Chapter 99

Selena was basking in the glory of Anastasia’s departure, pouring hersell a glass of red to celebrate

The office door was pushed open just as she took her first sip

Seeing Victor stride in with a serious expression, she asked with a puzzled smile, “What’s up, Victor?

You look pretty rushed.”

“Did you fire Anastasia?” questioned Victor

“Sure did” Selena admitted, swirling her wine glass leisurely “She quit on her own. She wasn’t a good

fit here. She pissed off Blake, I emailed you about it ages ago, didn’t you get it?!

“So what if she pissed off Blake? Victor crossed his arms, standing his ground. Even if she screwed up

big time, there’s always someone to fix it. That’s not your problem. You fired her. Are you expecting us

to cover for your mistake? How long has she been gone? Call her right now and get her back here.”

Selena was taken aback as she said. “Victor, I’ve never seen you this ticked off. Its just a new assistant

I fired. How bad could it be? She’s already gone. I’m not gonna call her back”

It was the first time Selena saw Victor lose his cool, and it was quite a sight to see him get all rough

around the edges.

Usually, Victor was the picture of elegance, always warm and friendly towards his subordinates

They even had a sort of friendship beyond work. Victor always had a smile for her, never anything but

polite.

Looking defeated. Victor paced around with hands on his hips, trying to keep his chill.

He pointed at Selena and said, “Fine miss high and mighty Selena, I’m telling you for the last time, stop

messing with Anastasia. If you want to keep your job, get her back here. I’m saying this for your own

good, not as your boss, but as a friend”

Selena froze, laughing sarcastically, “Victor, Fm the head jewelry designer at Elysian Technologies Do

you think they fire me over a newbie? She managed to piss off the Ledford family Even Everlee called

me, insisting on firing Anastasia If you want me to bring her back, then tell me, who is she?” Victor

couldn’t spill the beans about Herman backing Anastasia, so he just said, if you trust me, do as I say

I’ve said my plece, and it’s up to you. Just remember, if Anastasia gets mad, it won’t just be you losing

your job; even I might get transferred.”

This made Selena’s heart skip a beat. Victor had been working at the headquarters for over a decade.

He was a veteran, highly valued by the top brass. Who could possibly shake his position?

Victor stopped at the door, adding, “You’re the one who fired her. You have to be the one to get her

back. Remember my words; neither the Lunsford family nor the Ledford family should concern you.

Elysian Technologies doesn’t need outsiders meddling”

Victor left the office, immediately reporting the situation to Herman.

Anastasia had not been working at the company for long before she was fired, and since he was the

branch manager, he might also be held accountable. Victor must have figured out what had happened

last night at the Eclipse Lounge. Blake had the nerve to mess with Herman’s woman, he was practically

begging for trouble

Anastasia hadn’t done anything wrong in this situation. Even if other employees were bullied by those

rich kids, Elysian Technologies should stand by their own, not fire them without understanding the full

story, just to appease those bullies

Even though they were a branch of Elysian Technologies, they should still have their own dignity and

couldn’t bring shame to the headquarters.

Back at Elysian Technologies headquarters

Herman had just finished a morning meeting and returned to his office when he heard the news of

Anastasias dismissal.

His face darkened, and he only said one sentence over the phone, “Whoever let Anastasia go, get her

back.”

After saying this, Herman hung up the phone and threw it onto the table.

“What happened that made you so angry? Your girlfriend not satisfying you?”

A mocking voice came from outside the office
