I’m Someone Else

Chapter 35

Olivia held her arm out to point at Curtis and Izzy. “Also, I want these two individuals to be sent to the police station after they have been fired!”

The crowd gasped in surprise after hearing Olivia’s words. There’re so many people who are going to be fired! There were more than ten people who had offended Thomas earlier, and a few of these people were core figures in the company. Is Olivia going to fire them just like that? When the crowd saw Izzy and Curtis lying on the ground, they soon realized how some of them were about to be fired. If the head of departments were fired this easily, regular staff members like them wouldn’t stand a chance to save their jobs.

How is Thomas related to President Pearson? Why is President Pearson so protective of him? The crowd couldn’t help but wonder. Although Izzy, who was lying on the ground, was in a lot of pain, she was still conscious and aware of what was going on. When she heard that Olivia wanted to fire her and that she was about to be sent to the police, she immediately tried to defend herself. “You can’t do that, President Pearson! I’ve been working for the company for a very long time now, and I’ve always remained professional and hardworking throughout the years. I’ve put so much effort into my work! I can’t believe you’re treating me like this because of a driver who doesn’t even have a college degree! I won’t allow this to happen!”

Is she going against President Pearson’s decision? Izzy was the first person who ever had the guts to do that in the company, and this was the first time Olivia had ever encountered someone like Izzy. Olivia had no idea where Izzy found the courage to utter such words. “You won’t allow this?” Olivia’s brows were tightly knitted together—she was clearly annoyed by what Izzy said. “The security footage clearly shows that Thomas didn’t steal the diamond necklace and that you were the one who hid it to frame him! How dare you say that you’re not happy with my decision? Fine! You can be as stubborn as you want. You can explain yourself to the police! You’re the thief here! You’re falsely accusing an innocent man!” Olivia shouted.

The crowd was stunned after hearing Olivia’s words. After all, Olivia was the only one who had watched the security footage earlier. So, Izzy was putting on an act all along…? This b*tch… Is she trying to ruin all of our lives? She could’ve just left her job if she didn’t like it! Why did we speak up for her? Great—now all of us are going to be unemployed!

“President Pearson!” Thomas uttered all of a sudden.

“Yes?”

Thomas pointed at Molly, who was standing by one side. “She’s a great girl. She was the only one in the crowd who spoke up for me earlier. I was wondering if… for the sake of me, could you provide her with a better position in the company?” he asked. Molly was just as stunned as the rest of the crowd. This guy really thinks he’s something! President Pearson fired Izzy and Curtis because they were at fault. Is he requesting President Pearson to do things for his sake? He’s just a driver. Who does he think he is? What a joke!

Someone in the crowd even chuckled out loud. Olivia took a long look at Molly. Molly had left an impression on her, and she remembered Molly as a young lady who was good at her job. Earlier, Olivia saw Molly speaking up for Thomas when she was watching the security footage, and she recalled watching the scene where Izzy slapped Molly. However, Olivia had been too focused on Izzy’s actions, so she was only reminded of what Molly did after she heard what Thomas said.

“How long have you been in the company?” Olivia asked.

“It has been three years!” Molly felt her heart pounding as she spoke. She was speaking to her idol, the one and only President Pearson!

Olivia nodded thoughtfully. “The company rule states that you have to work for a minimum of five years before you can get a promotion. It seems rather inappropriate to give you a promotion now, but… how

about this? I need a secretary now. If you don’t mind the job, why don’t you be my secretary? You’ll receive a monthly salary of 1,200. How does that sound?” Olivia asked.

“Well… I…” Molly was too emotional to speak at that moment. Initially, she assumed that she was going to lose her job after offending two senior members of the company. However, it turned out that she had managed to keep her job after what Thomas said about her! This good news was shocking to her. Even though Olivia was offering her nothing more than a secretarial job, she would get to work directly with Olivia. In other words, all the other heads of departments would have to be on her good side!

“Do you not want the job?” Olivia asked with a smile.

“No! No! I mean… I want the job!” Molly cried.

“That’s great!” Olivia turned to look at Frank. “Please help her with her job arrangements.”

“I got it, President Pearson!” Frank replied.

“I wonder if you’re pleased with this outcome, Thomas. If you don’t have any other issues, can you drive me out now?” Olivia asked in a playful tone.

“Um…” Thomas rubbed his nose awkwardly as he nodded. Then, he reached his hand out to ruffle Chloe’s hair. “Everything’s fine now. You can go back to work,” he said in a loving tone. “Okay! Drive safe, Thomas!” Chloe uttered. Thomas beamed before he tagged along behind Olivia and walked out of the building. The whole crowd only processed all these interactions after Thomas and Olivia had left!

Molly just got a promotion after what a driver said?! I can’t believe Olivia actually complied with the driver’s words! How could we have been dumb enough to offend the driver earlier? Were we trying to dig our own graves?! Everything that just happened felt like a nonsensical dream. It shattered the

worldviews of all the company’s staff members. Curtis and Izzy were the unluckiest ones out of them all —they were sent directly to the police. Curtis was free from charges, but charges were definitely going to be pressed against Izzy.

Izzy would’ve never expected herself to be the one who was sent to the station when she had been trying to get Thomas into jail. Great. My entire future has just gone down the drain. I’m probably going to be the joke of the century even if I get out of jail. I’m going to be the person I once thought Thomas was… a loser! Karma really bit me in the back!

Thomas was kept busy for the rest of the day. He didn’t return to the company at all—he followed Olivia around as she worked. She finally allowed him to get off work at around 6.00PM. Thomas sent her home before he drove off to the spot where he had agreed to meet Sean. Both Sean and William’s parents were extremely friendly people. In fact, they were overwhelmingly friendly to Thomas—they had ordered a tableful of dishes to fill Thomas up.

Before Sean and William met Thomas, they were typical rich brats who wasted their lives away by doing nothing. That was how they ended up abroad—they went there to experience the life of being deadbeats. They had been unreliable and useless men until Thomas saved their lives. Thomas was the one who taught them how meaningful their lives were, and it was after that incident that they started exposing themselves to their family business. They showed a 180-degree change in their attitudes, and they turned into two of the most outstanding figures of their generation in their families. In other words, Thomas had single-handedly altered their life trajectories! All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

Both Sean and William’s parents held their glasses up to give Thomas a toast. Sean and William also made it a point to get Thomas to drink as much as they could. Fortunately for Thomas, he had a great tolerance for alcohol. Otherwise, he would’ve probably been knocked out halfway through dinner. They ate and drank all the way past midnight before Thomas made his way back home.
