Chapter 253: This is your Fault Chapter 253: This is your Fault Her breath felt caught in her throat.

Cleaning the entire two story building?

It would take hours, probably the whole night.

This wasn’t just a punishment.

This was a warning, a message to everyone: Challenge me, and this is what happens to you.

Chinwa’s face remained perfectly composed as she delivered the final blow.

“Well, if you don’t want to do it,” she said, “you can collect your last paycheck.

You are the accountant so that should be very easy.

You can resign immediately.” The words hung in the air like a guillotine.

The remaining staff stood frozen, their faces a mix of pity and fear.

Kosi’s lips parted, but no words came out.

She was trapped, either spend the entire night cleaning or lose her job on the spot.

Chinwa didn’t wait for a response.

With an air of absolute satisfaction, she slung her bag over her shoulder and sauntered toward the exit, laughter spilling from her lips as if this was nothing more than a casual joke.

One by one, the other staff members followed her, their heads low.

None of them dared to look at Kosi for too long, afraid that even a glance of sympathy might put them in Chinwa’s bad books next.

But as they walked away, their silence spoke volumes.

They pitied Kosi, sure.

But at the same time, an unsettling resentment flickered in their eyes when they looked at Nnenna.

This is your fault.

She could almost hear their unspoken accusations.

Even though she hadn’t asked Kosi to defend her, even though she had been the one getting bullied, somehow, the blame still fell on her.

Because if she had just cleaned and shut up, none of this would have happened.

As the last of the staff members trailed out, leaving Kosi standing frozen in place, Nnenna clenched her fists.

This wasn’t right.
