My mystery lover novel (Richard and Amy) novel Chapter 44

Chapter 44 Not my fault

Seeing the dirty footprints on the clean floor, Amy took a deep breath and chose to ignore Zoe. And she went back and cleaned the dirty floor again.

"Well done! You are really good at playing nice. But I believe that some day, you will expose your true face. I warn you. Don't ever try to seduce Mr. Carter. He has a girlfriend." Zoe saw Amy being silent, so she felt bored and gave up bullying Amy.

After Amy cleaned the floor, almost all colleagues arrived in the office. So Amy went back to her seat and began working.

Since Mrs. Jones was fired, there was no officially nominated director in the Secretary Department yet. Zoe was more experienced so she acted as a director temporarily.

Zoe sorted out the work and knew what work was tricky and hard to finish. She was going to arrange all these difficult work to Amy.

'Humph, she is an excellent graduate, right? Since she is so good, she must be the best employee here. Of course she should take over the work that others can't do.'

"Amy, this is the work for you today. Finish it before you get off work." Zoe was holding a pile of files and put them on Amy's table.

Amy skimmed through all the files, and thought that it was impossible she could finish it today.

"Zoe, I can't finish it before getting off work." Amy said to Zoe honestly.

"If so, just go to the Human Resource Department and tell them that you aren't qualified for the job and you want to resign." Zoe was very arrogant.

However, Amy was not a coward. If someone treated her nicely, she would be friendly in return, but if someone picked on her deliberately, she would just fight back.

"Zoe, you are wrong about this. Even you, an experienced secretary, won't be able to finish all the work within one day, let alone a new comer like me. You are picking on me purposely, so I will not accept these work." Amy pushed all the files away.

"Everyone, listen to her! I am in charge now and I just gave Amy some work. But she not only refused the work, but also spoke ill of me. That's absurd and I won't allow this to happen!" Zoe was shocked that Amy had the courage to refuse her in public.

Zoe was very angry, yet other colleagues in this department was praising Amy secretly.

Zoe always bullied others in the department since she was more experienced, and sometimes even Mrs. Jones had to follow her instructions. But today, Amy dared to contradict her, which cheered everyone up!

"It's not my fault and you went too far. It is very obvious that no one can finish the work in one day, yet you still ordered me to do so. I just told you the truth in advance. To be precise, it takes at least three days to finish the work." Amy said to Zoe.

"Very well, then I will report this to the Human Resource Department. You are so bold and rude as a new comer. Maybe you should be the acting director, not me!" Zoe turned around and left angrily.

It seemed that Zoe was really heading to the Human Resource Department. A nice colleague came to Amy, trying to comfort her.

"Amy, Zoe is a senior employee here, and it is said that she is also a relative of Mr. Carter's girlfriend. I guess in this case, you have to leave now."

Amy felt so unlucky today. On her first day of returning to work, something bad happened to her. She already tried her best to avoid trouble. But it was impossible for her to finish this work in one day. She had to tell the truth.

While Amy was upset, Zoe came back with excitement.

"Amy, Mr. Carter asked you to meet him upstairs." Zoe believed that she could easily get Amy fired because of her connection with Allison.

'Oh, shit! I just got my job back yesterday, and today I was caught in trouble again. How unlucky I am!'

All the colleagues in the office looked at Amy sympathetically, thinking that she was so poor, and she would be fired even though she was nice to clean the floor in the morning.

Amy held her head high, pretending to be calm and brave even if she was worried to get fired.

It was very quiet on the 30th floor, and the door of Mr. Carter's office was half-closed. She knocked, and no one answered, so she opened the door carefully and tried to peek inside.

"Can't you just come in?"

Just when Amy was about to leave since she found that there was no one inside, she heard Richard's voice from behind her back, which startled her so much that she hit the door on her head.

"You almost scared me to death! Can't you speak properly?" Amy covered her head and almost cried in pain.

"What are you saying?" Richard looked at Amy confusedly. She seemed to be really in pain and her eyes turned red immediately. But he thought she actually looked quite cute in this way.

"Mr. Carter, I mean I am so happy to see you. Please allow me to open the door for you." Amy suddenly realized that she was here to get fired, so she endured all the pain and opened the door for Richard.

Once Richard came in, he pulled Amy inside and closed the door considerately.

"Mr. Carter, please listen to me. I can explain what happened in the morning, and it was not my fault. Please let me explain." Amy thought that Richard was mad at her and wanted to scold her.

"Sit down here, and wait a minute." Richard left after he ordered Amy to sit on the sofa.

Amy was rubbing her forehead in pain. Her forehead seemed to swell slightly since she could feel a bump there.

Soon, Richard came back with the ointment in his hand. He walked towards Amy and took a closer look at her. There was indeed a red bump on the center of her forehead. However, it looked so funny that Richard couldn't help laughing.

He applied some ointment on her forehead, and she felt cold and relieved there.

"Mr. Carter, this ointment is very useful! I don't feel the pain anymore." Amy praised Richard.

"Very well. Now let's talk about what happened in the morning!" Richard said seriously.
