The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison)

Chapter 122

Harrison's coolness really got to Roxanne.

Even though he was on the verge of losing his job, he was still comforting Roxanne with optimism.

Was that to stop her from worrying?

If her husband was a heartless man like Oliver, not to mention comforting her, it would be enough if he

didn't complain about her.

She really married a responsible good man.

She clutched Harrison's hand and said,

"Harrison, I'm truly sorry. I might have cost you your job and yet you're still comforting me."

"I won't get fired."

Harrison gently ruffled her hair,

"Why don't you believe me?"

"Nathaniel is your company's CFO. His word could cost you your job." Roxanne said.

How could she not worry?

Harrison was about to close the car door and let her go about her business, but seeing her so worried,

he couldn't help but stop at the door, bend down to look at her, and ruffle her hair again.

"I heard Mr. Caleb on the phone with our boss yesterday, they're planning to fire Nathaniel. He might be

out today." Harrison said.

"Really?" Roxanne asked.

"Do you think I would lie to you?"

He gently stroked her hair again, as if comforting her.

Sure enough, Roxanne felt the warmth of his hand.

Her wrinkled eyebrows involuntarily relaxed.

She let out a sigh of relief, but found something odd.

"Harrison, Mr. Caleb must be very busy. How did you happen to overhear his call with the boss?"

Roxanne asked.

"It was a coincidence. We were in the elevator together yesterday. As soon as we got out of the

elevator, Mr. Caleb received a call from the boss."

Every time he lied, Harrison was so calm.

He was used to lying.

Roxanne finally believed him.

"Nathaniel deserves to be let go, but why is he getting fired?"

"Didn't I tell you already? Nathaniel offended our boss' wife. Our boss spoils his wife. He can't stand

her being wronged." Harrison said.

"He really loves his wife." Roxanne said.

"Yes."

Harrison smiled, looking a bit self-satisfied, but Roxanne didn't notice.

She believed him and started the engine, "Alright, I’m off to the office. You should head up too."

Outside the car, Nathaniel was eavesdropping on their conversation, but he seemed to have not heard

clearly.

After Roxanne's red Porsche left, Nathaniel approached Harrison.

"Hey, what did you say? You heard Caleb and the boss say they're going to fire me?"

This really scared Nathaniel.

But in front of Harrison, he was acting all high and mighty.

Harrison ignored him and walked away.

Harrison didn’t need to lift a finger against him.

But Nathaniel was pestering him like a fly. He grabbed his arm and yelled,

"I'm talking to you! Did you hear me?"

Harrison glanced down at Nathaniel's hand gripping his suit sleeve.

His gaze was cold as ice.

Nathaniel was a little scared, so he involuntarily loosened his grip, but still held on tightly.

Harrison grabbed Nathaniel's hand and applied a little pressure, who immediately cried out in pain.

Nathaniel felt like his bones were being crushed by Harrison.

"Ah, ah! Hurts, it hurts!” Nathaniel shouted out.

That hurt?

Harrison only used a little bit of force.

He warned coldly,

"You're not qualified to talk to me."

After saying that, he let go, turned around and walked away.

His tall figure scared Nathaniel.

He had a kind of imperial majesty and deterrent power.

This was really strange.

He was just an ordinary IT programmer.

How could he have such a powerful deterrent?

Nathaniel was not satisfied.

He couldn't even deal with an ordinary programmer?

Feeling humiliated, Nathaniel decided to teach Harrison a lesson. He had completely forgotten about

the Rodriguez Group's boss wanting to deal with him.

Half an hour later, Nathaniel arrived at the IT department.

He found Mr. Lanny from IT.

Mr. Lanny was a middle-aged man with glasses and a bit of baldness. He led a team for project

development year-round.

When he saw the CFO come into his office, he immediately greeted him politely,

"Mr. Martinez, what brings you to our IT department today?"

Nathaniel closed the door tight, locked it, and directly told Mr. Lanny his purpose.

Hearing Nathaniel's words, Mr. Lanny frowned,

"Mr. Martinez, this is not easy to do."

"It's just firing a programmer. I've already asked HR. Harrison just started, he's still on probation, and

he didn't sign a formal contract. We can fire him on the grounds that he didn't perform well during the

probation period." Nathaniel said.

"He is indeed on probation, but he seems to have a strong background, so I dare not offend him." Mr.

Lanny said.

"What kind of background does he have?" Nathaniel asked.

"I'm not sure, but I feel his background is very strong." Mr. Lanny answered.

"To be honest with you. This Harrison is my half-sister's husband. They both came from the

countryside." Nathaniel said.

"Since he's your brother-in-law, why are you targeting him?" Mr. Lanny was confused.

"This is our personal dispute." Nathaniel said.

"Mr. Martinez, I really can't help you. Because Mr. Caleb personally told me to treat Harrison like a god.

Mr. Caleb said, I can't assign him work, just let him play in the office every day, but his salary should be

paid as usual." Mr. Lanny said.

"Is that really the case?" Nathaniel asked.

"I guess, this Harrison must be sent by headquarters. His status must be higher than Mr. Caleb's." Mr.

Lanny said.

"Impossible! He's a bankrupt small businessman. How could he be related to the headquarters?"

Nathaniel said.

"Why would I lie to you? This came straight from Mr. Caleb's mouth. Every time Mr. Caleb sees him,

he's all respect. How could it possibly be fake?" Mr. Lanny said.

Nathaniel asked, "How is this even possible?"

"Mr. Martinez, if you asked me to fire anyone else, I wouldn't hesitate for a second. But as for Harrison,

I wouldn't dare cross him." Mr. Lanny said.

Disappointed, Nathaniel had no choice but to leave.

But he wasn't ready to give up.

He did a round in the IT department and saw Harrison, right by the floor-to-ceiling window.

There he was, chilling at his desk, legs up, fast asleep.

His sleeping pose was super casual, like he was snoozing at home, totally disregarding that he was in

the office.

Nathaniel marched over, hollering, "Harrison, you think this is your house or something? Is this your

bedroom? Get your ass up!"

Such noise!

Harrison heard Nathaniel's voice, but he only slightly furrowed his brow, not moving an inch. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

He still maintained his casual pose, legs up on the desk.

This made Nathaniel even more pissed, "Harrison, didn't you hear me talking to you?"

Furious, he reached out to push Harrison's chair.

But the next moment, another firm arm stopped him.

Nathaniel turned around.

It was the HR manager from the personnel department, along with Caleb, and two guys who looked like

they were from headquarters.

Caleb glanced at the still sleeping Harrison, then at Nathaniel.

He said, "Nathaniel, I've told you, the big boss from headquarters has noticed you, but you still don't

know how to behave. You don't need to come to work anymore. Go pack your stuff now."

"Caleb, what kind of joke is this? Even if you want to fire me, there has to be a reason!" Nathaniel said.

"Multiple violations, embezzlement of company funds, is that enough?" Caleb said.

Caleb handed him the evidence of his embezzlement.

Nathaniel was instantly speechless.

At that moment, Harrison, who had been resting quietly, slowly opened his eyes.

He calmly pulled his legs off the desk, stood up, and gave Caleb a glance.

"It's too noisy here. Caleb, find me a quieter office tomorrow."

"Sure thing." Caleb said.

"I need some fresh air." Harrison said.

Harrison walked over.

When he reached Nathaniel, he paused.

He said nothing, just gave Nathaniel a disdainful look, but

Nathaniel was so scared he didn't dare to utter a word.

When he left, Nathaniel finally asked, "Caleb, who the hell is he?"

"That's none of your business. Just go." Caleb said.

"Caleb, he's sent from headquarters, and he shares the same surname as the boss. He wouldn't

happen to be a relative of the big boss, would he?" Nathaniel asked.

"I said, it's none of your business." Caleb said helplessly, "Nathaniel, if you still want to have a decent

life ahead, stop offending the boss' wife."

"When did I ever offend the boss' wife? I don't even know her." Nathaniel said.

"Then don't offend any woman. You can't go wrong with that." Caleb said.

HR hurried Nathaniel to pack his stuff and leave, and sent out a notice to all departments about

Nathaniel's dismissal.

Within five minutes, Nathaniel was out, security escorting him out like he was some stray dog.

Nathaniel stumbled as he was kicked out.

The things in his box scattered on the ground.

He picked himself up, awkwardly collecting his stuff.

Once again, he was humiliated in front of everyone.

His pride shattered once more.

But he had no idea when he had offended the big boss and his wife.

At that moment.

Roxanne sent a message to Harrison during her work: [Harrison, are you okay? Did Nathaniel give you

any trouble?]

Harrison forwarded the HR's dismissal notice of Nathaniel to Roxanne.

Roxanne: [Nathaniel was really fired?]

Harrison: [Didn't I tell ya? Nathaniel pissed off our boss' wife, so of course the boss wouldn't put up with

him.]

Roxanne: [Your boss must really adore his wife.]

Harrison: [What kind of husband wouldn't love his wife? I'm gonna spoil you rotten just the same.]

Roxanne: [You're such a pain.]

Harrison: [By the way, not only did I not get fired, but I also got promoted. After my pay raise next

month, I'm gonna hand over all my salary to you.]

Roxanne: [What, you think I'm some kind of housewife? I can earn my own money! You don't have to

give me all your salary.]

Harrison: [If a man doesn't give his wife his earnings, who else should he give it to?]

Roxanne sent a happy gif.

Such a man was really rare.

In the afternoon, like always, they left work together and happily went home.

Just as they reached the door, they smelled something delicious.

It kinda smelled like chili hash.

Roxanne loved that smell, "Your dad didn't come over, did he?"

Who else would cook them chili hash at home?

Harrison wasn't too fond of the smell of chili and onion. He couldn't help but cough when he entered.

But his wife loved this smell, so he had to get used to it.

He held back and didn't cough again.

Vincent saw them enter the house and hurried them to wash their hands for dinner.

"Vincent, it's been a while since we last saw you. What brings you here today?" Roxanne asked.

Roxanne washed her hands and was about to help out.

"I just missed you guys." Vincent shooed her away, "I don't need any help! You two just sit and wait to

eat. Only a salad left to make."

The family happily shared a meal together.

After dinner, Harrison volunteered to do the dishes.

Vincent cut up some fruit, and sat in the living room with Roxanne, eating and chatting.

"Anne, how far have you and Harrison gone? Are you guys ready to start trying for a baby?" Vincent

asked.

Roxanne paused in her fruit-eating action.

They just had their first night together last night, and today her father-in-law was already urging her to

get pregnant?

Roxanne felt a little embarrassed. Biting into her fruit, she nodded.

"So you're saying." Vincent was overjoyed, "You and Harrison are sharing a bed now?"

When Vincent came over today and saw that both rooms were made up, he was a little worried.

Now, he felt this was the best news he had ever received in his life!

"How long have you been sleeping together? Could you get pregnant this month?" Vincent asked,

"If you can get pregnant and if it's a girl, I'll be so happy that I won't be able to sleep tonight."

Roxanne was eating fruit with her head down, not daring to look up.

Although she was not a shy woman, discussing this kind of thing with her father-in-law made her feel a

bit embarrassed.

"Let nature take its course. Don't worry. We're not using protection." Roxanne said.

She was already 28, about time she had a child.

"That's good, that's good." Vincent said.

Vincent had been keeping tabs on Harrison's every move, so he knew that Harrison had fallen in love

with Roxanne a long time ago.

Now he was like a clingy dog, wanting to be with Roxanne every day, hardly ever going to the

headquarters of the Rodriguez Group.

So, it was within Vincent's expectations that they had started sleeping together.

Later, Vincent went to Harrison's room alone.

Harrison had just finished taking a shower and was walking out of the bathroom in a towel.

Seeing Vincent, he frowned, "Why didn't you knock?"

He quickly went to the bathroom to get dressed, then came back out and looked at Vincent, "What do

you need?"

Vincent was sizing up his son.

He was a spitting image of him, tall and handsome.

Back in the day, Vincent had won over Harrison's mother with his good looks.

However, while Harrison had inherited his looks, he hadn't learned his skills in wooing women.

So, it wasn't until Harrison was 32 that Vincent managed to find him a wife.

The guy was a virgin until the age of 32!

Though it was late, at least he and Roxanne had finally had sex.

Vincent looked at Harrison with a meaningful smile.

Harrison thought his smile was odd and asked,

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Harrison, you're a real man now. How does it feel? Have you finally discovered the true meaning of

life?" Vincent asked.

Harrison, drying his hair, frowned, "When was I not a real man?"

"A man isn't a real man until he's lost his virginity." Vincent said.

Harrison was speechless.

"Even though you were the boss of a big corporation, you weren't a real man." Vincent said,

"But now you're good! You've finally slept with Anne, so you're a real man now. Hurry up and let me

hold a granddaughter!"
