Until the "line disconnected" prompt sounded in the phone, Teddy Carter finally failed to suppress his emotions and hurled his phone onto the bed with fury.
His initially sorrowful expression gradually revealed a trace of coldness.
In the end, he picked up the phone next to him again and sent out a ssage.
"Alright, I agree to et you."
...
Charlotte Thompson received the ssage while she was drinking coffee in Justin Battleson’s office.
Gazing at the ssage displayed on the screen of her phone, Charlotte’s eyes softened into a ripple of amusent.
"After work, we won’t be leaving together. I’m going to et soone."
Setting the coffee cup aside, Charlotte lifted her gaze toward Justin Battleson, who was walking in her direction.
Upon hearing her words, Justin’s brows twitched as he sat down beside her, curiosity evident in his voice:
"Going to et soone from lissa Tanner’s studio?"
Earlier today, Charlotte had ntioned Zara Ward to Justin, so he instinctively assud the person Charlotte was going to et could only be her.
But Charlotte shook her head. "I’m eting Teddy Carter."
"Teddy Carter?"
This na was far from unfamiliar to Justin. "What are you eting him for?"
"He’s been fired from the company," Charlotte replied.
Currently, Justin was pretending to be severely suppressed in front of the board of directors, so he wasn’t necessarily aware of such matters like employees getting fired.
As Charlotte uttered these words, Justin’s face revealed slight confusion—but he quickly pieced things together.
"Sothing to do with George Robbins?"
Charlotte thought for a mont. Although she felt her next words might be sowhat inappropriate, she still chose to speak them: "Yeah, sort of. To put it simply, George Robbins made him wear the green hat."
However, upon hearing this, Justin’s brows furrowed deeply.
Charlotte went on to share with Justin all the things she had overheard outside the office.
"Now, for Florienna Ellis, Teddy Carter holds no remaining value. And I’ve discovered another interesting detail."
Charlotte rested her chin on her hand, her fingertip idly tapping against her cheek.
"In the newly opened online store by Florienna Ellis, aside from the collaboration designs between my work and the Worsen brand, the best-selling clothing pieces... there are issues with them too."
Charlotte certainly understood that Justin wasn’t interested in dealings involving Florienna, so she didn’t bother pulling out her phone to show the web interface—she simply explained it to him.
"I’m familiar enough with Teddy Carter’s design style to confidently say that the clothes in question are absolutely his creations."
Of course, Charlotte casually ntioned it, without much emphasis.
She could tell Teddy Carter genuinely liked Florienna. Offering his artistic designs to her wasn’t beyond what Teddy might willingly do.
"Teddy Carter was the first to take sides and support Florienna after she voiced her stance. If soone like him suddenly turned against her, it would undoubtedly cause an uproar."
Moreover, Teddy Carter had sacrificed his job for Florienna, only to receive such a humiliating betrayal in return. Even if Teddy wasn’t an ordinary man, enduring such a thing wouldn’t be easy.
While Charlotte felt a sliver of sympathy for Teddy in her heart, she ultimately didn’t see him as pitiful.
After all, Teddy Carter had previously given Florienna special treatnt, enabling her to parachute into the company—a deed no decent person would have done.
On top of the matter with Elijah Walker and the collaboration with XTZ, Teddy being used and then coldly betrayed by Florienna counts as a fitting case of karma, doesn’t it?
