Ivy quickly collected herself and proceeded to call Priscilla and Grace to her office.She was sincerely hoping that the branch she was managing would be able to share a portion of the burden.After seeing Priscilla and Grace arrive, she suppressed the resentment and anger she felt toward them and smiled. She said, "I believe we all have some misunderstandings between us. I also believe you two have some misunderstandings with Frederick. But I hope we'll be able to resolve our misunderstandings today."Priscilla didn't expect that Ivy would call her and Grace over to the office just to talk about this.So, Priscilla and Ivy exchanged glances as they thought about how Ivy was acting exactly like how they expected her to.Ivy and Frederick were proud of ruining the Miller family. But despite it all, Ivy still had the audacity to say such a thing to them.Weirdly enough, Ivy and Priscilla did not argue with Ivy after hearing her words. Instead, they smiled and said, "Alright, Ms.
Priscilla looked confused. "We won't be the ones doing it?"Grace smiled mysteriously. "Don't worry. I have a plan!"On the other hand, Frederick was heading over to Ivy's office hurriedly after hearing that Ivy wanted to meet him.Ivy was direct as she said, "Frederick, I know there are some grudges among you, Priscilla, and Grace because of your investigation against Mitchell."Frederick froze. He thought Ivy was looking for him due to some other issues, but he never thought it'd be about that matter.He couldn't help but smile. Priscilla and Grace's anger toward him wasn't solely because of this incident. The two of them had formed some sort of hatred toward him out of the blue about two months ago."Don't worry, Ms. Mallin. I'm not afraid of making enemies due to my job."He could only joke around and say something like that as he couldn't explain the history he had with Priscilla.But Ivy was pleased to hear Frederick's words. She said, "I'm glad you're not afraid of makin
On the other end, Priscilla and Grace had returned to Team Two's office. A member of Team Two came over and considerately handed Grace a cup of coffee."Good afternoon, Grace."Grace looked up to see the familiar face before her. His name was Roger Scott if she remembered correctly. He used to be an employee of Miller Corporation, but after the changes within the company, he followed Priscilla to Timbergale Corporation.His sales and capabilities were decent, and he looked like an average male in Jenaire City. If it weren't for the fact Roger had been working alongside her for such a long time, Grace would have forgotten his existence.Grace understood that he wasn't being kind out of the goodness of his heart.In truth, he had been working hard to earn Grace's favor, but Grace had never given him the time of the day.As a gold-digger herself, she could understand and see right through Roger's plan. He wanted to try and seduce her because she was his supervisor. Not to mention,
"But I am confident I will be able to conquer hard liquor in this life. In the end, my great-grandfather and the following few generations ended up with cerebral hemorrhages. "They had sacrificed their lives for their dreams. It's just like when mountain climbers end up falling to their demise, or how divers end up drowning."Roger's eyes shone brightly. It was as if he was talking about something great, despite the topic being about drinking liquor.Priscilla couldn't stand to listen to his words anymore. How could drinking be compared to diving and mountain climbing?He was spewing nothing but nonsense!She was just about to speak up and chase Roger away as she was in a horrible mood. But Grace immediately stopped her when she was about to open her mouth.Priscilla paused. She was confused as to what Grace was doing. If she recalled correctly, Grace would scold Roger often. But why was she treating him differently today?Grace gave Priscilla a look, and Priscilla was even mor
After Roger left, Priscilla asked worriedly. "Frederick is now a capable man. We keep losing to him."Grace smiled, looking victorious. "You've been married to Frederick for three years. Have you ever seen him drink?"Priscilla gave it some thought before shaking her head lightly. In her memories, she'd never seen him drink during their time dating and throughout their marriage. The only exception was during their wedding, and even then, he'd only had a few glasses.Grace smiled in satisfaction. "He doesn't drink because he's a lightweight. And so what if he knows how to handle his alcohol? "Didn't you hear Roger? His family drank to the point that they suffered from cerebral hemorrhages. Even if Frederick can drink, he can't out-drink someone like Roger who drinks his heart out."Priscilla nodded. That was true as Roger didn't seem like he was afraid of the consequences of overdrinking.Roger seemed to be the type to drink his life away. In addition to his family genetics, sh
Seeing tears begin to gather in Olivia's eyes, Frederick was sure that those tears would stream down her cheeks if he remained quiet for another ten seconds.He couldn't stand seeing women crying, especially kind-hearted women like Olivia."Don't cry! I'm not angry at you."Hearing this, Olivia lifted her head aggrievedly and forced her tears back."Mr. York, are you telling the truth?"Frederick nodded in exasperation and patted her head. "Of course, I'm not angry. Since when have I ever gotten angry at you?"Seeing him pat her head, Olivia finally relaxed and a warm feeling spread in her heart.Due to the party being held after they got off work, everyone didn't have much motivation to finish their work. Team Two had even gotten off work in advance.Grace and Priscilla happened to be walking past Frederick's office and just so happened to see Frederick pat Olivia's head.Grace pursed her lips and said, "That scumbag never changed. He's just joined the company, yet he managed
After getting off of work, everyone in the company remained in the office as they waited for Ivy to finish with her tasks, all except Olivia.Although the celebratory party was for Frederick, Melissa seemed much happier than Frederick was.She had even touched up her make-up. She was glowing as a group of girls surrounded her. They were all joking around and calling her "Mrs. Team Leader".However, it was obvious Melissa was happy with the nickname. Otherwise, she wouldn't have purposely dressed up for the occasion either.On the other hand, Priscilla's expression darkened as she heard the crowd in Team Two's office keep teasing Melissa and calling her "Mrs. Team Leader".Grace sneered and said, "He's just a mere team leader, yet he's already appointed someone as his work wife. "If he were to become the CEO of a big company just like how you were before, he would probably find himself a queen or something.""What he likes or who he finds has nothing to do with me."Before Ivy
Marsh did not show his contentment on his face as he didn't want to alert anyone of his plans. He didn't want anyone to suspect him of being the mastermind behind what was about to happen at the party later, so he kept humbling himself and trying to appease Frederick.He pulled out a chair and patted the cushion symbolically before pushing it behind Frederick. "Mr. York, come and sit. You can come to me if you need me to do anything in the future. "I, Marsh Benson, am a capable man who is willing to do anything. I have an unreserved sense of respect toward you, Mr, York, is unending."Melissa's eyes widened and her jaw fell open as she watched Marsh's attitude toward Frederick.Was he still the same man who wanted to fire her and Frederick this morning?They were two completely different people!Marsh had also noticed Melissa and hurried over attentively. "Oh, my. Isn't this Mrs. Team Leader? Why are you carrying your bag yourself? Here, let me help you carry it." Seeing Mar
