In that moment , my blood was absolutely boiling . Stellar Group was one of the companies I'd applied to . The only reason I applied there was because Leo got a job there after graduation . But Leo never told me he had referral spots available . I immediately demanded , " Sage , you got into Stellar ? " Before Sage could even answer , Leo jumped in to explain . " Maya , don't be so dramatic about this . I wanted you to toughen up and do it yourself , that's why I didn't hook you up with the referral . But Sage ? She's in my club , so of course I'm gonna look out for her first . " Pure rage shot straight to my head . Sage nodded and said , " Maya , I know you're upset about failing your interview , but we're roommates . I hope you can genuinely be happy for me and we can clear up this misunderstanding between us . " Then Sage handed me a drink . But I couldn't stand her fake - ass act anymore and shoved the glass away . barely used any force , but Sage somehow fell back into her chair , spilling wine all over her clothes . Leo immediately took off his suit jacket and carefully draped it over Sage's shoulders , then scolded me . " Maya , what the hell are you doing ? Once you get into the real world , you'll face way worse setbacks than this . If you're gonna take out your anger on other people over something this small , how are you ever gonna survive out there ? " Sage quickly said , " Leo , don't be mad at Maya . She's already in a bad mood from failing her interview . It's my fault for adding fuel to the fire . You should go comfort Maya . " But as she said this , she clutched Leo's jacket even tighter . At this point I wasn't gonna give Sage any face whatsoever . I said coldly , " Sage Campbell , isn't the direct reason I failed my interview because of YOU ? If you hadn't deliberately switched out my resume , how would I have failed ? And now you have the nerve to sit here playing innocent ? Right now , immediately , apologize to me ! " Seeing how serious I'd gotten , Sage went pale with fear . She shrank behind Leo , barely daring to breathe . " Leo Stark , get out of my way ! " I said each word deliberately . " Get this straight - I'M your girlfriend ! " Leo patted my shoulder and said , " Maya , so this is what you're mad about ? " I was stunned . 10.31 Union When You OWN the Company ? Honey You Are FIRED ! 17.6 % Chapter 2 Wait , did Leo already know about this ? One of the other club members spoke up . " Maya , we all owe you an apology for this . " Leo paused , then slowly said , " During our club retreat , we were playing truth or dare , and Sage lost . I actually came up with this stupid idea . It was just supposed to be a harmless prank . Maya , I had no idea it would turn out like this . If you're gonna blame anyone , blame me . " I stared at Leo with complete disbelief . Leo added , " Come on , Sage is just a girl too . Why can't you girls just get along instead of tearing each other down ? " Ha . I laughed coldly . " Fine then . I'll sue Sage Campbell according to the law , and you can take the blame for her too . Oh wait , in your case , this would be considered incitement to commit a crime , making you an accessory . Don't worry , neither you nor Sage is getting away with this . " Leo didn't expect me to get this serious and was completely speechless . Sage panicked too . She quickly said , " Maya , how can you be so aggressive ? I haven't even graduated college yet , and you want to give me a criminal record ? That would ruin the rest of my life ! " Chapter 3
