Chapter 587


    Upon entering the office, Hesper immediately realized that her initial perception of the situation was too


    simplistic. The meeting room was packed with people, at least thirty or forty of them.


    She couldn''t help but wonder, ''What is he up to now?''


    That said, Hesper calmly sat down amidst the gazes of everyone in the room and faced Rickard, who


    was seated in the main seat. She forced a bitter smile and said, "It feels like I''m attending my own


    execution."


    "You''re just being paranoid," Rickard replied nonchntly. However, upon seeing Hesper''s strained


    smile, he couldn''t help but smirk and add, "This just shows our sincerity to you, doesn''t it?"


    Benji coughed awkwardly, and Hesper bit her tongue before nodding. "Alright, let''s get started. I want to


    see if your sincerity goes beyond just words."


    "I''m sure you won''t be disappointed, Ms. Lane," Rickard said.


    Although the employees in the room could sense the tension between the two and they wanted to see


    drama between Rickard and Hesper, their professionalism as employees of arge corporation


    demanded them to remainposed and focused on their own documents.


    As Hesper nced around, she realized that she didn''t have any materials in front of her. Just as she


    was about to speak up, the meeting room door opened once again, and someone rushed in with a


    stack of documents.


    "Here are the final ten sets of documents. Is there anyone who still needs them?"


    As Hesper raised her hand to indicate that she did, Sophia looked over and saw her seated in a red


    dress, smiling and waving at her with what seemed like a hint of mockery.


    Sophia never expected to encounter Hesper during her lowest moment. She clenched her teeth so


    hard that they were close to grinding down. Despite this, in front of so many people, especially Rickard,


    she had to hold back her anger and approach Hesper to hand over the documents.


    Hesper scolded Sophia. "Don''t you have any manners?"


    "Don''t push it," Sophia replied.


    Hesper was slightly surprised, "So this is how yourpany treats its guests. You imed it was a


    sincere gesture earlier, but now even a low-level employee can speak to me so disrespectfully."


    Except for Rickard, Hesper, and Benji, no one else in the room knew Sophia''s true identity. Upon


    hearing Hesper''s words, everyone looked at Sophia with some anger in their eyes.


    Sophia couldn''t understand how this had turned into her issue when it was clear that Hesper was

    causing trouble for her.


    She looked towards Rickard for help, but he stayed silent, gazing at Sophia as if he didn''t recognize


    her at all.


    This was the first time Sophia felt incredibly helpless. Hesper continued to stare at her as if she would


    begin the meeting only if Sophia apologized.


    Softly, Sophia muttered, "I''m sorry." The room waspletely silent. Although her voice was barely


    audible, everyone heard her.


    "Sorry about what?"


    Sophia jerked her head up.
