"I'm sorry. Am I interrupting you?" Rita smiled lightly and just grabbed a seat. She was actually sitting on the spot where Euan used to sit on. Though Euan didn't have the title of store manager, she was treated the same way as the manager's. what's more, she had sitting on this spot for a long time to the point that all the people just thought that she ought to sit on that. Not only did shop assistants thought of that, Euan herself thought the same way. So when she saw Rita sitting on her seat, the jealousy and resentment in her eyes deepened. Looking at the mood change in Euan's eyes coldly, Rita glanced at the Tomas who was standing next to her. Tomas was an undergraduate and majored in marketing management. She knew who he was because she used to see a press report about him in the previous lifetime. She vaguely remembered that he set a billion sales without 24 hours using a certain marketing mode and shoot to fame within the marketing planning industry overnight. Afte
"You insist on calling the police, Manager Booth?" Rita raised her eyebrows and landed her eyes on the flamboyant woman. Euan answered firmly, "I insist!" But... of course she can choose not to call the police if Tomas would give in. She really didn't mind making a big scene out of this. she really had nothing to lose anyway. She can just blackmail the new comer in the future. Though that new comer was not as sweet as Tomas, he was somewhat handsome. "Well then, let's just call the police." Rita said coolly. Hearing that Rita was being so blunt, Tomas' heart nearly skipped a beat. He then just right plunged into the abyss of desperation. He really took it wrong. He really thought that Rita was helping him out. "Okay, I will call the police right away." Euan elongated the tone on purpose to scare Tomas. But she didn't know that Tomas had made up his mind to go to the detention center. There was in no way that he would cave in. Seeing that he wouldn't give in, Euan's face dar
All people's eyes landed on Rita and Liam because Liam's words. Rita blushed because they just became the center of attention. "Let go of me. I'm working..." "Let go of me." Seeing that Liam had no action, Rita looked up confusedly. Liam then retracted his look from Tomas and loosened his strength, "Okay." Seeing the Liam was being so protective, Lillian was really shocked. Then Liam's phone suddenly rang. Glancing at the caller ID, Liam paused for a second and answered the phone, "Hello." Liam frowned hearing caller's words, but he still Rita was taken aback by his words. How come that he changed the subject so quickly? She stroked her forehead and said, "Even though they are my friends?" "Yep." Rita and Lillian were both taken aback by Liam's words. 'It's lucky that she is a woman, or she definitely wouldn't be allowed to be near Rita. Lillian thought inside. "Okay, be good. I will be back soon." Liam then pecked Rita on the lips. Lima would definitely give Rita a lin
In the lounge. "Miss Rita, Mr. Spencer is in your office. He wants to see you." A girl rushed in. Thomas almost choked himself when he heard the name, his face a ugly green. Rita was confused when she took note of his reaction. Who is Mr. Spencer? Someone heavyweight? Why is Thomas so freaked out to hear his name? She showed no emotion on the outside despite the confusion. "Noted, I'll be right there." She put down the chopsticks and got to her feet. However, Thomas grabbed her wrist. "Don't go." His tone and expression made Rita wonder. "Why?" "Because..." Thomas took a deep breath before he told Rita how Euan molested male staff and the relation between Euan and Mr. Spencer. "She must be holding grudge against you now that you thwarted her plan to affront me. I bet she asked this Mr. Spencer to revenge you, she wants to fire you." He used this trick on the last manager too. "That's what this is about..." Now Rita understood why Thomas was in such a stew. Thomas
Her face was pale as milk when she realized that. She fucked up. Cursing silently, Euan gave Bruno a pleading look. "Bruno..." "Don't you dare you to touch me again!" Bruno scolded, his face dark. The way Bruno turned back on her pissed Euan so much that she bit her lip so forcefully. So you're not going to help me? You this old asshole. in such a dire situation, the pressure made her brain run faster so that she came up with a solution. Bruno seldom talked about the Browns, but not never. He mentioned them once or twice in his cups. He said that there was a Brown girl who gave up everything for a man and ended up disowned by the family. She remembered. The girl's name was... her name was... was Rita! She recalled. That's right! Rita! No wonder she found Rita's name familiar when she first heard it. But she could not remember where she heard it and so did not pay it much mind. Now that she remembered, that fear she felt abated. Rita was that useless girl in Bruno's mo
As the photos and paper fell on the table, time seemed to stop. Then almost at the same time, Amelia and Rita's eyes were drawn to the photos. Amelia could not make out the words on the paper due to the distance, but still, she got nervous. Her heart beat fast, anxiety and fear magnifying inside her. Her body acted fast than her mind. She scrambled up and reached for the photos and paper. "Bullshit! Who are you? You are trying to deceive my granddaughter, aren't you?" Amelia didn't even spare a look on the paper, she just tore them into pieces and threw them on Michael. "Get out!" Rita seldom saw Amelia to be so furious before, she squinted. The fragments slapped on Michael's face. But he didn't get mad, instead, he smiled. "It's just some paper, why do you get so anxious, Mrs. Amelia?" Rita kept silent, her eyes fixing on Amelia's face to catch every minor change of emotion on it. Amelia had to yield under Rita's stare. She straightened her back after a few seconds and sn
Jacob chickened out immediately at the stare of Liam's. pouty, he murmured. "So what I got a problem?" Had you ever been democratic? They stood close together so that Liam caught his complain. He smiled. "Feel free to say it if you have a problem." Jacob looked like he had seen a ghost. "Really?" "Of course... if you're not afraid of death, say whatever you want to say." Jacob felt comforted when he heard "of course", Liam is still that Liam, he still has a sense of human rights, love hasn't blinded him yet. But when Liam proceeded, his heart fell from the sky and shattered into pieces. He ought to know... he should never have any hope. Seemingly, Liam was democratic, but actually... Those who obey live, and who defies die. Tyrant! All those thought happened just in a blink. Soon Jacob came back to himself and surrendered to his fate. At his post, he muttered. "We workers suffer when someone miss his love." To Jacob's sighs and complains, Liam paid a curt smile. He di
"Li... Liam." The cold expression of his told Rita that he must had mistaken. Hurriedly, she thrust Oliver away and explained. "Liam, listen to me, it's not what you saw, I did not do anything with him." "So there's some problem with my eyes?" Liam threw back. "Nah, I mean..." "You lied, sweetie. You just kissed me, how can you deny it." Oliver uttered while Rita was racking her brain to think of a proper explanation, his tone accusing. "Sweetie, you're a bad girl." Rita could feel jealousy seeping out from Liam. Her back was stiff was she saw that dark face of her boyfriends, she whirled abruptly to rebuke Oliver. "Stop raving, you mad drunkie! I... hey! Don't you fall asleep, you have to explain this!" She reached her hands out to sway the Oliver, trying to keep him awake but failing. Oliver just tell asleep. Rita froze. Hello? Seriously? You can't do me like that! How is she going to explain to Liam now? How is she going to end this farce? Oh, god! Please! Take
