"Hello, Waverly, this is the Ministry of External Affairs. I'm sorry, but you still haven't come in for work today and you've applied for quite a handful of leaves. The president of A Country will be visiting our country soon, so our secretary wants you to be here to help out for the welcoming ceremony," the caller informed. Waverly frowned. She was the woman who had cheated on the president of A Country. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for her to participate in the welcoming ceremony? Was it Joseph or the king who had come up with this? What were their intentions? "I have something to do in the morning, so can I come over in the afternoon?" Waverly asked. "Sure, then I'll see you in the afternoon," the caller said before hanging up. As she was still pondering about the motives behind the call, her phone rang once again. When she saw that it was Bellamy who was requesting for a video call, she answered immediately. "Waverly!" Bellamy called
"Madam, you look stunning," Hayley cooed. "There's always someone out there who's prettier than I am. I'm just average," Waverly said. Then, she walked into a perfume store and bought a jasmine and bamboo scent infused perfume. The jasmine smelled sweet, while the bamboo gave off a musky scent. The jasmine was pleasant to the nose, uplifting one's mood. Whereas the bamboo's muskiness could help one calm down. Apart from that, she also bought a few formal suits. To match with her straight, dark hair, she chose to wear a peach suit. She had never worn this kind of suit before. Looking at her reflection, she thought she looked 36 years old instead of 26. She had never felt so young before. By the time she was done shopping, it was already one in the afternoon. "Hayley, let's find something to eat. I need to head over to the Ministry of External Affairs later," Waverly said. "Okay, but if you're in a rush, we can head over t
Waverly ignored her and walked toward the first conference room. She saw that there were already a few people waiting inside. She knocked on the door of the room. "Come in," a sweet voice said. Waverly pushed the door open and stepped in. There were two women and three men inside. One of the women looked at Waverly with a smile and introduced herself respectfully, "I'm Sasa. This is Yasmine Filthy, who's in charge of diplomatic affairs." The name 'Yasmine Filthy' suddenly flashed across her mind. Subconsciously, Waverly's eyes turned towards Yasmine. This woman was Joseph's fiancée and Madam Lenny's daughter. Her makeup was exquisite and she gave off an elegant and serene air. Her entire outfit from head to toe consisted of designer brands. She felt as mature as any grown woman, yet as youthful and cocky as a young girl. Her cold eyes swept across Waverly's face as she said rudely, "All of us had to wait just for you. Don't take your own
"How dare you offend your superior!" Yasmine was furious. Waverly maintained the smile on her face, "If I'm your subordinate, then may I ask, who are your superiors?" "The country and our citizens." "So, in your eyes, the king is not your leader? Is he not above you?" Waverly shot back. It was then that Yasmine realized that she had fallen into Waverly's trap. If she said yes, that would mean her disobeying Mr. Harington's order was her offending her superiors. If she said 'no' and her actions reached the king, she would be committing treason. "You're sharp-tongued, I'll give you that. Of course, you'd be the best at playing tricks." Yasmine said sarcastically. "I'm not playing tricks. If I were any good at that, I would still be with the President. As for being sharp-tongued, shouldn't someone working in the Ministry of External Affairs possess such a trait?" Waverly said graciously. Yasmine was so furious that she grabbed a pen of
Madam Lenny observed Waverly, "Actually, I've heard about you. I've also seen your interviews on TV. If Yasmine was half as outstanding as you, I'd be relieved." "Miss Filthy is innately domineering. That quality of hers isn't something that anybody can learn. It takes deterrence to be a leader. She also takes responsibility for her actions. She will have marvelous achievements in the future," Waverly said with a smile. "You're quite generous and you're able to handle things with ease. You have a lot of merits that others don't have. You're also quite reasonable when you solve things. There's an upcoming exam for diplomats this May. You should sign up. If you pass the exam, you can work for me from then on," Madam Lenny said. "It would be my pleasure to be able to learn from you." "The feeling is mutual. You can leave now. Be sure to help Yasmine out in the near future." "Okay," Waverly nodded and said softly. "Then, I'll take my leave." Madam
"Do you understand what you need to do?" Cynthia asked. Waverly shook her head, "The information here only states the ingredients necessary for biopharmaceuticals, as well as their medical effects. There's nothing else. I've never learnt how to make biopharmaceuticals, so I don't quite understand what's going on. What does Madam Lenny want me to do?" Cynthia sneered, "You're not as smart as they say after all. Telling you the ingredients of biopharmaceutical is so that you can go shopping for them. You've just come to the Ministry of External Affairs, so you're a new face. If you're the one who's buying the ingredients, no one would be suspicious." Waverly smiled. Although she was indeed a newcomer to the Ministry of External Affairs, she was definitely not a new face. She was afraid that there would be paparazzi following her because of her previous status. She said, "I understand now. Is it okay for me to speak to Madam Lenny about the details?" "Madam L
Joseph passed by the window and continued to move forward. "Stop daydreaming. He seems to be in a relationship with Miss Filthy. She has just returned from abroad. He's probably here to pick Miss Filthy up after work," Judie stretched her neck and looked outside. Waverly turned her attention back to her book and looked at it indifferently. She picked up her mobile phone and dialed Joseph's number. He did not pick up. The corners of her lips curled into a scornful smile. Was he worried that his legitimate girlfriend would be wary of her? She dialed his number once again. Consequently, her phone number was blocked by Joseph. His blocking her was within her expectations. It would be pleasant if he no longer came and bothered her anymore. It was five o'clock in the evening, time to get off work. She picked up her bag and got ready to punch out. "Waverly, why are you getting off work so early?" Judie asked in a precarious tone. "Do
Waverly waved her hand and a taxi stopped in front of her. She opened the door of the taxi and smiled at Joseph, wearing the expression that he had when he laughed at her, which was filled with irony. She got in the taxi and said to the driver, "To the Mccarthy Mansion." Joseph's smile disappeared upon seeing Waverly leave. His eyebrows became furrowed again. He had not been satiated. Yasmine couldn't understand the situation, "She left just like that. Does she not want the car anymore? What does she mean by that?" Yadriel came over. Joseph rolled down the window and looked at the taxi in front of him. Then, he ordered Yadriel, "Handle this." "Alright," Yadriel replied. Yasmine looked at Joseph as his expression had darkened. "Are you going to crash the taxi too?" she asked. He pursed his lips and did not answer. He hit Waverly's car because he clearly knew the durability of the car. Even if Waverly's car got hit,
