"Sorry mam! I didn't have any other options! My family was starving! So... I …"the girl said while crying, she didn't dared to look up.
"How much did they give you?" Esther asked.
"Fivehundred" the girl replied.
"You are so foolish, Sasha(the girl)! You should have asked for more! It's ok! Go back to work and if you need any help don't be hesitant to ask me! Ok?" Esther patted on her back and made her look up, she smiled at the girl.
"Thank you mam!"
"David help her!" she ordered. David came and helped her the girl and took Sasha outside.
"So let's come back to the point! Anyone have anything to confess?" she asked and everyone stayed quiet.
"Ok, so no one! What about you Mrs. Adeline?" Esther asked and a woman in her thirties stood up. She looked up and started.
"My mom is sick and I needed money to buy medicine…"
"Really? You bought medicine for your dead mom? Not this necklace?" Esther asked pointing to the gold necklace on Mrs. Adeline's neck.
"You guys think that I am a fool? I am standing here after knowing who all were part , how much you all got and how muck you spend and how you spent it! I forgave her because she told the truth and as she did it because she doesn't have any other choice! Mrs.Adeline, Mr. Jacob, Miss. Alina and Mr. Sam!" she calls out there name. The four of them stood up fearfully.
"You are fired!" she said. "Don't forget to pay back the money you got. Now the remaining can go back to work!" saying this Esther left the conference room.
"David, investigate whether Sasha is on need for money and if yes give her a salary hike."
"Ok mam!"
"And arrange a special shareholders' meeting next day to expel Salena Brown from her position!"
"Ok mam!"
"I have a meeting with advertising department, right?"
"Yes mam!"
"Lets go!"
****************
(9pm)
A girl in her late twenties marched into Esther's cabin even without knocking.
"Oh! Isn't our princess Salena? What is the reason behind your appearance here and now?"
"You bitch!"
"Mind you words! Or else I'll pull that bloody tongue off your mouth!"
"So it is true that you really want to make this company yours! So you are trying to remove us one by one!"
"Think whatever you want and also enjoy your free life now as you won't be able to after this. Don't forget that you robbed around 1 crore from my company! I'm gonna make you pay and sue you! "
"Esther you can't do that! I am your cousin afterall!"
"Whoawhoa! That's a new discovery! I thought that you were ashamed to consider me as your family!"
"Esther please!"
"If you have nothing more to say, please get out as I have work, not like someone!"
"Esther…"
"David!"
"Yes ma'am!" David rushed in.
"Please show our Salena madam the way to go out!"
"Salena ma'am please come!"
"No, can't you see that I am talking with her?"
"David, no need to show her any respect! She is just a thief! Deal with her how you deal with a thief!"
"Ok ma'am! Get out of here please!" David said pulling her by hand.
"How dare you touch me, You son of a bitch!"
"David, you are being too nice to her!" Esther commented, smirking.
"Wow! Esther! Is it true that you have a secret lover now! So you got rid of Oliver for him ,right?" Salena said smirking. She knows Esther's weak spot. Esther's face fell.
"David, next second I want her out of my cabin!" Esther said, her eyes red.
With this David dragged Salena with him out of the cabin.
