Judith left Jessamine's office and returned to her desk. Her computer's WhatsApp indicated there were more and more incoming messages.She opened it and saw that countless people had tagged her."@Judith, what happened in the office? Mr. Holt has a lipstick smudge on his lips, and it's the same shade as Jacinda's.""@Judith, is Mr. Langston out of the picture now? Can you give us some inside scoop? Good friends should share the gossip. Don't keep it all to yourself.""Oh my gosh! Do we even need to ask? It's confirmed, everyone. Jacinda and Mr. Holt are definitely together.""@Judith, where are you? Please respond quickly!"…Judith quickly skimmed the messages and closed the app, ignoring everyone. She didn't dare to speak recklessly anymore. She was saving next month's salary to buy a bag.Inside the office, Jessamine waited for Judith to leave. Then, she immediately sent a message to Thaddeus: "You should wipe your mouth."Thaddeus headed back to his office straightaway a
Before Lennon came over, he had done a thorough investigation on Thaddeus. He thought that this prominent person would be difficult to deal with, but in reality he was very approachable and didn't put on any airs as the CEO of a big company.Moreover, he wasn't as uninterested in women as the internet made him out to be. There was clearly a faint layer of lipstick on his lips, indicating that he was likely intimate with a woman before he came back.Lennon gradually relaxed and started chatting with Thaddeus."You and your girlfriend must have a strong relationship. At Votum Group, we greatly value emotional bonds. I believe that these cold precious stones we possess can be transformed into meaningful tokens of affection in your hands. We look forward to a pleasant collaboration!"Thaddeus raised an eyebrow. "Oh? How did you notice that my wife and I have a good relationship?"Lennon chuckled awkwardly. How could he say anything in this situation? Embarrassing someone like Thaddeus
Jordan returned after sending the guests off. He then knocked on the door."Mr. Holt, if your discussions are finalized, I'll have the legal department prepare the contract. We will then confirm the terms with Mr. Robinson."Thaddeus nodded and instructed, "Draft the contract as soon as possible. Have the design and marketing departments move over first. HR should talk to everyone to see who is willing to relocate to Hajera. Those who agree will receive a 10% salary increase. For anyone unwilling to, terminate their contract with three times the compensation. Meanwhile, we'll continue the hiring process to expand the team."Jordan carefully noted down everything Thaddeus said. He then asked, "Mr. Holt, don't you think we should hire a few secretaries and assistants?"Thaddeus was very strict in his work, and it was not easy to make a living under him. In Zenville, there were more than a dozen people in the secretarial department. When things got busy, everyone had to run around non
Jessamine was not really into fangirling. Thus, she did not expect everyone to be so enthusiastic and excited about Hayden endorsing Kama Jewelry.Jessamine replied,: "Everyone, please calm down. Meeting him in person might be difficult, but I can try to get an autograph for you. I can't guarantee he will agree, but I can give it a shot." Comment by Caitlyn Chin: Meeting him inAs soon as she sent that message, someone started a thread in the group chat."Judith wants an autograph."Comment by Geri T: I'm not really sure about this partComment by Caitlyn Chin: The translation is fine. Just need to add the opening and closing quotation marks because this is a text message."Jenny wants an autograph."Comment by Caitlyn Chin: Just Jenny is fine because this is a text message in a company group chat. The characters should know each other already. Also, add the quotation marks."Sophia wants an autograph."Comment by Caitlyn Chin: Refer to the comment about Jenny."Wynter wants
Heather believed that the fundamental reason the situation had progressed to this point was because of Jessamine.When Jessamine was still the daughter-in-law of the Holt family, her relationship with Sasha was already strained. Considering this, it must be that her petty nature had resurfaced. She must have seized the opportunity for revenge and stopped Thaddeus from seeking help.Those business partners all acted out of respect for Thaddeus. They would not dare make rash moves if Thaddeus had not approved it. Otherwise, they might make a big mistake and cause trouble for themselves.Heather continued scolding, "Why aren't you saying anything? What do you mean by starting a company here and then luring my son to Hajera? Are you trying to take advantage of the Holt family so that you can benefit from it? Comment by Caitlyn Chin: so that you can benefit from itSlight change for better phrasing."Let me tell you, stop dreaming. The Holt's family isn't here to do charity. We aren'
After a brief moment of calm, a fresh wave of agitation arose within Heather. She then queried, "Are you really choosing her over me? Do you not want your mother anymore?"Thaddeus looked extremely impatient. His face was expressionless as he said, "I'm not taking sides. I'm just stating the facts. If you're not happy with this, you can distance yourself. Play your cards, go shopping—you don't lack spending money. So, don't make trouble for others."He clearly did not show his mother any respect.Heather cared a lot about her reputation. As the mother of the CEO of Holt Jewelry, she had been respectfully addressed as "Mrs. Holt Senior" over the years. If word about the incident that day got out, how would she be able to maintain her reputation in her group of wealthy friends?Heather glanced at the office, and she clenched her fists tightly . Jessamine had not said a single word. She had a mocking smile on her face as she watched Heather lose her temper.Comment by Caitlyn Chin: B
As the conversation continued, the security guard arrived and asked, "Excuse me, may I know what's happening here?"The employees of Kama Jewelry looked at each other, none of them daring to speak. They all returned to their desks, pretending to be busy with work. Although they were eager to hear the gossip about the CEO of Holt Jewelry, they knew it was better to not get involved. The more they knew, the worse off they could be. Thaddeus had a history of suing people into bankruptcy. Therefore, no one had the courage to speak a word about the incident today, ensuring it would remain a secret.Heather glanced into the room. Jessamine was still leaning against the desk, slowly sipping a cup of coffee. It became clear to Heather that she had no intention of dealing with her directly. She just wanted the security guard to handle the situation.Heather snorted and thought, "Who does that vixen think she is to rush me away?"She then said to the security guard, "There's no need for yo
"Jessie, I'm sorry, please disregard my mother's words as insignificant. I will arrange for her to go overseas immediately. Rest assured, I am committed to sending her away!" Jessamine didn't respond, giving him the cold shoulder.Thaddeus was most afraid of his partner ignoring him completely. As long as she was communicative, he could find ways to make her happy. However, if she stayed silent, it would become very difficult for him. "Jessie, why don't we head to Reverie Delights tonight? They just got a new shipment of fresh seafood this afternoon, so it's the best time to go. What kind of taste are you in the mood for? I'll ask the chef to make it."Jessamine locked the documents in the drawer and picked up the phone charger from the table. Thaddeus had already handed her her purse, and his courteous gesture eased some of her annoyance.However, she couldn't simply let this slide. Being blocked and scolded at work for no reason was ultimately due to his mother's influence.
