Do you still want to deny it?”
Michael narrowed his eyes as he shot a cold glare at her. His voice was filled with an intimidating tone.
This caused Tiffany to tremble even more. Everyone in the meeting room stared at her and were beginning to suspect her.
“Mr. Shaw, I really didn’t do it! I’m innocent! Please find out the truth.”
Tiffany gazed at Michael agitatedly, her eyes reddening.
“You won’t give up till the very end, huh?” asked Michael coldly before beckoning his secretary, who immediately inserted a flash drive into the laptop.
Tiffany’s figure appeared on the screen. The surveillance camera footage taken at the entrance of the toilet captured how she had deliberately locked the door after I entered.
The surveillance camera footage was so clear that it was impossible for Tiffany to deny it anymore.
“Mr. Shaw, I…”
She knew that it was useless to keep denying it. However, when she was about to say something, Michael interrupted.
“This is just a small part of it. There’s more.” Not giving her a chance to reply, Michael stated coldly while staring at her sharply.
Soon, the image on the screen changed to that of Tiffany turning the temperature of the air conditioner to the lowest level.
Not only did she lock me inside the toilet, but she even turned the temperature to the lowest. It was really lucky of me to survive till the next morning. If I was discovered a bit later, I might have died freezing.
“Do you have anything else to say?” Michael asked Tiffany plainly after the secretary turned the screen off.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Shaw. I really am! After doing that, I felt very terrified too. I only wanted to play a prank on her and didn’t expect the consequences to be so serious.”
As there was no way for her to rebuke him further, she admitted to her wrongdoings. However, she kept trying to defend herself.
“Well, you did it. Do you need a reason to justify your actions?”
Michael’s expression was still cold despite hearing her explanations.
“Mr. Shaw…”
Michael never condoned preferential treatment. Regardless of what the reason was, what was right and wrong were clearly distinct. He would not forgive someone because of the reasons or justifications they gave.
“You’re fired,” stated Michael in an icy tone.
After glancing at her nonchalantly, he looked at the rest. “If anyone else does something like that again, then you should just leave the company on your own!”
