Love and Devotion No Longer His to Claim (Angela and Dexter) novel Chapter 368

Maverick felt complicated. After a moment of silence, he let out a bitter laugh. "I was forced to resign by Bryan and his lackeys. Can I really go back?"

The thought alone filled him with anger. He had dedicated years of hard work to the company, yet he had been sidelined and suppressed, reduced to a mere outcast.

In the end, Bryan had even demoted him to the finance department, where he had been left to be humiliated.

"Have faith. I believe in you," Angela replied coldly.

The next morning, Maverick returned to Celestia Jewels. The moment he stepped into the meeting room, the deputy general manager, Taylor Monroe, let out a cold sneer. He was Bryan's right-hand man and Maverick's former rival.

"Maverick, your resignation has already been approved. Didn't HR inform you? You don't need to come back anymore. You already took your belongings when you left. So why are you here?" Taylor stood up from the main seat, smirking at Maverick.

The two had once been evenly matched rivals, but unfortunately, Maverick had chosen the wrong side. His stubbornness had only made it easier for Taylor to target him without mercy.

"That's right, Maverick. Why are you back?"

"You've already resigned. Do you regret it? Stop dreaming."

"Why is there someone this shameless in our company? It's honestly disgusting."

Not only did the skinny Taylor mock him, but the veteran employees filing into the meeting room also wore mocking expressions, as if Maverick's presence had become a shared joke between them.

Maverick didn't bother engaging with them. Instead, he took out an appointment letter personally signed by Angela and declared calmly, "I've been appointed by Ms. Angela Graham as the new general manager of Celestia Jewels. This is—"

"Exactly! What gives him the right to be the general manager? He's just a damn accountant!" someone shouted angrily, refusing to accept the truth.

"Sorry to disappoint you, but Ms. Graham values my abilities. She handed this position to me personally."

Maverick approached the main seat, his cold gaze sweeping across the room. "The meeting starts now."

Everyone was stunned. In that instant, all eyes turned to Taylor.

Maverick sat down calmly and announced his first decision—to officially dismiss seven employees, including Taylor.

Taylor was seething. He yelled, "Maverick, are you out of your mind? Are you trying to destroy the company?"
