The next moming, as soon as Charlotte arrived at the firm, she could sense something was off
Every lime dr wallod, e caught bits of hashed whispers. People were clearly talking but went quiet the moment she passed by.
She made her way to her desk
Her office wasmetly empty. Max was still recovering in the hospital <b>so </b>she had the whole space to herself.
Not long after she sat down, Yvonne appeared at the door. She knocked wer
<b>“</b>Come to my office for a minute.”
Charlotte had a good idea what this was
It had to be what happenedst night.
<b>.25 </b>Bonus
Inside the office Yvonne sat behind her desk, her expression sharp,ced with anger.
* sent you and Willy to negotiate with the clientsst night. And what do I hear? That you got <b>to </b><b>a </b>conflict with them and ended up <b>physically </b>attacking them?”
Charlotte replied calmly, “I went there to negotiate. But those two men had no interest in business. All they were thinking about was disgusting, inappropriate stuff. They crossed a line. I defended myself.”
Yvonne’s expression darkened further, her voice turning harsh.
“Charlotte, I <b>know </b>you can handle yourself. In <b>fact</b>, you saved us during that incident a while back. But you need to understand that violence doesn’t <b>solve </b>
charlotte’stone remained cool
“I was polite at first. But they clearly didn’t understand decency. Miss Yarnell, I’m awyer, <b>not </b><b>a </b>bar hostess. Clients like that? We’re better off without them.” Thatment made Yvonne snap. She mmed <b>a </b>hand on the desk and shouted, “What anego! <b>Do </b>you have any idea how much your impulsiveness cost the <b>firm</b>? Tui legal advisory contract alone was worth $150,000! Add in the contract dispute and trademarkcase–those would’ve brought in at least $500,000 in fees! And you? You went off and hit them without hesitation. That’s $650,000 gone. Are you going to make up for that loss?”
Charlotte

Se. Il patch the hole today. But in the future, don’t send me to meet clients whose brains are full of ith.”
yvonne didn’t believe she could <b>actually </b>do it. Her tone turned cold <b>and </b>firm.
“Fine. <b>By </b>the end of today, I want that contract signed and proof of payment. If <b>not</b>, don’t bothering in tomorrow. ording to the firm’s HR policies andborw, if you cause serious financial loss, we have the right to fire you withoutpensation.”
Charlotte’s express didn’t change.
