Her arrogant attitude made Hadley furious. "Shehnaaz, please correct your attitude. See who you are talking to!" she shouted.

Shehnaaz glanced at her and curled her lips. saying. "That's my attitude. If you don't respect me, why should I respect you?"

"Great! Shehnaaz!"

Hadley laughed. She turned around and walked behind the desk. She grabbed the phone on the desk and pressed the buttons.

"Have the HR manager come up." She ordered the person on the other side of the phone.

Then, she hung up the phone forcefully.

"Shehnaaz, now that the president is on a
business trip, no one can protect you."

Hadley's voice was filled with obvious pride.

"Well," Shehnaaz raised her eyebrows and remained calm, saying, "Let's see what you got."

Hadley snorted coldly. "Okay."

Rojin and the others looked at Shehnaaz gloatingly. As long as they thought that she was going to be fired, they felt that their pain was paying off.

"Shehnaaz, what should we do?" Josie was really afraid that she would be fired.

"Don't worry, she can't fire us." Shehnaaz raised her hand and patted her shoulder.

Josie frowned. Although Shehnaaz looked confident, she was still very worried.

Not long after, the HR manager arrived.

As soon as he walked in and saw the row of people standing, the HR manager was shocked. Then, he hurried towards Hadley and said, "Ms. Squires, you are...?"

He pointed at the row of people and looked at Hadley confusedly.

"Exhorting." His curiosity was stopped by the neat words.

The HR manager respectfully asked, "Ms. Squires, did you call me here for any instructions?"

"How many years has Shehnaaz been in the company?" Hadley asked.

Hearing Shehnaaz's question, the HR manager was stunned for a moment, and answered truthfully, "Two years and three months."

Hadley nodded, "Then go back and calculate her salary. She won't be coming to work tomorrow."

"What?" The HR manager was stunned.

"I said Shehnaaz is fired!" Hadley repeated impatiently.

"But...." The HR manager rubbed his hands in embarrassment.

Looking at his hesitant expression, Hadley was enraged, saying, "What are you dawdling for? Hurry up and do it."

Facing her anger, the HR manager could only explain, "Other than Mr. Duran, no one else has the right to fire Shehnaaz."

"What?" Hadley did not expect this.

"Who said that?" Hadley asked.

"It's a supplement to Shehnaaz's contract. It was introduced by Mr. Duran." Under Hadley's fierce gazes, the voice of the HR manager became softer and softer.

It was clearly the fault of the new president, but why did it feel like it was his fault?

The HR manager was rather aggrieved.

Hadley gritted her teeth in hatred. Jaxson!

If he hadn't suddenly appeared last time, she would have kicked Shehnaaz out of TEG. Now with such a regulation, he was deliberately trying to make things difficult for her!

The HR manager carefully looked at her gloomy expression. He was afraid that he would get involved in this mess.

Rojin and the others, who had also heard the HR manager's words, were instantly stunned. They looked at each other in disbelief. What had been determined now became nothing.

But Shehnaaz and Josie were in a particularly happy mood.

"I really didn't expect that Jaxson would also plan ahead."

Josie was quite impressed by Jaxson's plan.

Shehnaaz glanced at her and said, "Of course! After all, he is my cousin."

Looking at her pride, Josie laughed out loud, "Yes, yes, it's your good cousin." Shehnaaz raised her eyebrows and smiled even more brilliantly.

Actually, Sidharth had already told her about it. this, so that was why she dared to retort Hadley so confidently.

This time, Hadley must be furious.

"You can go back to work," Hadley held back her anger and whispered to the HR manager.

He let out a sign of relief, then turned around and left without hesitation.

After all, he had always wanted to leave.

Hadley raised her head to look at Shehnaaz. Shehnaaz also looked at her without showing any weakness, and her expression was very complacent.

She clenched her fists and slowly walked to Shehnaaz.

"Shehnaaz, don't be complacent too early. One day, I will drive you out of TEG," she glared at her and said in a cold tone.

Shehnaaz gently smiled, saying, "Well, okay."

This time, Hadley was completely defeated, but her hatred for Shehnaaz was rising.

Shehnaaz and Josie didn't even have time to eat lunch because of such a big drama during their lunch break.

Then they just had a glass of cereal and a biscuit for lunch.

"I can't stand this life anymore!" Josie bit the biscuit while saying, with her face full of helplessness.

"What's wrong?" Shehnaaz didn't understand why she sighed like this.

Josie sighed and stretched her arm out on the table. "Let's find a fortune teller and see if we're too unlucky this year,"

Hearing this, Shehnaaz chuckled and said, "I didn't expect that you would believe this."

"I don't believe it, but I'm so unlucky that I have no choice but to believe it."

Shehnaaz was betrayed by her fiancé and was framed. As for her, she was also betrayed by a scum and her parents were framed and imprisoned for corruption.

Thinking of this, Josie smiled. self-deprecatingly, saying, "Shehnaaz, we were fellow sufferers."

Shehnaaz smiled and said, "Yeah, fellow sufferers."

"No!" Josie sat up straight and said, "You were luckier than me. You met Mr. Sidharth, but I have nothing."

As she said this, a man's figure barged into her mind. She quickly shook her head and chased him away.

Afterwards, she secretly let out a sigh of relief. It was truly frightening. Why would she think of him?

Her inexplicable actions made Shehnaaz feel funny, "Josie, what's the matter?"

Josie shook her head, saying, "I'm fine."

Shehnaaz stared at her. Her intuition told her that Josie had something to hide from her and Vera, but Josie didn't want to tell them.

Josie, who felt a little guilty under her gaze, hurriedly continued to say, "I really envy you for having Mr. Sidharth by your side."

Her tone was filled with envy.

Shehnaaz smiled, with her eyes shining with light. She said, "One day, there will be someone by your side who will protect you."

"Is that so?" Josie leaned back on the table, with her gaze drifting.

"I hope so," She said softly.
