Janice chuckled and gently pushed Dawn toward the car.

“Stop overthinking it. Just go home. Finally got apany–paid day off–I’m gonna sleep like a log. See you tomorrow!”
Watching the cab drive away, Janice let out a heavy sigh of relief.
She pulled out her phone and sent a message to the boss.
“Wendy apologized. Dawn went home.”
In the office, Ethan leaned back in his chair with his long legs casually resting on the edge of the desk, his slender fingers holding his phone as he read the message. His usually sharp brows rxed just a little.
Just then, Tony pushed the door open.
“Boss, the evidence has been submitted. And there are two women who were harassed by Marshall, willing to testify in court.”
With that, Marshall was finished.
“Good.”
Ethan twirled his phone in his palm, his dark eyes sharp andmanding. “Have HR issue a statement listing all of Wendy’s misconduct. From now on, she’ll never coborate with us again.”
Since she had pushed Dawn into trouble this time, she had probably done simr things before. Her career ended here. It was just karma catching up.
Tony didn’t feel any pity. He left and immediately made the necessary calls,
Within two hours, HR posted an announcement in thepany chat: Wendy had been fired for personal misconduct, and any brands working with Dreammaker Studios would never work with Wendy again. <fn54bf> Discover more novels at Find★Novel</fn54bf>
The announcement spread like wildfire.
Wendy had been at Dreammaker Studios for quite a while, and she had lots of notable works.
And now, she was suddenly fired?

But after learning why, everyone agreed she had brought it on herself.

Lucky someone like her was gone. Otherwise, who knew who would be forced to drink next?
Small chat groups buzzed with gossip, even uncovering some of Wendy’s lesser–known misdeeds, and everyone shared a few harsh remarks in solidarity.
Once the gossip died down, the next question was: Who would take over Wendy’s position?
That remained a mystery.
Dawn quietly read the messages, only replying when tagged. As for who would be the next team lead, it didn’t matter to her.
By 7 p.m., an engine sounded in the courtyard.
Dawn sprang up from the couch, quickly brushed her hair, slipped on her shoes, and sat properly.
She took two deep breaths, and even she didn’t quite understand why she was doing this.
<i>Doesn’t </i><i>Ethan </i><i>already </i><i>know </i>what <i>I’m </i><i>like</i>? <i>He’s </i><i>seen </i><i>me </i><i>like </i><i>this </i><i>since </i>I <i>was </i><i>little </i>…
Dawn pursed her lips, feeling a small, unexined annoyance.
When Ethan pushed the door open, he saw her sitting up straight like a good girl, perfectly still.
He couldn’t help but smirk, tilting his head. “Ms. Porter, what exactly are you doing?”
“I …” Dawn’s cheeks flushed instantly, stammering, “Nothing … Just waiting for you toe back so we can eat together.”
Ethan’s smile widened as he lifted the dishes in his hand. “Alright. Give me 30 minutes.”
He set the food aside, removed his suit jacket and wristwatch, then rolled up his shirt sleeves with a smooth, flowing motion that was mesmerizing to watch.
Before he looked her way, Dawn quickly turned her face.
The soft sound of hisughter reached her ears, making the tips of her ears burn red,
Once the kitchen door closed, Dawn exhaled slowly, releasing the breath she had been holding in her chest, blinking several times.

During dinner, Ethan briefly asked about the day’s events, and Dawn answered each question. By the end, she was still puzzled. “Looks like I really underestimated Dreammaker Studios. They handle employee matters so quickly.”
She had only met Wendy at noon, and by the afternoon, HR had already issued an
announcement.
<i>Wendy </i><i>couldn’t </i><i>have </i><i>spread </i><i>it </i><i>herself</i><i>, </i><i>right</i><i>? </i><i>Did </i><i>the </i><ipany </i><i>nt </i><i>listening </i><i>devices </i><i>on </i><i>everyone</i><i>? </i>
Dawn looked down at her food, not noticing that Ethan had paused mid–bite. Then, in his calm, casual voice, he said, “That’s a good thing. They’re being responsible for every employee.”
“Of course.”
Not manypanies could manage that.
Dawn couldn’t help but sigh. “What a shame. Last time the boss came to the office, I didn’t get to see him. I was actually curious.”
Ethan raised an eyebrow. “Curious about what?”
“Curious what kind of person he is.”
Dawn rested her chin on her hand, thinking and shaking her head. “Must be a very refined, gentlemanly person.”
Ethan’s brow twitched, and he almost felt jealous.
But then he thought, <i>So </i><i>what </i><i>she’s </i><i>curious</i>? <i>I’m </i><i>her </i><i>boss</i>!
Thinking this, Ethan’s brief worry faded, and he rxed. “You’ll definitely get a chance to meet him. Maybe you’ll be surprised when you do.”
