Peggy's attitude irked Alicia. She pointed to the service guide on the wall and said sternly, "It clearly states here that expense claims require a three-day advance notice. Our payments are all scheduled out."There's a set amount allocated for daily expenses. For a company of this size, with dozens of claims to process every day, wouldn't it be chaos without a schedule?"Peggy's face turned red with anger at those words. She snatched the documents and shot Alicia a fierce glare before storming out.Once Peggy left, Alicia cursed under her breath, "What a piece of work!"Just as Calla was about to step forward to console Alicia, one of their colleagues, Rayne, approached Alicia with a mysterious air. "Alright, calm down. She's got connections. Be careful what you say, or she might twist things against you."Alicia raised her head and locked eyes with Calla before turning to Rayne. "What connections does she have?""I heard she and Mr. Garland are from the same school. Rumor has

Just before Peggy's hand could land on Calla's face, Calla grabbed Peggy's wrist and gave her a shove that sent her stumbling.Pointing at Peggy, Calla reprimanded furiously, "I've tolerated you for long enough. I'm warning you. Provoke me again, and I'll beat you up to a pulp!"Peggy had never received such treatment before. She glared at Calla while clenching her hands into fists.Calla's eyes bore into Peggy's with contempt. Her anger was so intense that she no longer cared about the fact that she was at Atlas. She was determined to settle all scores with Peggy right then and there.At that moment, someone exclaimed in surprise, "M-Mr. Garland?"Calla glanced up to see Mercer standing in the doorway, with Derek, the manager at the finance department, behind him.There was no expression on Mercer's face, but a hint of hostility could be seen in his eyes as he gazed at Calla and Peggy. Calla suddenly felt at a loss.The room fell silent, and everyone froze in place.Derek hurr

Back at her desk after a satisfying meal, Calla was about to burp when Derek appeared in front of her. Startled, she swallowed the burp back."Mr. Garland has reviewed your statement and deemed it not sufficiently thorough. He wants you to rewrite it." Derek placed the reflection statement in front of her.What? Rewrite it? Calla's anger flared up again. She had already written it so carefully and thoughtfully. How could Mercer still find fault with it? He was clearly biased against her.Noticing Calla's impatience, Derek patted her shoulder. "Rewrite it seriously. Don't leave a bad impression on Mr. Garland.""Fine." Calla sighed in resignation.Sitting at her desk, she racked her brain and tried to compose the reflection statement once more.Meanwhile, Derek made another announcement that had all the employees cheering."Everyone, the company is organizing a vacation for all employees at Luna Resort this weekend. All expenses will be covered. Get your luggage ready. We're leav

On Friday afternoon, Atlas employees were granted an early leave. Four tour buses were parked in front of Atlas Tower, with employees boarding one after another.Sitting on the bus, Calla kept glancing outside. Most of the company's executives had already arrived, but Mercer was still nowhere to be seen."Is he coming or not?" Alicia couldn't contain her impatience."I don't know," Calla replied with a frown.Covering her face, Alicia lamented. "Oh, no. We're leaving in five minutes. My money!""Fine, I'll treat you to lunch every day for the rest of the month, okay?" Calla thought that since she couldn't finish all the food at the Riviera by herself, Mercer wouldn't mind her bringing some back."Mr. Garland! Mr. Garland is here!" a woman suddenly exclaimed.Calla looked up and saw a tall figure in a black suit walking toward them from a distance, followed by Simon and Ally, who were carrying luggage bags."He really came! We won!" Alicia grabbed Calla's arm excitedly.At this

Alicia had already mingled with some male colleagues.Peggy was even more extravagantly dressed today. She wore a backless gold dress that nearly exposed her backside. Despite its gaudiness, the men couldn't help but sneak glances.Meanwhile, Calla quietly sat in a corner, enjoying the food rather than seeking attention.As the dinner party was nearing its end, the evening emcee, Toby Davies, announced the start of the game session."Ladies and gentlemen, our first game tonight is a balloon transport competition. In these two boxes are cards with the names of everyone present."I will randomly select five men and five women to come up on stage," Toby explained while standing in front of two transparent boxes filled with cards.The balloon transport game required one man and one woman to form a team. They couldn't use their hands and couldn't let the balloon touch the ground. Instead, they had to use their bodies to transport the balloon from the starting point to the finish line.
