    Unlike the others, Jared snorted in response. Zayne was furious at his reaction.


    “What’s with you, Jared?” Zayne asked with an irritated tone.


    “Oh, nothing. I’m just amazed at how a person with your puny departmental managerial post would


    dare to form cliques in thepany.” Contempt was written all over Jared’s face.


    “Okay, you’re right. I’m only a departmental manager. But too bad for you, I’m still your superior. Now,


    I’d like to announce that you’re fired!” Zayne let out a cold smile. Xavier was the one who wanted to


    keep you here only to humiliate you. But now that he’s gone, I have no reason to keep you around


    anymore.


    “You have no rights to fire me,” Jared answered tly.


    “I have the absolute right! I’m your superior! Whatever I say in the sales department is final. No one can


    stop me from firing you. Don’t you have a mansion already? What are you still doing here?


    Experiencing life? Leave now!” Zayne thundered. I must get rid of you. You’re like a ticking time bomb!


    All you do is disrupt my department.


    Upon hearing that, Maria jumped to Jared’s defense. “Zayne, Jared has just secured a contract with


    Cosmic Chemical. Must you…”


    “Shut up!” Zayne immediately cut Maria off. “Are you into him? Why are you defending him? Because


    of him, you bailed on the dinner I’d organized with all my heart. We didn’t even get to discuss our


    marriage! You’re into him, aren’t you?”


    Zayne’s words had put Maria on the spot, and awkwardness overwhelmed her.


    “W-What nonsense are you on about? That day, Jared was in trouble. All I did was inform his parents


    about it. Why would you think otherwise?” Maria exined hastily.


    “Cut the crap! No one can stop me from firing him today!” Zayne’s eyes widened as he red fiercely


    at Jared.


    Jared then came to a realization. Oh? So the reason you’re in such a terrible mood today is that Maria


    bailed on the dinner for me?


    Everyone in the sales department stood quietly. No one was willing to defend Jared, not even Troy.


    Lydia was gloating within. Not because Jared was getting fired, but she was d to see Zayne and


    Maria getting into a fight. If they break up, I can finally get together with Zayne!


    Indeed, Zayne had cheated on Maria with Lydia multiple times. Throughout the affair, Lydia was always


    the initiator. She had even be Maria’s best friend just so that she could spend more time with


    Zayne.


    Ultimately, Lydia was over the moon about the damaged rtionship between Zayne and Maria.


    “Mr. Carlson, why would you…” Hilda tried to defend Jared.


    “Shut your mouth! If you wish to quit, then get lost as well!” Zayne cut Hilda off in anger.

    With an emotionless gaze, Jared said, “You have no right to fire me. If someone were to get fired today,


    I have a feeling that person is you!”


    “What are you talking about?” Zayne burst intoughter. “Jared, stop being so full of yourself! I’m the


    head of the department. Unfortunately for you, that means I’m your superior. I can fire whoever I wish!


    Who’s going to fire me? You? Come on, know your ce!”


    “I do know my ce. It’s you who can’t seem to figure out where you stand. Soon you’ll find out which


    one of us is getting the boot.” Jared then went back and sat down at his desk.
