"H–how could that be? I–
impossible!" Terrence's eyes were bulging with disbelief. Although he did
not put much effort into the job, at least he didn't make any mistakes.
On top of that, he was carefree during his time
with the company because he had the backing of the higher–
ups. Given his social connections, it wouldn't
make sense for him to get fired. He couldn't wrap his head around the sit
uation.
"Terrence, you're fired?" Julie was bug–
eyed when she noticed the change in Terrence's expression. He had promise
d her the business contract, but how did he end up losing his job instead
?
"It looks like there's trouble." Dahlia furrowed her brows and appeared p
ensive. She had pinned her hopes on Terrence, but he wouldn't be of any h
elp anymore.
"Cole Suzman, be honest–
were you playing dirty behind my back?" Terrence fixed his gaze on Cole.
"Why would I do so when there's nothing between us? Plus, even if I wante
d, I wouldn't have the power to do that. You should look at yourself for
the reason," Cole said impassionately. He had long been frustrated by emp
loyees who were coasting at work, and he was more than pleased to see Ter
rence fired.
"Bullshit! No one else could have done that except for you! You must have
ratted on me!" Terrence glowered at him. He had embezzled money when he
was on the job, and Cole must have found the evidence.
"Well, if you insist on thinking so, I can't do anything
about it." Cole could not be bothered to explain himself. After all, he c
ouldn't care less since Terrence was no longer an employee.
"You're
wicked, Cole Suzman!" Terrence's features contorted into a threatening sc
owl. "If you think you've won, you're wrong! I'll let you know–
I have backing within the company. Even if I'm fired today, I will get re
hired
tomorrow!"
"Oh, really? And who's that person backing you?" Cole questioned him.
"You might want to sit down for this. My uncle is the CEO of the company!
" Terrence announced proudly.
"That explains why a guy like you would work your way into a managerial r
ole. It's all thanks to your connection!" Cole's expression fell He heard
about Terrence's jaw–
dropping social connections, but he never thought that Terrence was a rel
ative of the CEO. He worried that he might be in trouble.
"Are you afraid now?" Terrence sneered.
"Suzman, if you were the one who ratted me out, you made the dumbest mist
ake in your life. Apologize to me now, or you'll be the one who's kicked
out tomorrow!" Given his uncle's authority in the company, getting rid of
a manager was an easy task.
"Terrence Stone, don't be smug. Do you think you can do as you wish just
because you have connections?" Cole frowned disapprovingly.
"That's right! I can do anything I wish with the backing of my uncle. Why
? Are you unhappy about it? What are you going to do?" Terrence threw his
head back and laughed, knowing that he'd be fine in any crisis as long a
s his uncle was in the company.
"Terrence, I didn't know your uncle was the CEO! That's amazing!" Julle g
ave him a look of adoration. A department manager was nothing compared tothe CEO.
