I had to admit, this move of his was truly ruthless.
It hit me where it hurt.
After much deliberation, I ultimately accepted these humiliating terms.
Annie then presented the severance agreement for me to sign.
I read it through carefully and signed it.
The person Billy sent to take over my work was Anderson Barker, who had recently joined the company through connections.
The person who pulled those strings was, of course, the mistress Selina.
Apparently, Anderson was a college graduate from some prestigious university, and he was Selina's classmate.
Out of all the new hires in that batch, he was the worst. He was lazy, cunning, and a smooth talker.
When the internship ended, he was the first one I eliminated, but the higher-ups intervened and kept him on. He held a grudge against me ever since.
He often spread rumors in the company, saying that as a woman, the only way I could get so many orders was through dirty tricks.
He almost outright accused me of selling myself to secure deals.
I exported my client list and handed it to him, ready to give him a thorough handover.
Even though I was leaving the company, I still had a responsibility to my previous clients.
It was my professional ethics.
