Madam Young visibly stiffened.
The managers watching from the sidelines exchanged glances. Some whispered among themselves, shaking their heads.
"This is unacceptable," one muttered.
"The general manager is going to hear about this," another said.
"Poor workplace environment… he's always saying how that shouldn't be tolerated…"
The whispers stung.
Madam Young felt her face grow hot with shame, especially in front of her own staff.
But she still forced out, "I can replace you all in an instant."
Nnenna smiled wider. "And we can find a better place in an instant."
With that, the three girls turned on their heels and walked out.
They didn't run.
They didn't hurry.
They walked proudly, heads high, as if leaving behind something that wasn't even worth their time.
And as they did, they heard it
The employees weren't just whispering anymore.
They were talking.
"She really turned it around on them."
"What a comeback."
"That's what they deserve."
