Chapter 3

"What authority do you have to make rules?"

Spencer crossed his arms, his mouth wide open, shamelessly declaring, "I'm going to be part owner of this company someday, so what if I make the rules?"

I was too fed up to argue with him. "Then you can expect a lawsuit from me."

With that, I strode out.

I gathered my things and drove home. As soon as I put everything away, I saw a message from Spencer in the company WhatsApp group, which I hadn't yet left.

"From now on, any message I send on SnapChat or WhatsApp must be replied to. Those who don't reply will suffer the same fate as the person fired today."

It seemed he really did fire me just because I hadn't joined in the flattery.

Jessica really hit the bottom of the barrel with this loser, didn't she?

Replies immediately started flooding the group chat. Annoyed, I simply exited all of them.

My phone was suddenly much quieter.

But Spencer wouldn't let me take my last month's pay? I'd have to teach him a lesson.

All my important clients were in my SnapChat contacts, so I sent a mass message to them, explaining that I had resigned and was no longer handling business for the company.

Most of these people were clients I had brought in, and they worked with the company because of me.

If I left, they would most likely follow me.

Sure enough, within two minutes, my former clients started messaging me, asking which company I was moving to and expressing their willingness to transfer their contracts.

I explained the situation to each of them, telling them I hadn't found a new job yet but would contact them immediately once I did.

I had so many SnapChat clients that I replied to messages until dark, eventually falling asleep from exhaustion.

When I woke up the next morning, Chloe had sent me a message: "Riley, a lot of our partners are saying they want to cancel their contracts and won't renew. Was that you?"

Looks like my plan was working. I chuckled softly. "I didn't do anything, except state the fact that I've left the company."

"You're amazing, Riley! Spencer came in this morning, heard about it, and blew up at several sales reps, demanding to know why they couldn't keep clients. Now several of them are planning to quit, saying they can't stand this treatment."

It seemed many people in the company were unhappy with Spencer. I wondered how he would clean up this mess.

Meanwhile, I prepared to contact a lawyer to sue and get my wages back.

It wasn't that I desperately needed the money, but I wasn't going to let him get off easy.

A few days later, Spencer actually called me.

I was surprised, answering with a puzzled, "What do you want?"

As soon as I picked up, I was met with a torrent of abuse.

"Riley, are you even human?! Where are all the company's client contacts? They all say they're with you! Hand over those phone numbers right now! They're company property! I'll sue you, I swear!"

I was stunned, then realized Spencer was panicking.

"How can you be so disgusting? Hand over those client numbers! Or I'll kill you, you hear me?!"
