The next morning, Charlotte arrived at work a few minutes before 9 a.m., dressed sharply in a black pantsuit, a blue blouse, and black court heels.
Her hair was tied in a bun as usual, and her skin was flawless even without any makeup on her face.
She stepped into the office, spotting Mr. Caldwell, Victoria, and Ryan already at their desks.
"Good morning everyone," Charlotte greeted them warmly.
Caldwell and Ryan responded with polite nods, but Victoria simply ignored her, pretending not to hear. Charlotte, not minding Victoria's attitude, headed to her desk and settled into her chair.
Moments later, the door opened, and Mr. Harris entered briskly. His sharp eyes scanned the room before landing on Charlotte.
"Miss Williams," he said firmly.
Charlotte stood up, a polite smile on her face. "Good morning, Mr. Harris."
"Morning... Please, pack your things," he announced, his tone curt.
