Plus, she did so on a short notice.
I also pointed out that they could use it as a validation for firing her in order to cover up the bribing and libel.

Since, as you said, she is only expected to show up only "few times a week," her elopement may or may not pose conflict with her work. Since there is no mentioning of this, and she still have a job, how "poorly" she has done can only be left to our speculations.
Again, I mentioned that we likely have come to a point where elopement is no longer a justifiable ground for dismissal (even in Japan), and I do believe that most will be shocked to hear that people today can be fired for eloping, even if it is depicted in an anime series. If you have heard of such instances, then I'd like to know more about it. I'll likely to remain incredulous though.
