But Jasmine couldn’t adapt to running around for business.
So I arranged a cushy job for her instead.

But now that she had hooked up with Lucas, she came to flaunt her power in front of me.
I looked down at her and smiled.
“You should stop calling me senior. I don’t have any juniors who are homewreckers.”

The company employees all perked up their ears to listen to the gossip between Jasmine and me.
With that one sentence, Jasmine was sure to feature prominently in the company rumors for a while.
“You!” Jasmine was furious, pointing at me.
But there wasn’t much she could do to me.
“Hmph!” Jasmine gave a cold laugh, then turned her attention to the few people who were close to me.
“You, you, and you lot – what are you doing slacking off during work hours?”
“Should I tell Lucas to fire you all?”
“Our company has plenty of people wanting to join anyway, losing a few of you won’t matter!”
Hearing this, my expression changed.
The people Jasmine had singled out were all those who had good relationships with me.
I knew Jasmine was targeting them because of me.
Even though Jasmine didn’t actually have the authority to fire them now, if she whispered in Lucas’s ear…
Lily and the others would definitely have a hard time.
“Who do you think you are? A homewrecker who slept her way up thinks she can throw her weight around now!”
Lily had always been direct and immediately confronted Jasmine.
I was trying to think of a solution when I saw Lucas come over too.
“What’s all this noise about? Don’t you have work to do?”
Lucas frowned, his tone very unpleasant.
“Lucas, they were all slacking off at work. I think we should fire them!”
Jasmine immediately went to cling to his arm and act coy when she saw Lucas.
Lucas heard Jasmine’s words and glanced at me.
I looked at him expressionlessly, not saying anything.
I thought it was just a few words from Jasmine. Lucas knew these people were all trained by me personally.
He wouldn’t fire them just based on her baseless accusations.

But I was wrong. Lucas seemed determined to go against me.
“Fine, you lot don’t need to come in tomorrow.”
Lucas said these words while still looking at me.
Did he want me to beg?
I tugged at the corner of my mouth. Did Lucas think I would just let him bully me?
“Lucas, have you forgotten I still hold 21% of the company shares?”
