“Do you still want to deny it?”
Michael narrowed his eyes as he shot a cold glare at her. His voice was filled with an intimidating tone.
This caused Tiffany to tremble even more. Everyone in the meeting room stared at her and were
beginning to suspect her.
“Mr. Shaw, I really didn't do it! I'm innocent! Please find out the truth.”
Tiffany gazed at Michael agitatedly, her eyes reddening.
“You won't give up till the very end, huh?” asked Michael coldly before beckoning his secretary, who
immediately inserted a flash drive into the laptop.
Tiffany's figure appeared on the screen. The surveillance camera footage taken at the entrance of the
toilet captured how she had deliberately locked the door after I entered.
The surveillance camera footage was so clear that it was impossible for Tiffany to deny it anymore.
“Mr. Shaw, I...”
She knew that it was useless to keep denying it. However, when she was about to say something,
Michael interrupted.
“This is just a small part of it. There's more.” Not giving her a chance to reply, Michael stated coldly
while staring at her sharply.
Soon, the image on the screen changed to that of Tiffany turning the temperature of the air conditioner
to the lowest level.
Not only did she lock me inside the toilet, but she even turned the temperature to the lowest. It was
really lucky of me to survive till the next morning. If I was discovered a bit later, I might have died
freezing.
“Do you have anything else to say?” Michael asked Tiffany plainly after the secretary turned the screen
off.
“I'm sorry, Mr. Shaw. I really am! After doing that, I felt very terrified too. I only wanted to play a prank
on her and didn't expect the consequences to be so serious.”
As there was no way for her to rebuke him further, she admitted to her wrongdoings. However, she kept
trying to defend herself.
“Well, you did it. Do you need a reason to justify your actions?”
Michael's expression was still cold despite hearing her explanations.
“Mr. Shaw...”
Michael never condoned preferential treatment. Regardless of what the reason was, what was right
and wrong were clearly distinct. He would not forgive someone because of the reasons or justifications
they gave.
“Do you still want to deny it?”
Michael narrowed his eyes as he shot a cold glare at her. His voice was filled with an intimidating tone.
“You're fired,” stated Michael in an icy tone.
After glancing at her nonchalantly, he looked at the rest. “If anyone else does something like that again,
then you should just leave the company on your own!”
I was surprised when Michael fired Tiffany as I had expected him to simply punish her. After all, she did
not actually want to harm me. To my surprise, Michael actually fired her.
Because of that, my heart started beating rapidly. Did Michael do that because of me?
“I'm really sorry, Mr. Shaw. I promise that this will never happen again. Can you please forgive me this
time?”
Hoping to keep her job, Tiffany stared at Michael anxiously and apologized profusely. As it was a tough
feat to work at Joyful Success, so there was nothing more important than safeguarding her job.
“Why are you still standing there in a daze? Chase her out now!” Frowning impatiently, Michael
instructed the secretary coldly.
After receiving his orders, the secretary asked Tiffany to leave directly.
Soon, the meeting room was silent again, for no one dared to say a single word. I gazed into Michael's
dark eyes, not knowing if he did all that for me.
“Meeting dismissed!”
Michael did not say anything else. After glancing at me emotionlessly and saying those two words, he
left the meeting room.
Sitting at my desk, all that I could think of was how Michael had taught Tiffany a lesson in the meeting
room. I wanted to know what he was thinking about and whether his punishment was so severe
because of me.
“Anna, I think that Mr. Shaw treats you differently. Although Tiffany really crossed the line this time,
firing her was an exceptionally harsh punishment. Employees who have been fired from Joyful Success
could hardly find a good job anywhere else,” remarked Millie as she inched closer to me.
Now that even Millie thought that Michael was treating me differently, I felt even more unsure. However,
it was not easy to read Michael's mind.
“Mr. Shaw's a fair person, so I expected him to make that decision. I don't think that it's because of me.”
I remembered how Michael was together with another woman last night, and how he did not come back
for the entire night. Hence, it was impossible for a man like that to take those actions because of me.
He probably did it for the sake of the company.
I shot a glance at the CEO's office. Actually, I wanted to go in, and confront him on what was his
relationship with the woman from yesterday.
However, I was in no position to do that. Thus, I had no choice but to suppress all of my emotions and
thoughts.
I did not want to discuss anything about Michael, so I lowered my head and started to work. Suddenly,
there was a commotion in the department and everyone was discussing amongst themselves.
I glanced over and spotted a fashionably dressed woman walking toward Michael's office. That was the
woman with Michael yesterday.
Since she could come to the company and look for Michael so openly, it meant that they shared a
special relationship.
After she entered his office, she did not come out for a long time. I had no idea what both of them were
doing.
My colleagues in the department were discussing whether the woman was Michael's girlfriend and
praising her for her beauty.
The more they said that, the more upset and uneasy I felt.
“Anne, do you think that the woman who just came is Mr. Shaw's girlfriend?” Millie moved closer to me
again and asked curiously.
Since everyone was thinking that she was Michael's girlfriend, I was even more convinced about it.
Averting my gaze and suppressing my sadness, I tried my best to sound calm. “I don't know.”
“The woman who went in just now is really pretty. It's so obvious that she's from a rich family too! She's
a good match with Mr. Shaw.”
Millie did not notice anything wrong with me. Like the others, she kept praising that woman's beauty.
I knew for a fact that a woman who could catch Michael's eye would definitely be good-looking.
