Jonah then delivered the second piece of news. “Tiffany, as a consultant from Lumina Company, has been terminated due to repeated violations and misleading clients, despite the lack of severe consequences.”
Tiffany was shocked. She protested, “This isn’t my fault a
Jonah responded, “This decision was made by the highest executive at Aether’s Group.”
The room fell into a heavy silence. Tiffany glared at Layla and pointed at her. “Did you orchestrate this to get back at me “Yes.” Layla finally looked up from hernails. She met Tiffany’s furious gaze with calm indifference. “And so what?” “Hmph, you’re just a kept woman. We’ll see how you’ll continue to act arrogant. I’ll just accept this as an animal bite.” Layla stared at Tiffany. “It’s a pity you’re disap
disappointed. And by the way, wild animals tend to eat filth. It seems you’re getting a clearer view of yourself.” Benson returned Tiffany’s sarcasm. “It’s a real shame for that family to be insulted like animals after leaving.”
With Tiffany’s usual behavior and the current circumstances, very few people were inclined to support her. “You
Tiffany was about to say something, but Jonah cut her off, “Thirdly, I am resigning from Aetheris Group effective today. Honestly, the pressure has been immense during my time here. Now that I’m resigning, I feel relieved.”
Sally asked, “Jonah, where are you going after resigning?”
“To Murray Group.”
The room buzzed with surprise. Why was be moving up to Murray Group instead of stepping down?
Jonah clarified, “I’ll be starting there as a junior employer.
“Regardless, it’s been a pleasure working with all of you. Farewell, and I hope our paths cross again in the future.”
After Jonah left, the office was in a state of disarray for the rest of the afternoon.
Sally was frustrated with her work environment and had considered quitting even before Layla arrived. However, what happened that day made her reconsider the decision to leave. After all, quitting would mean a period of unemployment and the challenge of finding a job with a comparable salary.
she initially suspected that Jonah would be transferred back to the headquarters, where a new manager would be needed. She figured that due to Lila’s connections, Layla would probably be a candidate. Sally, however, never thought she would be chosen instead.
She had also explored the possibility. If Layla were appointed manager, she wouldn’t resign. She would continue working under Layla. However, she never anticipated that this unexpected opportunity would come to her.
Meanwhile, Layla, having skipped lunch, was starving by dinner time. She ate a few bites of pasta but worldday to end

Benson ate while telling Layla secretly, “Layla, I’ve added over thirty people on WhatsApp today, including some clients from other colleagues, Id contact details. The rest are potential buyers for the properties here,”
Layla patted Benson on the shoulder. “Nice work. Now, keep focusing on boosting our sales. Whether I get to enjoy a relaxed life depends on how well we perform together.”
As soon as work ended, Layla drove home.
During the drive, s
she called Stephen and said, “Make sure the kitchen prepares some supper for me. I’m starving.”
Stephen asked, “Didn’t you eat dinner?”
“I skipped lunch and only managed a few bites of dinner, but the food was terrible. Please get the chef to prepare something good quickly. I’m driving, so I’m hangling up now.”
After the call, Stephen immediately instructed the kitchento prepare supper
