Showed My Boss by Starting My Company

I was stunned. I could not believe my ears. "Miss Kayden, I was the one who was slapped for no good reason!"

"So what?" Tina frowned. It was ridiculous how indignant she was acting. "You knew how sensitive and insecure Eugene can be. Why didn't you reply him in time? This is a reflection of your failure to do your job! I didn't instruct you to delete him from your contacts. Why would you delete him?"

If Kent was not present, I would have flung the documents in my hand onto both their faces.

I tried my best to suppress my anger and immediately displayed my phone's screen on the big screen. The screen was filled with hundreds of messages from Eugene with ridiculous orders. From checking my location to instructing how I should dress. They also contained requests from him for me to remind Tina to say loving words to him.

Eugene turned silent, and he tried to look away. Tina was also stunned by the screen filled with messages.

"Tell me, Miss Kayden." My voice was cold, but it filled the room clearly. "Do you mean to tell me that I should turn my back on millions worth in contract just to cheer up your boyfriend?" I paused and followed up with another question, "Are you his girlfriend, or am I, his girlfriend?"

Tina's face flushed red, and she started to change the topic. "Watch your tone with me, Andrew! How dare you speak to me that way? Do you still want your job?"

She started to spout nonsense indignantly. "The contract might be important, but Eugene is even more important to me! You're a senior member of this company and my right-hand man. Isn't it your job to take care of the company and my personal life?"

I had no idea what to say. It was pointless to argue with those who were unreasonable.

When Eugene saw that Tina's attention was not focused on him, he started to create more drama. He pulled on Tina's hand and said in a sobbing voice, "Stop it, Tina… I know Mr. Sanders doesn't like me. He might have been interested in you for a long time and became jealous that we're together, which is why he's been mean to me…"

He started heading out the door as he spoke in an incredibly sad manner. "I'll leave! I know no one cares about what I think if I continue staying here…"

Eugene cried and ran out of the meeting room after that. Tina did not even look at me, nor did she bother about Kent, who was still present, and ran out after him.

The meeting room was left with only me, Kent, and his secretary. Kent looked particularly irritated. He laughed coldly and said sarcastically, "I had no idea Miss Kayden thinks her boyfriend is more important than a million-dollar contract. Is this the sincerity your company is showing me?"

His attitude had turned cold, and he was no longer showing any friendliness. "We need to re-evaluate your company's ability. That's all for today. You should leave."

A wave of helplessness came over me. I was the only one who understood the feeling, as I had spent multiple sleepless nights modifying the proposal in order to push for this to happen. I ran through the details many times and even sent plenty of gifts customized for Kent in order to build a more personal connection between us.

All of my hard work had been destroyed because of a boss who was busy being in love and her boyfriend, who was a complete control freak.

A cold look appeared in my eyes. If Tina did not know how to act appropriately, there was no blaming me next.

As Kent was about to leave, I quickly called out, "Please wait, Mr. Charleston!" He turned to look at me questioningly as I took a deep breath to take out another set of documents from my bag. I handed it to him.

"Please take a look at this contract, Mr. Charleston. You can decide later if you want to continue working together."
