Chapter 269 Red Road (2)
After hanging up the phone, Tess felt tired. It was really sad that she had to use Sid's title to suppress the other party in the end.
She looked up at her watch and saw that it was already very late. Arthurnie had finished school long ago. She walked to the street, hailed a taxi, and hurried to Sid's mansion.
Asheni had already finished her dinner and was working on a puzzle alone on the low round table in the living room on the third floor. Tis walked over to Asheni and squatted down: "Asheni, mom is here."
Ashney raised her head from the pile of puzzle pieces, looked at her mother, then jumped over happily, shouting excitedly, "Mom!"
Tis was pounced on by Asheni and fell directly onto the thick velvet carpet. She smiled and took her daughter's soft little body: "Go pack your clothes, we will stay in mom's apartment tonight, okay?"
Ashney nodded: "What about Dad? Does Dad agree that I can move out?"
Tis nodded: "Dad is sick and in the hospital. You should move to mom's place first. I will take you to see dad tomorrow."
Ashney snuggled into her mother's arms again and nodded obediently.
Tess accompanied Arthurnie to her small bedroom to pack some clothes, and arrived at her rented apartment before nightfall.
The mother and daughter hadn't seen each other for many days. They lay together in the evening, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was warm and comfortable.
The next day was the weekend and Arthur didn't have to go to school, so Tess planned to accompany her to the dessert class to learn how to make desserts. She hadn't accompanied Arthur to this kind of parent-child interaction for a long time, so when she woke up in the morning, she was more excited than Arthur.
However, during breakfast, she received a call from Schnee.
In the past, Schnee called her "baby", "honey", "my beauty" and so on. He only called her by her stage name "Hongmo" in serious occasions. But this time, he actually called her "Miss Tiss".
He said, "Ms. Tis, I'm Schneider. I'm really sorry about what happened the day before yesterday. No one in the company knew you were of such a noble family. I'm really sorry for any offense..."
"The chairman will lead all the colleagues in the company to apologize to you today. I hope you can take the time to come. The compensation will be processed for you as soon as possible..."
Tis said to Schnee very politely on the phone: "No need to apologize, I'm busy today. Once the compensation is agreed upon, just transfer it directly to my card..."
Schnee said "yes" repeatedly and apologized again and again before he said to Tis, "Ms. Tis, apart from what happened the night before yesterday, the company has always been committed to the principle of nurturing you. Of course, what happened the night before yesterday was indeed a bit too offensive to you... However, can you please, considering that our previous cooperation was quite pleasant, ask that gentleman to show some leniency to the company and not let all of us lose our jobs..."
Tiss frowned slowly: "What do you mean by losing your job?"
Schnee paused. "Don't you know? The company received a government rectification notice in the early morning, requiring it to suspend business for rectification...but everyone knows that this actually means that the company will go bankrupt..."
Tis sighed: "Then there is nothing I can do. Let's just close it down..."
Schnee immediately called out to Tis anxiously. He was so anxious that his voice suddenly rose a lot: "Ms. Tis! Please, we are familiar with each other. Can you not kill me so quickly? If I lose my job because of offending such a big shot, I will never be able to survive in this industry..."
"Then I can only say sorry to you as well." After saying this coldly, Tis hung up the phone neatly.
