The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride

The next day, Janet went to work. Her stomach churned with unease the entire time. She knew that Ike wouldn’t spare her for what happened last night.

As soon as she arrived at her desk and sat down, Ike stormed out of his office and threw a stack of documents on her table. “You are fired! Pack your things and get out of here now!”

Janet picked up the documents and looked at them — they were all design drafts she had previously submitted. “May I know why you’re firing me, Mr. Lyman?” she asked calmly.

There was still a Band-Aid on the bridge of his nose to cover the injury he had suffered last night. His eyes were blazing with rage. Janet’s words reminded him of the way he was humiliated last night. “You’re incompetent for your current position!” he spat venomously. “Pack your things and get out of the Larson Group. You’re just a graduate. I’ll make sure you don’t flourish in the fashion field, ever. As long as I’m in the industry, you won’t be able to get a job, let alone succeed in your career.”

“You already approved my designs. Why do you say I’m incompetent now?” Janet retorted, clutching her design documents. Her sharp gaze met his, and she didn’t seem afraid in the slightest.

Ike’s screams drew the attention of other employees.
