"Since when did Jenny belong to his wife?" he thought to himself. "Clearly, it should be me!"Shane raised his eyes, his cold gaze sweeping over the employees in the meeting room. He mouthed the words, "Meeting adjourned!"The employees, catching his icy glare, shivered and quickly scattered. They suspected he wanted to say "Get out!" instead of "Meeting adjourned."Sensing that the meeting was over, everyone promptly left, leaving Shane alone in the room."What did Henry do?" he asked.Haley angrily relayed everything Jenny had told her. "I know their interviews are strict, but this is too much. Is he bullying our Jenny because she doesn’t have anyone to protect her?"Shane listened quietly, his irritation growing with each word.My Jenny. Our Jenny. He had never heard such terms of endearment from Haley, and now Jenny had gotten there first. Jenny, huh? He’d remember her.Jenny, preparing to send her resume to the next company, suddenly sneezed. She rubbed her nose and turn
Just thinking about Jenny made Henry furious! He had never met a woman as infuriating as Jenny. She drove him crazy!"What happened between you two?" Shane asked, puzzled."I..." Henry stammered, unable to find the words. He could not very well say that he had been inexplicably slept with, only for her to run off and get together with another man. That would be too embarrassing!"In short, Jenny and I are mortal enemies. I will never forgive her for as long as I live!" he declared.Shane fell silent, leaning back in his leather office chair, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the armrest, lost in thought. Henry was feeling guilty and worried that Shane might ask more questions. Afraid that it would ruin his reputation, he quickly said, "Don't worry, I've already instructed HR to hire Jenny," and then hung up the phone before Shane could respond. It was clear he was feeling guilty.Shane stared at his phone screen for a long time before finally shaking his head with a sigh. He
"Mr. Ford!"Upon hearing the familiar voice, Shane's back stiffened for a moment. He quickly released his grip on William's collar. He straightened his slightly disheveled suit, and shot William a cold, warning glance.William adjusted his own clothes and laughed. "It's nothing, we were just sparring."Haley glanced at William, then took Shane by the hand and led him into the office. The design department director frowned and couldn't help but ask, "William, be honest with me, do you have a thing for Miss Haley?"William was taken aback, then chuckled softly. He did not give a direct answer, which the director took as confirmation.Sighing, the director patted William's shoulder and advised, "William, I know you young folks believe in fighting for love, but Miss Haley is married. You need to keep it professional at work."William nodded. "Don't worry, Director. I know what to do."The director finally looked satisfied.In the office, as soon as the door closed, Shane pulled Hal
Seeing Shane's jealous expression, Haley felt a mix of exasperation and amusement. She grabbed his hand and gently shook it, saying coquettishly, "Hubby, of course, you are the one I care about the most!"Shane's hand was large and dry, with a slight callus at the knuckles, a stark contrast to Haley's soft and delicate hands. The tender touch in his palm, combined with Haley's sweet, soft voice, struck a chord in Shane's heart. Even the hardest of hearts would melt in such a moment.He was completely captivated, forgetting any anger he felt. "Alright, I'll let it slide this time," he said, lifting his chin in a gesture of reluctant satisfaction.Having been together for so long, Haley knew him too well. The more calm and composed he appeared on the outside, the more tumultuous his emotions were inside. He was probably secretly delighted.But she did not call him out on it. "Mr. Ford, quickly tell me, what did Henry say? Is he deliberately targeting Jenny?""We'll talk about that l
"Did I just interrupt something between Mr. Ford and Miss Haley? Will I even keep my job after this?" Sue muttered to herself.Haley returned to her desk, noticing Sue's complex gaze shifting between her and Shane, making her uneasy. She cleared her throat and asked, "Sue, do you have something to report?"Sue snapped out of her thoughts and quickly handed over the documents. "Miss Haley, there's an urgent file that needs your review."Haley nodded, quickly scanning the document. "The file looks fine, but we can negotiate the price a bit lower. The quality of the fabric from this company is good, so we can continue working with them."Sue nodded, taking back the file. "I won't disturb you any longer. You two, carry on, carry on..." She quickly walked out in her high heels, not giving Haley a chance to explain.Haley sighed, rubbing her forehead. "Has my image with the staff completely collapsed?"Shane, on the other hand, seemed unbothered and even chuckled. "Your secretary is qu
The two friends chatted on the phone for a long time, covering everything from work to their next shopping trip and new restaurants to try. They talked about everything under the sun, completely ignoring Shane, the legitimate husband, who was right there.As time went by, Shane's expression grew darker, and the atmosphere in the office became increasingly tense, like a storm brewing. However, the cause of this tension remained blissfully unaware, happily sharing company gossip with her best friend.It wasn't until a loud, disapproving cough broke the conversation that Haley finally looked up, puzzled, at Shane.Feeling suffocated with frustration, Shane wanted to scold her for being so thoughtless. But as soon as he met her clear, innocent eyes, all his anger melted away. He sighed, poured her a glass of warm water, and handed it to her, worried that she might get a sore throat from talking too long.Haley was in the middle of a delightful conversation with Jenny when a hand holdin
Having said this, she took Shane's hand and left the company. Sue stood there, staring at Haley's back for a while, a conflicted look in her eyes. But the feeling came and went quickly, and she soon returned to her usual self....The next afternoon, after finishing a meeting, Haley took Sue to the Saint Doria Hotel to meet a client. This was her first time meeting clients since taking on her new role. The client was a supplier who had been working with JY for over a decade, providing fabrics. Under Joe's mismanagement, many suppliers had expressed dissatisfaction and considered ending their contracts. But recently, they had started reaching out again, wanting to renew their agreements. Haley wanted to find out what was going on.Sue, carrying the files and following closely behind in her high heels, asked, "Miss Haley, we've already decided to go with another supplier. Why are we attending this dinner?""To teach them a lesson. Otherwise, they'll think JY is still the weak com
Haley walked into the private room and, in front of the gathered executives, casually found a seat and poured herself a drink. The executives exchanged puzzled looks, unsure of her intentions."Please, sit down," Haley said with a slight smile, her slender, fair fingers gently swirling the glass of wine. Her relaxed and elegant demeanor captivated everyone's attention. "After all, I'm the junior here. It wouldn't be right for you all to stand while I sit."The men's eyes gleamed with increased greed and lust. "Shane certainly knows how to enjoy life," they thought. "A top-tier beauty like her is incredibly rare. I wonder how skilled she is in bed..."Each of them began to silently form their own plans.They had done their homework before coming here and knew that JY had not finalized a new supplier yet. Haley must be seeking their continued cooperation. They did not really care who they partnered with, but they figured she would have to pay a price.Sue stood behind Haley, noticin
