Chapter 32

Amira dialed Summer's number, her hand trembling with anger and frustration. As soon as Summer answered, Amira blurted out the news. "Summer, it's Amira. I just got out of a meeting with Aiden. He suspended me from the company!"

There was a pause on the other end of the line before Summer responded, her voice laced with shock and disbelief. "What? That can't be right! What happened?"

Amira took a deep breath, trying to calm down. "He claims I've been 'underperforming' and that my 'attitude' has been a problem. But we both know that's not true. He's been gunning for me since I spoke up against his precious wife. I think Marina has a hand in all of this."

Summer's voice was fierce. "That's ridiculous! You're one of the hardest workers I know. We'll get to the bottom of this, Amira. I'll talk to HR and see what's going on."

Amira felt a surge of gratitude towards Summer. "Thanks, Summer. Just knowing you're on my side makes me feel better. I'll keep you posted on what happens next."
