Chapter 404: Brutal Society

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Finn Taylor, you’re such a b*stard! How could you get back at me for your own personal matters at work? You assigned me to such a terrible place and even paid me less! Do you really think that badly of me? Now, I finally understand why you got divorced. You didn’t get divorced because you were cheating on your wife but because there’s something inherently wrong with your character. You look like a gentleman, but you’re even more petty than a woman!” Josie Meyer couldn’t help but voice out her displeasure.

“Do you really think I’m petty? If I were, you wouldn’t even be working at the company now. You would’ve been fired a long time ago. Do you believe that you won’t be able to find a job in San Francisco if I say something about you? They all say that my company is on the verge of collapsing and that another corporation has set their eyes on it, but haven’t you heard the saying that a starving camel is still bigger than a horse? Even if my company might go bankrupt, it will be impossible for others to bring it down in the short term.”

“On the contrary, I can very easily bring them down, and my influence doesn’t just extend to San Francisco. I can easily cause you to be out of a job in New York or Chicago. You can go ahead and try your luck if you want to. You say that I’m petty, and you’re absolutely right. My conscience is clear because I always put people where they deserve to be. Since you’re always around men and are such a social butterfly, you must be good with people. It was only right to send you to the public relations department then. As for her, she’s meek and obedient. Hence, I would feel more assured with her by Yvette’s side.”

Josie Meyer didn’t believe anything Finn Taylor said. She felt that the latter was simply making excuses for himself.?‘Putting me where I belong? Does he think that I can do nothing else just because I’m sociable? I’ve contributed to the company too, and I’ve had some achievements. I wanted to further my career here, not just help the company do public relations. This is such an insult!’

“What? A social butterfly? Why exactly did you send my friend to that department?” Josie Meyer’s friend finally spoke up. He was a manager too and had a fiery temper.

Although he held a managerial title, he had only five to six men under his leadership. If he worked in Finn Taylor’s company, he would probably be a mere team leader. However, some people always thought highly of themselves. This man thought that he was an important person who should be respected.

How was he to know that he wouldn’t even qualify for the same position in Finn Taylor’s company?

“Josie Meyer, is he your man? Does he hold a high position? Why does he speak so haughtily?”

“Finn Taylor, you better watch your words. What do you mean by that? What kind of woman do you think I am?”

“Do I really have to tell you? How do you think I view you? That’s exactly how it is then. I won’t say a single thing.” Although Finn Taylor didn’t say anything, his behavior made it clear.

This irked Josie Meyer even more. She couldn’t help but feel that Finn Taylor was trampling all over her dignity now. “Finn Taylor, let’s not beat around the bush—I quit. I can’t work in your company. You’ll face retribution for what you’ve done. I’ve heard about Melanie Taylor being at odds with you. It’s just as well that she’s dealing with you. I’ll go work for her. I believe that a day will come when I will trample all over you and humiliate you! I’ll make you realize what a huge mistake you’ve made today once your company goes bankrupt!”

Without a moment’s hesitation, Josie Meyer swung around and stomped off, the manager following closely behind her.

However, Michelle Yeller stayed rooted to the spot.

“Aren’t you leaving?” Finn Taylor was curious why the young lady would stay. After all, the two were best friends who had grown up together. Why would she turn against her friend for the sake of a stranger?

“Why did you have to say that to her? You know that she doesn’t have ill intentions. She’s just bad with words.”

“It hasn’t been long since you graduated, right? I guess you haven’t even been working for three years. Reality is brutal. I’m telling you that being bad with words is probably the worst mistake you can make. Only your family will pamper you and not fight with you no matter how rude you are. However, you better keep that fiery temper in check outside because nobody wants to be lectured. While we were still neighbors, she lashed out at me every time we met and even insulted me. You say that she doesn’t harbor ill intentions. Even if that’s true, her words were no different from insults. I don’t think it’s wrong for me to get back at her for what she’s done.”

“Don’t try to convince me to be kind. You’ll never be able to imagine what I’ve gone through. Have you met any bad guys? The worst ones you’ve seen are probably people who can’t pay for their bus fares, those who spit on the streets, or those who steal other people’s money. Do you know what I’ve been through? Have you witnessed anyone being killed? Have you ever been subdued and had your life threatened? Have you ever experienced how it feels like to have the whole world look upon you as a freak? No, your life has been so smooth-sailing. I’m telling you this as a friend: Society is brutal.. You better grow up and not have such high expectations of others.”
