Chapter 234: Chapter 234: The Old Witch Playing Dirty Tricks Behind the Back
If Coco gets fired, is the dismissal of Charlotte Thompson really that far behind?
A malicious smile cracked across Cindy’s face. She wasn’t about to let such an excellent opportunity slip through her fingers, was she?
As the Chief Design Supervisor, she did have the power to dismiss a small, insignificant assistant.
Moreover, anyone in the conference room could testify to Coco’s conduct. Charlotte Thompson had no way to refute this.
"Even if you fire me, you can’t question Sister Charlotte’s capabilities!"
Coco’s delicate face was filled with resilience, her lips pronouncing the words with unyielding firmness.
Possibly out of resentment, she added, "You’re nothing but an old witch who lurks in the background."
Coco had firmly decided to persevere to the end. After all, she was going to be fired anyway, so what was there to hold back?
This situation was undeniably the worst, saying more or less would result in the same outcome.
She absolutely had to vent her anger for Charlotte Thompson.
Never having been so bluntly labeled as an old witch, Cindy’s face twisted with rage.
While Cindy had put in considerable effort into maintaining her appearance, the ravages of time had nonetheless etched lines onto her face.
Without flawless skin like Charlotte’s, Cindy’s contorted face was absurd and laughable, exactly like the old witch Coco described her to be.
The surrounding employees found her description to be exceptionally vivid, the imagery almost palpable.
But with Cindy present, they couldn’t dare laugh out loud. The pent-up mirth was almost causing them internal injuries.
In reality, most people were sycophantic towards Cindy solely because of her position. Few truly respected her.
Compared to these people who were about to burst from suppressing their laughter, Charlotte was a picture of calmness.
Not even sparing her a glance, let alone meeting her fiery eyes.
Charlotte knew Coco was distressed for her, but she couldn’t let her put herself in a disadvantage. She reached out to pull her back.
"It’s okay, don’t be impulsive. I’ll handle this," Charlotte consoled her softly.
The image of a gentle, nurturing older sister deeply ingrained in Coco’s heart, made her feel even more aggrieved for Charlotte.
Tears started streaming uncontrollably out of her eyes, shed for Charlotte’s unfair treatment.
Little Coco, who appeared soft and weak, had a stubborn temperament. She would resolutely defend her beliefs, not permitting others to interfere.
Her spirit was indomitable, keeping silent under punishment, but the slightest hint of injustice could move her to tears.
She considered herself lucky to have such a good superior like Charlotte, who was akin to a considerate older sister rather than a temperamental figure like Cindy.
Charlotte gently wiped away the tear stains from her face, patting her on the back to sooth her.
Charlotte understood Coco’s feelings better than anyone. When she was new to the workforce, she faced her own share of unfair treatment.
Her empathy served to reinforce Charlotte’s resolution. She refused to let Coco agonize by herself, and she wouldn’t let Coco leave her side.
Just as this tender moment unfolded, Cindy was already dialing the HR manager.
Her trembling fingers furiously typed away on the screen. Message sent.
The clueless HR manager scratched his head as he issued the dismissal notice to Coco.
The company departmental procedures were streamlined, and Cindy’s authority was superior. The HR manager rarely questioned her decisions.
"That’s enough sisterly bonding for now. Wait for your dismissal notice. Go pack up your stuff and leave while it’s not too late," Cindy sneered, extremely pleased with herself.
The resentment that built up for so long was finally released, making her whole demeanour seemingly shine.
