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?”

“I said your barking is too loud. It hurts my ears. Don’t do it next time.”

Olivia patted Norma on the shoulder and went back to her desk. She took a look at the tand said, “It’s getting late. I’ll be going hnow. Everyone, work hard and cup with more proposals. Good job.”

Olivia knew they didn’t want her to help in the planning anyway. So she didn’t bother to trouble herself.

Her colleagues were all shocked. They had wanted to isolate her. But it seemed like she didn’t care. She even looked happy.

Sophia kicked on a trashcan. She called out to Olivia through gritted teeth, “Olivia Fordham, did I say you could leave?”

Olivia lowered her head to look at her watch and said, “It’s tto go home.”

“Why is everyone still working then?”

“They’re doing overtime.”

“And why aren’t you doing the same?”

Olivia shrugged and said, “Because I don’t want to.”

She patted Sophia on her shoulder and said, “Try your best, Ms. Linden. So that you can deliver a proposal that Mr. Miller is satisfied with by tomorrow.”

Sophia’s face grew red with anger. Her breathing beclabored from the intense emotions.

She had to pat herself on the chest to calm herself.

“Are you okay, Ms. Linden?”

“I’m fine!” Sophia slammed the door and said, “Go to the conference room.”

Olivia hummed happily when she recalled Sophia’s constipated expression.

Even the heavy rain didn’t dampen her mood. She had already asked Everly to pick her up.

Everly should be here any moment.

Olivia raised her head and met Ethan’s eyes. He was sitting in his black luxury car.

It was apparent that he was waiting for her.

Olivia nodded her head toward him as a greeting.

Kelvin turned to look at Ethan and said, “Mrs. Miller doesn’t seem to be getting on, Mr. Miller.”

In the back seat, Ethan’s expression was hard to discern. “Let’s go.”

Olivia sighed in relief when she saw the car driving away. She saw Everly’s car in the distance, so she went to the side of the

road to wait for her.

In a turn of events, Ethan’s car turned around and accelerated right next to her. Olivia was splashed with water from a roadside puddle, and the black car sped away into the distance.

Everly’s car stopped next to her. She tilted her head, looked at Olivia, and said, “Hey, did you go for a shower?”
