Everyone in the room froze, disbelief etched on their faces as they stared at Ethan.
Just a while ago, he had been a mere employee at the company–he wasn’t even qualified to enter this conference room.
Now he was attempting to fire me, which left everyone stunned.
Mark frowned and asked, “Ethan, do you even know what you’re saying?”
“Mark!”
Ethan retorted confidently.
“I’m now the general manager of this

Soon after, other board members followed suit.
Sophie was taken aback and shouted, “I’m the chairperson! I have veto power!”
Ethan threw a tantrum, shouting, “Are you all insane? You’re going to listen to Kyle, this freeloader?”
The board members looked at him with expressions of disbelief.
Ethan yelled at the security guards, “What are you waiting for? Get Kyle out of here!”
However, the guards remained motionless. and merely stared at him with
bemusement.
