Since Toby allowed it, Tom didn’t need to hold back anymore. He nodded and said, “Miss Gray showed up not long after I accepted Miss Reed’s proposal. She was here to hand in her company’s proposal as well. Halfway through, I had to leave to make some coffee for Miss Gray, so I left all the proposals in the room, and there wasn’t anyone besides her back then.”

There was no need for further explanation from Tom, since everyone could see Tina was the one who did the switcheroo. Toby stared down, disappointed in Tina’s behavior.

“Nonsense!” Titus shot up and glared at Tom. “How dare you slander my daughter! Toby, your assistant is spewing lies!” Titus knew his daughter was the one who did it, but he couldn’t admit to it no matter what.

“President Gray, I’m an honest man. I didn’t lie at all. If you don’t believe me, I can show you the surveillance camera’s footage,” Tom rebutted unhappily. He worked to his bone to get to where he was, so he wouldn’t slander anyone, or he would have been fired a long time ago.

All the color drained from Titus’ face when Tom said he had evidence to back him up.

Sonia mocked, “What a nice daughter you have, President Gray. She went really far to get this deal, didn’t she?”

“True. This is an… eye-opening experience, so to speak,” someone agreed.

Titus was fuming, but he couldn’t do anything. All he wanted to do then was find some place to hide, for there was nothing but humiliation for him here. He had never felt so embarrassed before, not even when he was arrested.

After all, nobody knew what he did to warrant the arrest, but this time, it was different. Everyone knew Tina did a switcheroo, and they even thought Titus was behind it. He could imagine how everyone in the circle would view him after this.

Rage was filling Titus up. He hated Sonia for exposing the truth, for not taking the hit like he wanted her to. He hated Toby for exposing him publicly, but most of all, he hated Tina for doing this.

“President Fuller.” Since Titus had lost the battle, Sonia lost interest in him. So she turned to Toby. “Now that the truth is clear, what will you do, President Fuller? Will you keep working with President Gray, or…”

Toby interrupted, “Now that we know the truth, I hereby announce that we shall no longer be working with Titus Gray. President Reed shall be our new partner from now on. Any objections?” He looked at everyone.

Everyone shook their heads. “No.” Titus’ spot belonged to Sonia in the first place, and not to mention Sonia’s proposal was a decent one.
