Serena widened her eyes welcoming the arrival of her fiancé who came at the right time. However, that didn't mean she was happy to see Asher coming to her in the midst of this complicated problem. Even though Asher doesn't know what happened, how could he accidentally want to meet Barbara? Does Asher really want to meet Barbara for business?
Serena didn't want to interfere in the affairs of the two directors who wanted to hold a meeting. While walking slowly towards the door, her right hand was suddenly grabbed by her fiancé from behind, causing her body to freeze.
"Don't go, Serena," Asher begged quietly.
"I don't want to interrupt your conversation. Aren't you here to discuss business?"
Asher smiled confidently while looking at the snake woman who was getting more and more haughty in her eyes. "I will recruit you as the marketing manager team leader at Joy Food Company Limited."
"What?!" shouted Barbara and Serena in unison.
"Do I have to say it again? I'll take your employee, Barbara!"
"On what basis do you suddenly want to seize my employees?" Barbara snapped her fingers. "That's right. What a coincidence today she caused a stir in the office. She plagiarized all the proposals made by her colleagues."
"I told you, I wasn't the one who did it!" Serena argued.
Asher folded his arms. "Do you have any proof, Barbara?"
"I have it. You can open Serena's computer now. All of Lisa's proposal documents are in there and Serena just changed the name to hers."
"I ask you, do you really have proof that Serena was the perpetrator?!"
Happy tears rolled down her cheeks without her realizing it. At a critical time like this, the only person who can defend her is Asher. Meanwhile, everyone in this office didn't believe her and cursed her even more. All she got since arriving at this office were various curses uttered by her co-workers, then she was fired by Barbara just because of this matter. Seeing the very angry look on Asher's face, Serena didn't think of him as a villain for a while, but as her guardian angel.
"All of Lisa's data on Serena's computer, isn't that enough proof?"
"You think Serena is stupid?! I won't believe you either if you just say that all of Lisa's data is on Serena's computer. I want to see the proof directly!"
"But, all of yesterday's CCTV footage is gone."
Asher narrowed his eyes. "Hearing you confidently say that, I will also be confident in accusing you of framing Serena."
"Are you relating to your personal feelings now?"
"No. I'm coming to you now as the CEO of another company, not as Serena's husband. I'm very interested in seeing the results of Serena's hard work and want to recruit her to work at my company right now!"
"The proposal you read is plagiarized! I already proved it!"
Asher confidently took out several documents from the brown envelope he was carrying. Then arrange all the papers neatly on the table.
"Every time I ask my employees to draft something, I always check it by detecting whether they have plagiarized or not. I'm really interested in reading the proposal that Serena drafted, but before that I asked the system for help to detect the results of this proposal." Asher shows a printout of the plagiarism detection results to Barbara. "You can see for yourself, Serena never plagiarizes other people's work."
"Couldn't that tool produce wrong results? Why do you trust the system more?"
"Because what the system does is more accurate and humane than your always illegal way of working!"
Barbara clenched both fists tightly. "How impudent of you, Asher!"
"If you want to accuse Serena again, bring more evidence. I'll bet on you. Serena is not the type of woman who likes to do evil things, even though in your eyes, she is just a waste child."
"Do I need to call Lisa as a witness and victim?"
"You're wrong, Barbara. She also plays the role of a criminal." Asher's eyes focused on his fiancé who was still crying silently. Spontaneously, he grasped his right hand silently. "If you don't have anything else to say, I'll take Serena to my office now."
"Then, would Serena agree to moving to another office suddenly?"
For Serena, the current situation makes her feel like a dilemma. On the one hand, she still wanted to complete the Lariette project. On the other hand, she wants to start from scratch at Asher's company. Maybe she will get justice when she works in a new office. Friendly coworkers, a fair employment system, no bullying, and much more. Should she hold Asher's hand to be led straight to work in the new office?
"Yeah, I'll go now. Besides, you just fired me," Serena said with a grin.
"You really don't know yourself, Serena! You work at Asher's company just because you are his girlfriend."
"Don't misunderstand, Barbara! I never involve my personal feelings with work. Unlike you who have been bullying her for years, both at home and at work. You should be grateful that I haven't reported you to the police. You would be in prison just because you tortured Serena."
"Go ahead if you want to report me. I won't be afraid! Besides, I really hated you from the start and never approved of your relationship with Lariette. You couldn't even look after her properly until she breathed her last."
"Therefore, I don't want to repeat my mistake again." Asher looked at his fiancé with a look of pity. "Come on, let's go now, Serena!"
"I have to tidy up my desk first."
"You don't need to bring anything from this company. You just need to bring all your things. Why bring all the trash that pollutes my office."
Serena smiled again after receiving protection from her future husband. Now no one dared to bother her anymore. However, is it true that Asher will recruit her to work at his company? Remembering the last time Asher suggested there was no need to work.
