Chapter 146: Many people, Aimee included, stood in shock.


    After all, thepany wasnt just men it was a mix of both men and women.


    If those private photos ever saw the light of day, how could she face anyone again? Just as everything seemed to be teetering on the edge of disaster, Marcs phone failed to connect to theputer.


    He fumbled, only to realize theputer wouldnt even power on it waspletely fried! Were you nning to show off the private pictures you sneakily took of these women? Allisons voice cut through the room like a knife.


    She had already essed hisputer and now had it disyed on therge screen for all to see.


    The files were gone, erased without a trace.


    Im afraid youll have no luck.


    Ive already deleted everything.


    However, lets not forget thepany has surveince cameras, and everyone here is a witness.


    You might think youve dodged a bullet, but this wont end well for you.


    Marc stood frozen in ce, disbelief stered on his face.


    This cant be happening! Its impossible! His eyes darted between the screen and Allison.


    He suddenly remembered when shed first joined thepany, disying her sharpputer skills and boosting the systems security with ease.


    Was she just biding her time, waiting for him to slip up? Now enraged, Marcs temper red.


    You did this on purpose! You set me up, didnt you, Allison? He knew thew woulde down on him like a hammer.


    When the police arrived and pieced together what had happened, they swiftly arrested Marc.


    His cronies werent spared either they were rounded up for questioning, and the looming threat of a criminal record hung over their heads like a dark cloud, ready to crush any hopes of future employment.


    The room fell into stunned silence.


    Aimee was the first to break it, her voice quivering with emotion.


    Ms.


    rke… thank you.


    If it werent for you, those photos wouldve been everywhere by now.


    She knew that by doing so, Allison was protecting her reputation.


    Now, everyone assumed Aimee, like the other women, had only been secretly photographed by Marc from under her skirt and wouldnt know she had been caught in private photos with a male client.


    Once Aimee spoke, the other women quickly followed suit.


    Thank you, Ms.


    rke! That creep wouldnt have confessed otherwise.


    Marc and his little crew got exactly what wasing to them! ckmailing women with those photos and even worse, nning to spread them? Its sick! People were excited.


    We owe you big time, Ms.


    rke.


    Not only did you wipe those pictures clean, but you also caught the thief from thest robbery.


    Youre incredible! Im really sorry, Ms.


    rke.


    I judged you because of the rumors, but you didnt hold it against us, and you stood up for us! Respect for Allison grew by the second.


    She was sharp, fair, and didnt back down qualities everyone admired in a leader.


    Fully aware of the cutthroat nature of the workce, Allison cut straight to the chase.


    Ill be blunt.


    Some of you might think bullying in the workce and ying petty games is just business as usual, but I wont turn a blind eye.


    Her smile was unnerving, like a wolf baring its teeth.


    If anyone even thinks about pulling a stunt like Marcs, go ahead and try.


    Youll not only lose your job, but youll face much bigger consequences.


    The message hit home.


    Those with bad intentions shrank back, too intimidated to speak.


    The atmosphere had shifted.


    Allison nowmanded a new level of respect from everyone.


    She quickly took charge, leaving no room for doubt.


    Aimee, youre promoted to team leader.


    As for the rest of you, split into groups of five and start on theb repairs.


    Speed up perfume production while youre at it.


    Aimee was rooted to the spot, her eyes welling up with tears.


    Thank you… II dont know how to thank you enough, Ms.


    rke.


    Ken, who had been watching silently, saw Allison in a whole new light.


    She was even more decisive and efficient than hed expected, easily taking control of the situation and earning the admiration of her team.


    Shed not only turned the tide, but shed done it in a way that left everyone in awe.


    Even Ken had to admit that the more he saw of Allison, the more mesmerized he became.


    She never ceased to surprise him.
