A Love Trap Chapter 796 I Couldn't Believe It

The director who was still talking thought he had come up with the best solution.

However, when he heard the words that came from Chloe's mouth, he was shocked. He was frozen on
the spot. He stood there and stared at her as if he had not expected that she would say such words.

Chloe looked at the director with a smile, but there was no pleasantness in her eyes.

The director did not doubt at all that Chloe was a woman of her word. If he needed to sacrifice either
Sarah or himself, of course he would choose to sacrifice Sarah.

He would not get fired just because of Sarah. The price was too high.

The director instantly fell silent.

Chloe looked around and said, "Very well. I guess none of you will object now if I fire her, right? After
all, you've already agreed to it."

The senior directors did not dare disagree anymore.

They were not fine with this, but could they say anything without getting themselves in trouble? Of
course not. They decided not to speak anymore.

They were all afraid that Chloe would fire them if they upset her any further. She was not kidding about
firing anyone she disliked at all.

The next moment, a senior director came up with an idea as he looked at Derrick sitting next to Chloe.

Derrick was in charge of the company before Chloe came in.

But now that Chloe was the boss, everything would be decided by her. Derrick could no longer make
any decisions.



Although Chloe was the president and Derrick was the vice president and she did not have to report
anything to him, he still had been in charge of the entire company before she arrived.

The directors did not believe that Derrick would have no complaints and that he would be willing to
obey Chloe no matter what.

One of the senior directors said, "Derrick hasn't said anything yet, has he? Shouldn't we listen to his
thoughts before making the decision?"

Chloe cast a glance at the director who was suggesting it and then turned to look at Derrick.

"All right. I agree that it's only appropriate to hear Derrick out regarding this issue. Please tell us what
you think, Derrick," Chloe said.

All of a sudden, all the senior directors focused their attention on Derrick.

At this point, Derrick could be their savior.

Even Sarah turned her head to look at Derrick.

Her heart was still racing. She was scared almost out of her wits.

Derrick flashed everyone a kind smile. He did not say anything. Instead, he beckoned for his assistant
who was standing behind him to come closer and whispered to her ear.

The next moment, Derrick's assistant pulled up a couple of files and set them in front of everyone in the
room. Obviously, Derrick wanted to show them the files as his visual aid for his say on the matter at
hand.

"Since you can't decide whether to fire Sarah or not even if you think that she has contributed a lot to
the company, then I think you need to take a look at these files first."



Although it sounded ridiculous, the reason that they wanted to keep Sarah was for the interest of the
entire company.

Sarah knew that very well. However, she was a little worried deep inside and knew that whatever was
in those files was her only hope to stay in the company.

She had no idea why the new CEO of the company wanted to get rid of her, but she was sure that she
would have a hard time if she left the company. She did not have to ask why because it was just
instinct between women.

Women had good intuition.

Sometimes, they even did a better job than detectives.

The directors failed to figure out what Derrick was going to do.

As soon as Derrick's assistant placed all the files in front of them, they began to look through the
pages.

These were all design drawings. Even though the directors were not designers, they could easily tell
that the drawings were horrible. They were messy and definitely done by someone without any sort of
artistic skills.

Even people like them could tell that the drawings were horrible, especially if done by a designer.

They could even be considered design crimes in the eyes of a real designer.

For a moment, the directors looked at Derrick and wondered what he was up to. One of them asked,
"Why are you showing us these horrible drawings, Derrick? What's your point?"



Derrick smiled, looked at the senior director, and said, "Didn't you say that Sarah had contributed a lot
to the company? And that you want her to stay in the company? But look at the design drawings in your
hands. Do you think a designer with that kind of work should stay in the company?"

The directors looked at one another. They were totally confused by Derrick's little show with the ugly
design drawings. What did this have to do with Sarah's imminent termination?

Even Chloe was puzzled. She squinted at Derrick.

She did not understand what Derrick was trying to do.

Feeling Chloe's eyes on him, Derrick looked at her and gave her a comforting look as if telling her that
he was on her side.

'I don't care whose side you're on. I will still fire Sarah, ' Chloe thought.

"Why should we let a designer who does horrible work stay in our company? Our company is not a
charity. Even we can tell that these design drawings are rubbish. I'm sure real designers will have the
same opinion. Who drew these anyway?"

One of the directors stated his opinion on the drawings in an irritated tone.

When Sarah heard that they were talking about some design drawings, she was surprised and turned
to take a look at the said drawings.

Fortunately, she was not too far away from where they were seated. She could see the design
drawings on the table easily.

When she looked at the drawings, she could only stare in horror and disbelief.

Where did they find those things? Had she not destroyed all those drawings?



What were they doing on the table?

Oh, no! Those things were not hers! She did not draw those! She didn't draw them.

Sarah forced herself not to look at the drawings. She silently comforted herself and told herself that the
drawings were not hers. She desperately hoped that they would not figure out the truth.

However, deep in her heart, she knew it was all just a lie.

Although she kept telling herself that the drawings were not hers and that they would not find out the
truth, she could not help feeling a lot of fear in her heart.

"Since you all think that such a designer shouldn't be allowed to stay in the company, why don't you just
agree to Chloe's decision and fire Sarah? Or do you still want to keep her here after seeing the
drawings?"

Derrick spoke lightly.

Although Derrick looked very friendly with a smile on his face all the time, people here all knew that
Derrick was not as gentle as he looked.

What did he mean by that?
