Chapter 750: You Are Fired

1Mr. Watson quickly told Alexander everything that had happened.2

After hearing what he had said, Alexander's face darkened.

Alexander waved his hand. "I see. You may leave."

Mr. Watson gave him an uneasy look. Although he wondered how Alexander would handle it, he was sensible and left the office. As he left, he saw Alexander pick up the phone on the desk and dial a number.

***

Called to the company early in the morning, Helena was terribly uneasy.

She thought, "Alexander is actually back? Why does he suddenly come back? Does he do it for Heather Denmark? No! No way! I can't scare myself now!"

Heather was just a newcomer and, at best, a little talented. Moreover, Helena had proof and was supported by Mr. Lee. How could it be possible that Alexander would doubt both of them just because of Heather?

Calming herself down, Helena knocked on the door of the President's office.

Alexander's cold voice came out. "Come in."

Helena opened the door. She looked obsessively at Alexander, but the next moment her heart sank.

She found Mr. Lee was in the office, too.

She began nervously, "Mr. President, Mr. President."

"Sit down." Alexander said peacefully, "why didn't you inform me of the leaked designs?"

Mr. Lee forced a smile and explained, "It's not a big deal."

Alexander's eyes were cold. "It's no big deal that the designs leaked out?"

Mr. Lee shuddered, his heart missing a beat. There had been similar incidents at the company before, but Alexander had never paid much attention. Did he do it now because of Heather? Heather was just a new employee. Did Alexander have to care about her that much? 

"What Mr. Lee means that he alone can handle this!" said Helena quickly.

"Yes, yes," Mr. Lee came to his senses and said nervously. "Mr. President, I planned to report it to you when you come back."

Alexander's eyes grew colder. "Oh? Then you can report now."

"Mr. President, well..." Helena hurried to speak first.

After that, she took out the proof and started shifting the blame onto Heather for everything.

"... Yeah, Helena is right. I've looked into it. It's the truth!" Mr. Lee clenched his jaw nervously and said.

Although he had sensed that Alexander was being partial to Heather, he did not believe that Alexander would consider him less important as a vice President than a little designer.

Alexander's eyes were gloomier, but his face remained calm. "I see. So how did you handle it?"

"Mr. President, I suspended Heather Denmark yesterday, but I recommend that she be fired immediately. Besides..." "Mr. Lee said with a serious look and took a look in Helena's direction before adding, "We should ban her from the industry. We can't let such a spy stay in fashion!"

Alexander's fingers that had been leafing through screenshots paused. He raised his eyes and looked at Mr. Lee with an expressionless face. "Must I do that?"

Mr. Lee hesitated.

Even if the theft was true, banning Heather Denmark would be too much. He didn't know what Heather had said to Helena yesterday. When Helena had come back to the company, she had been very angry and asked him to help her make Heather lose her position in the fashion industry.

"I think Mr. Lee's decision is very wise!" Fearing that Mr. Lee might back out, Helena hastened to say, "The impact is too bad, so we have to make an example of her! Otherwise, wherever Heather goes, she'll ruin someone else's company!"

"... Yes, we have to do that," Mr. Lee agreed. He thought it was too much, but he had promised Helena that he would help her. "Great, I know what to do with it now." 

Alexander sighed slowly. He had given them a chance, and they didn't cherish it and even wanted to court death.

Mr. Lee and Helena looked at each other in surprise. Sure enough, Alexander believed them and was on their side. They had been in the company for so many years. How could Alexander possibly consider Heather to be more important than them?

"Now, Mr. Lee and Helena Harrison, I'm officially informing you that," Alexander gave them a cool look and continued quietly, "you're fired."

The two persons had sat happily, but Alexander's words instantly left them stunned.

Helena looked at Alexander incredulously. "Mr. President, Mr. President, did you say something wrong?"

"No," Alexander said, looking at her nonchalantly. "I'll tell the people in our industry what you are fired for. And I think they're going to think carefully if they should hire such people like you who damage the interests of the company."

How was that possible?

Mr. Lee and Helena didn't come to their senses after quite a while.

Alexander had listened to them carefully and agreed to their suggestion on punishing Heather, but why did he want to fire them in a twinkling?

"Mr. President! It was Heather who leaked the designs." Helena said, aggrieved and puzzled. "You saw the proof, didn't you?" 

"Helena Harrison, do you really think I would believe your flawed proof?"

Helena turned pale and felt pain in her heart. Alexander didn't believe her! "Mr. President, my friend helped me find this evidence." She looked at him as she didn't want to give up. "Even if there is something wrong with the proof, I didn't know about it. Don't you think it's too much to dismiss me?"

Alexander stared at her coldly. Helena actually refused to admit her mistake.

"I had someone trace the IP address of the email and, of course, it turned out that it's real sender was you. Besides, I've watched the monitor screen," Alexander said in an indifferent air as he calmly showed her footage on his laptop. "Helena Harrison, explain it to me. What were you doing?"

Looking at the screen, Helena's face instantly turned pale! This was the footage of her snapping the designs! She had never expected that Alexander would investigate this theft himself and find the company's monitor so quickly! She clearly remembered she had done that carefully!

"Pack up your things now and go to the accounts department to get your salary," Alexander spoke coldly.

Helena was heartbroken. Alexander's ruthlessness drove her to despair! Alexander was serious. He was not joking with her or bluffing her!

"Mr. President, I have been with you for six years. I've been working very hard every day for the last six years," said Helena as her eyes turned red. She didn't want to give up. "Do you really want to be so cruel to me even if I just lost my head for a moment?"
