Mia hated the man on the other side of the phone, and she was eager to take over the phone and ask the man not to annoy Irish ever again.
The president of the Psychological Association didn't get annoyed by Irish's poor attitude but then continued, "I know you have resigned, but aren't you going to be in this business anymore? Irish, it is impossible for you to work on your own in the psychological field. I am sure you are clear that if you are not going to save your reputation, people will not admit your working capability at home and abroad. The only way to prove yourself is to accept the psychological assessment."
"I admit that I have some memory problems. Unfortunately, someone in the psychological association has taken away my psychological report from Fredrick. I am sure you are clear about it."
"But the assessment was made by Fredrick, your tutor. So you need to accept further treatment."
Irish tried to calm down and gnashed her teeth to continue, "No, I am not going to accept any treatment or examination in the hospital. And I won't work in the psychological field anymore." Irish hung up the phone as she finished the sentence.
Soon her phone rang again, but this time Irish didn't answer it but hung up again.
Hesitant, Mia still stepped to her and asked, "Sister, are you okay?"
Irish said nothing but just shook her head slightly, and obviously, she was disturbed by the man at the other end of the phone.
Irish put her hands in her hair and lowered her head.
Irish looked absent-minded when she went to the supermarket with Mia. It was not until Mia reminded her that she had taken several repeat goods that Irish realized that she had lost her thoughts for a long while. A moment later, her phone rang again.
Irish was in a bad mood and thought it must be the president of the psychological association, so she took out the phone indignantly. However, it was Cassie who called her this time.
Irish put it through, but it sounded like Cassie was more irritated than Irish.
"Fredrick did that deliberately, right?" asked Cassie directly.
Hesitant, Irish was at a loss for what to say.
Obviously, Cassie got to know she had resigned.
A few seconds later, she then said, "Cassie, leave it alone."
"Why? You are my best friend. I am not going to leave it alone," said Cassie indignantly. "He really went too far," added Cassie.
Cassie hung up the phone as she finished her sentence.
Standing there in the stillness for a long while, Irish hesitated to meet Cassie at once because she was afraid Cassie would come to Fredrick. Thinking of this, Irish made a call to Roy without hesitation.
Luckily Roy happened to finish his flight and answered the phone immediately.
But to her surprise, it was Roy who took the initiative to talk to Irish.
"Why did you resign?" asked Roy.
Irish was speechless at his question and kept silent for a little while. But when she was about to say something, her Uncle Steven's call suddenly came in. Seeing this, Irish hastily started her conversation with Roy.
"Roy, I need to make short for long. Cassie might have gone to Fredrick. Go and find her back. Hurry!"
Roy hung up the phone immediately as he heard this from Irish.
Irish put through the call from her uncle, but Aunt Mary's voice was heard at the other end of the phone.
"Aunt, I am fine. I could take some rest by this chance," Irish was trying to comfort her Aunt.
"I am worried about you. I know that you are wronged," said Mary.
"Don't worry about me. I am fine."
Irish persuaded Mary for several minutes and then hung up the phone.
Heaving a sigh, Irish felt like she had fought a battle.
Cassie got to Manhattan angry, and she couldn't control her irritation at the thought of Fredrick's remarks which also shocked her. But Cassie thought Fredrick was Irish's tutor, and it was impossible for him to push Irish into a tight corner. Then, however, she happened to hear the news that Irish had resigned from Linkus Mental Institution.
It irritated her, and she decided to speak for Irish.
As Irish's best friend, she was clear how much Irish loved her job, but now Irish's career was ruined by Fredrick. Cassie could not accept it and couldn't take the aggravation.
Fredrick was in his office when Cassie arrived. She rushed into his office before the receptionist could inform him. Fredrick was looking through some documents, and he hastily asked his secretary out. Cassie glared at him as if he was her rival.
Fredrick was also clear about what she was here for, so he stepped to the door, closed it, and stared at Cassie, who stood there seriously.
"Why are you doing this to Irish?" asked Cassie angrily.
Cassie asked him indignantly, but Fredrick still remained calm.
"What kind of answer do you want?" asked Fredrick slowly.
"Just give me the frank opinion," replied Cassie.
"Is it important for you?" asked Fredrick with a weird smile.
Obviously, Cassie didn't expect he would say this, so she stood there speechlessly.
"Leave it alone. It has nothing to do with you," continued Fredrick calmly.
Cassie was almost raging as she heard this from Fredrick.
"Why do you ask me to leave it alone? Irish is my best friend. What is more important is that you are Irish's tutor, friend, and beloved woman."
Fredrick trembled slightly and was shocked by Cassie's words.
"Cassie, it's a past story."
"Well, let's take the matter on its merits. Irish has resigned. Although I know nothing about this field, I am clear that she is forced to do that. How could you push her into such a tight corner?" asked Cassie, who tried her best to calm down.
Fredrick sighed, looking into her eyes, and responded, "I believe that she would appreciate me someday."
"Are you serious? Will she be appreciated after you forced her to give up her favorite career?" said Cassie sarcastically.
Fredrick was helpless since he had no idea how to explain it to Cassie. "In fact, Irish is not fit for this field," continued Fredrick.
"She has studied abroad for so many years and majored in psychology. What's more, she even won a doctor's degree, and she won many prizes for her thesis, but now you tell me that she is not fit for this job? Fredrick, do you still remember once you said that Irish was born to do this job?" argued Cassie.
Fredrick didn't want to debate with her, and he rubbed his temples and then said, "Cassie, if you come here to argue with me about this, then I have to tell you that I have nothing to say."
"It is because you dared not to say. Fredrick, you are so weird. You said that you only want to focus on specialized research and would never be a psychological consultant. But now you have become a psychological consultant in Key Group and even brought many troubles to Irish. Do you know what you are doing at the right moment? I am afraid you are the one without a sober mind," said Cassie indignantly.
"Cassie, you also said that you would get married to me before. But you slept with Roy and became his wife. Human affairs are always hard to predict."
