First Love 52

Chapter 52

The atmosphere in the room grew so thick with tension that it was hard to breathe.

Dexter's expression darkened, and he glared at her. "Angela Graham!"

Yesterday, he had held back and even lowered himself to help her, yet Angela was now turning on him. It was

infuriating.

"I'm going to work, Mr. Bamford. Goodbye." Angela quickly left, closing the door behind her.

That was close, but it felt satisfying. She felt like laughing as she thought of Dexter's face turning crimson.

Finally, he'd had his moment.

However, her smile quickly faded.

As Angela entered the design department, Nora approached with a cold expression. You've been fired. I've

already informed HR. You don't meet the company's standards. The compensation will be transferred to your

account shortly."

Angela froze in disbelief. "You? Fired me?" she asked.

Nora was merely the head of division one in the design department. What gave her the authority to dismiss

someone Callum had personally hired?

"You ruined a major project and caused significant financial loss to the company. I've reported the matter to the

executive office, and the managers have unanimously decided that you cannot remain with us," Nora said

sharply.

The entire design department fell silent. Everyone was listening intently, but no one dared to speak.

Everyone knew Callum highly valued Nora. Although she worked in the design department, she played a crucial

role. She frequently used her personal influence and family

connections to secure large projects for the company.

Clara sat at her desk, feeling equally uneasy. Yet, there was nothing she could do.

She vividly recalled last night's events. Angela was the one who had rushed to her rescue. Without her, Nora

would have likely sacrificed her to pacify Dave and the others.

But what could she do now?

Then, she remembered-Angela had been personally hired by Callum. Maybe that could be her lifeline.

Angela's voice broke the silence. “Ms. Rutherford, are your projects secured by

compromising the dignity of female employees? Are they expected to endure harassment to close deals?"

Her gaze, laced with subtle disdain, locked onto Nora.

Nora's face twisted with anger. "What nonsense are you spouting?"

Angela smirked. "Wasn't | drugged and forced to drink last night? Wasn't | almost harassed? If my friend hadn't

stepped in to save me, should I have just swallowed my humiliation?

“After all, the company's profits are clearly more important than an employee's reputation or well-being." Her

voice dripped with anger.

Nora's frustration boiled over. Her face turned pale as she sneered, “Angela, who do you think you are? Do you

think you're sirresistible beauty? Stop babbling as if every man is interested in you!"

The others remained silent, though many quietly agreed that Angela was undeniably attractive.

Angela had no interest in arguing further. She pulled out the outfit she had been forced to wear the previous

night from her tote bag and threw it to the ground.

“Take a good look at this. Is this what someone wears to a professional business meeting?” Angela said, glaring

at Nora..

“Ms. Rutherford, you treatedlike a hostess and acted as though it had nothing to do with you. Where were

you when Mr. Hood was forcingto drink to the point of nearly getting a stomach ulcer? Honestly, | think you

just don't wantin the design department.”
