Chapter 7

Penulis: Perfect Timing
A few coworkers couldn't hold it in and started cheering.

"That's about time!"

"I've been sick of Cassandra for ages. She was always bossing people around the office, and she even tried pinning this on Ms. Saccone."

"And Mr. Grant, too. He kept siding with her and stopped caring about the work. He totally had it coming!"

I waited until the noise died down before speaking again. "There's something else. Because we lost the bid, everyone had to pull an all-nighter, and a lot of you were worried your year-end bonuses would be affected.

"I'll make this clear. Anyone who worked overtime because of this will have their year-end bonus doubled. The company will also set aside 500 thousand dollars as compensation for everyone's extra work, and it'll be paid out next week."

The moment I said that, the cheers nearly blew the roof off.

"Thank you, Ms. Saccone! If you ever need anything, just say the word. We'll do our best to cooperate!"

At that moment, the office door was shoved open. A m

  • The CEO's Love Turns Me Into a Pet   Chapter 9

    Theodore nodded repeatedly. “Thank you, Ms. Saccone! No matter how this turns out, I really appreciate it."I called a few companies run by friends and explained Theodore's situation.A few days later, one of them called me back, sounding frustrated.During the interview, Theodore hadn't mentioned the real reason he was dismissed. He said he'd left Creation Enterprises because of "creative differences". He even tried asking about their core business operations."Yvette, that guy isn't reliable," my friend said over the phone. "There's no way we'd hire someone like that. Who knows when he'll leak company information again?"I hung up and shook my head helplessly.Theodore still hadn't changed. He kept looking for shortcuts and never reflected on what he'd done wrong.Not long after that, I heard more about him. He'd moved to one of our competitors and taken several longtime clients from the branch company with him.What he took, however, was client information I'd deliberately r

    After dealing with Imelda, I thought Theodore would finally disappear.I was wrong.That afternoon, I was going through some documents in my office when the front desk called. "Ms. Saccone, Mr. Grant is here. He says he needs to speak with you about something important."I frowned, but I still agreed and told them to have him wait downstairs.When I saw Theodore again, he looked worn down. He was nothing like the confident branch general manager he used to be.He sat across from me with his hands on his knees, rubbing his fingers together restlessly. "Ms. Saccone, I came to apologize. I messed up. I kept siding with Cassandra and misunderstood you. I know I was wrong for that."I looked at him and said nothing.Seeing my expression, he continued, "Ms. Saccone, I heard you're now handling the branch company. Could you give me another chance? I don't need a managerial role. I'll take any ordinary job. "My mother has been sick lately and needs money for treatment. If I can't find

    As I spoke, I had Joseph pull up Theodore's transaction records and the audio from his office.It came from the company's newly installed surveillance system. It hadn't been activated before, but the audio was retrieved after the files went missing.Theodore's face fell. He opened his mouth, but he couldn't get a single word out.The records and the audio were sitting there, plain as day. There was nothing he could say that would matter.Dad looked at him, and the disappointment in his voice was obvious. "When I handed the branch company to you, I thought you had the ability and the principles to lead it. "I didn't expect you to blur work and personal matters like this. I didn't think you'd let someone damage the company's interests or try to make an innocent employee take the blame. Creation Enterprises certainly doesn't need a manager like you."Dad took a deep breath, then announced his decision in front of everyone."Theodore Grant will be removed from his position as branc

    As Dad spoke, he flicked a look at the assistant beside him.Joseph Zane immediately stepped forward, opened his briefcase, and took out a stack of documents. He laid them out one by one on the dining table nearby."These are Ms. Saccone's attendance records from the branch company. She had perfect attendance every month, and she was never late or clocked out early. "This is the operation log for the bid files. Based on the deletion time shown here and the company surveillance footage, Ms. Callahan was the only person in Ms. Saccone's office area at the time."With every piece of evidence placed on the table, Cassandra's face went a shade paler. By the end, she collapsed onto the floor and braced herself with both hands."I-It wasn't me! It had to be a computer issue. The log was tampered with!""Oh?" I sneered as I crouched down to her eye level.My tone was calm, but every word hit hard. "Then why did you take the sticky note off my desk that day? You're in the office all the

    My tone was far from polite. If anything, it was openly contemptuous.Before Theodore or Cassandra could react, murmurs spread through the private room.Some people froze with their champagne glasses held midair. Others deliberately lowered their voices when speaking to those beside them.Curious, probing, and openly entertained gazes landed squarely on Theodore and Cassandra.Cassandra froze for a second. Then, she laughed sharply, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. "Yvette, are you out of your mind? You've been fired, and you'd dare talk to Theodore like that? "Do you have any idea what kind of connections he has in this industry? A word from him, and no company would be willing to hire you."As she spoke, she reached out to tug on Theodore's arm, trying to get him to back her up.Theodore's face darkened completely. He stepped forward and reached out to grab my arm, his voice full of impatience and disgust. "Final warning. Get out of here right now and stop embarrass
