No matter what, Archer did not dare to leave a call from his superior unanswered, so he accepted it hesitantly. Before Archer could speak, his general manager shouted through the phone.
“Archer, I don’t care how you want to f*ck yourself over, but don’t involve me in your mistakes! Listen to me closely, you’re fired!”
Archer’s heart raced and his expression paled.
He felt the urge to explain himself quickly, but he had only just opened his mouth when the general manager hung up the phone.
Archer gaped at Jasper with widened eyes and he felt his throat tighten as if clogged with cotton. Countless words formed at the tip of his tongue but he could not say a thing.
Conflicting emotions of agitation, shock, disbelief, and confusion swarmed Archer and engulfed him.
The entire house fell silent for a moment.
“What happened?” Ronald asked, seeing how the color had drained from Archer’s face.
Ronald was confused at the strange situation.
Before Archer could reply, hasty knocks were heard at the door.
It had only been eight to nine minutes since Wendy’s call.
“I’ll open the door!”
Ramona volunteered bravely.
It seemed like she was the only one suitable for the role.
She had watched everything transpire with her own eyes just now, including the phone call from which Archer was fired. The other party was too loud, so everyone in the room, including Ramona, had heard the contents of the call even without the speakers being turned on.
Ramona was not stupid, so she knew that Jasper currently had a magnificent status and identity.
Excited, Ramona opened the doors.
On the other side of the door stood a middle-aged man panting and sweating in place. The man was currently using an expensive suit jacket to wipe the sweat from his face.
Ramona could tell that this was a man who stayed in a luxurious environment most of the time. It must have been difficult for such a person to run up five floors of stairs in one go.
Nobody knew how this man had rushed over.
“You…”
The man interrupted Ramona before she finished speaking.
“Sorry. My name is Currey Abbott, I’m JW Real Estate’s Faith County branch’s person-in-charge. Is Mr. Laine here?”
Ramona sucked in a cold breath at how polite Currey was.
JW Real Estates was the number one real estate enterprise in the whole of Southeast Province. As the person in charge of the county, this man was someone a normal salaryperson like Ramona could never approach.
“Jasper Laine?” Ramona asked bravely.
“Yes.” Currey nodded vigorously.
“He’s inside, follow me.”
Ramona answered before bringing Currey inside.
“Yes, please. Thank you.”
Ramona marveled over how weird the world was when she heard Currey speak.
She could never meet people like Currey normally. Even if she did, Currey would certainly be very arrogant throughout the meeting and might not even spare her a word, let alone speak to her so politely now.
Upon entering the bedroom, the atmosphere in the room turned exceptionally strange.
Archer’s complexion was still devoid of color as his lips started to quiver.
Ronald had also realized what had happened. The man now looked at Jasper warily. He looked like there was a lot he wanted to say but decided to bite his tongue.
