Every night before she slept, her thoughts would drift off to Wesley-to everything he said and did.


    Sometimes she would imagine how their future would be. Tonight was no exception.


    The next morning, ir handed the tranted documents to the manager of the German cooperative


    partner in the conference room. They were satisfied and spoke highly of her capability. She heaved a


    sigh of relief. Of course, she thanked Wesley’s help in her mind.


    After the meeting, ir was called into Filberta’s office. Her superior requested her team to perform a


    show in thepany’s annual g next month. Filberta even gave a specific suggestion, asking them


    to present a dance on the stage.


    ir was surprised. She asked in confusion, “Dance? But why?”

    Wearing bright red lipstick on her lips, Filberta shed an evil smile.


    “Well, as you already know, most of the staff members in ourpany are men. It’ll help to enliven the


    atmosphere of the party.


    Just learn some steps of modern dance and practice it with your team members. Besides, you aren’t


    married yet, right? It’s a good chance that will help you find a boyfriend. Do remember to put on the


    shortest skirt, put on heavy makeup and move your body as sexily as you can.”


    ir seethed in anger. She didn’t know how to dance. It waste winter now, and Filberta was asking


    her to wear a miniskirt. Did this vicious woman want to freeze her to death? But ir understood the


    actual intent of her words. She knew that Filberta wanted to humiliate her and was going to use this


    opportunity to do so.


    “Filberta, I’m afraid I have to disappoint you. Since childhood I’ve not been good at dancing. And sadly I


    have no other talents. It will bring shame to our department if I perform on the stage. So I think it is


    better if you don’t count me in.”


    “Don’t count you in? No way! You and your team must perform and present a dance in the show!”


    Filberta was persistent.


    She had a stronger desire now to push ir onto the stage as she had confessed that she had no


    other talents. It was clear to everyone that

    ir was like a goddess in the eyes of many of the male staff members.


    It would be a good opportunity to show ir’s incapability and ineptness to them. They would surely be


    disappointed.


    ir rolled her eyes.


    “Why do we have to perform? Don’t I have the right to make a choice? Is it also in thepany rules


    that one can bepelled to dance even if one isn’t willing to?”


    Sensing ir’s anger, Filberta said in a righteous voice, “The annual g is the biggest event of the


    company in a year. Why can’t you make a little contribution to support thepany? But now I can


    clearly see that your work attitudes and ethics are not good enough.”


    ir felt her blood boiling in anger.


    “You mean to say that my work attitude is not good just because I refuse to perform on the stage?” she


    countered.


    “Sorry to say but yes!” Filberta replied, trying to sound firm.


    ir couldn’t keep her anger in control anymore.


    “Are you nuts


    Although there wasn’t a third person in her office, Filberta still felt humiliated, being retorted by a


    subordinate. She instantly shouted back, “How dare you! Why don’t you quit the job if you can’t follow


    orders? Who do you think you are? Huh? Everyone said yes except you.


    Don’t you think it’s your problem? Just put on a good performance. No more nonsense!”


    She ended her sentence like a thunderous roar. ir didn’t want to make a scene. Suppressing her


    anger, she exined patiently


    “Filberta, I don’t mean to reject your order on purpose. I just don’t want to embarrass the trantion


    department. There’re many better choices.”
