The True Heiress's Return

Chapter 305

"What? Ted has worked for a long time in the company and was one of the main leaders of the smart project." one said.

"Once this project kicks off, he's bound to become a big star in the company, potentially getting a promotion. Why would the company let him go..." he asked.

"The version I heard is that Ted ticked off Mr. Lopez. Even the project department couldn't save him, and it was Brian who personally went to deliver the order," another man said. "Great.

Shakira stopped. She glanced at him, her cool face showing no expression as she asked, "What's your relationship with Ted, the project manager?"

Quincy was like a deer in headlights. "How did you know?" Realizing he had let something slip, Quincy quickly covered his mouth, looking utterly terrified.
