Supreme Bodyguard

Chapter 14 Stop Being So Arrogant

It was an unnecessary question. In fact, Scarlett knew what had happened generally. She learned it from her secretary Lina.

That girl came to the canteen early and she had witnessed the whole event. She had a bad impression of Marlow and couldn’t wait to see him being fired. So as soon as she saw Marlow reached his hand to Yolanda’s breasts, she abandoned her food and ran out of the canteen.

She wanted to report to Scarlett and let her fire this philanderer. But as soon as she got out of the canteen, she met Scarlett who came down to have lunch.

She told her the adorned version of the story immediately and didn’t forget to add a few disparaging remarks on Marlow’s character.

At the sight of Scarlett, d**k Jones cried out before Yolanda could speak. He complained with a woeful look, “Ms. Murphy, you have to do justice to this matter. This guy not only parked his car in my parking spot this morning, but also beat me. Look at my face. It’s his doing.”

Scarlett’s eyes were burning with rage. This guy was really unbearable! The working time started at nine o’clock but he came at eleven. Within one hour from eleven to twelve, he had made so many troubles.

Did her father send this unreliable man to torture her?

Though a lot of thoughts surged through her, she showed nothing on her face. After hearing d**k’s complaint, she pulled a long face and asked Marlow. “What do you have to say?” 

She had to let both sides speak though she knew roughly what had happened.

Marlow chuckled and said, “It isn’t a big deal. It’s my first day of work. I didn’t know the rules of the parking lot. I parked my car on his spot. He grabbed my arm and I reacted naturally and threw him onto the ground. That’s how he ended up like that.”

“Apologize to him.” The icicle beauty said curtly.

A real man should be able to admit his mistake and amend it instead of caring about his pride only.

Frankly, Marlow agreed that he was wrong in the parking lot. If he hadn’t parked on d**k’s spot, d**k wouldn’t have abused him verbally. But Marlow did look down upon him for his character. He guessed if this happened again, he would probably do the same way. Nevertheless, he was wrong in this incident.

So he accepted Scarlett’s ruling readily. He walked to d**k and said jollily, “Hey, bro, don’t be upset about this trivial matter. I’m sorry. It’s my bad. I apologize to you. It’s my first day of work today. I will give you back the parking spot tomorrow. Let’s shake hands and forget it.”

Dick thought Marlow was scared as he apologized. He became cocky and he said, “I don’t want to shake hands with you. It’s a disgrace to know a person like you. You are sorry? That’s all? In that case, why do we need the police? Ms. Murphy, I have to say this company can only have either me or him. I won’t work together with him in the same company. You decide which one you want to keep.”

Dick wasn’t stupid. He did this because he wanted to keep his pride in front of the audience. In his view, Marlow apologized to him just because he was afraid that Scarlett would fire him.

He himself was a small shareholder of the company. Compared to Marlow, it went without saying who was more important.

Besides, this boy not only offended him. He harassed Yolanda sexually. That was definitely enough to get him fired. The top manager who was as beautiful as an inflatable doll hated that kind of matter most. Anyway, from his judging, that boy wouldn’t be able to stay.

Now almost everyone in this company was watching. It was the time for him to get his pride back and kick him out of the company.

However, he didn’t notice that Scarlett looked at him with grimmer expression.

To tell the truth, she didn’t expect Marlow would apologize so readily, which made her think that he wasn’t incurable.

In her opinion, she had ruled on this matter and Marlow had accepted her decision and apologized. Maybe she could ask him to submit a written report or even compensate d**k for his medical fare. That would conclude the issue.

But to her surprise, d**k took off the gloves and challenged her authority in front of all the staff of the company. He was so ingrate!

Marlow was hateful, but he was her fiancé nominally. Besides, there wasn’t any serious consequence and Marlow had already apologized. Why should d**k overplay it?

At home, Marlow said he made the rules. The company was where she had the say. If she fired him, how could she fix him? After weighing inside, her face turned severe and said, “Mr. Jones, does it have to be so? Listen to me. You two are colleagues and…”

She gave a last attempt to pacify the matter.

“No, I have never been humiliated like this in my life! It’s wrong for you to tolerate this kind of nasty behavior. There might cause irreparable disaster in the future. This scum has to be fired. If you don’t agree, I will resign to show my determination.”

Dick thought he gave a great performance. It should be rated at least 90 points out of 100.

“Are you sure?” Scarlett folded her arms and asked calmly.

“Sure,” replied d**k with his chin up.

“Okay. Then you can send your resignation letter to my secretary. I will approve that.” After she said that, she didn’t take one more glance at d**k. She turned to Marlow and said coldly, “You come to my office.”

She also turned to Yolanda and said, “Yolanda, come to my office too if you have time after you change your clothes.”

She didn’t bother to look at the audience anymore and minced her way out of the canteen.

Marlow gave a short laugh and followed her unhurriedly, leaving the audience slack-jawed.

“Wow! Who is this guy? Why is he so capable? He offended two big shots of the company without being punished and he even got d**k fired!”

“Is he a new lover of our president?”

“I don’t allow you to insult the goddess in my heart! Apologize to me or buy me a drumstick and rice, or I will challenge you to a duel!”

“Hey, man. I want to bet! You said one hundred to one against odds!”

“Get away!”

 “…”

The whole company, including the cooks and canteen assistants, were all discussing enthusiastically the identity of Marlow.

Yolanda had almost forgotten that her blouse was still soaked in chicken soup. She had been working with Scarlett for years and she thought she knew her well. Scarlett was strict in the management of the company and she had many pursuers from rich and renowned families. But Yolanda had never seen her have interest in any of them. She didn’t treat that bastard called Marlow nicely just now, but on account that she let d**k Jones resign, regardless that he was one of the shareholders of the company, this Marlow had his weight.

Wendy, who stood beside Yolanda, was sober as she was an outsider. She nudged her and said, “Yolanda, go change your clothes. You have to go to the president’s office too.”

Yolanda woke up from her reverie and became cheerful instantly. “Sure. I’ll go right away. I won’t let him get away with it so easily.”
