Chapter 1748
I stood there as usual while smiling, wanting to see if she had anything else up her sleeve.
Este''s voice was getting smaller and smaller, barely louder than a mosquito’s buzzing. After a moment, a sobbing sound came faintly from the
spacious corridor. Looking carefully, as expected, Este''s body was shaking, as if she had been greatly wronged.
She muttered, "Miss Reid, I''ll dly take anything if you wish to punish me. But please don''t make light of thepany’s business. I''ll send the
documents for Mr. Roberts to sign first, and then I''lle back to help you, if you insist..."
If one looked carefully, they would see a few sparkling tears sliding down her face, delicate and sorrowful.
Unfortunately, she was no Ophelia. I did not feel sorry, but instead found her ratherughable.
I said, "Oh, Miss Zanes... If you didn''t mention it, I would have forgotten that Hendrix used to be too focused on his work to take care of himself. It''s
lunchtime now, so he can take the opportunity to rest and recuperate. As his secretary, you''re bringing work to him during his rest. Have you ever
considered whether he can handle it? If Hendrix overexerted himself, can you afford to take responsibility. Miss Zanes?"
I walked to her while I was speaking. When I finished speaking, Miss Zanes raised her head and wanted to refute me. Our eyes met, and when I
locked into her red eyes, my gaze became even more unyielding. I didn''t try to avoid her and instead, I questioned her.
A tigress couldn''t hold back, lest she was taken as just a harmless cat.
Este''s expression was obviously stunned for two seconds. She then took a step back and pulled away from me. She said stubbornly, "I am certainly
very considerate for Mr. Roberts’ health, I..."
"You what?" I noticed that she grasped the lunch box in her hand, and my tone became more aggressive.
Este knew very well that I had
seen that lurch box many times. If
she daredto admit that she had = >
been delivering food to Hendrix al?
this time, it would mean that she
was prelentious woman, coveting
HeAdrix since long before, Content
belongs to ?
"Nothing." Este reluctantly looked away, her exasperated look covering up all her previous weakness.
"What''s going.on?’ Evan''s
appearance Was a little sudden. He
had probably been here since just ._
Now. After istening for a while, hes
decidedoe forward. He said to
Estein a cold tone, "Why don''t
know that Mr. Roberts has an
iEportant document to deal with
now?"
Este bit her lip and finally showed a trace of panic. Facing Evan, who was firm and tough, she could not say a word
"Wow, I guess someone just got carried away in acting!" Freya gloated and leaned against the office wall. She locked like she was having fun, which
wasparable to Aaron''s notorious mockery.
Este''s face flushed red, and she had nothing to say.
Evan didn''t pay much attention to her. He tured around and got to the point. "Miss Reid, what are you doing here? Perhaps you need something as
the director of thepany?”
Evan was really smart; I was impressed. Este was about to put me below her position, so he, as Hendrix''s special assistant, addressed me as the
director. He respected my status in a clever way.
Someone in the board of directors should have the prestige of being treated as such
I looked at him expressionlessly and
nodded. "It''s agmall matter. Freya''s
company was just established, so I
wanted te.have her learn from us. I
thought that Miss Zanes was the:
best option to ask for help, singe she
always seemed so kind and friendly.
Sat-came especially to asker for
Her assistance. I didn''t expect that I
would actually disturb her work. I
guess I picked the wrong time to
come over."
Everything in the world depended on money and prestige. A small office assistant humiliated a director, and even dared to pretend to be pitiful. I
wanted to see just how much pride and power Este could afford in Roberts Group.
