Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right by Czy Season

Chapter 700

Debra raised her eyebrows innocently. "Ms. Blair, I've hardly said a word since I've been standing here. How did I end up being your target?"

Shelia scoffed, "Are you seriously going to pretend that Mr. Houston isn't doing this to defend you? Everyone knows he wouldn't even bother with women. So much for being a man of principle. He's just another guy using his power to push around women." To the untrained eye, Shelia played the victim flawlessly. Her eyes shimmered with unshed tears, her bottom lip trembling ever so slightly.

She had always been adept at playing the damsel, garnering sympathy from those around her.

But Debra saw right through her act. "Mr. Houston's decision to let you go has nothing to do with me. It's because you're not fit for the position."

Shelia's eyes narrowed, her voice rising in defense. "I've only been on the job for a week. What makes you think I'm not qualified?"

Debra's smile was faint but mocking. "So, you're aware of it. But from what I hear, you haven't accomplished a single thing since you took the role."

Shelia retorted, "Getting things done takes time. It's too complicated for someone getting into Arcane Academy through connections to understand. It's difficult to manage such a big company."
