"Ms. Ward, this is all Theresa Graham's fault. We need to deal with her together. If you lose me, you lose a helper. You can plead for me—give me any punishment you want, but please don't fire me. If I lose this job, I'm finished! Besides, I have even bigger dirt on Theresa. Don't you want to know what it is?"
Rachel Ward started to consider it.
"Let me think about it."
"Ms. Ward, please. I've always been loyal to you. If I get fired, it's your loss too!"
Rachel knew perfectly well that Charles was warning her.
If he left, her life might become difficult as well.
But that wasn't the most important thing; what mattered was that she cared about the leverage Charles held.

When work ended that afternoon, Theresa was thrilled. That snake Charles was finally leaving.
"What makes you so happy?" Logan asked as he approached. He had come to pick Theresa up.
"Let me tell you some good news!"
Just as Theresa was speaking, she happened to see Charles coming out as well.
Charles had originally thought Theresa would be easy to handle—just a workplace rookie.
He didn't expect an old veteran like himself to lose at her hands. He was furious.
Especially when he thought about Theresa being kept by some wealthy old man, he felt even more cynical.
"Logan, let me tell you, be careful with this woman beside you. She's playing you for a fool and you don't even know it!" Charles said deliberately.
He only now realized Theresa's level was high; she was stringing Logan along on one side while being kept by an old man on the other.
Speaking, she dialed Elena's number.
"Elena, did you know? I did what you said, and it really worked. That jerk Charles actually came to steal my things, haha! It was hilarious! You have no idea how ugly his face looked when I exposed him in front of everyone..."
"Congratulations. Consider it a lesson. In the future, remember to have a backup plan when you do things, especially when you know there are enemies around," Elena advised.
"Okay, I got it. I'll treat you to dinner sometime! Love ya!"
The two ended the call. Elena looked at the fabric in her hands.
The company was currently preparing for Valentine's Day, and naturally, Elena had been relegated to grunt work, helping cut fabric and procure items the designers needed.
At that moment, Tyler called.
"Boss, Boss, I love you! I haven't seen you in so long!" Tyler's excited voice came through.
