Evelyn glanced at the caller ID and saw it was an internal call from the CEO's office.

She took a deep breath to compose herself and answered the phone with feigned sweetness. "Hello, Mr. Blakely."

"Evelyn, step into my office," Tyrone requested in a cold tone.

"Sure."

Evelyn scrutinized her reflection in a handheld mirror, brushing her hair back in an attempt to compose herself. She believed, possibly, Tyrone was oblivious to her role in the drugging incident.

She stood up and walked towards the CEO's office.

Claudia knocked twice on the door before gently pushing it open and stepping into the office. Standing before the desk, she asked, "Mr Blakely, what can I do for you?"

Tyrone looked at her, picking up a piece of paper and placing it before her. “Your reassignment notice. I plan to relocate you to the branch company. What do you think?"

Although he inquired about Evelyn's opinion, he didn't actually offer her any real choice.

Evelyn's expression froze in astonishment. She stared at Tyrone, unable to believe what she just heard. "Why? Why did you suddenly transfer me away?"

It was acceptable for Evelyn to have feelings for him. Tyrone could tolerate an employee who had a Liking for him, but there was no place for an employee who had drugged him.

Tyrone leaned back in his chair, clasping his fingers on the table. "I won't elaborate much. If you're uncomfortable with it, I can arrange a transfer to a different department."

The headquarters roles were sought after, leaving no room for transfer within. Her alternative was a downgrade, while she could retain her current title at the branch, real influence would evade her.

He knew the truth.

Evelyn's face turned pale. "I don't know what you are talking about."

He raised his gaze to her, gesturing towards the papers. "This reassignment takes effect next week. Prepare your tasks for handover within this week."

She realized feigning innocence was futile.

"I'm begging you for another chance. I acted irrationally back then. I promise it won't happen again," Evelyn pleaded earnestly.

"Leave," Tyrone instructed in an unwavering voice.

Evelyn's lips trembled as she collected the document and turned to exit.
