Although Sarah looked somewhat calm, she was actually curious about who the woman was and what
she had done to offend her.
'Why is she targeting me like this?' she quietly thought to herself.
"Come on in. I have something to tell you," Chloe, the woman said.
Then, she turned to look at the assistant.
"Will you come in with us?"
The assistant vigorously shook her head as if she was frightened by something.
Looking at her, Derrick couldn't help but feel amused. She looked mature and stable, but why was she
so childish as to frighten an assistant?
Couldn't she see that the assistant was too scared to even move?
Chloe could feel that Derrick was looking at her and turned to look back at him. When she saw how he
was smiling so widely, she paused for a short while.
'Amused again?
Well, what are you so amused at?
Is there anything so funny?
What a freak! Where did Ashley find this guy?' Chloe wondered.
After pondering about it, Chloe walked back into the meeting room. The directors inside who were
looking out at them quickly turned their heads away and pretended to look at something else.
They picked up the papers in front of them, as if they hadn't been looking out the door at all. Chloe just
thought their behavior was ridiculous.
Then, she raised her eyebrows at them but didn't say anything.
She looked around and noticed that there were several chairs which had not been occupied.
Immediately, she decided that she didn't want Sarah to sit down. So she turned to Sarah and said,
"Well, I'm sorry. We don't have an available seat right now. Please stand here for a moment. You don't
mind, do you?"
Of course, Sarah saw the empty seats behind her. But she understood Chloe's actual intentions.
Obviously, the woman didn't want her to sit down.
Chloe was the CEO so what else could Sarah do?
Should Sarah pick a fight with her?
As she always did to everyone else in the company?
Sarah knew it just wouldn't work that way.
Besides, all of the people present belonged to the top management. Sarah could only ride the high
horse among the other people in the company. But here, in front of the directors and the CEO, she
dared not act rashly.
Fortunately, Ashley had gone back to J City. So it was Chloe who had to deal with her. Otherwise, if
Sarah saw Ashley on that seat, it was hard to imagine how Sarah would react.
The only thing was that Sarah didn't know what to do at that moment.
She shifted her weight from one leg to the other and thought that the new CEO was really hostile
towards her.
Otherwise, why wouldn't she let her sit on one of the empty chairs behind her?
Besides, Sarah had been standing outside for half an hour and she was even wearing heels. She could
barely stand on her feet now. However, she dared not act recklessly since Chloe didn't want her to sit
down.
The group of directors looked at Chloe and then looked at Sarah who was standing next to her. They
didn't know what Chloe was planning to achieve.
How could she make the top designer of the company just stand there?
But at that moment, Chloe didn't have the time to think about what the directors were thinking. All she
could think about was how to get rid of Sarah.
Countless plots in novels and movies suddenly flashed through Chloe's mind, but she then figured that
although it was really easy to write down what she wanted to do, it was much more difficult to actually
make it happen.
Pretty soon, she had enough of the drama. Chloe finally decided to fire her. There was no need to think
too much about it.
With these thoughts in mind, she looked at the directors and said, "Do you have any objections if I fire
her?"
Chloe thought that after she had fired Sarah, she could also accuse her of plagiarism, so that other
companies wouldn't hire her. Chloe was going to give her a taste what Ashley had gone through.
'Humph.
You should blame yourself for the way you treated Ashley, '
Chloe thought to herself, feeling a little proud of her decision.
But after thinking about it again, given Sarah's talent and position, it wasn't believable if she accused
her of plagiarism.
"Who?"
"Who are you going to fire?"
The directors were all shocked. 'Did she mean one of us?'
"Well, by 'her', I meant this woman standing next to me," Chloe explained, obviously in a good mood.
When Sarah heard this, she opened her eyes really wide and stared at Chloe in disbelief.
She even forgot how painful her feet were feeling because of her heels. She could only stare at Chloe
with her eyes wide open. She was so stunned that it was hard for her to come back to her senses.
She didn't understand why Chloe would fire her.
Meanwhile, the directors were just flabbergasted.
After a short period of time, they began to speak up.
"Why would you fire her? She is the trademark of our company and she has exceptional abilities. If we
fire her now, we don't know how much money our company might lose!"
Chloe rubbed her ears and seemed to not care about it at all. In fact, she wasn't concerned about the
losses of the company.
After all, her main purpose in coming to this company was to kick Sarah out.
She wanted to take revenge on Sarah for the way Ashley had suffered in this company.
Some directors didn't agree with her decision, but some of them did.
They had heard of how Sarah bullied others in the company a lot of times. And they loathed her for it.
Moreover, Sarah's appearance wasn't unpleasant.
In fact, she was very pretty, in a desirable and subtle way. She was about 1.7 meters high and was
wearing a pair of red heels and a violet dress. Her wavy hair flowed perfectly behind her. She wore
delicate makeup. Though she was over forty years old, she looked like she was in her early thirties.
Indeed, she had a very beautiful face.
But her behavior in the company wasn't as good as her looks.
So when the directors heard the rumors about her, they couldn't help but feel that she was repulsive.
Even though she had been behaving much better than before, the stories about how she bullied the
junior staff had spread like wildfire and it was hard to completely put it out.
Besides that, the assistants working for Sarah were also arrogant. She never called them out for that,
as if she thought that she was so talented so it was justified for her assistants to be proud and
conceited as well.
That made her even more unlikeable.
"I agree. Fire her!"
"I'm also with you. Our company needs a new group of designers."
"I disagree with all of you!"
One of the directors stood up, looked at Sarah and Chloe, and continued, "I wonder why Ms. Qiao
wants to fire her? You should know that she is the most capable designer in our company! And she had
also earned a lot of awards for this corporation! We can't fire her without a logical and acceptable
reason."
