I cleared my throat and gave my assistant a look, brows pinched, signaling her to explain.
She stepped forward with a crisp smile. "Brendan Sanchez and our chairwoman, Ms. Henson, have been secretly married for years. But as you all just witnessed, he's been having an affair with Cindy Pruitt. Ms. Henson is filing for divorce, and effective today, the board of directors has voted to strip Brendan Sanchez of all positions within the company."
"What?" The guy with the acne stared blankly. "You're the chairwoman? Then why didn't you say so earlier?"
"If she had, would you have shown your true colors?" The assistant let out a cold scoff. "Security, escort these people out."
"It's over. We're actually fired. I worked so hard just to land this internship!"
Someone broke down crying. "Ms. Henson, please, give me one more chance! I know I was wrong!"
"My parents are counting on me to make something of myself. I really can't lose this job at Henson Sterling!"
"This is all Cindy Pruitt's fault!"
"Exactly! She's the homewrecker, and she used us as her attack dogs against the real wife. She owes us compensation!"
