If Aimee wanted to ask Zack to back off. But that was impossible for Zack to do.
But if Aimee wanted Zack to help her back off and not be directly involved in the project. Zack would certainly help her with good intentions.
However, Alfin who had considered various aspects, will he listen to Zack?
Kept watching Alfin and read his expression.
Alvin refused.
"I can't, Zack."
Be friendly. This was the first time that Alfin called Zack's name without any frills.
However, Zack knew that his arrival would be useless, kept trying all possibilities.
"Why?" asked Zack, he needed a reason.
Realized that Alfin was a lazy boss. Zack was quite annoyed to know the fact that Alfin had a big role in Zack's first project.
"As I have said before. I believe in Aimee's ability," said Alfin as if he knew a lot about Aimee. Even though Zack was sure, Alfin was just trying to get rid of his responsibilities.
Alfin continued.
"I know she's very spontaneous. Sometimes careless and fussy. Until she is difficult to be given heavy work."
Zack pressed harder against his forehead.
"You know she's like that. But you still gave her this job?"
"Yes. Because Aimee has worked for me for 4 years. So how couldn't I possibly know?" Alfin replied.
Zack objected.
"I'm not asking about how you know her. But what I'm asking is, you already know how Aimee's ability. But you're still handing her a job as important as this?" Zack complained.
Started to not understand Alfin's way of thinking.
Knew that Alfin liked to do whatever he wanted and was fickle. Zack never knew that Alfin was this stupid.
Left important jobs to amateurs.
Aimee turned out to be in accordance with Zack's expectations, regarding incompetence?
He sighed tiredly and looked more serious.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll raise the matter to Mr. Harry?" snarled Zack.
Realized and knew that Alfin was very afraid and respected Harry.
Alfin chuckled at Zack's bluff.
"Wait. Don't be too disappointed and get emotional!" Alfin added.
"I know this project is very important to you. So did Harry. That's why I want to benefit everyone. Because of what?" said Alfin, still calm.
"Because as I said before. I will watch Aimee from behind. I'm so smart! In terms of managing the project, especially the construction!"
Silence for a moment. Zack approved of Alfin's arrogance.
Because there won't be any reason for Harry to give this important job to Alfin.
"But still. You can't delegate the job to her!" said Zack firmly.
Alfin sighed in annoyance because Zack wasn't that much of a stubborn from Aimee. So was it possible that one day they will fit in and be destined to be together even if only in a project?
"Aimee is a candidate for one of the employees who will be fired this year," said Alfin without a more appropriate opening sentence.
Zack frowned.
Did not understand why the direction of the conversation had changed and discussed critical internal issues from a certain point of view instead.
Zack looked straight at Alfin.
"What do you mean? We're not talking about…"
Paused for a moment and responded more excitedly.
"Aimee became one of the candidates?" Zack repeated.
"Yes. And it was well-determined if she didn't make a better contribution than she's been doing."
Zack gave him a sarcastic look.
"And only now do you want to act like a good boss?"
"You're so smart, Zack!" Alfin said proudly.
Zack was completely untouched.
"I really want to try to be a good boss and make amends for what I've done all this time. Didn't want to make it difficult and…"
Seeing Zack's cold gaze. Alfin corrected his statement.
"Okay. I still trouble her with this new project. However, I did this because I wanted to give her a chance to change things up."
Zack quipped.
"You're the boss though. But you can't do much and stop the firing?" Zack interrogated.
Nodded in agreement and showed a look of disappointment.
"You are right. And that's why I feel like a very useless boss, even though I have a high position."
"Can't hire my employees and pay them as I want due to company rules. I also can't keep them if the main says that my people have to stop."
Zack didn't want to show sympathy but he continued to listen.
"That's why I also need your help to make this project a success!" said Alfin.
Stared in horror and disbelief. Zack wanted to gag Alfin's mouth if he could.
"She has made 10 mistakes in the last 6 months and 2 fatal mistakes when the mistakes couldn't be corrected. Aimee was being the strongest candidate to be fired unilaterally by the company because that rule was written in her work contract!"
Wow!
"Then, what's even more surprising is that Aimee has been doing that for 6 months straight while she's been at work!"
Zack showed his surprise.
And it was great that Aimee was able to endure for the last 4 years in Theodore's tight company!
Zack folded his arms across his chest.
"So you're asking me to sympathize with the plight of your employees?"
Alvin grimaced.
Apart from the fact that Zack was an outsider because not many people know about Zack's past relationship with Aimee.
Alfin thought Zack would melt after he was hearing Aimee's sad story.
"Now it's better this way, I will still be involved in this project but not directly. Will still execute the ending and push Aimee from behind event she encounters difficulties."
Zack quipped Alfin.
"Then, how is it different from your yesterday's strange request?"
