Chapter 47
The person from the HR department looked at Brielle with a polite expression on their
face.
In this delicate time, she might have been hand-picked by the CEO. Those with any sense knew better
than to cross her.
“Ms. Haywood, your requests have been forwarded to the finance department, and the decorators
should be here shortly to discuss with you. As for the vacant manager position, feel free to rmend
someone if you have a suitable candidate in mind.”
with her
As she walked out of the office, Brielle’s gaze settled on a girl tucked away in the corner. The girl
looked very thin, her hair messy, and she didn’t talk much. “Let’s go I think her name is Emily Hatfield.”
The girl named Emily looked up, meeting Brielle’s eyes. A flicker of panic crossed her face before she
averted her gaze.
Could it be? Did Brielle recognize who she was?
Emily frowned nervously, deliberately tousling her already unkempt hair. The thick, ck frames on her
nose made her even less conspicuous-if that was possible in the sea of
office workers.
She lowered her head and sent a text message. [I think Brielle is onto me.]
Her phone buzzed almost immediately with a new message. [Emily, maybe just drop it. She hasn’t
really bullied me that much. You don’t have to go out of your way to Dorsey International. The Haywood
family has been good to me. If they find out, sigh.]
Emily’s face twisted in disapproval as she watched Brielle, her eyes filled with revulsion that was
hidden behind the thick lenses.

Meanwhile, Brielle was also observing her, recalling the files she had seen which featured Emily’s
name.

Emily. The name stood out, and her record was impressive. She might not be appearance, but she had
a quiet disposition and never seemed to stir up trouble
Brielle didn’t need a social butterfly like Lucinda. Someone who could earnestly g done would suffice.
However, the thought of promoting Emily to a managerial posit after only a month at thepany gave
her pause. The office gossip would undoubte

She turned to the HR staff and said, “Let’s leave the position open for now. If someone shows
exceptional performance in uing projects, I’ll consider them for the promotion.”
The HR staff nodded in agreement.

Emily let out a sigh of relief. That brief eye contact had her worried she’d been discovered, but the
crisis seemed to have passed, and she allowed herself a quiet huff of disdain.
Her nearby colleagues couldn’t help but whisper among themselves. “Emily, you’ve always seemed to
have it out for her. Is it true what you said about her bullying others?”
Nodding, Emily thought of her friend Lillian’s tear-stained face and felt a pang of difort. “My friend
was the one getting bullied. She’d often get pped by her and was even falsely used of stealing.
Brielle is a piece of work.”
“My goodness. I had no idea she was capable of such things. How could Mr. Spencer be so blind?”
Emily’s tone was one of scorn as she texted Lillian while responding to her colleagues. “Spencer had
eyes for my friend, but Brielle, out of jealousy, cornered him into an engagement. Don’t let her aloof
demeanor fool you, she’s had her fair share of men, which is exactly why Spencer despises her. He
knew all along she wasn’t the saint she pretends to be.”
The colleagues were shocked, never having heard about Brielle’s personal life before.
Emily had intended to expose Brielle’s professional shorings at Dorsey International, but to her
frustration, Brielle was meticulous at work and now, infuriatingly, even got promoted.
[Lillian, have you heard about Brielle’s promotion?]
[Yeah, Spencer mentioned she’s been seeing two guys at once. I can’t believe Bri would do something
like that. She’s changed so much, and I hardly recognize her. Emily, you shoulde back. I’m worried
she’ll find out about you and get the wrong idea about me.]
[What’s there to be afraid of. I chose toe to Dorsey International on my own. Even if she finds out,
so what? Don’t be scared of her.]
Reading the message, Lillian smirked.
