Chapter 5 - The Termination Order
Sarah stepped past the pool of spilled matcha tea, her heels clicking with sharp, deliberate precision against the polished marble floor. She stood directly in front of Chloe and Julian, looking down at them as if they were nothing more than insects on her shoe.
"Julian," Sarah said, her voice dropping into a chilling, decisive whisper. "You said I needed to handle this quietly and leave. But I prefer handling things publicly."
She turned her gaze onto Chloe Thorne, whose arrogant posture had completely collapsed into trembling terror.
"That watch on your wrist was stolen from my private residence two weeks ago," Sarah stated calmly. "The serial number registered with the jeweler is WM-1988-SAPPHIRE. Would you like security to verify it right now, or will you take it off yourself?"
Chloe gasped, desperately trying to unclasp the watch with shaking fingers. "I... I didn't know! Julian gave it to me for our three-month anniversary! He said it was a corporate bonus!"
The surrounding staff began whispering furiously, pulling out their phones to film the humiliating downfall of the executive assistant who had terrorized junior employees for months.
"You accepted stolen property, misused company travel funds, and committed assault against the Chief Executive Officer on camera," Sarah continued smoothly.
She turned to Chairman Vance and the head of security standing beside the elevator.
"Pack your things, Chloe," Sarah commanded with cold finality. "Both of you are fired. Security, escort Miss Thorne to the legal department for immediate questioning regarding corporate theft and property damage."
