“You just screamed at the man who owns everything here?”
Rachel’s entire world collapsed in an instant. Her body trembled violently as she stumbled forward, falling to her knees.
“Please, ma’am! Please, Mr. President!” she cried desperately. “It was a misunderstanding! I didn’t know! I’m sorry! Please, I beg you—don’t fire me!”
Michael said nothing. He only watched, expression unreadable.
Rachel turned toward him, tears and coffee dripping down her face. “Please, sir! I’ve given everything to this job! I can’t lose it! Please… beg her for me… Please!”
Lilian’s eyes flared with disgust. “Enough.”
She immediately brought out her phone and called security.
Rachel’s eyes widened in horror. “No—please! Don’t do this! I’ll apologize! I’ll do anything!”
But her pleas fell on deaf ears.
