"I'm the top salesperson who brings in millions in revenue for the company. Just because I didn't compliment her looks in the company SnapChat group, she fired me without hesitation. She replaced me with her cousin. Until later, when the company's sales plummeted to zero. She came to apologize to me in person. "Please come back. My boyfriend said he'd break up with me if you don't return." 1 The boss went on a business trip for a month and left his girlfriend in charge of the company. Who knew that her first act as the new boss would be to target me? At 10 AM, I arrived at the office on time. I saw my colleague looking nervous, pointing at the boss's office and whispering, "Tiffany's here. She wants to see you!" Tiffany Fox was the boss's new girlfriend, known for her arrogance and bullying. She would curse at anyone she didn't like. Once, when a female colleague stayed a bit longer in the boss's office to report work, Tiffany spread rumors that she was a prostitute. She bullied that girl so much that she was forced to resign. But because Tiffany was sweet-talking and good at flattery, the boss usually let her do whatever she wanted. I didn't expect her to target me now. I put down my coffee and pushed open the door to enter the office. As soon as I entered, a file flew towards my face. "Do you know what time it is? Company policy states work starts at 8 AM.

Since then, the boss had treated me like a precious asset, usually listening to my opinions on major decisions. She slammed the table, her face contorted with rage: "Look at your punch card. You've been coming in at 10 for a whole month. Do you think you're above company rules?" "According to company policy, three consecutive days of tardiness can result in termination!" "You can get out now!" I looked at Tiffany in disbelief: "You're firing me? Did you ask the boss?" I created 80% of the company's profits, and she dared to fire me? Tiffany snorted coldly, looking at me with disdain: "You're just a salesperson. A lousy peddler. What's wrong with me firing you?" "This is my boyfriend's company. I'm the boss's girlfriend, I can fire whoever I want!" The boss had treated me well, so I couldn't just leave like this. I sat down on the sofa: "You should ask for the boss's opinion first." Tiffany rolled her eyes: "Who do you think you are?" Saying this, she directly called the boss. The boss's voice on the other end sounded tired: "What's the matter?" Tif...
