Revenge is best served cold novel Chapter 186

Before Heather could ask me what was so funny, a shadow loomed over me from behind. I turned around to see Harvey glaring at me with a dark expression. He snorted coldly. "Laughing this early in the morning? What's so funny?"

Hearing his voice, Heather instantly shrank back and buried herself in her work. She was afraid of getting dragged into his anger.

I looked at him calmly. "Do you need something, Mr. Zimmerman?"

Harvey cleared his throat with a slightly unnatural look in his gaze. "How's the presentation coming along? Is it done yet? It's needed in two days, so I expect to see it this afternoon."

I nodded. "It's almost done."

Perhaps my response was too neutral, but Harvey couldn't find a reason to lash out. He stood behind me for a long time, but in the end, he could only storm off in frustration.

That was fine by me. I was happy to be left alone and continued my work.

The moment lunch break ended, Harvey summoned me to his office.

Carrying my laptop, I noticed Heather looking at me with worry. I gave her a reassuring nod before stepping inside.

"How's it going?" Harvey asked. He wasn't even bothered to look at me as he spoke in a tone full of impatience.

"There's still some work left to do, but it'll be finished in time for tomorrow's presentation," I replied truthfully.

At my words, Harvey slammed his desk and exploded. "Are you trying to mess with me? I told you to finish it by this afternoon! If you delay tomorrow's presentation, do you think you can afford the consequences?"

I met his gaze calmly. "Mr. Zimmerman, are you hoping I'll say that I'll resign voluntarily if the presentation is delayed?"

Harvey didn't even flinch at being exposed. Instead, he smirked and dropped all pretense. "So what if I am? If tomorrow's presentation is a disaster, whether you resign or not, you're leaving this company."

I arched an eyebrow. "So, the reason you assigned me a presentation I might struggle with… was just to get rid of me?"
