"What kind of immortal boyfriend did she find?"
"No, with a boyfriend so wealthy, why is she still so frugal?"
"She's just low-key. Not everyone wants the whole world to know, like you, buying a dress for over a thousand dollars and wanting everyone to know!"
The group chat was lively. While Olivia, who was diligently working, remained unaware that she had become the topic of discussion, she continued drawing.
However, shortly after, she received a message from Michael, "Olivia, I lost my job. I'm really sad. Will you have lunch with me?"
Seeing Michael's message, Olivia became nervous and anxiously asked, "Why did you lose your job? You've always been so dedicated. Why would they fire you?"
"I'm packing up now. I'll tell you during lunch."
After sending the message, Michael quickly packed all his scattered belongings into a cardboard box on his desk.
Two colleagues, seeing he was serious about leaving, hurried over to pat his shoulder and comfort him. "Michael, Alex has been in a bad mood these days. Just apologize to him, and things will blow over."
"Yeah, jobs aren't easy to come by now. If you quit, it'll be hard to find a better one with the same benefits!"
"A wise man keeps his head down when under someone else's roof!"
Due to Michael's friendly nature and excellent work abilities, he had a good standing in the office. Many girls had tried to win his favor, but he had already made it clear that he had a loving girlfriend.
Previously, even Manager Alex valued Michael. However, for some unknown reason, today Alex seemed to have lost his mind and started picking on Michael from the moment he entered the office.
At first, everyone thought Michael had made a mistake. However, upon careful listening, it became clear that Alex was nitpicking and intentionally causing trouble for Michael.
Alex usually had a smiling face, but when he decided to target someone, it was quite uncomfortable.
While everyone secretly sympathized with Michael, he abruptly dropped what he was holding and declared his resignation.
Facing Michael's determination, they thought Alex might try to retain him, but to their surprise, Alex was even more decisive, telling Michael to leave immediately.
Thus, Michael submitted his resignation.
However, as they watched Michael leave, the colleagues who interacted with him the most felt a bit reluctant and rushed to persuade him to stay.
"Ah... I didn't expect you to leave so suddenly. We didn't even have a chance to grab lunch. How about we get together this weekend?"
"That sounds good. Let's have a few drinks together."
While they were talking, they didn't notice Michael pressing the elevator button for the basement. When they finally realized it, he had already reached the underground floor.
The underground floor was the parking lot, usually frequented by those with cars. Those without cars would directly exit from the ground floor to take a turn to catch the subway.
They thought Michael had pressed the wrong button. They were about to close the elevator doors to go back up when Michael stepped out of the elevator, pulled out his car keys, and waved, "I'll be on my way!"
With that, he opened the door of a nearby Ferrari LaFerrari!
"???"
"!!!"
The colleagues stared at Michael getting into the LaFerrari, dumbfounded. It took them a while before someone exclaimed, "Damn, is this your car, Michael?"
"Yeah."
Michael nodded and waved towards them calmly, "See you later!"
After saying that, he stepped on the accelerator and drove away!
The colleagues, watching Michael drive away in the LaFerrari, sighed with a bitter smile. Their reluctance to see him go wasn't really about deep feelings for Michael. They were colleagues with competitive relationships. Although they interacted a lot, there were inevitable clashes of interests.
After all, they are all wandering and working hard people in Nexington, and occasionally we still need to hug together to keep warm.
But they never expected Michael could afford a LaFerrari!
That was a multi-hundred thousand-dollar car!
It turned out he was a wealthy second-generation with a family fortune...
No wonder he said he would quit without hesitation. It seemed like they were here working to make a living, while he was just passing the time.
If he felt unhappy, he would leave!
"Damn, they're all wealthy person, and I'm the true loser!"
One of the colleagues looked at the others, "Maybe your families also have a gold mine?"
The other two rolled their eyes, "What nonsense are you talking? How is that possible?"
"Yeah, if I were a wealthy person, why would I still be here? I would've been sunbathing in Hawaii by now!"
"Damn, I envy Michael so much. Not only does he look good, attracting the office girls, but now we find out he's rich too... This is just a cheat for life!"
...
Peeking through the office door crack, Alex saw that Michael's seat was empty, indicating he had already left. Sitting comfortably in his office, Alex made a cup of tea and called Steven.
"Mr. Steven, everything is settled!"
Steven, not expecting Alex's efficiency to be so high, was momentarily surprised. "So fast?"
"Yeah."
Alex sneered, "He's just a bug. Getting him out of the company is a matter of minutes."
"Alex, you're impressive. I'll treat you to dinner when I'm free."
Upon hearing that things were sorted, Steven almost couldn't stop smiling, "Sure, when the time comes, I'll bring my doll too!"
"Looking forward to it!"
Alex also revealed a somewhat lecherous smile. He had heard that Michael had an exceptionally beautiful girlfriend, but he never had the chance to meet her. Now that Steven had succeeded in bringing her in, Alex was curious to see her.
However, when thinking about Michael losing his job because Steven fell in love with his girlfriend, Alex couldn't help but sigh, "Beauty can bring calamity!"
