I Was Forced to Become His Canary

chapter 3

That day, colleagues who thought they could finally leave work on time and rest were all sitting at their desks with gloomy faces, working overtime.

But a 7,000-page bidding proposal wasn't something they could finish in one night.

The next day, the project bid failed.

Sofia walked into the office with a big bag of coffee and said to everyone, "Oh, it's all Ms. Murray's fault for not saving the bidding documents properly, causing everyone to fail the bid."

"Ms. Murray, you should apologize to everyone. Your mistake has cost everyone their year-end bonuses!"

I took a deep breath and said coldly, "It was clearly you who used my computer without permission, causing the company to lose an $8 billion project."

Hearing this, everyone turned to Sofia in shock.

Sofia's face turned bright red. "You're just jealous that I'm with Julian, so you're deliberately slandering me to force us to break up!"

"Let me tell you, even if Julian breaks up with me, he would never fall for a vicious woman like you!"

At that moment, Julian happened to walk out of the office.

He held Sofia's hand and looked at me with a grim expression.

He said, "Diana, you mix personal matters with work, slander others at will, and caused the company to lose an $800 million project.

"As an intern, your lack of ability could be overlooked, but your character is so questionable. You're fired."

Moments later, I stood at the bottom of the building holding my belongings.

I looked back at the company, my gaze turning cold.

The next day was the Murray Group's annual meeting, where all branch managers, executives, and key employees were required to attend at the headquarters.

I attended with my dad.

Just as I went to get champagne, a piercing voice suddenly rang out.

"Diana? What are you doing here!"

Sofia walked toward me arm in arm with Julian.

She looked me up and down, gritted her teeth, and pointed at me, yelling, "Diana, you shameless homewrecker!"

"Do you still dare to deny that you have feelings for Julian?"

"To cling to him, you even stole an invitation to sneak in!"

Even Julian's gaze at me carried a hint of wariness.

He said, "Diana, I really didn't expect to see you here."

He coldly ordered, "Security! Throw her out!"

Looking at his self-righteous attitude, I couldn't help but roll my eyes.

I said, "Ms. Jackson, I've told you many times to stop talking nonsense."

"You say I sneaked in with a stolen invitation? Where's the proof?"

Sofia sneered sarcastically, "Weren't you fired? If you didn't sneak in, how else did you get in?"

"Security, get this woman out of here!"

The security guards at the venue approached upon hearing the commotion, but when they saw me, they all stopped in their tracks.

Julian frowned tightly. "Diana, I'm giving you one last chanceleave here immediately!"

"If you keep pestering, I'll blacklist you in the industry."

Hearing his threat, I couldn't help but laugh. "Blacklist me? Do you even qualify?"
