Daddy, You Got The Wrong Mommy-Chapter 99: You Can Choose to Resign

Hawke Group.

Research and Development Department Locker Room.

"Good morning, Charlotte."

Elena Soo greeted Elara Don.

Elara Don was putting on a lab coat and turned back to smile at her, "Good morning, Elena."

"Charlotte, the man who performed on stage last night is your boyfriend, right?"

Elena Soo took off her jacket, retrieved her lab coat, and asked with a smile.

"Yes."

Elara Don paused her buttoning hand but didn’t deny it.

It was still early; he hadn’t come downstairs to wait for her this morning.

That relieved her a little.

"He’s quite talented; even the servers at the club were asking who he was."

Elena Soo smiled and praised.

A talented man is indeed quite attention-grabbing.

That man really made a splash last night.

For some inexplicable reason, Elara Don didn’t want him to make such a splash in the future.

She changed the subject, "Elena, don’t worry too much about your mom’s situation, there will be a way."

She didn’t know when Craig Landers would help Elena Soo.

For now, she couldn’t tell Elena the truth.

She could only comfort her a bit like this.

There will be a way.

Elena Soo said nothing, only a hint of complexity flashed in her lowered eyes.

After Elara Don left the locker room, she went into the laboratory.

She carefully checked the perfumes she’d newly formulated, examining them like a doctor.

Three weeks passed quickly.

In just a few more days, her perfumes would be ready.

Elara Don checked each one and was about to place the glassware back in its place.

At this moment, she noticed something was wrong.

She had a habit: for the perfume-making vessels, she liked to have the sealed part facing outwards.

But just now, she suddenly noticed that the sealed part was facing inwards.

How could this be?

Could someone have tampered with the vessels after she left?

This step was the final crucial step in the perfume-making process.

If someone tampered with it, the original scent couldn’t be achieved.

Elara Don’s expression turned serious.

Who exactly tampered with the vessels?

Was it intentional or unintentional?

She hoped she was just overthinking.

President’s Office.

In front of the expansive desk, Damon Hawke sat upright in his office chair.

The man’s posture as he worked was still dignified and commanding, mesmerizing.

A knocking sound came, and he calmly said "Come in," after which Sophie Harper entered.

"Mr. Hawke, you wanted to see me?"

Hearing the voice, Damon Hawke looked up from the document, tossing a file to her.

"Hawthorne Beauty’s high secretary took leave yesterday to return home for maternity. This afternoon, you will go to the Beauty Department to take over her role."

To have her serve as a secretary at the beauty division under Hawke Corporation?

She was demoted once again!

Sophie Harper couldn’t believe it.

"Mr. Hawke, why are you transferring me?"

In just a few days, she had been demoted from a senior secretary to a regular secretary, and now she was being relegated to a division?

Why?

"You don’t know? I thought you knew very well."

Damon Hawke spoke lightly, with sarcasm in his sharp eyes.

Sophie Harper was taken aback, her chaotic thoughts suddenly cleared.

"Mr. Hawke, are you angry because I let Charlotte receive Frank last night?"

Is that it?

Because of Elara Don again?

"What else?"

Damon Hawke stared straight at her, "Secretary Ford, I’ve warned you, but it seems you didn’t take my words to heart. Since you’re not a compliant subordinate, there’s no need to keep you around."

The man’s words were powerful, filled with intimidation.

Sophie Harper’s face alternated between pale and flushed, her fingers clutched tight, unable to say a word.

She did it deliberately yesterday.

Even though Elara Don had already drawn a line with him, why did he still stand up for her?

Moreover, Elara Don didn’t suffer any loss last night, did she?

"Leave."

After giving the order, Damon Hawke resumed his work.

"Mr. Hawke, I believe I didn’t do anything wrong yesterday! Letting Elara Don entertain guests was required for work."

Sophie Harper took a deep breath, "I don’t want to transfer to the Beauty Department, I want to continue serving at the headquarters."

"Whether it’s work-related or your own personal motives, you know it yourself."

Damon Hawke didn’t raise his head, but his tone grew heavier, "If you have objections, you can choose to resign."

If she didn’t want to go to the division, resigning was her only option!

Sophie Harper’s face turned pale, momentarily speechless.

At this moment, a female voice came from behind, "Damon, what are you doing? Why are you transferring Secretary Ford to my department?"

Vinny Hawke pushed the door open and came in.

Sophie Harper seemed to see a savior and went up to her with grievance.

"Miss Hawke."

Vinny Hawke patted her hand, her gaze falling on Damon Hawke.

Damon Hawke stopped working, "Sis, why are you here?"

"Answer my question first."

Vinny Hawke looked at him, "Why are you repeatedly demoting Secretary Ford? Is it because of Elara Don again?"

Damon Hawke looked back at her, his dark eyes serious, "Sis, it’s for work purposes, Secretary Ford’s abilities don’t qualify her for a position at headquarters."

"Ha! Secretary Ford is a long-time employee of the company; she wasn’t unqualified before, and now because of the presence of a woman, she’s suddenly unqualified?"

Vinny Hawke spoke forcefully, "Damon, I want you to revoke this order and reinstate Secretary Ford."

When his authority was challenged again, the displeasure on Damon Hawke’s face deepened.

"Sis, as the president of Hawke Corporation, am I unable to even issue a transfer order? Or should I call a board meeting to hand this position over to someone capable?"

The words were blunt.

Vinny Hawke and Sophie Harper both knew Damon Hawke was angry.

After all, the man in front of them was renowned in the business world, and he couldn’t allow his authority to be challenged repeatedly.

Vinny Hawke was stuck, seeing Damon’s sinking expression, her face didn’t look too good either.

She glanced at Sophie Harper beside her, signaling her to leave first.

Sophie Harper knew that this matter was likely settled, and although there was reluctance on her face, there was nothing she could do.

She could only leave unwillingly.

Once she was gone, Vinny Hawke curbed her temper, "Alright, I am your sister. Can’t you give me a bit of face in front of the employees?"

Damon Hawke didn’t speak, but his cold expression slightly softened.

"Sis, you know there are a lot of matters in the company. I also hope you can give me some face, don’t let people think I’m a useless president."

This sister was good in many ways, but her desire to control him was truly too strong.

It was frustrating and annoying.

"Alright, I’m doing it for your own good."

Vinny Hawke didn’t want to strain her relationship with Damon, her tone softened.

After all, she had important matters to discuss with Damon.

"Did you come to the company for something?"

Damon Hawke stood up and personally poured Vinny a glass of water.

"There is something, and it’s related to Elara Don."

Vinny Hawke said as she sat on the sofa.

Damon Hawke paused his act of pouring water, his sharp gaze directed towards her.

"What’s the matter?"

Look at that gaze, still protecting that woman like she’s his precious jewel!

Vinny Hawke felt uneasy, but she didn’t immediately get angry this time.

"Tonight, Hawthorne Beauty will host a banquet that involves promoting a beauty event. We need someone to explain aromatherapy, and my staff is not as professional as Elara Don, so I want her to accompany me to the venue."
