Chapter 213
As soon as Sophia entered the office, she threw the proposal at Olivia.
“Go and submit your resignation to the HR department now! There’s no place for a person like you in my team.”
Olivia gave her an icy smile and said, “How bossy of you, Ms. Linden. I did not make any mistakes. On what grounds are you firing me?”
Sophia vented all the frustration she suffered from Ethan on Olivia.
Her face was twisted in anger. She no longer wanted to keep up the facade.
“On what grounds? The fact that we don’t need an idiot like you in the workplace.”
“I’m an idiot because I don’t want to take the fall? Even if I did, would Mr. Miller believe it? Or do you think he’s as dumb as you are?”
Sophia slammed her hand on the table and yelled, “Olivia Fordham!”
“That’s me. But if there’s nothing else, I’ll be excusing myself, Ms. Linden. Also, I am a contracted employee.
“If you want to fire me, you should acquire the company first.”
Olivia left the office without looking back. She even went to the pantry, got a glass of warm water, and swallowed some
stomach medicine.
She didn’t care about the gaze of others, nor did she care about their biting remarks.
Everyone understood for a fact that the failure of the proposal had nothing to do with her.”
But her noncompliance had angered Sophia. Even if she stayed, Sophia would make her life hell.
Still, these cunning veterans would never risk offending the team leader for a new employee like Olivia.
They began to isolate her. They wanted to force her to quit.
Even if she didn’t quit today, she would still be fired when the results of the quarterly evaluation were out.
No one felt the need to befriend a person that was soon to be gone. Naturally, they treated her with disdain.
“Damn, I didn’t think you had that in you, Olivia. You acted so prim and proper.
“I thought you were docile. But you dared to stand up to Ms. Linden.”
“She was assigned to our department out of nowhere. She must have someone backing her. Naturally, she’s bolder with her
words.”
Olivia turned slowly to look at Norma. “Ms. Talbot, since you know I have a backer, why are you still barking so loudly? Aren’t you afraid that my backer will hear you?”
Her words caused the entire office to fall silent.
What did she say? Was she here to restructure the workplace?
Norma was in shock. She didn’t expect it to play out like that. Who would flat-out admit that they had a backer?
She recovered from her daze, and her face flushed in anger. “What did you say?”
