Shermaine Ford betrayed her.
Dorothy Assex was infuriated. After all, she guided Shermaine to where she was today. From giving her
an opportunity right after high school to entrust her with managerial roles and repay her loans, she was
an immense help throughout it all.
At the end of the day, Shermaine chose to side with Emma Assex and played a nasty trick on Dorothy,
embarrassing herself in an important meeting.
A true traitor.
Emma, who was Andersonâs daughter and the rumored person to replace Dorothy as the new general
manager, looked at Dorothy with a smirk on her face. âLady Assex, I believe your secretary gave you
the right information. I think you overslept. Alas, that abandoned son of Rockefeller brought us a
massive contract in exchange for a favor, but you had to mess it up. I know you were upset and chose
to make up for it in the bedroom. However, please do not get caught up in your own desire. You have a
company to run.â
Dorothyâs expression was as frosty as the winds of winter. âEmma Assex, quit with your nonsense! You
are not a member of the board of directors nor this company. Please leave.â
Wham!
Anderson slammed the table with his palm and pointed his finger at Dorothy. He roared, âYou are the
one leaving this room. From now onwards, you are not the general manager anymore. Emma will be
taking your place.â
Emma stood up and nodded at the crowd in the conference room. With a smile on her face, she said, âI
am Emma Assex. It is my pleasure to be of service to the company.â
She then looked at Dorothy mockingly.
Anderson clapped, followed by the directors.
The companyâs upper management looked at each other in much confusion but started clapping after
initiating applause.
Dorothy grimaced. âUncle, I am the general manager here. It is not something you can decide on.â
âI knew you would say that. This is the document initiating the leadership change from the
headquarters. The board of directors signed off on it. Read it with your own eyes,â said Anderson.
He hurled a clipboard into Dorothyâs way.
A paper was attached to it and it was the document from the headquarters.
Dorothyâs heart was shredded to pieces as she read it. Sadness, anger, and disappointment were
insufficient to describe how she felt at the moment. She put in tremendous effort, building the company
with her very own blood, sweat, and tears from the ground up.
And what did she get at the end? Nothing.
She clenched her teeth as she endured the mocking stares from the crowd.
Anderson snorted and looked at his daughter with a smile. âI hereby announce Emma Assex as the
new general manager of Assex Constructionsâ branch here in City South. Please give her a round of
applause and welcome her to the team!â
Everyone stood up and applauded while congratulating Emma.
Only Dorothy stood motionless in the shadows.
Emma sneered at Dorothy before clapping her hands together and said, âPlease have a seat. Thank
you. I want to announce a decision made by the company. Starting from this month, all employeesâ
wages will be increased by thirty percent, an appreciation for all the hard work and effort put in for the
company.â
Most of the time, spending sufficient money to please people was a tried and trusted method, and this
time, it was no exception.
The employees roared and cheered happily.
She continued, âAlso, I hereby announce Shermaine Ford as the first secretary to the GM. Your
compensation will be adjusted accordingly. From now onwards, you are my private secretary.â
âThank you so much, Lady Assex! I will do my best!â Shermaine smiled.
Dorothy threw a filthy glance at Shermaine and snorted.
The biggest impostor of the year had to be her!
Emma stole a glance at Dorothy and said, âThe thirty percent wage increase does not apply to Dorothy
Assex as it is only for the upper management. You are transferred to the customer service department
with a starting wage of three thousand dollars. We hope you will do your best for the company. Now,
please leave, as you are not allowed in here.â
âCut the act, I quit!â Dorothy snapped coldly.
