Chapter 59

Serenity furrowed her brows Was Zeke asking about… Jack?

“You should really mind your own business, Mr. Shaw. I was only with my brother yesterday. Do I need to report to you about that too?”

“Brother?” asked Zeke. “Since when did you have a brother?”

As far as he knew, the only sibling Serenity had was a younger sister.

“He’s a brother to me,” she replied, “and that’s all that matters. Do you have any problem with that?”

Zeke studied Serenity’s face, almost as if he was trying to determine the truth of her words from her expressions.

Just then, Xyla, who had been sweeping the other side of the road, noticed what was going on and hurried over, saying, “Calm down, Mr. Shaw! Don’t do anything rash! Let her go!”

Xyla recognized Zeke as the man who had accompanied Jenny Hall when she came to the Sanitation Office to apologize. According to her colleagues, this man must be Serenity’s ex–boyfriend.

“You really should let go of her, Mr. Shaw, otherwise someone might take a picture of you with her now, and then you’ll have a lot of explaining to do to your girlfnend, Miss Hall.”

Zeke’s expressions went through several changes before he finally let go of Serenity and left.

“What did that guy want from you?” Xyla asked Serenity with concer

“Who knows?” she replied. “He probably had nothing better to do!

She was perfectly certain that whatever reason he had for coming to her and asking her who she was dating, it was definitely not because he still had any feelings for her. Still, what had happened was undeniably odd. Only God knew what Zeke Shaw was trying to do!

“By the way,” Xyla said, “I think you’d better talk to the director during lunch break, Serenity. I heard that Quinn has been collecting signatures in a petition to pressure the director to fire you.”

Serenity’s eyebrows knitted. It seemed that Quinn was sparing no effort in getting rid of her. Still…

She said, “If the director decides to fire me, there’d be no point in talking to him. If it comes to that, I’ll just look for another

job.”

Even though she had said that, she still felt a little helpless since she had only managed to get this job after tirelessly applying for countless jobs everywhere. Finding another job would unquestionably be a nigh impossible task.

Xyla sighed. She knew, of course, that workers in their position did not even sign a contract before taking up the job. Compared to those in proper positions like Quinn, they were, simply put, expendable. She did not even have to guess whose side the director would take between Quinn and Serenity.

Once they had both completed their work, they returned to the Sanitation Office together, where they bumped into Quinn.

“I think you’d better get ready to leave now,” Quinn told Serenity with a smug look on her face. “No one here has any desire to work with a criminal, you know.”

Serenity kept her composure, showing no sign of fear at all, which had been what Quinn hoped to see.

This vexed Quinn.

“Let’s see how much longer you can keep up that act!” she dared Serenity. “Soon, the director is going to call you into his office, then we’ll see what happens!”

She then snorted haughtily. She had worked so hard trying to get the signatures of most people in their workplace. Judging from the director’s reaction when she handed the petition over to him, she was pretty sure that Serenity would be fired soon.

Yet moments later, an employee from the Human Resources Department came to her and told her, “The director would like to

see you in his office, quinn.”

“Me?” Quinn asked, surprised. Could it be that the director had some questions about the petition so he wanted to talk to her before firing Serenity?

And so, Quinn beaded over to the director’s office.

“Serenity,” Nyla said, her face wrought with concern, “make sure you let the director know how desperate your situation has been when you see him later, okay? Perhaps he might sympathize with your plight and change his mind about firing you.”

“We’ll see how it goes,” Serenity responded.

At that moment, her colleagues all looked at her with different looks on their faces. Some looked at her with sympathy, some with disgust, and more…

But no one could have guessed that Quinn would come out of the director’s office looking devastated. There was not a trace of smug confidence left on her face.

Some of their colleagues surrounded her and asked her, “What did the director have to say to you, Quinn?”

By that point, Quinn was on the verge of tears. She could hardly believe what was happening. How could she be the one getting fired?? It clearly should have been Serenity!

However, what the director told her in the office still rang vividly in her ears…
