Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 1398

Chapter 1398: Unemployed

"Ah, yes." The new boss of Nina’s department spoke on the phone, bowing slightly—even though the person on the other end couldn’t see him. "She’s already out of here. No, sir. She resigned."

The conversation lasted for minutes, with the new boss smiling throughout. When the call ended, he let out a satisfied chuckle as he glanced around his office. Satisfaction gleamed in his eyes—he had finally achieved his dream of running this department.

After all, he had been with this company longer than the previous boss. Yet, years ago, she had been promoted instead of him.

Meanwhile, at a country club, a chubby old man chuckled as he handed his phone to his assistant. He then turned his gaze toward the man playing golf with him.

Mr. Davis.

"Thank you for doing this favor for me," Mr. Davis expressed appreciatively. "I’ll be sure to remember it."

The other man, the owner of the firm, laughed. "Haha! Oh, you don’t have to. It’s the least I can do after all the help you gave me years ago. If anything, I’m just glad I can repay you, even if it’s over such a small matter. It’s not a huge favor. Sure, those two were talented, but I believe in paying back the people who helped me in the past."

"It’s not small at all," Mr. Davis chuckled, his smile full of satisfaction.

"Let’s just keep playing," the other man urged, and the two of them continued their game as if kicking two people out of a company was nothing of importance.

Surely, Nina’s boss had been right.

How could she listen to someone who would never understand the struggles of those who weren’t born with a privilege life?

What a cruel world.

Money, power, and connections... how terrifying it was to see what they could do.

At the same time, Nina sighed heavily as she sat in a park, a box resting on her lap.

"Well, now I’m jobless," she murmured to herself, gazing at the box before letting out a small smile. "I don’t regret it, though."

If she had known that getting fired the first time would have saved her boss from the same fate, she might have just accepted it. But thinking about that now was pointless.

"I still feel bad, though," she sighed again. "She didn’t deserve to be kicked out."

Slowly, Nina looked up at the sky, staring at it as a thought crossed her mind.

"What am I going to do now?" she asked herself. "I can’t tell Finn just yet..."

Nina bit her tongue. She knew Finn wouldn’t be happy if she kept this from him. Besides—

Turning her head, Nina’s face soured. Across the park stood the bodyguards Finn had stationed to protect her. Even if she didn’t tell them, they would definitely inform him. She hadn’t spoken to any of them, but just the sight of her sitting there was enough for them to know what had happened.

"Gosh..." Nina lamented, pinching the bridge of her nose. She had to break the news to Finn eventually, but not right now. The day had just started, and he had work to do. She didn’t want him dropping everything just to come running to her.

"Should I call Lily?" she asked herself, her expression darkening as she remembered Lily’s big mouth. Once Lily found out, she would broadcast it to everyone. "Ginnie is busy with training, and Grace... I don’t think I should bother her. Grace would just tell Penny anyway."
