Chapter 1874 You Are The One Who Should Be Fired
Selena had left the house very early the next morning. Lucius had left for school while Delilah attended to her plants in the garden, so Larry was all by himself in the house.
Ms. Young has been treating me like family ever since we had dinner last night because she knows Selena and I have feelings for each other. On top of that, Lucius seems to really like me too…
With that in mind, Larry glanced at his watch and smiled in satisfaction before heading out.
“Oh, my! Welcome, Mr. Norton! What brings you all the way here?” One of the department leaders greeted Larry the moment he saw him.
As the manager wasn’t in at the moment, Larry had no choice but to settle for the department leaders instead.
“Business seems to be booming, eh?” Larry said sarcastically.
Unsure of what Larry was implying, the department leader had no choice but to go along with it.
“It’s all right, I guess…” he said with a nod.
“How about the way you department leaders treat your employees, then? I am a firm believer in treating employees with great respect, and I would be more than happy to take over the management here,” Larry continued, his words startling the department leaders almost instantly.
Given his resources, we’d lose our jobs for sure if he were to take charge here!
“Rest assured that we’re very respectful toward our employees, Mr. Norton!” the department leader quickly explained, only to have Larry sneer at him in response.
“What the hell is your problem, Selena? Didn’t I tell you to sort all of this out yesterday? Why is everything in a mess now, huh?” Freya was heard picking on Selena who could only keep her head low and pout in response.
“So, this is what you mean by being respectful?” Larry growled at them, causing them to sweat and tremble all over.
“S-She’s new here and d-doesn’t know what she’s doing, Mr. Norton. I-I’ll be sure to lecture her about this later on!” one of the department leaders stammered nervously.
“Don’t bother, I’ll take care of this myself,” Larry said as he made his way toward them.
“Selena wasn’t the one who put these here yesterday, Ms. Brooks!”
“Yeah! You put them here yourself!”
“Shut up, all of you! One more word out of you and you’re fired!” Freya shouted.
“You’re the one who should be fired!” Larry said coldly, gaining the attention of everyone around him instantly.
Why is he here? What’s he going to do?
Selena thought to herself as she stared at him in surprise and confusion.
As for Freya, she broke into a sweet smile when she saw Larry.
“Hello there, sir! What would you like to buy?” she asked in a gentle and somewhat shy voice.
The other employees pursed their lips in disgust when they saw her sudden change in behavior.
“Oh, I’m not here to buy your stuff. I’m here to buy your supermarket,” Larry said calmly, shocking everyone around him once again.
That has got to be the sexiest thing I’ve ever heard a man say!
“A-About that… P-Please reconsider your decision, Mr. Norton… I… I’ll be sure to give her a good lecture, so… R-Rest assured that we’ll change the way we do things here starting tomorrow and treat our employees with the utmost respect!” one of the department leaders stammered as he came running over.
This supermarket is the only one in the entire village… the manager is bound to flip if he finds out that it’s been acquired by someone else! I’d lose my job for sure!
“Is that so? But I just witnessed a supervisor scolding an employee in front of everyone, though. That didn’t look very respectful if you ask me.” Larry shot Freya a cold glare, causing her to take a few steps back in fear.
“Yes, Mr. Norton! Absolutely! Feel free to drop by for an inspection if you don’t believe me!” the department leader reassured him.
