An angry and frustrated Lola had become deeply sad as she was now sitting by the bus stop, waiting for the next public transport to show up. She couldn’t get what happened out of her mind. She had slapped the very client she was supposed to coerce into signing that contract deal. She regretted her action, berating herself as she told herself that she could have done better. She wished she had been more patient with the client.She was sure that she would get into trouble once she reported what had happened with the client to her superior. She sighed in further regret. Edmund had been berating her endlessly at the office, constantly telling her coworkers that she was ineffective. With what had now happened, Edmund will use this as proof of her ineffectiveness.“Miss! Miss Lola! Please, hold up!”Lola jerked up at the sound and she turned her head to find the client running toward her. As soon as he stopped, he was wheezing as he caught his breath. It was clear that this man had been ru

As a pseudo-sales director, one of Lola’s jobs is to attend meetings with the other upper-ranked employees at Styleon Group. Though she was still on probation under the guidance and mentorship of Edmund Porsche, she was required to be there to learn the ropes of how these meetings go, including the topics that are discussed.Lola had been excited to attend this meeting, and she had even stayed up the previous night to study all the important aspects of what will be discussed at the meeting. She had even gone through the company’s archive to get a deeper understanding of things. Right now she felt like she was ready to show her new coworkers that she was worthy of the promotion she got.Once the meeting started, Lola paid close attention to what was discussed, taking necessary notes for her to go over later. She never expected to be asked anything as she was still in training, and yet, Edmund had other plans. He intended to embarrass Lola by showing the other coworkers that she wasn’t

Miles couldn’t help but chuckle as he recalled his interaction with Edmund. It was fun to silently watch as Edmund threatened to use the power of the company’s shareholders to trample him. Miles had not hesitated to encourage the sales director. In reality, he knew he was going to inevitably defeat Edmund Porsche in the most humiliating way possible.Currently, Miles had taken a secret route to his office, where he was now changing out of his casual outfit into an expensive suit. This formal wear was purchased at a price of $700,000; something his opponents would be hesitant to purchase willy-nilly.There was a knock on the office door, and with Miles’s permission, Fisher McCall entered the room with a submissive posture that no one else except Miles had seen.“Mr. Creek, the meeting is ready to receive you now.”Miles turned a glance at the manager. “Good. Is everyone there?”Fisher McCall nodded his head sharply while he kept his gaze down. “Everyone notable is currently waiting for

Edmund felt happy. He had been looking for a way to humiliate Lola in front of the new shareholder while also making himself look like a diligent mentor and sales director. He believed that he had struck two birds with one stone.Everyone turned their gaze in time to catch the masked shareholder calling Fisher over before he whispered something in his ear. Fisher stiffened as he nodded.Once the whispering between the two was over, everyone wondered what was going on, especially Lola who was certain that she might be thrown out of the meeting.Fisher spoke. “Mr. Edmund, you have disrupted this meeting without permission. You were trying to teach your underling the importance of etiquette at work, and yet, you have committed the same offense in the process. As of now, the shareholder desires that you leave this meeting right now.”Everyone, including Lola, was left in shock. Edmund was humiliated beyond words. With no choice left, he packed up his stuff and exited the meeting room. The

Miles had a confused expression on his face. “What’s wrong?”“Kelsey’s dress; where did you buy it from?!” Lola’s face held a shocked gaze as he looked at the dazzling dress that her daughter was wearing. She felt the fabric with her hands which left her in greater shock. This cloth had to be expensive.Lola was about to ask her husband how he had afforded the pay, but then she held her curiosity back as she remembered that Miles was a broke man. The only sensible conclusion that she could come up with is that Miles had purchased this at one of those illegal shops that make cheap versions of expensive clothes, except they make it hard to distinguish.Lola sneered as she believed she had figured out the actual situation. “Miles, please, never buy my daughter this knock-off dress again. It’s embarrassing. I know you’re trying to look like a cool father, but it would only end in humiliation when someone finds out that her clothes are fake. Then what will you do when everyone starts makin
