Chapter 659 I screwed up! That's what happened!
"What's the point of apology? I was in a good mood, but it has been ruined. I don't think you want to
cooperate with me. That's it for today!" Having said that, Mr. Collins was about to leave.
The sales director caught up with him hurriedly, "Mr. Collins, you must've misunderstood! If there is
anything wrong, let me apologize on her behalf. We have been business partners for so long. The
cooperation can't be ended because of such trivial matters, right?"
Mr. Collins finally understood what was behind all this, "You! You guys knew she was inexperienced yet
you treated me like this on purpose. Since I don't see any sincerity in your attitude, there will be no
more cooperation! Goodbye!"
Mr. Collins walked away so fast that the sales director couldn't catch up with him this time.
Once he left, the sales director stared at Cathy, "Cathy, what's wrong with you? He is the biggest client
of our company. But you blew off the cooperation. How can I explain to Ms. Lawson?"
Cathy couldn't believe her ears, "Explain what? You saw it! He kept groping me. I tried to ignore him but
I couldn't tolerate what he was going to do when dancing. You saw it too, didn't you?"
The sales director looked at her speechlessly at first and then explained, "This is not uncommon.
Besides, how can you blame me for this? You said you would negotiate with him. So, I just let you deal
with him. But now you mess things up and you blame it on me. How can you be so unreasonable?"
"What?" Cathy stared at him unbelievably.
The sales director felt useless to explain more so he said, "Fine, I will say nothing to Ms. Lawson but
the truth. What you can do is cross your fingers and hope that Mr. Collins will not end the cooperation.
Otherwise, there's nothing I can help with." After saying that, he left, leaving Cathy alone, who was
standing at a loss.
When Cathy came home, William, Bella, and the old Mrs. Lawson all waited for her good news. But her
sad expression propelled them to ask, "What's wrong, Cathy? What happened?"
Cathy didn't say a word, which frightened the others and they asked hastily, "Cathy, weren't you out for
business? Why do you look so sad?"
Cathy remained silent. The three of them grew anxious, "What happened, Cathy? Say something!"
"I screwed up! That's what happened!" Shouting, Cathy ran into her room, never showing up for the
rest of the day.
The three of them looked at one another and finally, the old Mrs. Lawson said, "I think there is
something fishy. I believed Sophia would treat Cathy well. But now it all seems like a trap."
"Mom, we don't know what happened after all. We'd better wait and see." William said drowsily; they
have waited for Cathy for such a long time.
It was actually eleven o'clock in the evening. Sleepiness soon drove the three of them to bed and there
was no more conversation.
The next day when Cathy just checked in, she was called to Sophia's office. It was the first time that
Sophia grew so furious in front of her colleagues. Under great pressure, nobody dared to utter a word.
In the office, Sophia looked at Cathy and said with anger, "Cathy, I told the sales director to bring you
with him so that you got the chance to negotiate with our big client, Mr. Collins. I gave you this
opportunity only because you are my cousin. But look at you! What have you done? Rubbing him upProperty © NôvelDrama.Org.
the wrong way. Mr. Collins just called to cancel the cooperation. This is how you contribute to the
company, huh?"
Cathy said unhappily, "Sophia, that man didn't come to cooperate. You don't know what he has done to
me..."
Sophia gestured for her to stop and said: "That's enough. I don't want to hear it. Since I founded this
company and many others, I have had many business partners. However, none of them has ever
called to cancel our cooperation with such an angry tone. Cathy, you really do me a good favor, don't
you?"
"Sophia, why can't you think from my perspective? Whatever Mr. Collins has said is not the truth..."
"Enough," Sophia interrupted her once again, "Mr. Collins was our business partner for such a long
time. But now the partnership ended because of what you did yesterday and there's nothing we can do
to change his mind. Cathy, I offered you this job but the first thing you did in return was drive my client
away. I can't tolerate this. You are fired!"
Cathy was struck dumb, with her mouth opened widely. It took her a few minutes to figure something
out. "Sophia Lawson! You must've wanted to fire me at the very beginning. You promised Grandma that
you would offer me a job. But you conspired with Mr. Collins to kick me out of the office the first chance
you got."
Sophia was quite impressed. Her cousin wasn't that stupid after all but she would never tell Cathy the
truth. "What are you talking about? I have never conspired with him."
"Liar!" Cathy raised her voice. "You did it on purpose! You knew Grandma would cause trouble if you
rejected her. So, you offered me the job first but then fired me with some excuses. You can not only get
rid of me but also comfort Grandma. You are such a despicable woman, Sophia!"
Cathy continued, "But do you really think Grandma will believe you? You know what? You want to fire
me today? Just do it! But soon you will find Grandma coming back to you furiously!"
Sophia was not afraid of this threat. Once she got a plan, she knew how to deal with difficulties.
Therefore, she told Cathy, "You just go ahead and tell Grandma whatever you want." Saying that,
Sophia focused on her work again, never casting another glance at Cathy.
"You'll see." Leaving another threat, Cathy walked out of the office.
It didn't take a long time before the HR department made the final decision. Cathy Lawson offended Mr.
Collins and should take full responsibility for losing an important client, therefore Cathy Lawson was
fired.
This news came as a confusion. Staff members all wondered why Cathy was fired so quickly. After all,
Cathy, who did nothing but idled around all day, had gotten the position of vice president so easily and
her colleagues had thought to ingratiate themselves with her so that she could provide them with
benefits. But it turned out Ms. Lawson didn't want to keep her at the very start.
However, what happened next came as a shock. Followed by Cathy, William, and Bella, the old Mrs.
Lawson stormed into the office and shouted, "Sophia Lawson, come out here!"
