His Real Wedded Bride

Chapter 144 ·Survival of Paula

"I..." Paula looked at Ryan with embarrassment and finally embraced silence, In clear deference to

Ryan's words and not Autumn's.

"Mr. Zhou, I entrust those matters just mentioned to you. I will begin work from tomorrow morning."

Autumn said calmly asserting her new position. Ryan uttered his consent outright.

Paula observed the situation, realizing that there was no hope left for her, she attempted to stop Ryan

by pleading, "Mr. Zhou, is there any way you could manage keeping me in the company in light of my This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

long and dedicated term served here. You can't just let her drive me out of here....."

"Let go!" Ryan pushed away Paula's hands in one strong movement and said, "Paula, now she is the

head of Cloud Advertising Company. Even I have to obey and follow out her directions. There is

absolutely no point of begging me for help. I am simply powerless in this jurisdiction."

" But... this is, after all, your company where you can conceive some plan to help me out of this

situation." Paula felt anxious and scared about the prospect of uncertainty upon her dismissal.

"Too late! My hands are tied on this matter." Ryan forced a smile. As the saying went, "every dog has

its day". Ryan sighed: "Paula, as you have worked with me for a long time I also don't want you to be

fired this way. You better plead to Autumn for your survival here."

" But...."

"Do not hesitate any more! This will make a difference to your job. Be quick to keep up with her." Ryan

heaved a long sigh.

Paula finally acceded, managed to catch up Autumn and she pleaded: "Autumn, please slow down."

"What is up?" Autumn turned around to ask Paula. Autumn and the other three were about to leave

when Paula greeted them.

"I am begging you now to talk to me privately for a minute." Paula had to swallow her pride for her very

survival in this company.

"I think there is nothing left to talk between us which is private." Autumn said calmly, " Paula, frankly

speaking, it is my wish that you leave Cloud Advertising Company as soon as you possibly can! "

Paula's endless cunning and less competency were her undoing.

Paula continued speaking in a morose tone, "Autumn, I pray you to consider that before all of this we

were long-term colleagues, even though I have offended you several times by carrying out instruction

given by others."

Paula knitted her eyebrows: "I admit that the rumors, which disturbed you, were my doing. But I was

instructed by Mr. Zhou against my will to do so. I beg for your forgiveness..."

"You are trying to say that Ryan is the culprit, is that what you are saying?" Autumn replied with a cold

smile, seeing through Paula's lame attempts to save herself.

"such being the case...." Autumn was about to refuse her when Isla grasped her by the garment and

asked: "Doing whatever you can for your survival?"

"Definitely..." Isla's olive branch brought some hope for Paula, who turned to Autumn: "I will do

whatever I can to ensure I still have a job here."

"Ok, that sounds fair enough." Isla replied gently, " But you have to be transferred to the logistics

department but with the same salary. Can you accept this arrangement?" Autumn would have opposed

it but she gave a second thought to Isla's proposal.

"The logistics department? Working as a toilet cleaner?" Paula stared at Isla with eyes wide open in

shock, " You are insulting me beyond measure!"

"........." Isla looked at Paula speechlessly, "So you want to decline this offer?" Paula, a woman who

was mean, thought that everyone was as mean as her. Isla had originally intended to place Paula in the

photocopying room, however, Paula misunderstood the role.

Paula would not have yielded but the thought of the same salary made it an easier decision: "

Accepted!"

Paula scowled at Isla and Autumn, though she ought to have remained silent and grateful in this

moment.

Autumn walked away with Isla and wondered: "Isla, what is your intention with this? There is no point of

keeping her in our company."

"Nothing good would come from her dismissal, either! " Isla explained her point of view.

Autumn thought it over before replying: "Paula would again try to slander my reputation for her

satisfaction, though this time around I will simply not care...."

Isla grinned: "It does matter! She tried every means to hurt you when you left from Cloud Advertising

Company. The dismissal would drive her to do something desperate which could be worse than before.

So with that in mind, I thought it would be well advised that she remained in the company under our

close watch."

It did sound reasonable to keep Paula as long as anything important would be kept away from her.

Isla wanted to go back home before joining Cloud Advertising Company the next morning, however,

Autumn countered, " Needless! I have booked a restaurant for our celebratory dinner."

" But..." Isla looked at Autumn in embarrassment, " How about next time?"

"Right now is perfect." Autumn escorted Isla off without wasting another second talking. Charles turned

to Yvonne behind: " Miss Ye, we have something urgent to deal with. After one-day travel with us, it will

be better if you go back and rest."

Yvonne remained silent and stood behind. She was upset and angry on learning that Charles invested

Autumn with the control right of Cloud Advertising Company which he acquired.

'If I married Charles, I would be the one taking possession of what Autumn enjoys now rather than live

in the maid room, ' she thought.

The fact that Charles excluded her from dining with them made Yvonne feel extremely bitter and

wronged, however, she contained her resentment from Charles and said to Autumn: "Sister, I just

received a call from aunt and she was telling me something about your grandma...."
