Rodney had gone through this when the Snow family cut all ties with him last time.
Nevertheless, he was not as helpless at that time.
Even though he had lost everything back then, at least he still had the woman he loved.
However, things are different now. Sarah was still with him, but he felt like he had nothing left.
“President Snow…” Rodney’s assistant, Hans, went to his side. He watched the man who was clutching his head and
crouching on the floor with a sad gaze.
Rodney raised his head. His pretty eyes were lost and empty.
“President Snow, I’m sorry. This is my… resignation letter. I’ve worked with you for six years, so I wish to hand this
to you personally when I leave.” Hans handed over the resignation document.
Rodney glanced at the document and grabbed Hans’s collar in disbelief. “Even you’re leaving me too. No matter
how shabby I am, I still have Osher
Corporation. There are many people fighting to be my assistant. Why? Is being Osher Corporation’s assistant not
enough to satisfy you? How f*cking capable are you anyway? Don’t be so ambitious.
Only my company can accommodate you.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“That’s not it.”
Hans lowered his head. “Osher Corporation is Australia’s large -scale cosmetics company. When you chose me to
be your assistant back then, I was very proud. But I’m leaving… because my girlfriend and parents are telling me to
resign. You might not know, but the fact that you cheated on your wife is now known to the public, and you’ve
become the common enemy of the women in this entire nation. My family members think you have a bad
character and that I might be influenced by your bad habits if I stay by your side. My girlfriend even told me that
she’d rather I earn less money. At least she can
have a sense of security.”
“Ha.”
Rodney looked as if he had just heard the most ridiculous joke ever. His handsome face was flushed red from anger.
“Don’t you know my character?
You’ve been with me for so many years. Aren’t you clear what type of person I am?”
Hans went silent for a moment. He pressed his lips and said, “I used to think that you value your relationships more
than anything. For the sake of relationships, you did not care about how others saw you. But now, I think you’re an
irresponsible person. To be honest, I’m just an assistant, but I’ve directly and implicitly advised you before. The truth
is that you had an affair just after your wife gave birth. In my opinion, you should’ve sent Miss Neeson away with
some money…”
“Enough. Stop talking.”
Rodney felt a sharp throb of pain in his temples. “ Leave. I approve of your resignation.”
“Thank you.” Hans nodded. “President Snow. This is my last piece of advice to you. Go back to the company now,
and stop staying by Miss Neeson’s side every day. You’ve offended all of Australia’s women with your affair, and
they are Osher Corporation’s source of income. If you don’t settle this problem through public relations as soon as
possible, the consequences will be grave.”
Rodney rubbed the middle of his brows in annoyance.
Hans moved his legs. “You might not be clear on this, but Osher Corporation is going through its worst reputational
crisis in history because of you. Many cosmetics companies want a bite of Osher Corporation’s market, especially
Freycatheli. They’ve introduced a new skincare product, and they’re even collaborating with e-commerce platforms
to hold large-scale events for New Year’s Day. Freya, in particular, has gained the sympathy of all women as the
victim. Freycatheli has been one of the top three best-selling skincare companies consecutively for the past three
weeks…”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Skincare?” Rodney was surprised. “Aren’t they specializing in cosmetics?”
“They’ve already gained a good reputation in the cosmetics industry, so they’re taking the opportunity to reposition
and launch skincare products.”
Hans sighed. “Freya’s global reputation as a cosmetics chemist is pretty good. Everyone is willing to buy her
products. The new skincare products she’s launching were initially developed for you to launch at Osher
Corporation some time ago. However, both of you had fallen out afterward, so… After all, you guys didn’t sign a
contract back then. There was only a verbal agreement.”
Rodney was stunned.
He vaguely recalled that incident in his mind. Back when Freycatheli had some minor achievements, Freya asked
whether Osher Corporation needed new products, which she and her team could help to develop.
That was when Rodney and Freya’s relationship was going well. He even joked that her formulations were worth
billions of dollars. What did she say back then? She said she was helping her husband and could give away a few
formulations. By then, his skincare company and her cosmetics company would dominate the world, and they
would be the greatest couple in the cosmetics industry.
Those words sounded fresh in his ears when in fact, it had been a long time since then.
Rodney could only hear his hoarse voice after a long while. “Isn’t Freya in the hospital? Can she still manage the
company?” “Currently, Catherine is in charge of the company. She has managed Hudson Corporation before, so
she’s active in management and operations. On top of her experience, she has wide connections, and many
manufacturers want to connect with her. I think Freycatheli’s strategy and goals have changed.”
