Chapter 4 Ex–lover
Emelie questioned, “What exactly does Mr. Middleton wish me to explain?”
“Why fire her?” asked William
Emelie plainly explained, “She was responsible for the mistake in the Waypoint Corporation contract as a decimal was incorrectly placed.
“Fortunately, our strong relationship with the client softened the impact. According to our policy, a new employee whose significant error endangers the firm’s interests is subject to dismissal and potentially additional consequences.”
Hearing this, Daphne’s face drained of color, a mix of fear and anxiety seizing her. “I was too careless, my apologies…”
William gave her a look, one that was meant to be reassuring, then said to Emelie, “Show me the
document.”
Emelie put down the document.
William flipped through the document to its end, only taking a brief look before tossing it back onto the
desk.
He said, “This date marks your unexplained absence. Had it not been for your absence, the responsibility of this contract would not have fallen to Daphne, a newcomer.”
Emelie was incredulous. “Is Mr. Middleton implying the fault lies with me?”
“You’re the head of the secretarial department. You should accept the blame.” William’s response was direct, showcasing an unmistakable bias in favor of Daphne.
Emelie suppressed her frustration and argued, “Setting aside that I was on leave when she joined, even if she didn’t know how to handle it, she could have asked someone else or simply not taken it upon herself. Since she made her own decision and volunteered, she should bear the consequences.
“Moreover, one must either be a top graduate from a professional institution or have an outstanding work record to enter the secretarial department. An art student hardly qualifies to set foot in there.”
William asked, “What if I insist on keeping her?”
Emelie replied through clenched teeth, “The secretarial department is fully staffed, we don’t need an assistant. If Mr. Middleton insists on keeping her, then assign her to a different position.”
William looked at Emelie. Her lips pressed tightly together, showing a stubbornness reminiscent of how
she was three years ago.
He smirked slightly. “Since the secretarial department is fully staffed, she will replace your position.”
Emelie was utterly taken aback at his words.
A cold realization dawned on her upon grasping his intention.
Chapter 4 Ex-lover
She understood that dismissing Daphine would displease William, yet she had not anticipated such
intense repercussions.
It seemed that she had misjudged William’s fondness for Daphne and overvalued her own significance to
The other two secretaries asked in surprise, “Emelle, where are you going?
