Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 17

Coy's expression soured, believing that Charlene was using her position to get special treatment. "Ms. Ross, please watch your attitude at work. Do you think this is your home?"

Charlene picked up her purse, her demeanor unchanged. "If you're unsatisfied, you can fire me right now."

"You—"

He had accompanied Thorne to Goldland but was also aware of Charlene's resignation letter. Although he had Thorne's trust, the company wasn't his domain. Coy didn't have the power to tell Charlene to leave.

Moreover, Charlene was in good graces with Irma. If Charlene complained there, even if Thorne backed him up, it wouldn't end well for him.

Without paying him any mind, Charlene left.

Coy's face turned a shade greener as he left the secretarial department.

Josh noticed his foul mood and asked, "What happened?"

Coy relayed the incident.

Josh was stunned.

Usually, he interacted with Charlene more frequently and knew her character well.

He couldn't help saying, "It doesn't sound like something Charlene would do. Is there some misunderstanding?"

"There's no misunderstanding. It happened exactly like that. Charlene is exploiting her status. She's not as commendable as you've described."

Josh paused. "Maybe she's acting out because she's resigning?"

But Charlene had been actively working lately, just as before.

Right then, Thorne approached. "What's going on?"

"It's about Ms. Ross. She left work unfinished."

"If you're dissatisfied, just follow the procedure to dismiss her." It was clear Thorne didn't care much about the situation.

Josh and Coy were stunned, not by Thorne's indifference toward Charlene's situation, but by his implication that he was unaware of her resignation letter.
