Chapter 241
The doctor said it was an allergy, so Celeste went home to find the source of the allergy. While checking the surveillance, she found out that Martha’s child had spent the night there.
Skyler can’t stand it when the help didn’t know their place. Martha, worried that Skyler might find out she let her child stay at her employer’s house, and that she might lose her job, begged Celeste not to make a scene, crying.
Celeste didn’t say anything at the time, just told her to change all the bedding and reminded her to disinfect at least three times a week.
Celeste didn’t like to constantly complain about other people’s mistakes, so she forgave her on the spot. As time went on, Martha herself forgot about the incident.
Now she was saying she didn’t take out the trash, which meant she didn’t clean the room. Celeste used this to refute her, and she can’t argue back. She can’t tell the real reason Liam fired her, so she had to take the blame.
Martha clenched her teeth, “I just forgot this once, ma’am, please give me another chance.”
Wesley squinted his eyes, ‘Celeste, Martha doesn’t seem to have done it on purpose. We’re only human, we all make mistakes, right? To fire her over such a small matter seems a bit harsh.”
“A small matter?” Celeste looked up, her eyes darkened. “Do you know that because of her one mistake, my husband could lose his life? You haven’t experienced waiting for a doctor’s results outside the ER, so you think it’s a small matter.”
Celeste didn’t speak very loudly, but her words were clear and sincere. You’d believe that she’s doing all this for her husband’s safety.
Liam watched her, even though he knew she was just spouting nonsense, seeing her sincere defense of him made him waver slightly.
Seeing everyone affected by Celeste’s words, Angel immediately said, “Sis, even if you’re right, the punishment is way too harsh. If one mistake leads to losing a job, the cost is just too high, who would dare to work their butts off for the company in the future?”
Celeste glanced at her, “So what do you think is an appropriate punishment?”
Angel originally wanted to rally everyone, but Celeste unexpectedly threw the question back at her.
She had no good idea and blurted out, “At least… don’t make her lose her job, right? Transfer her to another position or something, firing her directly is just too harsh
Celeste thought it over seriously, then turned to ask Martha, “Do you really want to stay in the company?”
Martha, eager to keep her job, said, “As long as I can stay in the company, I’ll do anything.”
Celeste said to Liam, “Actually, I was planning to introduce Martha to Mrs. Fang for a job. I’ve already contacted her, and the salary and benefits are the same as at our place. But since Martha wants to stay at the company, I’ll listen to Angel’s suggestion and let her do the cleaning duties. It’s like helping her fulfill her wish”
Angel’s mouth twitched.
When did she ever say she wanted Martha to do the cleaning in the company?!
Hearing she was to become a cleaner at the company, Martha’s face turned pale.
A cleaning job at the company…
Earning the lowest salary, doing the dirtiest and most tiring work she wasn’t causing trouble for this outcome!
“Mr. Reed, 1-
Before Martha could speak, Liam turned to Skyler and asked, “Mom, what do you think?”
Skyler felt embarrassed and just wanted this to end quickly. She coldly said, “It’s upon you.” And walked away.
Lian said, “Well, in that case Owen, ask HR to draft a new contract for her
After speaking, Liarn looked at Martha, “Do you want to sign the contract here?”
