“What’s the matter?” Leo tries to express his dissatisfaction with Alyssa by making his tone as unpleasant as possible. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Alyssa seems to realize something. She says awkwardly, “I’m sorry to bother you. President Howard, please take a look at this.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
With that, Alyssa respectfully hands him some documents. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo glances at the two documents and finds that they are two resignations. He says, puzzled, “what is this?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
These are two unimportant positions, but why do they suddenly submit their resignation? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Alyssa still smiles and takes a look at Leo and slowly explains, “before you asked me to investigate who spread rumors in the company. This is the end result.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo frowns and looks suspiciously at Alyssa and says, “you found them so quickly?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It’s hard to find a rumor monger. Leo asked Alyssa to do it before, but he didn’t expect to get results so soon. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo believes Alyssa has the ability, but in a short time she finds several people hiding in the crowd. It’s amazing. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Alyssa, I appreciate you, but I just gave you the task an hour or two ago. Did you really find the rumor monger?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo takes a look at the two resignations. They are really just two ordinary employees. Even if they suddenly disappear in the company, no one will notice. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo slams the two resignations on the table and says coldly, “give me an explanation.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Alyssa had little contact with Leo before. Two hours ago she thought Leo was a good-natured man because he discussed the change of position with her. Though it’s not true, Leo’s politeness means he’s good tempered. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But now Leo is angry. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Alyssa’s face is pale with fear and she is about to suffocate. Claire suddenly has a little sympathy for Alyssa who got the job on her own. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Alyssa is as strong as most girls without background, but she has to show her cowardice in front of Leo. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire taps Alyssa on the shoulder and signals her to relax. And then she says to Leo, “thank goodness I’m not your secretary. You are so terrible. She is a girl. You have to be gentle.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo glances at Claire and thinks she is nosy, but he doesn’t talk. He wants to hear Alyssa explain. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Alyssa calms down and looks up and says, “President Howard, I don’t know if these two people are rumor mongers. I heard them chatting when you ordered, so I told them you wanted to see them.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“And then?” Leo closes his eyes slightly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“When I looked for them again, I only saw these two resignations. So I made it public. Although I didn’t find the real rumor mongers, they were threatened…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo doesn’t think it’s right. He interrupts Alyssa, “are you the president? I’m not asking you to bring me two resignations.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo listens to Claire and speaks as softly as he can, but in fact he is more angry now than before. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Alyssa did not ask Leo for comment. Now no one in the company dares to spread rumors, but the real mongers can no longer be found. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo thinks Alyssa is a troublemaker when he thinks about it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire seems to be aware of Leo’s thoughts. She speaks for Alyssa, “Leo, since the expected effect has been achieved, no one dares to spread rumors in the future. You don’t have to be so harsh.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo doesn’t know why Claire has been helping Alyssa. He sighs and says, “Claire? I don’t want to see them insult you. Don’t you understand?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire frowns and says, “come on. I think Alyssa did a good job. Don’t be fussy. Not every secretary can be as good as me.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire obviously wants to calm the atmosphere, but Alyssa listens to her and there is jealousy and disgust on her face. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo and Claire are arguing, so neither of them notices Alyssa’s expression change. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Then Leo suddenly says, “Claire, why do you know Alyssa’s name?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire freezes and says, “I want to see if you and the secretary do anything wrong.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo smiles and says, “you have to concentrate. I think Alyssa is beautiful. If she continues to be my secretary in the future and you don’t often supervise me, anything can happen.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire and Alyssa didn’t expect Leo to make such a joke, so they both blush. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But then Alyssa reacts. She stares at Leo and says, “President Howard, can I continue to be your secretary?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Alyssa is a smart person, but when her big eyes show her embarrassment, she looks like a girl. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo says deliberately and seriously, “you have to thank her. But for Claire’s request, I won’t keep you after you made today’s mistake.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Alyssa nods and says, “I won’t do that in the future. I will follow your orders and won’t act without permission.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo looks at the two resignation letters and sneers, “send these two people’s information to all companies related to Howard Group. Don’t give them the chance to re-enter.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Alyssa didn’t expect Leo to do so. She doesn’t know for a moment whether to take those two resignations. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire advises him, “you don’t have to be so ruthless.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo shakes his head and says, “I’m not ruthless. I’m trying to intimidate others.” He looks at Alyssa and says, “can’t you do it? Are they your friends?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
