“I think there must have been a mistake somewhere. Actually, Miss Ann asked me to…”
“Oh, shut up and accept how incompetent you are!”
I'll be very sincere. While it may seem plausible that this happens, an employer isn't a slave or a servant, so shouting at an employee and asking them to shut up is rude and unprofessional. It also doesn't allow the employee to provide information that may be crucial to solving the problem at hand.
Also, as an employee, shutting up in that situation isn't going to help matters, especially since the person deliberately responsible for the mishap is right there in the room, receiving the praise and demeaning you in the process, putting your job at stake. Speaking up for oneself at that point isn't bad. The worse that could happen is one gets fired. Well, she kept quiet and still got fired anyway.
I've got all the evidence I need from your new assistant, who happens to be my spy, by the way. And also remember Gemma, your former assistant? She also reached out to me.
This part of the story. I get that the truth eventually came out, which makes a lot of sense, based on the CEO's instinct. But what about Gemma? After that kind of treatment, not being allowed to speak, being fired on the spot, and caused emotional distress, why would she want to reach out to a person that treated her that way, unless there's something else not being mentioned, which the story probably skipped due to time and/or trying to stay within the word limit so it wouldn't be too long? If at all she'll be reaching out, I think it would be via a lawsuit for unlawful termination, abuse, and emotional distress.
Altogether, I enjoyed the story. Anna was deliberately sabotaging the company. And it was obvious from the beginning. I just feel like some sort of twist and closure for Gemma would have made things more interesting.
... and I've also made sure that no agency in this state will be stupid enough to hire a two-timing beauty like you.
Really? Is he that powerful? I don't think anyone has that power. She could serve a jail term or pay a fine for damages caused, or both. But claiming to have made sure she becomes unemployable in the state is definitely a bluff.
“I'm sorry, ma'am, but cash or a bank transfer?” The waiter asked, appearing at her side again.
Well, she can handle the bill. It isn't a problem, considering her status. You can't sell a company's data to a rival company for peanuts. So, she'll be okay.
I enjoyed the story. I guess I can just be too critical sometimes. Or maybe I'm bored and don't even know it, so this is my way of passing time.
