Jim stood frozen, utterly dumbfounded, a trace of awkwardness flickering across his refined features. After all, he was someone of considerable standing—or so he thought. Yet now… someone had dared to yell at him. Worse, someone had actually told him to… leave.
Well, apart from his boss and that vixen Monica, no one had ever treated him like this. And now, Cynthia had joined the ranks of those rare few. Jim suddenly felt like the world was conspiring against him. His once-pristine reputation was utterly wrecked.
As the main actors in the drama disappeared, the elegant woman in the back finally stepped forward. The moment Jim saw her, his despondent expression vanished, replaced by a frosty demeanor.
"Not a word of what happened here leaves this place!"
His sharp gaze swept across each employee like a blade, his voice merciless as he added,
"Otherwise… no mercy!"
The woman let out a helpless chuckle.
