Arianne walked toward Janice’s desk and rapped her knuckles on the table. “You’re dismissed.”
Janice lifted her head and looked at Arianne in confusion. “Excuse me? What did you say, Mrs. Tremont?”
Arianne repeated herself. “I said, you’re dismissed. You’re fired so there’s no need for you to return.”
Janice’s face paled immediately as a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes. “Why?!”
Arianne cocked an eyebrow and said, “Are you sure you want me to reveal the reason in front of so many people? I suggest you leave without asking too many questions to preserve your dignity. I’m telling you this as a courtesy since we’re both women.”
Janice gritted her teeth. “I refuse to leave. You don’t even work here so you have no right to fire me even if you’re the CEO’s wife. You don’t have to hold back, you can just tell me the reason you’re firing me. I’ve done nothing to be ashamed of.”
No right to fire her? Janice’s words thoroughly angered Arianne. “Is that so? You think I have no right to fire you? Well, I guess there’s truly no need to hold back. What do you take the Tremont Group for? A place where you can work and earn honest money during the day while you work in a bar part-time in a bunny costume, prancing around and seducing all kinds of men? The Tremont Enterprise has no need for employees like you. Since I can’t control what my employees do after work, then, I can only fire you. You don’t have to bother asking on what grounds am I firing you for. All you have to do is leave. If you’re dissatisfied, I can call Mark now and put him on speaker so you can hear for yourself if he has any objection to you leaving.”
