Amy made it to make a scene and the partiality of people gathering around was pretty clear.
Anyone would take Serena as a devious woman who got in the middle of a couple.
And Avery became an ingrate, failing to remain faithful to the woman who had helped him build his business from scratch.
Many people stood out to plead for Amy. They thought Avery and Serena were making a fuss.
'Amy has always been very assiduous in work."
"She's made so many contributions to the company. You can't simply fire her."
"She lost the bet but it can't change the fact that she's a very capable leader."
Avery was almost drowned in their clamours.
"Enough," Serena started with impatience.
The room fell silent and a multitude of eyes turned in her direction.
Serena walked toward the drama queen on the floor. "I've underestimated you. Are you satisfied now that everyone is pitted against me?" "Serena, I know you hate me but I'm not a threat to you in any way. I just want to keep my job."
"This company is like my child. How can you be as cruel as to deprive me of it?" Amy said in a pitiful voice, tears streaming down her face.
Even some sentimental girls in the crowd had their eyes become watery.
"I always know you have business acumen, but I didn't know you also have a gift for acting until today," Serena said severely.
"Serena, you're well-born so you could acquire a company effortlessly."
"But I'm from a normal family and I put a lot of effort into getting what I have today."
"Please give me a chance to work here."
Serena sneered, seeing through her at once.
Amy was making a scene to make sure rumors spread that Avery abandoned someone who built the company with him for a woman.
It would raise hostility toward Avery while sympathy to her.
So finding the next job would be much easier.
Her story would also serve as a warning to forestall prospective partners.
It would cause turmoil in the company as well.
She was a manipulative woman, which was how she'd climbed to where she was today.
