Alexâs eyes suddenly emitted a murderous glare. He pulled Dorothy behind him, shielding her from the
men.
âBe careful!â Dorothy was nervous and worried. She had no idea that Alex was no longer as weak as
before. These security guards were nowhere nearly as powerful as he was.
In just a bat of an eye, the guards were kicked in the guts. They fell to the ground harshly and werenât
able to get back up at all.
âAll three of you are fired!â Alex said as he walked into the company with Dorothy in hand.
Many of the employees who were sitting near the windows witnessed this incident. They were shocked
and their mouths were agape. News quickly spread throughout the whole company:
âOh my god look! Ms. Assex is back! She even brought a guy along with her and he just beat up the
security guards!â
âWait, which Assex?â
âThese are the photos, itâs our previous general manager, Dorothy Assex.â
âWhat? Did she bring someone along to get her position back? I would too, to be honest.â
âWhy would you even dare to say that?â
Shermaine had heard the news from around the company as well. She rushed to the window to see it
for herself. However, Dorothy and Alex had already entered the building. Something didnât sit right with
her and her heart started pounding nervously.
She remembered that Emma had not come to work since yesterday evening. She hadnât received any
calls from Emma as well. She was feeling extremely uneasy.
She was especially worried since she had a large loan to repay and she needed to support her entire
family as well.
Cold sweat trickled down Shermaineâs forehead.
She called Emma repeatedly. However, minutes passed and Emma still hadnât answered any of her
calls.
Beep, beep, beepâ¦
âPick up, oh god, please pick upâ¦â Shermaine murmured.
Just then, Dorothy arrived at the secretaryâs office with a chilling expression. âAre you trying to call
Emma?â
âAhâ¦â Shermaine was frightened. Her mouth opened wide in shock.
âThereâs no use doing that. Even if she did pick up, she wouldnât come to save you.â
âPack your things and get your remaining salary from the finance department,â Dorothy said coldly. She
was disappointed in Shermaine. After all, she had worked with this woman for years.
Shermaine, however, tried to cling on to her last fragment of hope. âWhy should I? Youâre no longer the
general manager of this company. You donât have the power to fire me.â
Shermaineâs loud protests had attracted quite a few employees. Even the vice president of the
company and a few managers came rushing over.
Frankly, everyone still wanted to work with Dorothy. Many employees have been working with Dorothy
since the company started. The trust they had in her was impeccable. However, this was just a mere
branch in City South. They had to obey the Assex familyâs every order.
Someone spoke up, asking Dorothy to stop causing a scene. They just didnât want Dorothy to make
things worse for herself.
Alex decided to stay silent this whole while. He stood aside and got himself a cup of tea.
âI donât have the power to?â Dorothy scoffed, staring down at Shermaine. âWell, you are right about one
thing. Iâm in fact, no longer the general manager of the company. Thatâs because Iâm the CEO of this
company from now on. This is the contract for the transfer of shares. Are you convinced now,
Shermaine Ford?â
Everyone stared in disbelief when Dorothy pulled out the contract.
It was unbelievable that Emma had been kicked out, after just securing her position as president.
Oh, how the tables have turned. Dorothy had full control over the company and none of the Assexes
could interfere with the companyâs decisions anymore.
Everyone cheered and clapped as they welcomed Dorothy back to the company.
When Shermaine realized that Dorothy was telling the truth, her heart dropped. Knowing that she
would be fired, she dropped to her knees and clung to Dorothyâs legs. âMs. Assex, please spare me! I
was wrong. I shouldnât have been so greedy; I was blinded by money. Please beat me up instead.
Donât fire me! I have loans to pay for both an apartment and a car. I have to support my family too! I
canât lose this job!
âMs. Assex, I swear Iâll be good, Iâll be your loyal lapdog!â
Dorothy took a step back and kicked her away. âI will not let the same dog bite me a second time. Pack
your things and get out!â
