“What did you say?” Wilbur’s expression turned cold. How dare this person be so rude after running into him?

The man scoffed coldly, “Which department are you from, and what’s your name?”

“Likewise, which department are you from, and what’s your name?” Wilbur responded coldly.

The man said proudly, “I’m Cape Consortium’s vice president, Stanley Lowes. Do you work here?”

“You could say that,” Wilbur responded calmly.

Stanley sneered. “You’re fired. Get out right now.”

Wilbur smiled in annoyance and disbelief. “You’re firing someone just like that?”

“What are you going to do about it? I can fire you if I want to.” Stanley’s expression was nothing but condescending.

Wilbur said slowly, “Oh my, a man of power.”

“The main overseas branch sent me, the vice president of the Kardon Province branch, to supervise things around here. Even Miss Faye Yves here works under me, let alone someone like you.” Stanley stared down at Wilbur.

Wilbur frowned. Just then, Faye opened the door and saw Stanley. “What’s going on here?”

“Miss Yves, this guy just ran into me and didn’t even apologize! I’m going to fire him. He’s too rude and unprofessional to work here,” Stanley announced confidently.

Faye walked up and gave Stanley a slap across his face.

The crisp sound rang through the air, leaving Stanley in a daze.

“What the hell are you doing, Miss Yves?” Stanley roared.

Faye sneered coldly, “You’re fired. Get lost.”

“What?” Stanley stared at Faye in disbelief, pausing briefly before returning to his senses. “You have no right to fire me. I was sent from the headquarters.”
