Mine! No Objections Allowed (Mikhaiah Adaptation)

Chapter 60 : A Lot Of Equipment

Toni had just reached the hotel with JL when she found out about the expose. She hadn't finished taking off her clothes when she received a call from her husband.

"Where are you?"

Toni stroked JL's head. "Where else, in the office discussing—"

Ding dong!

The doorbell rang ominously.

She heard her husband on the phone say darkly, "Open the door."

What followed was a mess worthy of a TV production. JL was beaten up until he was running around the house, while Toni screamed her heart and soul out. It was only after everything had ended, that she learnt of what had happened online.

She basically escaped back to the office. She was a top-tier level agent for the company, so the company wouldn't let her go. It's just a small deal, she's not a celebrity, it's not too hard to deal with, she thought.

However, she didn't expect to receive a retrenchment notice when she reached the office.

Her hair was a mess while her eyes widened and said disbelievingly, "Our contract has yet to expire and I haven't done anything wrong, you can't fire me."

The director was an old man. He looked down at his file, not at the person in front. "What you have been doing, everyone is aware of! I've turned a blind eye but this scandal is just too much! I can't keep protecting you anymore, go find work somewhere else!"

Toni knew that a gentle approach wouldn't work and said, harshly, "If you dare fire me, I'll take all my celebrities and leave your company."

She had long since intended to start her own agency, but previously she was tied down by the contract. Besides, the current situation was not good for her, if she was suddenly fired it was basically an acknowledgement of what was exposed online.

"Leave?" The boss wasn't angered, instead, he was laughing. "Sure, you go and ask, with the reputation you have now, who would dare go with you! From the moment your scandal was exposed up until now, how many of your talents have contacted and sympathized with you?! None, right?" The boss couldn't stop raising his voice.

"Do you even know that the video of your husband going to the hotel to catch you in the act has already been shared online? It's on the trending list for god sakes!" He added angrily.

It was as if lightning had struck Toni. "What are you saying?!"

"See it for yourself! JL's production company has already gotten ready to dissolve the contract. Because of how long you've worked in this company, I won't even ask you to pay the fine for violating the contract. You should've known better. Go and clear out your office."

Toni left in a daze. Right then she received a call from JL.

His voice was filled with anxiety, like a startled deer. "Ate, have you seen the news online?"

"Yeah."

"Then what should I do?" He said softly, "Can I still film that show?"

"Film?" Toni laughed. "You'd be lucky to even be allowed to enter the set."

"Wait, Ate, you're not going to take care of me anymore?"

Toni found it annoying and hung up. It was clear who caused this chaos. Her chat with Aiah was still online. She turned around, doing her best to ignore the disdainful gazes around her and strode out of the office.
