Zoe, who had been listening on the sidelines, couldn't believe her ears when she heard Charlotte's words. This woman had no shame. She had clearly made a mistake, and Ava was kindly not pursuing it, merely asking her to resign. Now she had the nerve to threaten labor arbitration? Wasn't that just a veiled demand for money?
"Charlotte, if you don't want to work in the design industry anymore, go ahead. I don't mind. After all, a plagiarism scandal would ruin anyone's reputation," Zoe chimed in.
Charlotte's expression changed multiple times. She didn't want to leave just like that. Even if it was her negligence, Ava's approach seemed too harsh.
But when she met Ava's icy gaze, she couldn't say a word. In the end, she had to compromise.
"Ava, this was my mistake. Can you give me a week to find another job? I've worked here for so long, if nothing else, I've put in a lot of effort."
