Chapter 65
Helix Group was a big corporation, so they were particr about their rules and regtions.
Since they had already stated it, it meant that there would be personnel conducting strict screening. Thus, there was no way that Caroline could take
Cindy with her.
So, Caroline called Cindy and me te the office to exin this to us
"Ms. Lane, it''s a shame we can''t participate in this party together. Don’t worry, though. There will be plenty of parties in the future. We can take part
together next time.”
Cindy lowered her gaze and whispered, "I understand."
After that, Cindy left the office looking disappointed.
Then, I thought of how Bruce would be distressed if he saw this.
Caroline also noticed this and remarked, "I''m sure this won''t be thest time I''ll be hearing about this."
I looked toward her, and when our gazes met, Caroline added, "Cindy brought this up in our work group. Let''s not forget that Bruce is also inside it.”
I understood what Caroline was saying—she thought that Cindy did it on purpose.
I started to feel a bit uneasy.
However, sometimes, what one feared most was simply bound to happen.
When it was almost time to get off work, Caroline sent a screenshot of the conversation between her and John
"Mr. Harold wants you to find a way to bring Ms. Lane to tomorrow''s party."
Although John wasn''t straightforward about it, Caroline and I both knew what he meant behind it.
Only two people could go to the party. Thus, Bruce wanted Caroline to choose between me and Cindy.
Caroline furiously roared, "I could normally overlook how biased he is to her. But tomorrow''s a special asion. And as a student who hasn''t even
graduated yet, what right does she have to participate in it? Is Bruce blinded by lust?"
So, Caroline rejected John''s proposal.
"As thepany president, I''m sure I have the final say in this matter."
I knew she felt it was unfair for me
However, I knew Bruce wouldn''t give up until he achieved his goal.
Seared that he might take it out on Caroline, I took the initiative to call him
"Yes, Ms. Fisher?"Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.
I hesitated for two seconds before asking, "Are you free to meet up? I have something to discuss about tomorrow''s party.”
Bruce paused for a moment before stating. "Address." It seemed he wasn''t willing to say a word more from how concise his answer was.
So, I set the ce at the coffee shop Kate and I met yesterday.

I got choked up on my words after hearing that. It seemed that Bruce left no room for negotiation for me.
Observing my silence, he furrowed his eyebrows and asked, "What? What do you want to say?”
I advised, "Given your distinguished status, I''m sure it''s not a hard job for you to get Cindy into a party, right?"
Bruce looked at me indifferently. "I told you I don’t want her to be gossiped about.”
I gripped the handle of my cup to keep calm. Then, I spoke frankly, "Are you determined to have me give the attending opportunity to Ms. Lane?"
“You''re not giving to her. I''m sure you understand that it''s up to the person in charge to decide who gets the opportunity."
