Chapter 2

I laughed coldly, looking at Tiffany: "Are you sure?"

"If the boss comes back and finds out you fired me, he might get angry."

I kindly reminded her.

After all, headhunters had been trying to poach me with high offers for years, but out of loyalty to the boss, I had always stayed.

My leaving wouldn't affect me at all, but Tiffany might not be so lucky.

Tiffany glared at me, her face twisted with arrogance and tyranny.

"Who do you think you are? You're just a salesperson. I'm my boyfriend's future wife, the mistress of this company. Do you think he'd choose you over me?"

Hearing her say this, I shook my head.

If that's how it is, so be it.

I turned and left the office. Outside, my colleagues had heard our argument but didn't know what happened. They kept looking at me.

"Boss, what's going on?"

I started packing my things efficiently, smiling: "What's going on? I got fired, that's what."

My colleague's eyes widened, looking at me in disbelief: "Fire you? Has Tiffany gone crazy? Everyone knows you're the boss's golden goose. Isn't she afraid the boss will break up with her?"

I shook my head and chuckled: "Well, that's not my problem anymore. After all, it's her decision, she'll have to bear the consequences."

"Besides, I've been working for so many years, it might be nice to take a good rest."

I had long ago saved enough money to be financially independent, but I had never taken a break and felt too embarrassed to ask.

This was a perfect opportunity.

My colleague was furious: "But why did she fire you? Did you offend her somehow, boss?"

I frowned, thinking carefully: "I guess it's because last time when she spread rumors about Zoe, I stood up for Zoe, remember?"

"Since then, she's been picking on me, always finding fault one way or another."

Yesterday, Tiffany uploaded a photo of herself to the company WhatsApp group, and everyone was flooding the comments with compliments.

I was the only one who read it without replying.

I guess that was the final straw.

"Should I call the boss now? You're the backbone of the company, you can't just leave like this."

I shook my head, smiling lightly: "Forget it. If I ever come back, it'll be after Tiffany and the boss break up. I really can't stand her behavior anymore. We'll see in the future."

I finished packing my things and headed to the finance department to collect my salary for the month.

I had only worked for ten days this month, but my salary and commission amounted to $100,000.

I informed the finance staff about my termination and asked her to transfer the salary to my account later.

Unexpectedly, Tiffany suddenly appeared at the company entrance, glaring at me: "Jack Wilson, didn't I tell you to get lost? What are you doing here?"

I looked at her calmly. She was gloating, thinking she had found a good boyfriend, looking particularly disgusting.

Seeing that I didn't respond to her, Tiffany became agitated. She came forward and grabbed my clothes: "Are you deaf? What are you doing in the finance department? These are all important company documents. Get out now, or I'll call the police!"

I frowned and forcefully shook off Tiffany's hand.

"Let go!"

"Now that I've been fired, is there a problem with me collecting my salary for this month? I'm already being nice by not asking for severance pay."

Tiffany glared at the young girl in front of me: "How much is his salary?"

The finance girl answered honestly: "One hundred thousand and five hundred dollars."

Tiffany's face immediately changed: "How much?"

After the finance girl repeated it, she pointed at me and said: "You violated company rules by being late, so your salary for this month is forfeited."

I laughed coldly: "A $200 deduction for each tardiness, is that how you calculate? Did you even graduate elementary school?"

To my surprise, Tiffany looked at me righteously: "It's a new rule I made. Three tardies and your whole month's salary is gone. Now get out!"
