Chapter 113: Ridiculous Amelia
After throwing out those harsh words, Amelia turned and headed for the door.
She refused to believe that James would actually fire her.
If she got fired, wouldn't that step back she took have been for nothing?
Amelia was blinded by rage.
When she reached the 32nd floor, she suddenly remembered that Mia had just come up here not long ago.
She absolutely wouldn't allow herself to lose face in front of that bitch Mia again.
Just as Amelia was about to turn around and head back to her department, she heard employees on the 32nd floor huddled together gossiping in hushed voices.
Although James had previously forbidden everyone from spreading gossip about him and Amelia around the company.
But gossip is human nature.
With such explosive news today, they simply couldn't help themselves.
"I saw it clear as day - when Mrs. Mia Smith came out of Mr. James Smith's office, she was holding divorce papers. Both Mr. James Smith and Mrs. Mia Smith looked terrible. Mr. James Smith is really going to divorce Mrs. Mia Smith because of Amelia!"
"Ms. Martinez—"
The two gossiping employees turned around to see Amelia.
"Did you see it clearly?"
Amelia looked at them both.
"I saw it with my own eyes, and I heard them mention the marriage registration office."
Facing Amelia, who was about to move up in the world, they answered every question.
Amelia didn't respond, but her expression clearly improved.
Good.
Mia had finally exhausted James's patience.
Once they got divorced.
James's heart would be hers for the taking.
Amelia sneered and walked inside, heading straight for Aaron.
"Ms. Martinez."
Aaron was preparing for the handover. He'd been too busy today, running between various company departments, and didn't know what had happened downstairs yet.
He'd only heard that James was going to divorce Mia.
James no longer allowing gossip about him and Amelia was probably about keeping personal and professional matters separate.
And having Amelia leave was the same reasoning.
"Those few people from the marketing department - fire them immediately."
"Ms. Martinez, that's not proper procedure..."
"I am the procedure!"
Amelia coldly cut off Aaron's words.
Seeing that Aaron didn't act immediately, she directly promised, "Don't worry, this position will still be yours!"
When she and James were just friends, she already had the ability to get James to demote Robert.
Soon to become James's wife, she felt Robert, who lacked such insight, wasn't suitable to stay at the Smith Group anymore.
"Thank you, Ms. Martinez."
Aaron understood. He'd thought that with Robert coming back, he'd have no chance!
Who would have thought.
Delighted, he immediately called the HR department.
This kind of minor personnel adjustment was just a phone call for him.
His attitude also made the company's winds blow even more in Amelia's favor.
The HR department was very efficient. By the time she went downstairs for coffee and returned to the marketing department.
The few people who had dared to challenge her earlier had already received notice from HR.
At the same time, news that Amelia was about to marry James spread throughout the entire building.
Amelia walked in with full confidence, arms crossed, watching the three people packing their things.
Her gaze swept arrogantly over their three resentful faces as she instructed the two security guards following her: "Watch them, don't let them 'accidentally' take any company property."
She was deliberately humiliating them.
"Amelia, don't go too far!"
The three were red-eyed with anger.
"You think you're worthy of being bullied by me?"
She'd never considered them worth her attention.
Robert had just arrived at the company, preparing to go to HR to complete some paperwork.
Passing by the marketing department, Amelia spotted him.
Seeing Robert, Amelia's eyes instantly turned cold.
Although James had helped her get revenge for what happened at the hospital by transferring Robert to Zephyria, that wasn't enough!
He had dared to embarrass her back then, so today, she wouldn't let Robert off easily.
She suddenly spoke up, "Robert!"
Robert was in a hurry to complete his paperwork and hadn't noticed the marketing department.
Hearing someone call his name directly, he couldn't help but stop.
In the company, except for James, this was the first person to do so.
Robert stood at the doorway, his gaze sweeping over coolly, "What is it?"
After trying his best to make amends but still being sent to Zephyria by James, Robert immediately understood.
Mia's position in James's heart was unmatched by anyone.
What he should do couldn't be clearer!
Amelia already found Robert unpleasant, and seeing him dare to have this attitude in front of her.
That cold face reminded her of his attitude when he blocked her at the hospital room door!
Anyone who sided with Mia deserved to die!
"Go make me a cup of coffee!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the marketing department fell so silent you could hear a pin drop.
Employees from other departments, pretending to have business there, moved closer, wanting to watch the drama unfold.
More and more people gathered outside the marketing department.
This was exactly what Amelia wanted.
Seeing Robert not moving, Amelia's cold eyes swept over him, "Robert, don't make me repeat myself!"
"Haven't you had enough of Zephyria yet?"
She directly threatened and warned him!
He'd better not provoke her if he knew what was good for him!
If he backed down now, she'd let him off.
Robert had always been smart.
Aside from misjudging Mia's position in James's heart, in all his time with James, he'd never made a mistake.
When it came to reading people's minds.
In the entire Smith Group, except for James, if he claimed third place, probably no one would dare claim second!
With just a moment's thought, Robert understood what Amelia meant.
"Ms. Martinez, you don't actually think Mr. Smith transferred me to Zephyria because of you, do you?"
Robert smiled without warmth.
His expression clearly said: No way, right?
You're not that full of yourself, are you?
Though he didn't say it, his expression and eyes were blatantly mocking Amelia.
"Wasn't it?"
The first to respond was the employee who'd clashed with Amelia.
The company rumor from the start was that Robert had offended Amelia, and Mr. Smith had angrily transferred him to Zephyria to defend her honor.
"Of course not!" Robert directly denied it. "I was transferred to Zephyria because I wasn't respectful enough to Mrs. Smith."
