Aaron placed two contracts before me, saying, "Lucia, after years of working together, I don't want to embarrass you. Esther made a mistake, but that's in the past. If you apologize to her and acknowledge that this incident was a misunderstanding, the assistant supervisor position will be yours."
"What if I refuse?" I asked.
Aaron's expression turned ironic. "Then get out of here!"
As our company was the best in the industry, he could end my career easily.
Seeing my silence, Aaron continued angrily, "As an employee, you shouldn't let personal feelings interfere with your work or create difficulties for your colleagues. I understand you may feel jealous of Esther, but this can't affect the company's reputation. Apologize or leave, it's your choice."
He slammed the table.
At that moment, Hector burst in with a few colleagues.
"Mr. Henry, the collapse of the exhibition hall was not Esther's fault. She targeted Esther because Esther discovered she intentionally sabotaged the emergency facilities."
"What?" I was shocked by this sudden accusation.
"Esther said Lucia created the accident to frame her out of spite for taking over the project. She even assaulted Esther, and we have video evidence."
