"Why haven't you been coming to the office lately?"
Over the phone came the questioning voice of Gavin Jenkins, "Now that you are the Design Director of Claire, you should be responsible for your work. How is it that you are not performing as well as before?"
Amanda Jenkins' mind flashed back to the last time she visited the hospital, and Gavin's attitude then.
That day, she and Kent narrowly escaped death in a big fire, but Gavin didn't offer a single word of concern, instead, his first words were to plead on behalf of Anastasia Jenkins.
She let out a cold laugh, "Then you'll have the perfect excuse to fire me."
Perhaps Gavin never really wanted her to become the Design Director.
She had attained this position entirely through her own ability, decided by a vote in Claire Attire's Board of Directors' meeting, without pulling any strings or going through the back door.
