One thing Christopher was thankful for was that Lucille had no interest in him at all. She only pestered him to get information about Jonathan, which was a relief. If she'd been interested in him and pestered him because of that, then he'd really want to kill himself and be rid of her. He had no energy to deal with her right now, so he could only say placatingly, "Alright Lucy, I'm busy now. I'll call you back later."However, even though Christopher had explicitly made it clear that he didn't want to talk, Lucille was unrelenting and whined, "Why are you being like this as well? You're the one who told me that I could look for you if I wanted to know more about Jonathan, so why are you acting like this? Jonathan told me that he's busy, and now you're also saying that you're busy. Are the both of you just conspiring against me? I don't care; you have to help me with my problem today!"Christopher really couldn't deal with her anymore. Even though he was visibly irritated with Lucille
Isabelle also knew that the solution she was proposing wasn't an easy one. However, she had to give it a try. She couldn't just stand by and do nothing as her savior's company fell into ruin. Besides, her boss had also been looking quite troubled for the past few days, which worried her."Scar, I know it's not easy, but I can't just give up. This matter is way too important for me to give up on. I don't know what else I can say to persuade you … Will you help me? You told me that you know someone who works in the housekeeping department at that hotel. Could you please ask her to place a hidden camera in the room? Of course, once my plan is successful, I'll reward her well for her efforts too. In fact, I can give her around one million dollars. What do you say, Scarlett?" Isabelle had her mind set on catching the president of Leonard Corporations in the act, and it didn't seem like anything could change her mind anymore.Scarlett did indeed have a good friend, Serena Jenson, who worke
Scarlett was persistent and refused to let others diminish her spirit by bullying her. If Candace wanted her to copy the company rules and regulations by hand, she would gladly do so. After all, there weren't too many rules at this company, and besides, she was new and had to comply with whatever people asked her to do.Furthermore, she already knew that Candice wasn't someone to be trifled with, so she decided to just follow the instructions given to her obediently. Now that she thought about it, what had she ever done to make Candace hate her so much? She wondered what other tricks Candace had up her sleeve once she finished copying the rules.Ultimately, Scarlett worked overtime to finish copying the company rules. When she passed the rule book back to Shirley the next day, she was met with Shirley's hesitant eyes. She looked like she had to tell Scarlett something but couldn't."The exam about the rules is today? But I just finished copying the rules last night!" Scarlett had th
"There's no need to thank me. In fact, I have yet to thank you for helping me out yesterday," Scarlett assured her as she took the test paper with her. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly thought of another question. She turned back to Shirley to ask, "Why is her office on the 21st floor?""The leaders of each department are stationed on the 21st floor. Since Candace is the manager of the HR department, her office is also there," Shirley explained."Oh, I see. Maybe that's why I have yet to meet the owner of the company," Scarlett mumbled to herself as she left the meeting room.Shirley had caught Scarlett's mumbling and frowned. What an odd thing to say! What did she mean by saying that she hadn't met the boss yet? The way she said it sounded as if she didn't know Christopher at all, but she was in his car yesterday; there was no way that she didn't know who the boss was.Shirley thought about it a while longer and came to the conclusion that Scarlett had only said that t
However, she'd had four years of experience in this field, so she quickly composed herself before asking her calmly, "What is the meaning of this?"Scarlett shrugged. "There's no special meaning behind this. I was taught at a young age that it was alright if I didn't know how to do my exams, but I should never cheat or lie. That's why I'm submitting an empty paper."Candace's face turned red at this, and she was momentarily rendered speechless by Scarlett's indifference. She'd indeed claimed that Scarlett had cheated because she was submitting the paper early, so she couldn't say anything in retaliation. That would just mean that she was going back on her own words.She glared frostily at Scarlett. She didn't know what Scarlett was planning. Nevertheless, Candace had to admit that even though she hated Scarlett, the latter was just a university student who had yet to graduate. Besides, she'd done well in the last two days at the company. She could've complained about her mistreatmen
Scarlett found it strange that Luna had brought up Candace in the middle of their conversation. Although it seemed as though she was trying to put in a good word for Candace, the way that she said it was odd. Scarlett couldn't help but feel as though Luna was trying to tell her something, but she couldn't figure out exactly what. In the end, she shook off her suspicions and simply nodded in agreement. After all, Luna was Candace's assistant, so it shouldn't be odd that she was trying to paint her superior in a good light."I'll make sure to look for you if I encounter any problems with work. I'll be returning to my station now," Scarlett told Luna, while the latter nodded. As Scarlett was leaving, she brushed past Luna and heard her whisper under her breath, "Watch out for Candace."Candace watched as Scarlett left the 21st floor and only relaxed after she was sure that the latter had left. Now that Scarlett was gone, she felt as if a weight had been lifted off her shoulders, and she
Shirley snapped out of her thoughts and looked at Scarlett sheepishly before saying, "It's nothing; I was just thinking about how quickly someone from the IT department came in to install your computer."Scarlett shared her confusion. "I was just thinking about the same thing. I'd thought that Candace had just been kidding when she said she'd send someone to install it for me by today. Oh, right, was that man just now from the IT department?" Shirley nodded in response before replying, "Yeah, he is. He installed most of the computers in our department. If you encounter any technical difficulties in the future, you can just give him a call."Scarlett nodded and thought about that man's odd behavior. She blurted out, "I thanked him just now, but he didn't even look at me. It was as if he was ignoring me on purpose … Is he like this with everyone else as well?""Yeah, that's just how he is. He's not good at interacting with others, and he's cold to everyone. Even Candace is no except
Judging by the bright smile that Lucille was flashing Scarlett, any passerby would probably think that they were childhood friends. Scarlett hated it when Lucille was fake like this and said coolly, "I'm busy today. Go find someone else to have dinner with you."Lucille had fully expected Scarlett to reject her. Despite her annoyance, she suppressed her feelings and replied cheerfully, "Scar, we've lived together for four years now. Don't be mean; come have dinner with me. I really want to make things right between the two of us. Besides, even if you don't say yes to me now, I'll wait outside your office every single day until you forgive me."Scarlett had never expected that there would ever come a day when Lucille would swallow her pride and speak to her so nicely. That, paired with Scarlett's inability to refuse anyone who asked her for something nicely, prevented her from outright rejecting Lucille, no matter how much she hated her guts.Besides, Lucille had already said that if
