Chapter 84: Resignation
Although Monet and Madeleine had decided not to make their relationship public, at least not until they got five million dollars, after careful consideration, Monet decided to tell Rick about it in private, otherwise if Rick inadvertently knew about it, there would definitely be a problem between the two good friends.
So on this day, Monet invited Rick to the café, and Rick was a little surprised by this: "Oh, Tony, why do you suddenly have time to come to me today!" ”
"No matter how busy you are, you can't ignore your friends!" Monet replied casually.
After chatting a few words, Monet hesitated for a moment, and then said to Rick: "Rick, actually, I really want to tell you something today!" ”
"Look at it, I'll just say you must have something to find me!" Rick said smugly.
Monet waved his hand and said: "Actually, even if there is no such thing, I plan to talk to you these days, and I originally planned to keep this matter secret, but thinking of the relationship between the two of us, I should still tell you in advance!" ”
"Oh? What the hell is going on, so serious? Rick asked curiously.
"Well, have you heard rumors about me and Madeleine?" Monet asked without answering.
"OF COURSE I'VE HEARD IT, HOW LONG HAS THIS BEEN GOING ON, WHY ARE YOU ONLY ......MENTIONING IT NOW" Rick suddenly reacted halfway through his words, leaned over and asked in a low voice, "MY GOD!" Don't you tell me, it's true? ”
"Before yesterday, it was a rumor!" Monet replied evasively.
"So yesterday, it came true?" Rick asked.
Monet nodded very embarrassedly and replied: "Well, yes, in fact, yesterday was also very accidental, I didn't control it for a while, so ......"
Before Monet could finish speaking, Rick interrupted: "Tony, don't talk yet, let me calm down!" Then he closed his eyes and leaned heavily back in his chair.
Monet dared to say anything more when he saw this, so he waited for him quietly.
After about two minutes, Rick let out a heavy breath and asked, "Tony, you just said you were going to keep this a secret, right?" ”
Monet nodded and replied, "That's right, because once it's made public now, then Madeleine can't continue to stay in the Astor family!" ”
"You're doing the right thing!" Rick agreed, and then said: "Actually, when I first heard this rumor, I thought about the possibility of you and Madeleine, so I was a little mentally prepared, and you also know that I am not very good at accepting Madeleine as my mother, so this incident is not a big blow to me, of course, provided that this matter must not be made public, do you know what I mean, Tony?" ”
"Yes, of course!" Monet nodded repeatedly.
As if he didn't want to discuss the issue anymore, Rick changed the subject and asked, "Tony, I don't know if you've heard anything about me and the Duchess of Marbro lately?" ”
Monet nodded and replied, "I heard it, and I heard it from Madeleine!" ”
"And do you believe it's true?" Rick asked in a deep voice.
Monet stared at Rick for a moment, then asked tentatively, "Is it fake?" ”
"Of course it's fake, the Duchess and I are more than ten years apart, how can we be together?" Rick replied angrily.
"Then why don't you clarify?" Monet asked puzzled.
Rick explained, "Because the Duchess needed a shield to help her fend off the pursuit of boring men, and I happened to be fine, so I helped her, and she had already introduced me to a cousin from the Vanderbilt family." Originally, I also planned to make this matter public after a while, but since you shared your secret with me today, then I will also tell you my secret! ”
Monet suddenly realized: "Oh, I see, that's really going to bless you!" But you're keeping this secret tightly enough! ”
"Of course, although Laura is only a side branch of the Vanderbilt family, her identity is also very noble, so she naturally has to keep it secret from the outside world!"
"When will you introduce me to you?" Monet asked casually.
Rick thought for a moment, then replied, "Let's wait until our relationship is stable!" ”
After explaining this matter to Rick, Monet felt much more relaxed, but just as he left the café to take a look at the magazine, his right-hand man Christina suddenly came up to him and said, "Boss, I just met you here, I have something very important to tell you!" ”
I don't know why Monet suddenly had an ominous premonition, but it turned out that his feeling was correct, because after sitting down in the café, Christina said to Monet with a serious face: "Boss, I want to resign!" ”
When Monet heard this, he couldn't help but exclaim, "What?! Resign? Why? Do you feel that the salary is not high enough or that you have been working too much lately? "The reason why Monet is like this is because he is really reluctant to leave Christina, knowing that such a capable and beautiful employee is not easy to find!
"Boss, you misunderstood, in fact, you have already paid me a lot, and I am very happy doing in "Comet"!" Christina replied with a shake of her head.
Monet was puzzled and asked, "Then why did you resign?" Are other magazines poaching you? ”
Christina shook her head again and replied, "It is true that there are other magazines that want me to come over, but I have refused, in fact, this resignation is my personal reason, and I will leave New York soon." Originally, I wanted to leave you a letter of resignation, but since I met you, I simply told you directly! ”
"You have an accident at home and need you to go back and take care of it?" Monet guessed.
"Even if it's it!" Christina replied casually.
And Monet breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "If that's the case, then you don't need to resign, just go home and deal with things, the magazine will always have a place for you, and you are welcome to come back at any time!" ”
"Don't be like this, boss, I think Beasley has been working very seriously lately, just give him my place, as for me," Christina hesitated for a moment, and then said, "If I still have a chance to return to New York, I will definitely come to "Comet" and continue to work with you, boss!" ”
