Chapter 33 Fire Him 

Jessica was getting irritated and glared at Brittany. “Did you clearly understand what I said? If Daniel says the sculpture is worth fifty Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

million, and he needs you to do something for him, you should do it! If the sculpture isn’t worth fifty million in the end, I’ll punish him! But until then, do as he told you.” 

Jessica’s command left Brittany with no choice but to comply. Despite feeling infuriated, she asked Daniel with a glare, “What do you want me to do for you?” 

“Go buy me a bottle of vodka – the most expensive one.” 

“Vodka? What for? You’re smashing up the statue and now you want to drink? What’s wrong with you?” 

“It’s not for me – it’s for the statue. If I don’t ‘feed‘ it, it won’t reveal its true form. If it doesn’t show its true worth, it’s worthless. If it does, then it can be worth fifty million.” 

“You idiot, do you think I’m going to believe that bullshit?” 

Despite her disbelief, Brittany still refused to go. She was completely certain that Daniel was spouting nonsense. A statue he had cracked had nothing to do with vodka. She had never heard of any connection between antiques and alcohol, and Brittany wasn’t about to start believing Daniel’s absurd story. 

Brittany didn’t want to go, and Daniel had no authority to command her. With no recourse, he had to turn to Jessica instead. 

“Jessica, since Brittany isn’t willing to help, I guess you’ll have to 

make the run 

Jessica was taken aback – did this guy really have the nerve to order her around? She was so angry that she felt like kicking him to teach him who was the boss here. However, she held back the urge. Instead, she decided she wanted to see exactly what Daniel was up to. 

“Brittany, go buy him the vodka! If it turns out to be useless, deduct the cost of the liquor plus your running around fee from his salary 

“Deduct from his salary? That’s it?” 

“What else do you want?” 

“Fire him!” 

“Daniel’s trial period lasts a year. During this time, I will not fire him! So, stop thinking about firing him. 

“Why does every other employee have a trial period of only three months, and he gets one year? Besides, if he turns out to be unfit 

during his trial period, can’t you fire him immediately? What’s so good about this loser?” 

“Are you questioning my decision?” 

“No… I’m not!” 

Brittany quickly shook her head. “Fine, you don’t have to fire him. But if this statue doesn’t end up being worth fifty million, from that point on, Daniel reports to me! He has to do whatever I tell him to. Is that okay?” 

“That’s fine!” 

Jessica agreed, which satisfied Brittany. Since she couldn’t fire Daniel, she decided she would torment him until he couldn’t take it anymore and resigned on his own. 

Three minutes later, Brittany returned with a three–thousand–dollar bottle of vodka after visiting several stores to find it. Upon receiving 

the bottle, Daniel unscrewed the cap, sniffed it to ensure it was 

indeed real liquor, and then began to drink it down. 

“Jessica, look at this loser! He just wanted to drink! You need to 

punish him severely! That bottle cost me five thousand dollars, and I want him to compensate me ten thousand dollars out of his salary!”
