    Frowning Majalooked at the woman who clearlycked acting skills. The woman mised her eyebrows,


    pretending to be surprised, and covered her mouth


    Oh my Im so sorry Mass let me find some wipes to clean it up for you”


    Maja nced at the woman’s ID badge and saw her name was bans Shepard A member of the


    Shepard family? Mas suspected she might be connected toris past


    Dana expected Maja to brush off the incident pothely after her insincere apology However, Maja stood


    her ground and smiled


    “Sure please find some wipes to clean it up


    Danas expression changed thinking she might have misheard She had purposely fetched a dark


    coffee, anticipating it would not easily wipe off Mad’s clothes once spilled. She hadn’t expected this


    response Nervouth. Dana mmered. The wipes might not be sufficient


    Well then find an atomative solution. Or perhaps you could order a suitable outfit for me online. I have


    important work to do and no time to go home and change”


    Danas face darkened Did this womanck social awareness?


    Onlookers observed the spectacle Some were entertained by the situation, while others whispered

    However the encountered some past drama involvingn and Carlene in her research. They were high


    school ssmates, but the reasons for their rtionship remained a mystery to Maja. Nevertheless,


    she didn’t concern herself with their history. Maintaining her smile, Maja replied, That has nothing to do


    with the coffee spill. Or maybe I can spill one back on you, and then we’ll be even. How does that


    sound?”


    Dana’s anger boled over, causing her to tremble. This was the first time someone had spoken to her in


    such a manner since joining thepany.


    “You!”


    She raised her hand to p Maja but Maja swiftly grabbed her hand, exerting enough force to make


    Dana wince


    Let go‘ Where’s security? Where’s the security on this floor?”


    Just as Dana shouted for help, the door ton’s office unexpectedly opened. Startled, Maja instinctively


    released Dana’s hand, causing her to lose her bnce and fall to the floor..


    Maa innocently looked at Dana as if to say. This has nothing to do with me.”


    Dana seethed with anget her chest heaving, as she turned her gaze towardsn.

    for Carlene were true, and he had been waiting for her return all these years.
