Chapter 52


    Lily knew she would be rejected but did not expect to be turned down this quickly. Jenny Thorn’s office


    door was shut tight, and her assistant would not let Lily in. She imed Jenny was currently in a


    meeting and that non-permanent staff could not enter. Half an hour of waitingter, Lily realized that


    Jenny’s meeting would not end anytime soon. Instead of simply waiting outside, she opted to enter the


    room unannounced.


    Jenny’s assistant did not expect Lily to barge into the room, so she was helpless in stopping Lily and


    could only follow behind, yelling, “Ms. Thorn, she…” “Who gave your permission to enter?” Jenny


    nced briefly at Lily andmented in a crude tone, “There’s a meeting going on here. Unauthorized


    personnel should get out!”


    “I’ve officially joined Rebirth as permanent staff. On that ount, I’m allowed to join the meeting as a


    staff member for this project, not just some unauthorized personnel,” Lily borated while walking


    toward an unupied chair and sitting down.


    Jenny stared at her with disapproving eyes. “What does it matter if you’re a permanent staff member?


    As long as I deem you unfit for my team, you’ll never be epted for this project.” Everyone else at the


    conference table quickly lowered their heads, pretending to be preupied with something other than


    the palpable tension in the room. They have all heard about the rumors circling Lily Christian. They


    knew that their boss, Jenny, was not happy with Lily. However, Jenny had no choice but to ept Lily


    as it was under the orders of their director that Lily was to join their department. In their eyes, Lily was a


    controversial figure with a troublesome past and dubious skills. Why did their director force Lily to join


    the team against his most capable subordinate’s objections? It could only mean that something was


    going on between him and Lily.


    Regardless of Lily’s working abilities, she clearly had quite a talent with men. It was surprising to them


    how easily she could manipte their director. “Okay then, what should I do to win your approval? I’m


    willing to ept any challenge,” Lily said, shrugging casually. Just as Charles had mentioned, Jenny


    had a short fuse and was always frank. However she was not a malicious person and excelled at her


    job. It was best to resolve any issues Lily and Jenny had up front, as they would need to work together.


    Otherwise, they would always be at odds.


    Honestly, Lily would much rather deal with Jenny, as Jenny was a genuine person. Instead of


    pretending that she liked you and then stabbing you in the back, Jenny was more likely to confront Lily


    directly if she was unhappy with something. Unlike the underhanded ways of Nathaniel and Mnie,


    Lily preferred someone ‘mean’ on the surface, like Jenny.


    “Pfft!” Jennyughed as she nced at Lily with taunting eyes, obviously not believing in Lily’s abilities,


    “Talk is cheap. Are you sure you’re up for the challenge? There’s no backing out,” her lips finally gave


    way to a small smile, but a mocking one.


    Lily nodded with determination, “I’m a woman of my word. Suppose I seed in whatever challenges


    you throw at me. In that case, you’ll have to allow me into your project and agree to


    work together. Deal?”


    “All right, and if you fail, you’ll go to Mr. Will, quit, and leave Rebirth!” Jenny remarked sternly as the


    room wentpletely silent.


    However, Lily did not back down, “Deal!”N?velDrama.Org owns all content.
