Legal Question in Employment Law in California

I was employed by 2 companies under the same owner. I was terminated for allegedly dating an insubordinate employee. The ultimate decision to let me go was for "disregarding management directive". I was told not to do anything that would make other employees believe the rumor was true. Because I sat down with this employee's mother on my break, I was fired. I knew this employee's mother because we had both worked for the same company prior to this employer. The issue is, this said employee was working only at job 1. However, I was fired from both companies, job 1 and job 2. Is this a legitimate reason for termination of job 2??

California is an at will state as t employment, unless you have an employment agreement, so an employer does not need a reason to fire you.
