Chapter 133: Are you sure about that?
As soon as the words left my lips, Serena whipped her head around to look at me as shock flashed past her eyes for a fleeting moment.
"What?" She muttered under her breath, her voice laced with a hint of confusion as her brows were knitted together. "What are you –"
Julia and the rest of them started laughing in a condescending manner before I could even say another word, also interrupting Serena. Her eyes flickered over to glance at Serena before she turned back to meet my eyes, raising an eyebrow at me with an incredulous look plastered across her face.
"Her? Quit this job?" She mocked as a snicker emerged from her throat. "What is a stay-at-home-mother going to do? No one else is going to hire her, she should be thankful that we even let her have a job here," she snarled with a disdainful scorn.
A cold chuckle escaped from my parted lips as I kept my gaze steady. "For a sales assistant, you sure talk like you are the store manager," I retorted as my features hardened. "Aren’t you scared that you will lose your job for acting like that?" I asked through gritted teeth.
She scoffed loudly with an arrogant look etched onto her face, smugness radiating from every inch of her skin. She folded her arms over her chest and took a step towards me, closing the gap between us.
"Scared? Why would I be? I may not be the store manager but my boyfriend is," she announced proudly as her eyes gleamed with a knowing look. "You couldn’t try to fire me even if you wanted to. Serena, on the other hand...I could get him to fire her if I wanted to," she boasted.
"You know..." she drawled, her voice trailing off she savoured every syllable of the words that left her mouth. "She should thank me for being so generous and understanding. If she had been in some other store, she might have already been fired by now," she sneered as a snicker escaped from the gaps between her fingers.
Another chuckle left my lips again. I raised my brow at her, unfazed by her taunting and mockery. "Fire her?" I repeated, tossing the words right back at her. "There’s no need to. I told you that she is quitting. No need for your generosity and understanding at all." I reiterated as my voice remained unwavering and a look of certainty was stretched across my face.
