Emelie questioned, “What exactly does Mr. Middleton wish me to explain?”

“Why fire her?” asked William

Emelie plainly explained, “She was responsible for the mistake in the Waypoint Corporation contract as a decimal was incorrectly placed.

“Fortunately, our strong relationship with the client softened the impact. According to our policy, a new employee whose significant error endangers the firm’s interests is subject to dismissal and potentially additional consequences.”

William asked, “What if I insist on keeping her?”
