and walked towards her, teasing in her ear, -Even if it’s me, what can you do? Look at you, did Adam reproach you a moment before?-?
-Even if I translated the contract incorrectly, but you did not inform the legal department and the translation department and gave me the contract directly. You are also responsible. Besides, you are my superior and your responsibility is greater than mine.
Olivia laughed and didn’t take it seriously, -Even if I had passed the superior, what’s the matter, doesn’t Adam know what you’re saying? He knows very well, but he won’t blame me. He only blames you. I advise you to hand in your resignation and I’ll approve.
Star clenched her fist, her nails sunk into her palm. She looked calmly into his proud eyes, -Just out of envy, then you target me like that, both in public and in private?
-I envy you?” snorted Olivia coldly, looking at her with a squint and her arms crossed, “I envy you? Star, what makes me most uncomfortable is that you do nothing, but stay on Adam’s side. But you should also know that the person in Adam’s heart is me and will always be me.
Estrella suddenly laughed, her smile was light and cheerful, -Director Olivia, if you are right, I don’t have to do anything and I can be by Adán’s side. Even if I leave Grupo Rouco, I am still Adam’s wife. I will give you my resignation before I leave work. As it happens, I don’t want to stay here anymore.
-You!Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Olivia’s expression turned red with anger. Estrella turned and walked out of the office.
-Not only will I expel you from the Rouco Group, but I will also expel you from the Rouco family!
…
Estrella sat at her desk, opened the computer file, typed a few words: Resignation.
-Are you going to resign?
Ricardo’s voice came from behind her suddenly, scaring her-why are you suddenly appearing behind me? You scare the hell out of me.
Ricardo asked anxiously, “No you don’t, why do I come to Grupo Rouco if you resign?
To join Grupo Rouco, he sacrificed a lot. Although he said that for his artistic career, he joined Grupo Rouco because Estrella was also here.
-What does my resignation have to do with you staying here?
-So… how boring work is. If you’re here, we can still have lunch together. If you leave, who will join me for lunch?
Estrella twisted her lips and smiled slightly, “I’m leaving. There are so many girls in this creative department who want to have lunch with you.
It was inappropriate for her to stay here. Not only did Olivia not want to see her, but the entire creative department did not want her except Ricardo. Instead of staying here and fighting enemies, it was better to go to a new company to “enjoy her life”.
As to whether to resign, Estrella thought about it all afternoon and finally printed her letter of resignation.
…
At two o’clock in the afternoon, Olivia went to Adam’s office.
As soon as he entered the office, he smiled and said, “Adam, let’s go to Dante’s school together. Activities will begin in half an hour.
But Adam didn’t want to get up. As he looked at his laptop to manage business affairs, he said casually, -I have something to do. You go first. I’ll be there on time.
Olivia pursed her red lips. Did this mean she didn’t want to go with her?
-Adam, are you angry because of me?
Was it because of what happened last night, or was it because … Estrella made a mistake in the contract?
Seeing that the man was silent, still concentrating on business matters, Olivia explained, “Estrella has just arrived at Grupo Rouco and made a mistake in translation. This has caused a great loss for Grupo Rouco. She is my subordinate, I know you are very angry now. I want to… fire Estrella to avoid this kind of mistake in the future. Adam… what do you think?
The slender fingers that were typing, paused for a moment. But they did not raise their eyes, he said lightly, -This matter is not only Estrella’s fault.
Olivia’s heart trembled and she only heard the man said slowly, -As your superior, you know that the contract must be checked by the Legal Department and the Translation Department, you privately handed the contract to the newcomer’s translator. Director Olivia, if I accept Estrella’s resignation, I’m afraid you will be at fault as well.
-Adam, you mean I should take responsibility for this matter, don’t you, Star?
The man raised his eyes silently and his cold black eyes looked at her, “Isn’t that right?
-But the contract was translated by Estrella. Everyone knows that the company has lost more than $30 million. If you don’t fire her, do you think they can make mistakes in the future?
