"So you're ready to get fired, huh? It will be difficult for you to get a job as long as I told all my connections to refuse your application," Vernon threatened.
Usually, this kind of threat would be very effective against Diamond, and Diamond was logical enough to know that she wouldn't get the same amount of salary working somewhere else.
Most of the time, Diamond didn't care about Mr. Phoenix Gray's personal problem. She just did what she was told by her boss.
But this time was different because it involved her best friend, whom she treasured. Even though she and Chloe had only known each other for a few months, she already knew that Chloe was a good woman who didn't have any ill intentions toward her.
So she felt obligated to defend her homegirl.
Vernon watched Diamond get silenced after he threatened her, so he assumed she had conceded and would obey him.
"So, are you ready to assist me?"
"No," Diamond refused.
