Game Over No Second Chances

Chapter 184

Chris had been a mid-level employee at Amber Group for years.

The company had been filled with people who got in through connections, but some tasks still required real expertise.

Chris had been the unlucky one, excelling in his work and handling major responsibilities single-handedly. That was why Serena had chosen to keep him.

Serena chuckled instead of getting angry.
