The company director fired me in front of everyone. Two hours later, he called and said, “Dress nicely and meet me by the lake. Don’t tell anyone we’re meeting.” When I arrived, he asked me to take a photo with him… and the next morning, that photo was hanging on the door of his office

I barely slept that night.

I felt as if I had somehow become part of a bizarre game.

The next morning, the moment I walked into the company building, I could tell something was wrong.

People were staring at me.

Some were whispering.

Karen even walked up to me with a cold smile.

“Well, now it makes sense why he always treated you differently.”

“What are you talking about?”

She simply pointed toward the director’s office.

When I walked closer, my heart dropped.

There was no explanation beneath it.

Only the date.

My face started burning.

People had already made up all kinds of stories.

Some probably believed there was some kind of secret relationship between us.

And at that exact moment, Mr. Wilson opened the door.

“Emily, come in.”

Inside the office were five members of the company board, the chief financial officer, the company lawyer, and Mark.

I immediately realized this was much more serious than I had thought.
