All these years, I’ve been utterly devoted to Daniel Walker—not just emotionally, but in my work as well. To secure more contracts for the corporation, I spent countless nights negotiating with clients.
And what did I get in return? A stinging slap and baseless accusations.
If his assistant could so easily fire me, then what was I in his eyes? Less than the dog he kept at her side?
“Do I look like someone who can’t separate feelings from work?” I muttered.
Michael Harris still wanted to press me for answers, but I was so fed up that I slipped away under the excuse of going to the restroom. He wasn’t the type to abandon me anyway.
Once I’d cooled down, I remembered that I had some private files left on my office computer. With no choice, I contacted my deputy to help me get back inside.
But just as I reached the office door, I ran into Emily Johnson.
“Who let Sophia Carter in here? Don’t you know she’s already been fired from the corporation?!” Emily barked.
Startled, my deputy stammered an apology.
“You don’t even have basic confidentiality awareness. You’re fired too!” Emily shouted.
“Fired? You don’t get to decide that! Bring Daniel here!” I snapped.
