When I finished speaking, some employees in the audience burst into laughter and a few people whispered to each other.

“She really thinks she's the Boss. How dare she talk like that?"

“That's right, she's just a girl who relies on her boyfriend to get ahead. She really thinks she's so impressive when she puts on a dress."

My face turned even darker. But I had always maintained a gentle attitude in the company, so I didn't want to let that kind of person got over me that day.

Mike obviously heard my question, so he answered provocatively, “Yes, you were laid off, so you were not allowed to attend the year-end meeting. You are fired, Miss Avery."

Then, he continued, “Everyone, our company is about to go public. Only when the people who should leave the company leave can we get through this period smoothly. After all, everyone wants to get a raise and promotion, right?"

After Mike said those statements out loud, the security guards came. 

I knew that no matter how hard I struggled, my power couldn't beat them. So, I chose to walk out on my own feet.
