Chapter 2491

Forrest rejected indifferently. “More importantly, Assistant Childs, I’m not into you. So, I don’t see why I
should tolerate your parents for your sake. Since I’ve made it up to you, I don’t owe you anymore.”

He said it ina polite manner, hoping that Stacey had some self-awareness.“Assistant Childs, it was very
kind of you to save me, and I’m thankful to you. But please don’t force me with your kindness and make
me regret being rescued by you. When you were admitted to the hospital, your parents initially insisted
on me marrying you to return the favor. You claim that you don’t want any commercial properties. But
what if your parents come looking for me using this reason again after some time?”

Stacey was so embarrassed that she almost shed tears. “No, that won’t happen…”

“I’m sorry, but I don’t want anything unexpected to happen. I don’t want to be involved with the Childs
family either. I’ll get married and give birth to children one day. I don’t want my wife to be unhappy over
this matter.”

After Forrest finished speaking, he sat on the leather seat for a while. He believed that he had made
things clear enough.

Moreover, he was already married to Jessica. Although he still hated Jessica, he had his own principles
and boundaries. Given that he was married, he would not wrong his other half.

“I-I got it.”

Stacey’s eyes twitched. She was well aware that Forrest would be fed up with her if she continued to
speak.

“Well… President Lynch, my injury has actually healed. I think I can come back to work. With my ability,
Ican do some simple administrative tasks. It’s really boring to stay at home.” Forrest’s eyes settled on



her crutches. “No. In your current state, you can’t come back to work.” rf I…”

“What if you fall down? Who will be responsible for it? My company? Your colleagues?”



Forrest threw a series of sharp questions. “If someone takes a photo of you and shares it online, other
people will think that Lynch Corporation mistreats their injured employees. Sorry, but I can’t afford to
take the risk. Just rest well. You’ll still be paid.”

He was unhappy with Stacey’s behavior.

In fact, this assistant of his used to act maturely. Why was she not sensible now?

“I-I’m sorry, President Lynch. I was negligent.” Stacey wished the ground would swallow her up.
Originally, she did not want to come back to work either. She just happened to hear those words from
her colleagues, so she was afraid that someone would snatch Forrest away.

“Miss Childs…”

Forrest softened his tone and changed the way he addressed Stacey. “Your mom said that you came to
work in my company because of me. Actually, there’s no need for you to do this. You have an
extraordinary identity, and you’re capable as well. You don’t have to stoop down and be my assistant.
You can go back to your parents’ company. Don’t waste time on me.”

It was a huge blow to Stacey. Even so, she gnashed her teeth and said reluctantly, “President Lynch, I
didn’t come here to work just because of you. In fact, I enjoy the work environment at Lynch
Corporation. I’ve also made many friends over here.”



Forrest said nonchalantly, “Given that you’ve been performing well at work, I can’t fire you. But to avoid
the unnecessary trouble, you can’t be my assistant anymore after you come back to work. You can be
a supervisor.”

Stacey was dazed for a moment before she panicked. “President Lynch, are you under the impression
that I have the intention of pestering you? I—”

“Miss Childs, don’t make things difficult for me. Since you like Lynch Corporation, it should be fine for
you to take any role.” Forrest grew impatient. “PL get my secretary to send you back. I still have a lot of
work to deal with.”

With that, he pressed the internal phone number and had his secretary see Stacey out.
