Chapter 98 An Object of Ridicule
He asked the Human Resource Department to hire two new secretaries for him. Originally, Kate was supposed to be one of the secretaries, but she was transferred to the Marketing Department instead.
He leaned on the couch quietly as he drank his tea while listening to Heather, Harry, and Ginny discuss about him and his company. A strange feeling arose in his heart.
Meanwhile, Harry only smiled in response at Ginny’s boast and she was a little bummed because she wanted Harry to brag along with her.
“Heather, where is your husband working now?” the bored Ginny asked.
“I’m unemployed.” Alex shrugged and replied before Heather could.
“Yikes. It looks like you’re addicted to living off your wife,” Ginny mocked.
Harry gaped in surprise as he stared at Alex quizzically.
Is that guy really a parasite to his wife?
“Well, it takes some skill to be able to do that. Do you really think anyone will be cut out for that?” Alex chuckled, unashamed of himself.
“Fine, you win. What else can I say.” Ginny scoffed. I can’t believe there are people like this. Absolutely revolting.
“Dude, you shouldn’t be thinking this way. As a healthy man, why do you want to give up on your dignity and leech off your wife?”
Harry saw that his girlfriend was enraged by Alex, so he frowned and tried to help Ginny get her point across.
However, Alex only shrugged in response.
“Since Heather’s my friend, I’ll ask Harry to help you find a job at the Four Seas Corporation,” Ginny said to Alex with a clearly condescending tone.
She actually didn’t intend to ask Harry to help Alex look for a job. She just wanted to humiliate Alex.
Heather was speechless, but she didn’t want to address Ginny’s patronizing behavior either. She just pretended as if she didn’t know anything.
On the other hand, Alex was amused because he just knew that Ginny invited them to have a meal together to deliberately stir up trouble.
I’ll play along with them since they want to act like total idiots.
“Alright. Thank you so much!” Alex pretended like he was looking forward to the proposition.
“But you don’t have any skills, and you only have a degree from a common university, so I’m afraid that you need to start from a part-time job.” Harry understood what Ginny meant, so he smiled and said.
“You’re quite tall, so maybe you can be arranged to be a doorman.”
Ginny laughed derisively because she thought that a douchebag like Alex was only smart enough to be a doorman.
