Love Mission: Ex-wife Strikes Back

"Why are you defending Nicole?" Barton asked in confusion. "I think she wants to replace you."

"I can understand that," Zoe said. "You gave me such a high salary for this position. Aside from Nicole, I think the others also want to replace me.

I can't fire all of them just because I'm afraid that they might replace me. Do you want all of them gone?"

Barton frowned. "This is different. Nicole..."

"She is my subordinate." Zoe glared at Barton. "Since you've handed over the secretary department to me, I hope you can let me make this decision by myself. Although Nicole has done something wrong, it is not unforgivable. I think we should give her another chance."

"Fine. It's up to you." Barton nodded in agreement as he saw the resolute expression on Zoe's face. "I'll leave that decision to you, but I don't want

need to explain myself to you, but I can tell you that even if I'm not here, Mr. Xiao will never give you a promotion. At present, he doesn't think that you're capable enough."

"Did you just come here to humiliate me?" Nicole asked with contempt.

"I came here to tell you that from now on, you are nothing but an ordinary clerk. Do your job well. Mr. Xiao's business is not your concern from now on. And you are no longer allowed to enter his office. Do you understand?" Zoe declared coldly.

It might sound like she was guarding against Nicole, but in fact, Zoe was just trying to protect her.

Barton personally had a problem with Nicole. If she met his wrath, she would be fired.

Sadly, Nicole didn't think so. When she heard what Zoe said, she thought that Zoe was preventing her from getting close to Barton.
