The room first fell silent before the double meaning of her words sank in.
The MD's assistant was the first to grit his teeth in annoyance, "You—what do you mean by that? Since when can women not hold such important positions? Not everyone will die being a janitor like you!"
The impostor also straightened up, exhaling silently in relief after hearing the rest of Amber's sentence.
For a moment, she almost thought this janitor had seen through her, so she was elated to know she was just being bitter.
Relieved, she turned her eyes to the assistant and mummed, "James, this janitor clearly lacks manners. Have HR relieve her of her duties."
"Of course, ma'am." James Grates nodded vigorously and hurried to the side to make the call.
As he did, Amber turned her wrist to check the time on her watch.
She succeeded this time in stalling for a few minutes, but this impostor would definitely find an excuse to leave again soon.
