They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System

Chapter 364: Invitation

“Again?” Abel asked, amused. “Has it even been two months since they were supposedly ‘fired’ the first time?”

His tone was calm, but it carried weight. He turned to face Juliet fully, expression unreadable.

“Little sis, you are just here to gain some experience before heading back to school,” he said, his voice still composed but firm. “So tell me, why are you firing my core staff?”

Juliet’s expression darkened. The people behind her looked confused, this wasn’t the support they expected from him.

“I just thought I could help share your burden while I’m still here,” Juliet said, quickly adjusting her tone. “These three have been disobedient, disrespectful, and completely unprofessional. I thought it was only right to let them go.”

Abel paused, then nodded thoughtfully. “I see.”

He let the silence settle before asking again, this time slower. “Then why didn’t you ask for my permission first?”

“I thought you were busy, so I didn’t think to—” Juliet’s voice trailed off as she caught the look on Abel’s face. It was the kind of look that ended arguments before they started.

Abel shook his head and sighed. “Everyone, go back to work.”

The crowd that had gathered behind Juliet immediately began to disperse, sensing the shift in power. Lilian and Kosi returned to their offices after Nnenna gave them a small, reassuring nod.

But Juliet wasn’t done.

She noticed Nnenna was still standing there, calm and unmoved. It irritated her.

“Didn’t you hear my older brother?” she snapped. “Get back to work. Now.”
