Chapter 618: Blacklisted

Jane’s POV.

As soon as Lucy and I returned from Florida, we went to George’s office to report on our work George
listened indifferently and remained silent the whole time I instinctively sensed that something was
bothering George, so I stopped talking and gave him an intense glance

However, Lucy was oblivious of his mood She was always outspoken and fearless because George
had given her too much of rope she asked George in a serious tone, "Dyer is in New York.What time
will you be able to see him today?"

George replied without even looking at her, "Arrange a meeting for tomorrow “

"No! That won’t do He specifically flew to New York to see you He has no other reason to be here Once
he meets you, he will head back to Florida He has booked a flight to go back later this evening If you
really want to hire him, you will have to hold up your end of the bargain and display your sincerity "Lucy
was very straightforward in her view George thought for a while and then nodded.

"Okay! Arrange for him to come to the company now"

I had been standing back and observing the interaction between the two of them.

George was very business-like with her and his eyes were devoid of any feelings for her Did they really
have a terrible quarrel? Lucy immediately called up Dyer and sent him the company’s address After
making all the necessary arrangements, she reminded George.

"You promised to pay me a commission as long as I brought Dyer to you, irrespective of whether he
accepts your offer or not "

Lucy smiled coquettishly and stared at George with her fiery eyes.Her tone sounded like a spoiled child
I was getting more and more confused.



It didn’t appear as if Lucy and George had quarreled Then why was George still pulling a long face?
"Go to the human resources department and file for the commission.

They will apply for the money from the financial department "

George’s tone was still indifferent, but his words shocked Boswell and me We had never heard of the
CEO paying fees to someone merely for securing a meeting with a potential employee! Even if he
loved his girlfriend, he shouldn’t indulge her to such an extent.

"Thank you!"

Lucy got what she wanted and left with a big smile to arrange the meeting with Dyer I couldn’t help but
remind him.

"George, this is not in accordance with the company’s rules and procedures On what basis will the
financial department authorize such a payment?"

"Transfer the money from my personal account"

He was gone totally insane He was not like the man I knew at all I questioned him in a stern voice, "Is
Lucy really worth giving up all your principles? George.

you have always been scrupulous about separating public and private interests What magic does Lucy
have that makes you bow down to her?"

"I have nothing to do with Lucy."

George stated emphatically and then ordered his assistant to make his stand clear "Write a public
statement to clarify the scandals between me and Lucy Besides, from now on, she is not allowed to
enter my office without my permission."



Boswell and I were dumbfounded.

It seemed that they really did have a quarrel No wonder George was so depressed over the past few
days But Lucy, on the other hand, was still as heartlessly carefree as before It seemed as if she was
not emotionally affected at all Lucy’s POV I was so excited to go to the human resources department to
apply for the headhunting commission However, when the people of the human resources department
saw me, they were not at all co-operative "I regret to inform you that this is not how the policy works.

It does not meet the application standard.

We only pay out a part of the fee once the employee is hired and the rest after the period of probation
expires Presently, we are clearly still negotiating with the candidate for this position.

The candidate has neither received an offer nor been hired by the company The application for the
commission is therefore not in accordance with our rules This was totally different from what George
had said.

Perhaps it was because he hadn’t informed the human resources department yet? I suppressed the
doubts in my heart and explained in a soft voice, "The circumstances surrounding this application are
very special Mr Affleck just approved it barely five minutes ago."

"Do you have any special documents purporting to your claim? Or Was it just a verbal agreement?"

They were determined to follow policy and I had no special approval document George hadn’t told me
that it was such a complicated process to get the commission "Just a verbal agreement,"

I answered honestly, As George held such a high position, I had never doubted the authenticity of his
verbal agreement He was the CEO of Zhester Technology.



How could he withhold the money from an ordinary employee like me? "Sorry, we only work with the
documents written in black and white."

"Wait a minute.I’ll ask Mr.Affleck to speak to you."

I immediately sent a message to George, but it was rejected.

Had George blacklisted me? If so, then when did he blacklist me? Why did he do that? It suddenly
dawned upon me that George’s promise to me was as empty as a church on a weekday.

He had no intention of fulfilling his promise at all.

And he even blacklisted me just for this expense.I couldn’t hold back my anger anymore and hurried
back towards George’s office.I didn’t understand why he did that.

He was not that kind of deceitful person.

George’s assistant saw me and hurried out to stop me.He stood in front of the office door with his arms
stretched sideways.He refused to allow me access to George’s office.

"Mr.Affleck has given strict instructions that no one is to be allowed into his office without his
permission.Lucy, please don’t make things difficult for me, okay? Besides, it’s not a pretty scene when
you barge in there and quarrel with him for all and sundry to hear," the assistant pleaded.

It was the first time in my life that I had been so angry and aggrieved.I never dreamed that I would have
to swallow my grievances in silence, It was the first time that I’d failed to judge a person correctly.I
never expected George to be such a big liar! .
