Bryce chuckled, taking Maeve''s hand as she patted his shoulder. "Ms. Scott, as your loyal partner, I won''t stand by and let you be bullied."Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    "What are you nning? Maeve asked, eyeing him warly.


    Bryce winked and made a shushing gesture. "It''s a secret."


    Maeve found it perplexing.


    The next day, news of Bryce finishing his shoot and leaving Tomkins Corporation spread quickly.


    Maeve returned to her workstation to find her desk cluttered with disorganized files and sticky notes covering herputer.


    "Maeve, you''ve been following Bryce for days and neglected your Internship tasks. Ms. Stewart asked me to give you these.


    "They all need to be done today, or your internship grade will be at risk," a nearby female employee, Erika Finley, said after dumping a stack of files on Maeve''s desk. Maeve nced at the pile of documents, which was almost as high as herputer. Then, she looked at ra, who was smirking in the office.


    She had expected this but was surprised by ra''sck of subtlety.


    Maeve counted the files and said, "I remember this task was assigned to you by Ms. Sweedney yesterday, wasn''t it?"


    Erika, unfazed, replied, "So what? I''m a permanent employee here. Passing you these files shows my trust in you."


    Maeve let out a coldugh. "Do you think it''s possible to review all these reports and create ten corresponding proposals in one day?"


    Erika hesitated but retorted, "Maeve, this is a learning opportunity for you. You''d better be grateful! Tomkins Group is a listedpany that is highly respected in the industry. "Consider yourself lucky to intern here, especially since you got into Amenam University through connections."


    Maeve chuckled at Erika''s words. Who on earth could say such shameless words? "Who told you I got Into Amenam University through connections?"


    "Of course it''s..." Erika started but swallowed her words after realizing her mistake.


    "Maeve, the fact is a fact. The wholepany knows you got in through connections. Otherwise, how could you be interning at Tomkins Group?" "There are many interns here. Are you saying they all got in through connections?" Maeve asked.

    "I..." Erika faltered.


    ra stepped out of the office, saying, "Maeve, are you saying you can''t handle the tasks I''ve assigned. you?"


    She dropped her pretense and stood before Maeve like a victor.


    "Ms. Stewart, Maeve says she can''tplete these tasks," Erika said.


    ra replied, "Why can''t you? I canplete these tasks, and so can others. Maeve, are you just here to coast through your internship?


    "If that''s your attitude, I will discuss with Mr. Tomkins whether you should continue your internship here."


    The atmosphere in the workspace grew tense, but Maeve smirked. She couldn''t fathom where ra''s superiorityplex came from. "Fine, but you''ll need to move aside before you can do so," Maeve said.


    ra frowned. "What do you mean by that?"


    "It''s simple. Move."


    As soon as Maeve spoke, two rows of ck-suited bodyguards entered thepany.


    Leading them, Za approached Maeve and respectfully said, "Ms. Scott, here is the contract for Mr. Grant and Tomkins Jewelry for this quarter."
