Chapter 168

The next day, Benson Smith arrived at the office as usual, all geared up.

However, once he reached the office, he found himself being approached by May, who was accompanied by a few other senior management personnel of the company. The woman was holding the letter of his dismissal.

Benson Smith could not believe his eyes when he saw the letter of dismissal.

Sean Smith picked up just after a few rings. He spoke in a laidback manner, “Hey Benson, May was in charge of Diva Limited for a long time and is more familiar with the fashion industry. After some serious contemplation, I decided that she’s still the best person to manage the company.”

Benson Smith was still in denial. His voice was shaking as he said, “Dad, but I... “
