Take them away

“I want an easy-going job that pays me a lot of money,” I answered.

“Yet, you keep trying to get laid off”

I looked at the elevator number, hoping it would pass quickly. I didn't want to be trapped with Ethan anymore. We are getting close to the truth.

“You wouldn't understand”

He nodded without responding, and I was a bit relieved by his silence.

I thought the first thing that would happen was to face Sebastian. I wasn't expecting to be led into the secretarial department.

I later learned about Nick's dismissal, and I quickly remembered the announcement.

Even relatives will not be spared. Sebastian never goes back on his words once his mind is made up.

The message was clear.

When Wendy saw me, she congratulated me on my return to the secretarial department. I didn't mention anything about my relationship with Sebastian or the reason I was laid off.

At noon, I stood at the entrance of the conference room welcoming the top management, also Sebastian. His presence alone intimidated me.
