Goodbye, Saintess. Novel

Chapter 357 " He doesn't deserve your respect ! " Kevin shouted . Taylor's hand shot out , striking his cheek with a sharp crack . " Are you too stupid to realize how stupid you are ? Mr. Grimwald has given you multiple chances to make things right for your own sake , and this is what you did with them? " He isn't here to get a job , dumbass ! He came to offer this company a contract worth 42 million dollars ! Could you ever earn that much in your lifetime ? Huh ? Could you ? " Taylor's eyes blazed . " How dare you look down on someone with that much capability and influence ?

You're nothing but a useless nobody ! " He drew a breath and straightened . " Frankly , I planned to promote you to second - in - command of this factory because you're Mr. Grimwald's cousin . But thanks to your own stupidity , I don't have to make that mistake ! " His voice turned cold . " You've ruined your own career . You're not even a team leader anymore , Kevin Grimwald . You're fired . " Taylor turned away from him and forced an uneasy smile toward Metis and Sebastian . " So ... was the factory to your satisfaction , Mr. Grimwald ? Ma'am? " he asked nervously .

" I'm terribly sorry for missing your call earlier , sir . I was caught in an urgent meeting , but as soon as I remembered , I ran back to get my phone . Please forgive me . " Sebastian smiled and said lightly , " Don't be nervous , Mr. Lockheed . I don't bite . We've inspected most of the facility and found that it meets our standards perfectly . " Taylor's relief was palpable . " I'm so glad to hear that ! Please , come to my office so we can go over the details , and Mrs. Grimwald ! " Mr. Kevin finally stirred from his daze . The words he'd just heard hit him like artillery fire .

His thoughts scattered , his legs barely holding him . "No ! Don't fire me , Mr. Lockheed ! Please ! " he cried . " I'm sorry ! I know I was wrong ! " Kevin turned to me , his voice breaking . " Sebastian ! Sebastian , please ! We're family , aren't we ? Families don't abandon each other ! " He clutched my arm , his face twisting in desperation . " I'm sorry ! I regret everything ! Just one more chance ! Please ! " " Family ? " I repeated coldly . " What family ? I'm just a dirt - eating peasant to you . " I brushed his hand away . Kevin's face drained of color .

His knees buckled , and he staggered as though the ground had dropped beneath him . I walked off with Metis toward Taylor's office without looking back . Whatever happened to him no longer mattered . He had never treated me as family , so I owed him nothing in return . " Mr. and Mrs. Grimwald ! Please , have a seat ! Some tea ? " Taylor exclaimed . " This is our finest Darjeeling - please enjoy it ! " He served it himself with a smile fit for royalty . I thanked him and took a sip . The aroma was rich and warm . +25 Bonus A faint blush colored Metis ' cheeks .

She actually liked being called " Mrs. Grimwald " more than " girlfriend . " She glanced at Sebastian , thrilled . ' He didn't even correct in ! That means I can stay quiet. Maybe ... if they call me " Mrs. Grimwald " enough times , it'll come true . ' Once we finished reviewing the details , I arranged to meet Taylor again in a few days to sign the contract . He agreed immediately , beaming . " Thank you , Mr. Grimwald . Thank you for choosing us ! " ADMINJ
