I marched straight into the common office area and shouted, "Mr. Evans is selling the company and wants to fire me but won't pay my salary or provide compensation. He's telling me to sue!
"Listen up, everyone! Is this a human behavior? Think about it, if you ever want to resign in the future, how will he treat you? And, the Brody Group isn't acquiring this company to continue operations..."
One of the main reasons Leonardo wanted to acquire this company was to get back at me.
As for the mess left behind after I left, would Leonardo even care?
Luke was about to grab me by the collar, but I immediately taunted, "Go ahead, hit me. It won't be as simple as just paying my salary!"
However, his phone suddenly rang. When he saw the caller ID, he let go of my hand.
Luke, who had been grumbling just moments ago, suddenly answered the phone with the utmost respect.
I knew that number very well, so well that I could recite it backwards.
After hanging up, Luke wore a bright smile.
Pointing at my nose, he shouted, "Get out now! Mr. Brody's girlfriend has spoken. She can hire a top lawyer just to drag this out with you!"
At that moment, my earlier arrogance turned into sheer absurdity.
I walked out of the company in a dejected manner. As I looked up, I saw Leonardo's car.
"Here comes the loser, don't you want to take a look?" Leonardo's mocking voice came.
As I looked over, I saw Megan sitting in the passenger seat, not even bothering to lift her head.
"Pointless, let's go. To the mall," Megan said to Leonardo.
The roaring car kicked up dust that made me cough.
Thinking back to their demeanor in the living room, I suddenly felt unworthy.
I looked up at the towering building where I had once strived. Now, I found myself in this predicament because of a woman of easy virtue.
Filled with resentment, I thought to myself, "Who give her the right to kick me out with just a whim of dislike?"
The ambitious dreams of the past faded in an instant. When I got back home, I didn't feel like doing anything. I drank when awake and slept when tired.
One morning, a message from Eric woke me up.
Opening WhatsApp, I saw a picture of Megan smiling while kissing.
I quickly called Eric.
"Where did you get this?"
"The news is out. This is a photo from the engagement party of the Fox Group and the Brody Group announced yesterday."
I hung up, wanting to call Megan, but my hands were shaking.
