Liza was at a loss for words but still attempted to defend herself, saying, “If you were in my ce, I wouldn’t have asked you to leave either.


    My aim was just to push you to do better.


    Why would I want you fired?”


    Teresa chimed in, “Madisyn, we’re all working together here.


    Don’t be too severe.


    Give Liza a second chance.


    ”


    “Really, Madisyn, I’ll stoping after you”, Liza begged, her eyes filled with a plea for mercy.


    Madisyn’s expression remained stoic.


    “You’re getting what you deserve.


    ”


    With that, she started to tidy up her things.


    Despair washed over Liza’s face.


    She wanted to say more, but the director interrupted, “Liza, it’s time for you to gather your things and leave.


    ”


    “I’m not going anywhere!”


    In her despair, Liza noticed Teresa nearby.


    Of course! How could she forget? Teresa was from the influential Johns family!


    Liza clutched Teresa’s hand tightly.


    “Teresa, you must help me! I only targeted Madisyn because she was picking on you.


    Teresa, you’re a Johns! A single word from you could stop them from firing me!”


    She gazed at Teresa with hopeful eyes.


    ALL eyes shifted to Teresa, curious to see if she would intervene on Liza’s behalf.


    Internally, Teresa was panicking.


    She wasn’t the real Miss Johns, and she had no power to influence Liza’s situation at thepany!


    “Liza, I’ll see what I can do,” Teresa replied, feigning empathy.

    She nned toter im she was unsessful.


    But Liza wasn’t having it.


    “No, Teresa, I need a solidmitment.


    Please, call your brother right now!”


    Teresa’s expression darkened.


    Damn it, how was she supposed to manage that?


    “Liza,” Teresa said sternly, “I’m here to work properly, not to manipte oues for others.


    My brother would be livid if he knew!”


    Liza’s grip loosened as she sank to the floor, a look of utter hopelessness in her eyes.


    “What am I supposed to do now.


    ”


    “Liza, you should head home for now.


    I’ll see if there’s anything I can do,” Teresa said, offering insincere support to defuse the situation.


    With no other alternatives, Liza could only nod, feeling defeated.


    Once Liza had left her alone, Teresa shot Madisyn a frosty look.


    She hadn’t anticipated Madisyn wielding any significant clout.novelbin
