Alaric, fuming, pointed at the sleazy guy, "This jerk actually dared to start a fight in the office. Just fire him."

Ethan panicked, saying, "It wasn't my fault, alright? The new girl threw the first punch. I was just defending myself."

Evelina, pretending to be a fake angel, said, "But she's a girl. You can't just retaliate like that."

Ethan didn't dare to argue back, knowing Alaric was backing the new girl. Their relationship was a mystery to him.

Evelina tugged at Alaric's sleeve, whispering, "Alaric, firing someone shouldn't be so hasty. We're in a professional setting."

Alaric's gaze shifted to Lemira, his tone stiff, "What do you think?"

Lemira looked indifferent, "Doesn't matter to me," and walked away with her purse.

Alaric was visibly upset, "What's with her attitude?"
