This whole thing was not whatâs being plastered all over the Internet!
Sheila was super pissed. She used to be the one playing games behind peopleâs backs, but now the tables had turned and sheâs on the receiving end. She felt like she couldnât defend herself.
âMr. Lanos, things ainât like what theyâre saving on the internet! Please, believe me,â she hurriedly explained.
Chase wasnât swayed by her words and said sternly, âMs. Mendoza, the issue here isnât whether I believe you, but whether the public does! If youâre not down for a peaceful termination, we can take this to court. But just a heads up, if you lose, youâll be forking out a hefty compensationâ
Sheila started to panic She knew she couldnât win against the Crescent Society in court. After mulling it over, she had to back down. âAlright, Iâll sign.
And just like that, Sheila signed the termination agreement.
Tracy was just looking on, feeling sorry for her daughter. She just lost a movie role, and now the endorsement from Crescent Society was gone too. She wondered how Sheila would bounce back from this.
Chase tucked the contract away satisfactorily and looked up at Elinor.
Elinor gave him a slight nod, and Chase got the message. He turned to leave.
Unable to vent her anger at the unyielding people, Sheila redirected it at Elinor.
âElinor, Iâm telling you now, youâre fired! Give me back the money you drew in advance!â
Elinor said. âSure.â
Sheila frowned at the amount and said, âThatâs it? You took a considerable sum from me!â
Elinor said, âSis, the workload Iâve done for you far outweighs the normal amount. Itâs only fair I keep half.â
Sheilaâs eyes widened âYou think youâre all that, huh? Elinor, what highâlevel job do you think youâre doing? Youâre just a regular assistant, I could hire three people with this money to work for me at the same time!â
âOh? Really? With your current situation, do you think people would still want to be your assistant?â
âElinor, even if Iâm having a bit of a rough patch, itâs not your place to look down on me!â
Elinor stood up and stretched, saying. âDonât get it twisted, sis. I wasnât looking down on you. Because youâre a nonâentity in my eyes.
Sheila was livid âYou.â
Tracy, being older and wiser, came up to mediate, saying, âSheila, letâs go home and find your dadâ
Ignoring them, Elinor yawned and left the ward.
While waiting for the elevator, she donated the remaining money to a charity.
She could use the money, but she wasnât desperate for it.
She just couldnât let Sheila boss her around for a few days without paying the price.
Hopefully, Sheila will learn her lesson this time and not mess with her again.
The elevator doors opened, and Collin came out, saying âMrs. Blanchet, Mr. Blanchet asked me to pick you up.â
