Chapter 124 You’re Fired

When did she start working here?” hreys asked, her tone even, though her eyes fingered on the team leader who’d recently dressed down the bussh young woman

The team leader, momentarily distracted, answered without verifying Freya’s identity. “From July.”

T’d like to ess the list of her assignments from the past couple of months,” Freya said, her voice steady but firm.

Without hesitation, the team leader pulled up a folder on the desktop

Assuming Freys we ons of the new high level hires from the Briggs Group, she began detailing, “These are all the propoests she’s submitted sincs onboarding”

“Only twoY”

“Thres, if you count the one she’s still working on,” the team leader said, sounding drained. When the chairman’s secretary had placed this female employee in their department and asked her to mentor her, she had genuinely tried

But it proved impossible like attempting to fashion silk from straw. The employee not only lacked knowledge but actively resisted learning

(That was why, when she failed to submit today’s required proposal, the team leader had finally lost her temper.

Freys reserved judgment. She opened one of the proposals and, upon examining its contents, couldn’t suppress

How could anyone consider such work acceptable?

Even university interns, with minimal guidance, produced superior results.

To ensure fairness before making accusations, Freya inquired about the young woman’s salary. Upon hearing the figure twenty thousand dollars monthly–Freya felt inclined to dismiss whoever had hired this girl as well.

Even a fraction of that compensation seemed excessive.

“You’re fired. Go to the finance department and settle your salary.” Freya didn’t waste words on someone so undeserving

The team leader froze in shock

So did everyone else.

They stared at Freya with wide eyes, clearly surprised by her decisive action.

“Is she really fired?” The team leader’s voice carried both relief and concern. “I believe someone influential supports Vienen Garza”

Freja remained unmoved. “She’s fired.”

The company had no place for the incompetent.

“You’re merely an investment advisor. How dare you terminate my employment?” Vivien Garza spotted the contract in Freya’s hand with “Investment Advisor” emblazoned on its cover. “When my father discovers this,

I’ll ensure you can’t remain here.”

Freya’s lips curved into a genuine smile.

She found herself curious about Vivien’s father–the man who had introduced such chaos into Briggs Group.

“Invite him over,” Freya suggested, wondering what position Vivien’s father held. “I’ll await him in conference room three.”

“Just wait!” Vivien hurled the threat before storming off.

Though her mother had warned against troubling Hugh unnecessarily, this situation had come to her doorstep. She planned to appear pitiful, shed a few tears, and she was certain Hugh would undoubtedly defend her.

Watching this unfold, the team leader grew uneasy. She worried Freya might mishandle the situation and create problems for herself.

“Focus on your responsibilities. I’ll address this matter,” Freya assured them before departing.

She intended to wait in the conference room but, noting the president’s office occupied the same floor, decided to consult her cousin first for better context.

At the door, she knocked and entered after receiving permission.

Alan Briggs worked diligently at his desk and asked without looking up, “What is it?”

“Have you hired any management staff with the surname Garza in the past two years?” Freya closed the door behind her, posing the question conversationally.

Two years ago, no management personnel with that surname had existed within the company.

Her inquiry caused Alan to halt mid–sentence.

His pen froze over the document as he glanced up sharply, disbelief transforming into recognition. His eyes widened with surprise and delight. “Mina!”

“Hi there, Alan,” Freya smiled gently at him.

“You mischievous girl! Where have you been these past two years?” Alan rose from his desk and embraced her, genuine affection warming his voice. “It’s one thing to explore and enjoy yourself, but you left the entire company for me to manage, robbing me of any chance for romance.”

“I simply went to explore Jeucwell,” Freya replied, relaxing into the familiar comfort of family.

Alan released her and playfully tapped her forehead. “You naughty girl!”

Freya rubbed the spot where he’d touched, feigning injury.

Though two years had elapsed, for adults, time moves with remarkable swiftness–two years had vanished like

moments.

They exchanged warm updates about their lives for several minutes, easing back into their familiar rapport.

Eventually, Alan’s expression shifted as a memory surfaced. “By the way, didn’t you ask me something when you first walked in?”

“Is there any senior executive with the surname Garza working in the company?”

“Garza?” Alan’s brow furrowed in concentration. “I don’t believe so.”

“Really?” Confusion flickered across freya’s features. Perhaps Vivien had adepted her mother’s surname instead?

“Really.” Alan nodded, concern creeping into his eyes. “Why do you ask?”

“Nothing significant. I’m about to terminate someone’s employment. You wouldn’t interfere with that decision, would you?” Freya raised an eyebrow teasingly.

“I always follow your lead. Do you imagine I’d stand in your way?” Alan flicked her forehead again, the gesture affectionate.

No matter her age, she remained that clever little girl in his eyes.

Comforted by his support, Freya promised to return later and departed to wait in the conference room.

After her exit, Alan puzzled over the executive with the surname Garza.

Suddenly, recognition dawned on him.

Oh no! Could Mina have encountered that person?

The possibility accelerated his heartbeat. Freya’s relationship with her father already carried tension, and if she discovered this particular matter, wouldn’t it create an irreparable divide?
