“Mr. Kowalski, I’m begging you. I can’t lose this job. I promise that I won’t cause any trouble after this.” Tori blocked Atticus’ way out. “Tori, I’ve made myself perfectly clear about this. If you keep pestering me, I’ll fire you effective immediately, Atticus snapped angrily.
However, Tori was willing to do anything to save her job as she suddenly dropped to her knees in front of Atticus and said humbly, “Mr. Kowalski, I’m begging you. I can do anything. you say. Please let me continue my work here.”
She really needed this job. If she lost her job here, it would spell the end of her career in the industry because none of the other TV stations. would accept her. Hence, she could only try any means necessary to keep this job.
Just then, an assistant opened the door to deliver a document and caught her kneeling on the floor. The assistant jumped in surprise at the sight, and Tori hurriedly sprang to her feet to protect her reputation. She even shot al furious look at the poor assistant. ‘Mr. Kowalski, the car is ready. Are you leaving now?” the assistant inquired professionally, smart enough to read the room.
Atticus immediately took the opportunity to open the door and walk out. Unfortunately, Tori followed closely behind like a piece of gum and grabbed his arm. “Don’t go, Mr. Kowalski- The doors of the elevator slid open and Ivanka came out. The instant she caught sight of Tori holding her husband so intimately, she lost her temper, lunged forward, and slapped Tori harshly across the face.
Slap! The sound was so loud that everyone around came over to check out the situation, and they seemed to be enjoying the show when they saw that it was Tori at the receiving end of the blow. So, Tori had such a day coming for her, too!
“Tori Alford, haven’t you done enough harm to my sister? Are you trying to snatch my husband as well? You b*tch, I’m going to kill you!” Ivanka showed the masses just how shrewd she could truly be as she ruthlessly grabbed Tori’s hair, pushed her to the floor, took off her own shoe, and used it as a tool to hit her.
“Ah!” Tori held her head as she had never encountered such a situation before. Since she had no experience in this, all she could do was scream while protecting her head.
Still, none of the employees nearby bothered to help. Instead, they were watching on the sidelines as she received a beating. Some even went as far as to record it.
Tori picked up her handbag and took an elevator as well. By now, she was aware that her career was over. Not long afterward, someone uploaded the video of Tori receiving a beating on the Internet, causing a heated round of discussion in an instant.
The one who uploaded the video was an assistant whom Tori had bullied in the past. The assistant had nursed a grudge of rather massive proportions due to Tori’s abuse. So, there was no way she would let go of this golden opportunity when she finally had the chance to get back at Tori, her bully.
On the Internet, rumors of Tori being a sugar baby were leaked out once more and her reputation took yet another massive hit, causing it to drop straight to the dumps. The top searches of major websites were dominated by Katrina and Tori. Not only do they have to endure public criticism, but someone deliberately exposed Tori’s dirty past. A wealthy woman even told a story using her real name, claiming that Tori seduced her husband and used sex as a means to get to her current position.
All this bad press completely distorted Tori’s fans’ opinions about her, and she no longer had a future. She could continue living in reality, but. she had lost her favorite job. Even if she was overqualified, no company would accept someone like her with open arms any longer.
