Chapter 645: Being Threatened


    The middle-aged woman choked out, “I am Director Hecht of the Mamet Corporation’s Finance Department.”N?v(el)B\\jnn


    Xaviera Evans nodded to show that she understood, without her saying anything, Director Hecht spoke up: “Mrs. Mamet, I want to talk to you.”


    Xaviera took a good look at the middle-aged woman in front of her and then nced at Anna Campbell sitting next to her. She suddenly realized that something was amiss. So, she smiled indifferently, “Sure, Director Hecht, what would you like to talk about?”


    Director Hecht cast a nce at Anna Campbell and quickly said, “Mrs. Mamet, I’ve been working for the Mamet Corporation for over a decade with diligence and dedication, but Mr. Caleb Mamet wants to fire me. Can’t you put in a good word for me considering my years of service to thepany?”


    Xaviera remained indifferent. If Caleb Mamet wants to fire her, what is sheing to me for?


    Caleb Mamet always had his reasons for his actions. If she’s being fired after working for thepany for over a decade, she must have done something wrong. Otherwise, Caleb wouldn’t take such action.


    As Xaviera wasn’t aware of the whole story, she, of course, wouldn’t agree to her request. “I’m sorry, Director Hecht, but I can’t help you with this. If Caleb made the decision, he must have had a good reason.”


    Director Hecht pleaded, “Mrs. Mamet, I did make a mistake, but it wasn’t a big deal. And it was all because of you that I took the wrong step. That’s why I had toe to you.”


    Xaviera was puzzled, because of her? She had never met this woman before, and she never involved herself in thepany’s matters. How could this have anything to do with her?


    Before Xaviera could say anything, Anna Campbell tried to persuade her earnestly, “Xaviera, from a young age, our parents have taught us to be generous. How can you allow Director Hecht to lose her job just because of you considering she has dedicated so many years of her life to hard work?”<div>


    Caleb Mamet had just reached the door when he heard these words. He paused in his stride and a smirk crept up the corners of his mouth.


    It appeared that there was more than one person trying to make trouble for Mrs. Mamet. Apart from the dismissed Director Hecht, there was the top-tier angelic bitch, Anna Campbell. The two had conspired together to bully her?


    He knew the two women harbored ill intentions. However, others might not be aware, especially if Mrs. Mamet fell for it – that would definitely upset her.


    Director Hecht sobbed, “Mrs. Mamet, I did stand up for Mag Evans at times. But I didn’t know then that Mag was an illegitimate child. I got duped by her. Therefore, I said those things. You holding a grudge against me is understandable. But you can’t take away my job!”


    Anna Campbell quickly seized the opportunity, “Xaviera, no matter what, Director Hecht has been working for the Mamet Corporation for over a decade. How can she be fired just because she spoke a few words? Yes, Mag was wrong. But what does that have to do with Director Hecht? She was also deceived. Isn’t it a bit unfair of you to be so unyielding?”


    Xaviera narrowed her eyes slightly andughed, “So, you’re suggesting that I should ask Caleb to overturn the dismissal order?”


    Director Hecht had a pleading look on her face. But the very next second, Xaviera’s eyes turned icy cold. “So, Caleb wants to fire you, but I, as his wife, should oppose him? So you want to instigate a quarrel between us? Do you assume that I am a fool who follows whatever you say and go against my husband just for a stranger?”


    Caleb Mamet, standing outside the door, chuckled. Mrs. Mamet had some tricks up her sleeve.


    Director Hecht’s face darkened, “Mrs. Mamet, I’ve been with the Mamet Corporation for so many years. Just for speaking for Mag Evans, I get fired. If thises out, it will surely scare the other employees!”


    “I beg you, Mrs. Mamet, please plead for me. I am the director of the finance department. If I leave, who is going to fill in for me? This will be a loss to thepany. Maybe Mr. Mamet would me the situation on you.”


    Xaviera couldn’t help butugh. Was this a veiled threat?


    If she were to actually listen to Director Hecht and go plead with Caleb, she’d have to be out of her mind!


    Xaviera had no desire to engage further with this woman and stood up to leave.


    Seeing that she was ignoring her, Director Hecht’s embarrassment turned into anger and she shouted, “Mrs. Mamet! Are you sure you won’t manage this issue? Is it proper to fire a veteran from thepany just because of a few words? How will the employees stand up for thepany if the Mamet Corporation can’t tell right from wrong?”


    “If thises out, your reputation, Mrs. Mamet, will also be affected. I’d advise you to seriously consider it!”


    Xaviera turned around slowly, her voice icy cold, “Oh? Are you angry now?”
