Chapter 5

Author: Vespera
The moment my words fell, the entire hallway fell into complete silence.

Kara, in particular, looked as though she had completely failed to understand what I had just said. She suddenly raised her hand and pointed at me.

“Who the hell do you think you are?”

“What gives you the right to remove Damian from his position? Have you lost your mind?”

Damian’s face instantly turned grim.

The next second, he suddenly raised his hand and slapped Kara hard across the face.

“Enough!”

  • He Chose His Assistant. I Chose Myself   Chapter 10

    The office finally fell silent.I leaned back in my chair, closed my eyes, and slowly exhaled.I don’t know how much time had passed when there was a soft knock on the door.“Come in.”Evelyn pushed the door open and walked in.She glanced at me, concern evident in her voice.“President Claire, are you all right?”“I’m fine.”I opened my eyes and gestured toward the chair across from me.“Sit.”Evelyn sat down in front of me.After hesitating for a moment, she placed a document on the desk.“I just went through the Group’s internal personnel records again.”“There were indeed several employees who had been providing Kara with benefits for a long time.”“Some traded performance data for special treatment from her, while others used her connections to secure promotions and resources ahead of time.”She opened the file and handed me a list.“I’ve listed everyone involved here.”I took the list and quickly scanned through it.“Verify every single one again. Once the evidence is confirmed,

    The comments in the livestream suddenly stopped.Then, a prominent notification appeared in the center of the screen:【This livestream has been suspended for violating platform rules.】I pointed at the computer screen.“I have plenty more.”“The break room, the office, the conference room—even the hallways. If you don’t think what you just saw was enough, I can keep playing them.”It was only then that Damian finally came to his senses.His face was twisted with utter horror.The next second, he suddenly turned around and slapped Kara hard across the face.“This is all your fault!”“You were the one who kept clinging to me!”“Look what you’ve done! You’ve completely ruined me!”Kara’s face was knocked to the side.She covered her cheek, her eyes instantly filling with tears.“You hit me?”“Damian, how dare you hit me!”It was as if she had finally torn off her last mask.“If you hadn’t told me to handle things for you at the Group and given me the authority to make everyone listen to m

    My heart sank slightly.Out of the corner of my eye, I glanced at Kara’s livestream.The number of viewers had already surpassed twenty thousand.The comments were scrolling upward at an astonishing speed.【Newly appointed President, and on her very first day she’s already going after her own husband’s assistant? This is ridiculous!】【Don’t be afraid, beautiful! You’ve worked for the Group for ten years. Even if she’s the President, she can’t just fire whoever she wants, can she?】【Take this to the board immediately!】【It’s such a huge corporation. Is there really no one who can rein in this new President?】Seeing those completely uninformed comments made my chest tighten.Originally, I only wanted to handle everything according to the Group’s regulations.Terminate her employment, investigate the matter, and put an end to it.But Kara clearly had no intention of letting things end there.Not only did she fail to realize what she had done wrong, but she had also exposed the confrontati

    Damian’s Adam’s apple bobbed.He stared at me for a long time.“Claire, you’re divorcing me just because I gave Kara a bracelet?”“We’ve been married for ten years!”His voice grew more and more agitated.“Wasn’t I only afraid you’d overthink things after seeing that bracelet? That’s why I lied and told you it was for my mom.”“I just wanted to give an employee a little reward!”“A reward?”I raised my eyes and looked at him quietly.There was no anger in my heart.Instead, I felt frighteningly calm.“Damian, some lies are better left for you to believe yourself. There’s no need to treat me like an idiot, too.”I paused and picked up the documents on the desk.“By the way.”“HR will officially issue your termination notice this afternoon.”“Once you finish today’s work, you can leave.”Damian clearly hadn’t expected me to actually remove him from his position.His face shifted from pale to livid before finally darkening completely.“Claire! I was appointed Group President by a unanimou

    Seeing me sit down in the chair, Evelyn finally let out a slow breath of relief.“President Claire, actually, I’ve reported Kara’s problems to upper management several times before. It’s just that because of Damian…”“I understand.”I raised my hand to interrupt her.“Pull up Kara’s personnel file first.”Evelyn opened the system and brought up the relevant records before turning the computer screen toward me.I only had to glance at it a few times before my brows furrowed slightly.“She started out as a janitorial worker for the Group?”“Yes.”Evelyn nodded.“She was mainly responsible for the daily cleaning of Damian’s office at the time.”“But less than three months after she joined the company, Damian personally requested that she be transferred to the front desk.”“Less than six months after that, she was promoted directly to executive assistant.”“After that, she started establishing all kinds of rules…”She paused.“Including the restrictions on who could use the main entrance.”

She stood frozen in place, clutching her cheek.But Damian had already forgotten about her and hurried toward me.“Claire…”“Let me explain.”“There really isn’t anything going on between us like you think…”I looked at him coldly and immediately shook off the hand he reached toward me.“Don’t you think you should be calling me President Claire while we’re in the Group?”Damian froze.Kara also seemed to suddenly realize something.The color slo
