The next day, in front of everyone, Dexter rebuked my work, saying my performance review would be a C.
If I got a C three months in a row, I might be fired. Dexter was determined to ruin me.
My colleagues were furious but powerless against him.
Everly, clicking her heels, came over and insincerely advised, "Ashley, don't be too arrogant. Don't offend people easily at work; you have to do whatever your superiors ask."
Then she walked away, head held high.
I ignored her and remained calm. Around 11 AM, the company's OA system suddenly announced Dexter's termination.
The reason was the sexual harassment of a female employee.
Everyone was shocked. We had all assumed I would be the one leaving, but instead, it was Dexter who was shown the door.
The second file revealed that the boss, Ryan, had appointed me as his secretary, instantly elevating my status above Everly's.
Colleagues came to congratulate me while Everly turned pale, muttering, "Impossible... How could this be?"
I walked over to her, my slender fingers tapping on the desk, my voice calm. "You shouldn't be too arrogant. In the workplace, don't make enemies carelessly. You do what your superiors ask of you."
