"In my previous life, I had given up the chance to go abroad because of them, only to meet a tragic end in the mountains.
After my rebirth, I bought my ticket and packed my bags as quickly as I could. Was I still unable to escape?" I thought.
Henry dialed the number as I watched in terror.
Mr. Carter's voice sounded tired, but his tone was respectful.
When he heard Henry coldly order him to cancel my opportunity to go abroad and to fire me immediately, his voice rose in shock.
"What? Mr. Whitman, may I ask why?"
Henry's patience was running thin, and he snapped. "Do I need to explain myself? Do as I say, or your company won't open tomorrow!
"This woman, who sells herself for status, isn't someone you need either. If she hadn't seduced me, I wouldn't have been stupid enough to recommend her to you."
I struggled to speak, but a cloth was suddenly stuffed into my mouth, silencing me.
In the business world, Henry's word was law.
Hearing his command, Mr. Carter backed down, muttering a quick agreement before hanging up.
I felt a surge of helpless anger, my eyes turning red.
