Stanton Corporation's lounge.
Ivy Harrison’s face was pale as she sat there, looking somewhat disoriented.
The news of her dismissal had not yet been announced, so it was still not too late.
Eli Harrison used a lot of effort to place her in Stanton Corporation. Ivy dared not imagine how she would return to her worthless self if Eli found out that she had screwed everything up.
Ivy had come a long way from being an illegitimate daughter and was one step away from getting rid of those nightmares from her past.
At this moment, she felt like she was hanging from the edge of a cliff. One wrong move would pulverize her.
"Ms. Harrison."
Ivy suddenly stood up. She was nervous and apprehensive.
Logan walked over politely.
"Ms. Stanton has two meetings back-to-back and can't take any time out now. Please go back."
Ivy spoke with a pale face. "I don’t understand. Why a m I fired so suddenly?"
She still secretly had hopes that what she had done would go unnoticed.
Ivy was even so nervous yesterday when she was ignored and humiliated by Eric.
As long as she stayed in Stanton Corporation, she still stood a chance.
Ivy refused to give up.
Logan laughed lightly. "Ms. Harrison, you'd have to ask yourself what you’ve done to offend Ms. Stanton."
He did not need to ask why Nicole was so angry and h e had enough ways to deal with even the most roguish people.
Ivy's face turned paperwhite. Her eyes sank in an instant.
It had only been one night since that incident, so how could Nicole find out so quickly?
Ivy bit her lower lip.
"I want to see Ms. Stanton. I must explain to her personally. If she's not satisfied with anything I’ve done, I can apologize to her."
She looked so aggrieved like she had endured all the unequal and unjust treatment.
The two of them were far from equals.
Thus, Ivy was not qualified to meet Nicole.
Ivy stood there in panic and apprehension, surrounded by bodyguards. "Please..."
If Ivy left Stanton Corporation, her situation would be even more miserable when she returned to the home that was not hers, but she had no other choice.
'Why? Did Nicole already find out about that incident?'
Ivy stood there stiffly under the sun outside the office building. Even so, the hot sun did not give her a hint o f warmth. Instead, she felt a chill that slowly extended from the soles of her feet up to her spine.
Nicole did not even have to question her, nor did she bother to listen to her explanation. She did not want t o listen to Ivy’s sophistry.
Perhaps Nicole had expected that Ivy would deny it even if she confronted her.
There was never a moment when Ivy felt so weak as she was now, sitting on the garden steps at the entrance while drenched in a cold sweat.
Ivy looked up at the tall, luxurious skyscraper that was right in front of her that looked like a cold-hearted giant beast ready to swallow her whole.
She was merely a lowly person that did not deserve to step foot inside.
