Chapter 202: Fury and Dismissal
Chapter 202: Fury and Dismissal
(Miranda’s POV)
;
I slammed the encrypted USB drive onto my mahogany desk with such force that my coffee cup rattled. The sound echoed through my corporate executive office like a gunshot.
“What garbage did you produce?” I screamed at Steven Cross, who stood before my desk with his head lowered. “If you can’t do the job, pack up and get out!”
Steven trembled visibly, his hands shaking as he tried to appease my rage. The newly appointed deputy project manager looked like he might collapse at any moment.
“Alpha Miranda, I… I can explain-” he stammered.
“Explain what?” I cut him off sharply. “How you managed to create the most pathetic pack alliance proposal I’ve ever seen?”
My fury burned white–hot as I thought about Connor’s dismissive rejection. The humiliation of being turned away so coldly made my wolf snarl with wounded pride.
Steven had just been promoted and was responsible for reviewing the Pack Alliance Proposal Documents that I had submitted to Connor Rivers. When I learned that this substandard work had cost me the
opportunity to collaborate with Rivers Pack Holdings, my fury knew no bounds.
Project manager Peter Yang stepped forward, attempting to defend his brother–in–law. “Alpha Miranda, Steven is new and might not understand your standards yet. Perhaps if we give him more time-”
“Is it that he doesn’t understand my standards, or that he got in through backdoor connections and lacks the actual ability?” I interrupted, my voice dripping with contempt. “You know the truth!”
Peter’s face paled as my accusation hit its mark. The guilt in his eyes confirmed what I had suspected all along.
Without hesitation, I pointed at Steven with a trembling finger. “You’re fired. Effective immediately.”
Steven immediately dropped to his knees, his professional dignity crumbling. “Alpha Miranda, please give me another chance! I have elderly parents and young children to support. I can’t lose this job. Please don’t fire
me!”
His desperate begging only fueled my anger further. I had no patience for incompetence, especially when it cost me valuable opportunities.
“Security!” I called out sharply.
Two beta guards appeared at my office door within seconds. They moved efficiently to escort Steven out despite his continued pleas.
My investigation had revealed that Peter Yang had used his position to bring his brother–in–law Steven Cross into the company through backdoor connections. Even worse, he had promoted him to deputy project manager without proper qualifications.
My wrath extended to Peter Yang as well. Despite his four years of service and generally good performance,
he had abused his authority by hiring his incompetent relative.
“You not only failed to do your job properly, but you also brought incompetent people into the company and put them in management positions,” I declared coldly.
Peter tried desperately to salvage his career. “Alpha Miranda, I’ve been busy with other pack business
projects and hadn’t given this proposal enough attention. If you give me another chance-”
“No excuses,” I snapped. “You’re fired too.”
The shock on Peter’s face was almost satisfying. He had thought his years of service would protect him from
consequences.
“Clear out your offices immediately,” I commanded. “Both of you.”
After the dismissals, I immediately called for an emergency meeting to appoint new project manager and deputy manager positions. The remaining staff looked terrified as they filed into the conference room.
“We’re starting over,” I announced to the assembled team. “The previous work was unacceptable.”
Under the supervision of the newly appointed project manager, the entire project team worked overtime for a week. They knew their jobs depended on creating a proposal that finally met my standards.
I personally reviewed every section, every clause, every detail. This time, there would be no mistakes.
Armed with the new Pack Alliance Proposal Documents, I headed to Rivers Pack Headquarters to seek another meeting with Connor Rivers. This proposal would prove my worth and secure the partnership I desperately needed.
At Rivers Pack Headquarters, the new receptionist Helen Martinez recognized me and greeted me warmly. Her respectful demeanor was a welcome change from the tension in my own office.
“Miss Blackwood, how lovely to see you again,” she said with a professional smile,
I took the elevator to the 27th floor reception room, knowing that only Connor’s private elevator could access the top floor where his office was located. The familiar surroundings reminded me of my previous
humiliation, but this time would be different.
(Olivia’s POV)
I arrived at Rivers Pack Headquarters carrying the Rivers Pack Legal Case Portfolio that required the company’s legal representative’s signature and official seal. The leather portfolio felt heavy in my hands as I approached the reception desk.
I had prepared several lawsuit filings for the cases Rivers Pack Holdings had commissioned. The legal documents needed proper authorization before I could proceed with the litigation.
“Excuse me,” I said politely to the receptionist. “I need to see Connor Rivers about some legal documents.”
Helen Martinez looked up from her computer screen with immediate suspicion. Her expression shifted from professional courtesy to barely concealed disdain.
“Do you have an appointment?” she asked curtly.
“No, but I’m his legal counsel,” I explained, trying to maintain my professional demeanor. “I have urgent documents that require his signature.”
Helen cut me off with a mocking laugh. “Every day there are strange she–wolves coming to see the Alpha, all
< Chapter 202 Fury and Dis
claiming they know him. I’ve heard this so many times my ears are getting calluses.”
Her dismissive tone made my wolf bristle with indignation. I had never been treated so rudely by pack staff
before.
“I advise you to leave and stop wasting your time here,” Helen continued with obvious contempt. “Our Alpha isn’t someone you can just meet whenever you want.”
