All she was thinking was that Avery was never gonna forgive her.
But one part of her struggled to give in.
"I've no idea what you're saying," she insisted.
Avery gave her a long look and then fished his phone out of the pocket.
He called Nisse, who was in a foul mood because his company had been acquired.
He pressed the green button and connected the line.
"What? I've told you everything I know!" He demanded testily.
"Say what Amy has done again," Avery requested tersely.
He had an edge to his voice so Nisse suppressed his anger and repeated what he'd said to Avery.
He was put on speaker so his words were clearly heard by everyone at present.
They were all numb with shock. Amy's image as a hard- working and responsible leader was reversed.
It was only an illusion.
"Amy, what else do you have to say?"
"It's slander. I've never done any of these things." Amy was struggling.
"All the companies that have been acquired could testify his words. Would you like me to call them?" Serena asked.
Amy was rendered speechless.
"I didn't mean to make you notorious but you have it coming," Serena said dryly.
"Amy, I officially inform you that you're fired. You have half an hour to grab your things and get lost," Avery said with no trace of warmth in his voice.
The revulsion on his face turned into tiredness. He was done with this farce.
"Avery, please, let me stay. I beg you," Amy pleaded.
"It's too late," Avery said flatly, averting his eyes as if the single sight of her made him sick.
He grabbed Serena's hand and whisked her off.
Amy broke down.
"No!!!" She roared angrily from behind.
"Get around what Amy did," Avery instructed as soon as he entered his office.
"Yes, President," his secretary answered subserviently.
Once the word spread, there would be no room for Amy in this industry.
No one would hire a betrayer.
Even if her capability was valued, no one wanted Avery as a foe.
Amy's life after being fired was dismal.
