Chapter 016 I Am The Boss I Call The Shot
Hogan’s series of movements were chic and lavish, but in Stacey’s eyes, her heart hurt slightly.
After paying, Hogan went out on his own, and Stacey followed behind him, somewhat uneasy in her heart.
“Mr. Barnes…”
In the middle of her words, Stacey suddenly stopped. She realized that she couldn’t mention the money thing, otherwise, Hogan would be even angrier.
“I’ll send you home, you don’t have to work tomorrow.”
He pressed the car key in his hand, and the car beeped twice.
Stacey stopped and asked, “Mr. Barnes? Am I fired?”
Although she couldn’t believe it, Stacey still had a hint of joy in her heart.
Hogan opened the door and got in the car, then he said in a cold voice, “Nice try.”
Stacey breathed a sigh of relief and stood where she was.
“Standing there waiting to die?” Hogan’s car reversed and stopped in front of her. He rolled down the window, and Hogan’s cold eyes met hers.
Stacey reluctantly opened the car door and sat in the
passenger seat, “Mr. Barnes, Mr. Butler, and Molly are a great team of lawyers. You are running a law firm here, so you don’t

need so many lawyers.”

The workload of the Barnes Group and his four lawyers could totally handle it.
“The company is mine, and I am the one who pays the wages.”
That was all Hogan said, but Stacey already understood what he meant. What he meant was undoubtedly, “I’m the boss and I call the shots.”
Stacey remained silent. Now, she understood the sentence more deeply, “All the rich are self–willed, and all the handsome are insane.”
“I keep you in the company because I want to torture you.”
Hogan’s words kept hitting her eardrums, reminding her over and over again that Hogan was a demon. She wanted to escape, but he reminded her again and again, “You can’t escape.”
There was nothing else to say along the way.
After returning home, Stacey lay tired on her bed. She turned off the lights and the room was dark, then sleepiness swept
over.
She kept dreaming one after one, until the next morning, Stacey felt much better
According to Hogan’s orders, she would take one day off today and continue to work tomorrow.
After watching the case all morning, Stacey received a call from Matthew in the afternoon.
She put away the files, and sat on the bed, said sweetly, ” Matthew?”
When she talked to Matthew on the phone, the corners of her mouth raised slightly unconsciously.
“Stacey, Norma says you don’t feel well.”
Huh?
Stacey was stunned. When she got home last night, she didn’t seem to tell Norma that she was sick.
“I didn’t tell her!”
“You cough so loudly, of course, she can hear you.”
Hearing what he said, Stacey suddenly realized that her throat was very uncomfortable last night, but it was much better
now.
It was just that Norma found out that she was sick, why didn’t she come to ask her, and why did she call Matthew?
“I’m better now. I had an IV and took medicine yesterday.”
Having said that, Stacey paused for a moment, and the image of Hogan suddenly appeared in her mind.
She had no memory of how she got the IV, but fortunately, she fainted in time.
“Really?” Matthew was still worried, after all, Stacey always didn’t take good care of herself when she was alone in Paris, and even endured illness.
“Sure.” Although Matthew couldn’t see, she still smiled and

nodded foolishly.
“Well, take care of yourself and take your medicine. obediently.” Matthew didn’t forget to remind her because Stacey was really not a girl he could be reassured.
“I know, grandma.”
Stacey said so, but her heart was warm.
“Are you at work?”
“No, today is off.”
Hogan gave her a break out of the blue. Stacey rubbed her temples, the Barnes Group really didn’t seem to need her very much.
“Is that so?” Matthew suddenly fell into deep thought, and for a moment, he said, “Since you’re not working, I’ll take you out for a meal!”
“Aren’t you working?”
After returning to LA., Matthew also inherited his family
business.
The Rogers Family was also big. If he tried hard enough, his company completely had the chance to compete with the Barnes Group.
Stacey had seen how busy Hogan was at work every day. Matthew just took over the company not long ago, and the workload must be even heavier, so Stacey didn’t want to disturb him in many cases.
“I’m the boss, I have the final say.” In Matthew’s heart,

business was not as important as Stacey’s. He could fight again if his career was gone, but there was only one Stacey.
“It’s settled like this. You wait for me at home, and I’ll pick you up.” Matthew did as he said, turned off the computer, and got up to get his coat.
“Don’t drive so fast, I’ll wait for you anyways.”
“I will.” After hanging up the phone, Matthew immediately left his office. Although he agreed, it was impossible for him to drive slowly. He couldn’t wait to see Stacey.
Stacey let out a long sigh of relief. After she received a call from Matthew, her mood immediately changed from cloudy
to sunny.
Walking to the closet, she chose a piece of clothing to change into and combed her jet–black hair into a ponytail casually.
Then Stacey went out and went straight to Norma’s room. Norma was talking on the phone. When she saw Stacey, a meaningful smile rose from her face, and she hung up the phone.
“Be honest, when did you file a complaint with Matthew?” Stacey was sitting by Norma’s bed, raising her hand to pinch her neck. These two best friends were already used to fighting when they were together.
“I’m doing this for your own good. Women need friends when they’re sick, a boy friend.” Norma deliberately emphasized the word ‘boy‘. Even a fool could see that Matthew’s feelings for Stacey were not just friends. Stacey refused to take the initiative, so, as her best friend, she was always ready to help.

“I just had a slight cold, and I’m fine now.” Stacey snorted, it was not a big deal, why bother him?
“You dress up, where are you going?” Norma sat up from the bed and pulled Stacey’s clothes.
“Dine with Matthew, do you want to join?”
“Uh–uh.” Norma shook her head, wouldn’t she be the extra one if she went together, “You two go on a date, what am I going to do?”
“It’s not a date, it’s just a simple meal between friends.” Stacey flat–mouthed.
“You know it’s a date, Matthew knows, and I know too.” Norma stretched out a finger and poked Stacey’s heart.
Then she smiled triumphantly as if she had already mastered everything.
