I felt desperate and had no more attachment to Janet. When I returned to the office, I was told that I had been removed as the deputy general manager.
"Janet, you're awesome. Did you let Harry replace me so soon?"
I sneered in my mind, and I didn't have to think about it to know that the person replacing me was Harry.
"Mr. Edwards, you can't go in there!"
I was stopped by my secretary as I was about to enter my office. "Mr. Johnson specifically told me no one is allowed inside, especially you. He said you don't have any position right now, so you're not eligible to enter the office area for senior managers!"
Mr. Johnson?
Sure enough!
"You can do your job. If anything happens, I can take responsibility myself!"
I ignored the secretary and went in, but of course the secretary didn't dare to stop me.
When I entered my office, I realized that it had been redecorated, and Harry's name was written on the deputy general manager sign on the desk. Everything that was familiar became unfamiliar.
I called Janet in exasperation.
When the call connected, Janet's impatient voice came through. "What's the matter? Is something wrong?"
