George sank to the floor, his eyes brimming with despair and anguish.


    The swift promotion to a senior executive role at such a young age stemmedrgely from the stringent employment contract he had signed willingly. Spikeworth Corps had implemented a demanding and one-sided contract designed to tighten their grip on employees. While a promotion was guaranteed upon signing, it came with the expectation that employees would demonstrate their value and loyalty through hard work. Failure to meet performance metrics or any disputes could lead to thepany filing a massivewsuit against them.


    Many potential employees hesitated to sign such a harsh contract due to its severe terms and conditions. However, George, a fresh graduate brimming with ambition and confidence, signed it without hesitation, despite the potential pitfalls.


    Indeed, he was immediately promoted, and thepany initially held him in high regard. Yet now, he faced the bitter aftermath of his choices!


    Kneeling on the ground, George trembled in disbelief and sorrow.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    He had poured his heart and soul into Spikeworth Corps, but now, not only was thepany seeking to sue him for $5 million, but Zeke White had also publicly renounced him…


    How would he ever find another job?! Without employment, he would have no ie, plunging his life into chaos alongside the looming $5 million debt. Jail seemed to be the only alternative…


    Desperately, he clung to Zeke’s leg, pleading, “Mr. White, please, I beg you! Forgive me! Give me another chance! If you cklist me, I won’t be able to pay thepensation! I’ll do anything to prove myself! I’ll be loyal to thepany; I’ll work harder than ever! Please!”


    Zeke kicked him away in irritation, growling, “What good is your apology now? It’s toote! Do you really think this world revolves around you? After all this chaos, do you believe you can simply say ‘I’m sorry’ and walk away? It’s toote, you fool! If Master Wade turns his back on me because of you, I’ll make sure you pay!”


    George shook with fear, his face as pale as a ghost. He had never imagined that Charlie, whom he regarded as a deadbeat loser, wielded such power that Zeke would threaten his life over him!


    If only he had known this was how things would unfold, he would have dly knelt before ire when they first met instead of rejecting her…


    But s, it was toote now. His fate was sealed…


    At that moment, Zeke noticed Joanne and Jerry in the office and frowned in irritation, “Who are you? Are you friends of his, or are you employees of Spikeworth?”


    Joanne and Jerry exchanged surprised nces and quickly replied, “Oh! No, no, we have nothing to do with George! We don’t even know him.”


    There was no way they would admit to knowing him at such a crucial moment! It was best to distance themselves entirely!


    Zeke eyed them suspiciously, “Really? Then why were you in his office, chatting andughing?”


    George snapped angrily, “Mr. White, they are my college friends. It was their idea for me to reject ire Wilson after I failed her interview!”


    He red at them, filled with indignation. Jerry and Joanne were the main architects of his current misfortune. They wouldn’t escape this reckoning!


    Zeke squinted at them, annoyance etched on his face. “Ah, so it’s a dog fight, is it? cklist these two as well!”


    Jerry was trembling with fear. He lunged at George like a madman, fists flying. “George Harris, you traitor! How dare you drag me down with you! I’ll make you pay!”


    ***


    Meanwhile, Charlie and ire were in a taxi, heading home.


    ire was unusually quiet, lost in thought. Charlie took her hand and reassured her, “You’ll find another job. It’s their loss for not hiring you. Honestly, from what I see, thatpany is too small for your potential. I doubt they could offer you the right tform to truly shine.”<fnf078> This text is hosted at </fnf078>
