Chapter 4
I pulled up my phone payment code and shoved it in front of Chloe.
"$1,200. Scan it and pay up."
Her eyes flickered, and she hurriedly covered her hand while changing the subject, putting on a show of frowning.
"Your computer hit me, and my hand hurts!"
The coworkers followed along and started jeering.
"Victoria, look at you. You injured her hand, so hurry up and apologize!"
I ignored them and pushed the payment code even closer.
"Cut the crap. Scan it. Pay me."
Chloe's face flushed red, and she argued back with her neck stiff.
"Your crappy computer should have been thrown out ages ago. And you still want $1,200? Who do you think you're fooling? Do you think I'm some sucker?"
Amid the arguing, Harrison came out of his office and shielded Chloe behind him.
"Victoria, aren't you resigning?"
"You're still making a scene and bullying coworkers before you leave. What exactly are you trying to do?"
I lifted my eyes and looked straight at Harrison.
"Chloe went through my private computer without permission, then deliberately smashed it. Either she pays, or I call the police."
Chloe hid behind Harrison a little more, looking like she had been deeply wronged.
"Victoria was terrifying just now. She scared me, and my hand got hurt too..."
Harrison frowned deeply and looked at me with scorn.
"Victoria, I think you're really obsessed with money!"
"It's just a little thing between coworkers, and the first thing out of your mouth is payment or the police. Is it really that serious?"
"If you dare to make trouble here today, then when you join your next company, I'll personally tell them everything truthfully. Let's see which company would still dare to hire you!"
Just then, my phone vibrated, and a message from my boyfriend Howard popped up.
"The new studio is already rented! 'Victoria Wedding Planning Studio' will be officially open soon!"
Seeing that message, my heart finally settled down completely.
Harrison had only one obsession in his whole life: making his wedding company number one in the country.
But now, his biggest rival had appeared.
Seeing that I still hadn't said anything after a long time, Chloe thought Harrison's threat had scared me.
She deliberately acted generous and gave him a look.
"Harrison, since Victoria did contribute a little to the company before, how about letting her stay on as my assistant to run errands? I don't mind."
Harrison understood what she meant and picked up the thread.
"Victoria, I'll give you a chance."
"If you can go sign the wedding contract for the billionaire's eldest son, the company can barely keep you. Otherwise, pack your things and get out now!"
"Without the company platform, you're nothing!"
Looking at his arrogant face, I had no patience left.
"Harrison, when the company first started, there were only three of us."
"I handled everything myself, from signing clients to design to execution, and I kept it going little by little until now."
"I had feelings for this place, so I kept giving in again and again. But now I don't want to give in anymore. The $10,000 commission and the computer compensation are both what I deserve."
I took half a step forward and stared at his evasive eyes, word by word.
"Do you really have to make this so ugly that we can't part on good terms?"
