HEARING THOSE words, Ava wasn’t able to speak. She was astounded that the woman with Damian wasn’t only beautiful and looked like a queen. She is Anya Montgomery, the heiress of the Montgomery Corporation—The one who always disposes of her rarely used bags to online garages for donation and charity.And she hated how Anya looked at her with pity.“H-How…” Ava’s words trailed off as she had a hard time internalizing her thoughts.“How am I able to recognize your bag? Of course, before I disposed of it, it was mine.” Anya held the bag and lifted it so both of them could see the bottom. “See this? It even has initials on it.”Anya smiled, seeing the letters “A.Y.M” engraved on the bag’s skin. On the other hand, Ava was completely speechless. She held onto the hem of her dress like her entire sanity was dependent on it.“How dare you humiliate me like this?” Ava uttered, piercing a deadly gaze toward Anya.“Humiliate me? No. You brought that upon yourself,” answered Anya in a sarcastic t

IN JUST an instant, Oliver was kicked out of the company. With the help of Kevin, Damian immediately processed Oliver’s resignation. The higher-ups became also aware of how Oliver created favoritism in the Business Development Department and bullied some of the employees.There is a high employee turnover in that specific department because of Oliver, too. The higher-ups didn’t notice it at first because Oliver was always giving exceptional work and progress, which stood out more than his bad character.“This is shit,” Oliver complained while placing all his things on the big box on his table. “All the things I’ve worked hard for years are now gone because of Damian. All of this is his fault.”Every employee in the business development department was looking at him, and he couldn’t help but wish that the floor would split in half and eat him alive. This is the first time he felt deeply humiliated. Either way, he was the one humiliating and degrading other people.He can’t accept it. H

DAYS LATER, the employees of the operations department were still in panic, hoping they could find some way to retrieve even a draft of the schedule. Still, they found none, and they were already close to the day Freya told them when the schedule with the clients would start.“The start of the schedule is approaching, and we don't have any leads yet.” Rachel sighed in frustration, staring at the tons of documents in front of her. “I hate to say this, but it is hopeless now. More than two weeks had passed, too. Should we just be honest with the higher-ups?”“Ma’am Kierra isn’t here yet, so we need to wait first before we decide,” Violy told her. Like Rachel, her voice was low, too. “It’s a good thing we were able to solve the problem regarding the potential connections and venue selection somehow, but this is different. It’s not like we can find other clients to schedule with.”“Or if we can, once they found out that we didn’t attend with the clients listed on the previous schedule,

THREE DAYS later, everything went back to normal at the Operation Department. No more overtime, recurring meetings, and no more anxiety that important documents would go missing again. Aside from the cloud software, the IT department also managed to create three more backups just to make sure the files were secured.The higher-ups were able to know about what happened, just in time after the Operations Department team solved all the problems. Instead of receiving a sanction because they hid the problem, all of them received an incentive and a salary raise.“This is your reward because all your hard work and plans were successfully executed, and it gave good feedback to the company’s overall performance, too,” said Francine, one of the executives. “However, if something like this happens again, be responsible and accountable enough to inform everyone about this. It’s not like every plan you make will be successful, isn’t it?”“Yes, Ma’am Francine,” Kierra answered and bowed. The other

VERON LOOKED at Damian afterward, his eyes filled with joy. “You never failed to amaze me since you became an intern at one of our subsidiaries, and I know you have your reasons for doing this, too.” “There is,” Damian answered honestly. “One of the employees at our subsidiary was missing for days.” “And you think she might be at that abandoned building?” Veron asked, raising a brow. “Freya could be a former employee of the Mid-Century, but she was a spy. For sure that the Hellion family would dispose of her.” Damian blinked twice, astounded because Veron knew about Freya's existence. “H-How did you know about it?” “Although I'm in the Ferremento Corporation most of the time, I have people who report to me from time to time about what was happening to the subsidiaries, especially the main ones, and especially news about you,” answered Veron in an authoritative tone. “So...You know what happened to the company weeks ago?” Veron nodded. “I also know how you solved the situation, im
