drive onto the desk. Her glare could have set the room on fire. "What is this trash?
If
f you can't even do your job, then pack your stuff and leave. Now."
The assistant project manager stood in front of her, head bowed and voice barely above a whisper. "Ms. Witt,
please calm down."
"You're the new assistant project manager, right? You're the one who signed off on this proposal?" Carolyn leaned
back in her chair, eyes narrowed as she sized
him up.
"Yes..." Devin stuttered, sweat gathering at his hairline.
As CEO, Carolyn rarely bothered with something as minor as approving project proposals. That was far below her.
Off to the side, project manager Peter kept his eyes glued to the floor. "Ms. Witt, Devin just started. He might not
be familiar with your standards yet, so—"
She cut him off, cold and sharp. "Is it that he doesn't know my standards, or did you just pull strings to sneak

"Ms. Witt, please! Just giveanother chance!" Devin dropped to his knees, his voice cracking.

Her assistant responded immediately, "Yes, Ms. Witt."
Devin stayed on the floor, begging, but Carolyn ignored him. She turned to Peter instead. "Peter, how long have
you been at the company's domestic branch?"
Peter's forehead was slick with sweat. He answered quietly, "Four years."
"You're good at your job," Carolyn said, her tone suddenly even colder. "But you crossed the line."

She grabbed a stack of papers and flung them at Peter. The pages hit his face and scattered everywherez "You

Who would've thought he'd use his role to bring in his own brother-in-law and prop him up to management?
Carolyn never bothered with these lower-level hires.
But this one mistake had just cost her a huge deal with Fisher Corporation. She was furious.

floor. "Ms Witt, it de ngistake |
