The Night I Let Go novel Chapter 92

Zachary called in a few other interns to understand the specific situation.

After understanding the situation, he let them leave. He learned that Clay was their group's hardest-working and most dedicated intern.

However, about 20 minutes earlier, Danny approached Clay, dumping the workload from other interns onto him and demanding he finish everything by noon.

It was obvious that this was a deliberate attempt to make things difficult for him. Frustrated, he confronted Danny, who reported him to Shawn for his poor attitude.

Shawn didn't bother to investigate further and simply advised him to leave.

Zachary understood the situation clearly. Shawn and the others had intentionally made life difficult for Clay, and their motives were all too apparent.

"Don't worry. No one can force you out as long as I'm in this company. Put your things back for now. I'll handle this matter," Zachary reassured the somewhat downcast Clay and then sent him back to his desk.

After a moment of thought, he took out his phone and called Anya.

He briefly explained Clay's situation to her, not as a report, but to give her a heads-up.

Since he was planning to take action against the old-timers who had formed cliques, he wanted to ensure she was prepared for what was to come.

After all, even though he was in charge behind the scenes at Yel Corporation, he still needed to give her the respect she deserved.

Shawn and Danny arrived at Zachary's office just as he hung up. They were ready to accuse him. "Mr. Lloyd, Danny is a member of our team. It seems improper for you to fire him without reason!"

Shawn's tone was aggressive, and his expression was displeased. From the look, one might think he was the manager instead.

Zachary couldn't be bothered to explain. Instead, he retorted, "Are you questioning my decision?"

"Although you are the deputy manager, you can't fire someone without cause. Your actions could have a very negative impact on the company. If other marketing department employees hear about this, what do you think they'll think?" Shawn spoke with righteous indignation.

Zachary scoffed coldly, "Shawn, you're just a team leader. Who gave you the right to spout off in front of me? And by the way, did you complete the tasks I assigned to you yesterday?"

Shawn's face fell when Zachary mentioned the previous day's tasks. He snapped, "The workload you assigned was too much! Even if I stayed up all night, I couldn't finish it. You're just trying to make things difficult for me!"

Zachary huffed. "So you know the workload is too much? Why didn't you consider that when you dumped all the data sorting tasks onto Clay yesterday?"
