Chapter 746
Meanwhile, the oblivious Charles was washing theb’s toilet.
As they had to spend a long time cleaning, Benedict and Zendaya didn’t insist on them wearing female
outfits.
Now that Charles and Nico could finally put theirfortable male clothing back on, they were a lot
more diligent in their work.
Just as they were washing thest cubicle of the fourth-floor toilet and Charles was spraying water
everywhere with a hose, a man in a professor’s garb walked in.
Turning around upon hearing themotion, Charles made eye contact with the man, an action that
stunned both of them.
It was the same man who wanted Charles’ contact thest time.
As an awkward look descended upon Charles’ face, he lowered his head to look at his outfit for the
day. He was no longer dressed like a woman, so he didn’t feel weird this time.
However, the man scrutinized him from head to toe for a long while.
He was shocked to see Charles dressed like a man for the very first time.
Wow! There’s actually a man in this world who can dress up like a beautiful woman without putting on
any makeup.
Without the wig and short skirt, Charles looked extremely dashing, his sky-blue eyes adding to the
distinguished aura he exuded.
“What are you looking at? This is the toilet. Just go about your business.”
Despite Charles’ indifferent voice, themanding tone within it was unmistakable.
The hostility he showed was further entuated by the threatening look in his eyes.
The man was rendered speechless by Charles’ response. The thought of peeing in front of a man who
was significantly more handsome simply felt weird.
Moreover, he had mistaken thetter as a pretty girl and even harbored designs upon “her.”
After a brief moment of awkwardness, the man turned to leave. “On second thought, I don’t feel like
peeing anymore.”
Thereafter, Charles gave the man’s leaving silhouette a puzzled look.
That’s strange, why did he decide not to use the toilet aftering all the way here?
Out of goodwill, Charles advised him, “Do you have any health problems? You’re still young, so don’t
be too engrossed in your research. Also, don’t forget to take some kidney supplements.”
Upon hearing Charles’ words, the man’s hair stood on end. He then tucked his head into his shoulders
and scurried away as fast as he could.
Charles snorted in disdain. “He’s such a coward yet dared to ask for my number back then. Even
Whitney has more balls than him.”
The moment Whitney’s name rolled off his tongue, Charles’ expression froze. A short whileter, he
continued cleaning the toilet with a scowl on his face.
He was entirely oblivious to the fact that Cedrick and Benedict were plotting how to spend his money.
That day, Benedict cooperated as usual for his IV drip.
However, he no longer got Cedrick to leave, for his mind was upied with the oceanarium.
Using Cedrick’s tablet, he searched for exotic animals with the intention of raising them there.
Moreover, he nned to head to the oceanarium in the afternoon to check it out, a first step in
establishing his underwater theme park.
The serious look on Benedict’s face triggered a sense of pride in Cedrick. Sitting by the former’s bed,
he would work on hisptop and peel some fruits for his son whenever he was free.
At that moment, both father and son got along harmoniously.
Meanwhile, at Newton Group, Whitney had noticed many of her colleagues giving her strange looks
when she walked into the logistics department on the fifteenth floor first thing in the morning.
She could feel their nosey gazes when they walked past her. Some had coffee in their hands, while
others were holding files.
In fact, quite a number of those seated would stare at her curiously as she walked past.
Feeling ufortable with the attention, she hurried to her seat in the corner without asking what was
going on.
When she recalled how her colleagues who sided with Lana were upset with her, she checked her seat
thoroughly before sitting down.
After making sure that her chair wasn’t tampered with, herputer could be turned out as usual, and
the table was just as tidy as the day before, Whitney heaved a sigh of relief.
It seems I’m just being paranoid. Those women are probably not that childish to mess with my chair.
While she was in the midst of examining it, Lana—eyes glistening with schadenfreude nearby—would
sneak frequent nces at her.
Meanwhile, Whitney gradually took her seat, unaware of what was going on. She then turned on her
computer, inserted her sh drive, and copied the work she did in her study room the night before onto
it.
A few minutes passed, yet she didn’t notice anything amiss until she heard knocking sounds from her
drawer.
Curious to what it was, she proceeded to open it.
Right inside was a big fat rat scurrying around and squeaking non-stop.
The drawer was in an utter mess. It was covered with a dirty and smelly slime from the rat, while the
documents inside had all been chewed to pieces.
Just as Lana was waiting in anticipation for Whitney to scream, thetter remained calm with a
darkening expression.
Without any hesitation, she caught the rat’s tail with a swift motion and raised it into the air.
Everyone around her watched on in horror.
Everyone around her watched on in horror.
I never knew she was so gutsy! It’s shocking that she dared to catch a rat with her bare hands!
Rat in hand, Whitney swept her gaze across the room and demanded, “Whose is this?”
Everyone responded by looking down in silence.
As Whitney still remembered the female colleagues who sided with Lana to disparage her, she held up
the rat to them and asked them one by one.
“Is this yours?”
“Ah! Take it away from me. It stinks. It’s not mine!”
“Yours then?”
“No, not mine! Ah, take it away. It’s still moving!”
Her colleagues’ expressions drastically changed as they recoiled in fear.
Whitney sneered, “NR Group is one of Chanaea’s top-listedpanies and has a clinically clean
working environment. There’s no way a rat would appear out of nowhere. This thing has ruined the
documents in my drawer. Whoever is behind this will be responsible for the loss. If no one admits to it,
I’ll check the surveince feeds instead. When the timees, I’ll hurl this rat onto her body.”

Whitney spoke in a forceful tone. She would never back down in the face of bullying.
However, silence continued to fill the room.
It wasn’t until a whileter that Lana got to her feet. “Whitney, I just saw you take the rat out from your
drawer. You were the one who was secretly raising it in the office, and now, you’re trying to frame
someone else for it?”
The women who sided with Lana backed her up.
“That’s right. We’ve been working here for a few years now and have never encountered a rat here, so
why is there one in your drawer on your second day here?”
“Only those who are dirty attract rats.”
“You started it, yet you’re kicking up a fuss. You’re just an intern. Do you really think you’re someone
important just because Isaac has your back? You should know your ce and keep your head down,
do you understand?”
As the women’s insults grew increasingly outrageous, Whitney’s anger began to swell.
She replied in a grim tone, “All of you are right. Only those who are dirty deserve this filthy rat. In that
case, let’s see who the real owner is. I’m going to let it track her down!”
No sooner had she spoken than she threw the rate onto the ground.
The fat rat was extremely agile as it scurried underneath everyone’s desks.
The girls on the entire floor screamed in shock. They kept jumping on their feet, while their faces lost all
color.
With the male colleagues equally afraid of the rat, the entire logistics department was thrown into an
uproar.
