    Chapter 47

    In the end, after staring at Victoria’s unaffected expression, Yasmin


    reluctantly took her seat. That being said, she couldn’t help but vent her


    dissatisfaction as she bit her lip and fumed, “Didn’t you hear what they


    said, Miss Victoria? They went too far! I wish I could rip their tongues out.”


    “And?” Victoria asked calmly. “Start a fight just over a few words they said?


    What will they say next? Is it going to be that not only was I forced to eat


    lunch at the cafeteria, but I even got into a fight with the other employees


    at the cafeteria because they hit a raw nerve?”


    Yasmin frowned.


    “That wasn’t my intention, Miss Victoria.”


    “I know that, of course, but do you think you can aplish anything by


    confronting them? Regardless of whether or not you fight back, there’s no

    “Well, I can’t just sit back and listen to others spreading nder about you,


    Miss Victoria!”


    Victoria was quite touched to see Yasmin getting furious on her behalf.


    She never thought that her cowardly–seeming assistant had a dominant


    side to her as well.


    She let out a helpless sigh.


    “It doesn’t quite count as nder.”


    Yasmin’s eyes widened in disbelief. “What are you saying, Miss Victoria?”


    “They’re not wrong. My family went bankrupt and we can’t be of help to


    ric


    “That’s not true…” Yasmin continued to defend Victoria. “You being in the

    they’re saying isn’t true.”

    “That’s enough.” Victoria cut Yasmin off and said, “Just get on with your


    lunch. If you have so much energy, you might as well spend it on learning


    the job.”


    Since Victoria seemedpletely unbothered, Yasmin didn’t want to


    Once they were done, Victoria and Yasmin walked through the crowd and


    left. All the while, Victoria’s expression remained perfectly calm.


    “Look at her acting as if she’s unbothered. It looks as if she doesn’t care


    that Mr. Cadogan’s with another woman right now.”


    “Tch. What do you mean she doesn’t care? But even if she does, would it

    matter? She’d still be abandoned anyway. She might as well keep her cool


    and maintain her dignity.”


    “I bet she’ll start crying her eyes out as soon as she gets back to her


    office.”


    The crowd at the cafeteria continued gossiping.


    s, Victoria was about to disappoint them. When she got back to the


    office, she didn’t have any time to wallow in tears and self–pity. She didn’t


    even have time to dwell on these things that were supposed to upset her.


    There was too much work and she was about to resign soon, so she had


    to find someone to rece her.


    Even though she didn’t n on having anything to do with ric in the


    future, he did help her during her time of crisis, so she wanted to have an


    amicable separation.

    Therefore, the moment the two women got back to the office, Victoria


    began assigning a lot of tasks to Yasmin.


    Yasmin was shocked. “T–That much? What if I can’t finish everything?”


    Victoria didn’t show her any empathy.


    “You’ll have to stayte then.”


    Yasmin kept quiet.


    She dared not say anything, but she didn’t think that Victoria was being


    hard on her either.


    Victoria was the one who hired her and mentored her. When the


    secretaries and assistants in otherpanies went out for business


    meetings, they would have to drink on their superior’s behalf, and


    sometimes, they might even have to bear the brunt of other forms of


    harassment by’unsavory and immoral people at such meetings.

    However, she never experienced any of these things when she followed


    Victoria around.

    Initially, she assumed that the people who were too afraid to touch


    Victoria would target her instead, and sure enough, the first time she went


    to a meeting with Victoria, she was the victim of verbal harassment.


    It was Yasmin’s first foray into the workforce and her first encounter with


    such an incident, but as the other party was a client, she couldn’t show her


    displeasure.


    She was so mad that she turned scarlet, but she couldn’t say anything.


    It was then that Victoria, who was sitting beside her, eyed the other person


    coldly before stating, “If you’re not interested in discussing business, Mr.


    Weasel then we won’t sit here and waste any more time.”


    Victoria pulled a startled Yasmin up with her and left the hotel despite the

    The night breeze blew against them as Yasmin stared at Victoria in shock.


    “I–Is it okay for us to just leave like that, Miss Victoria?”


    Victoria nced at her. “What should we be doing then? Do you want to


    stick around?”


    Yasmin fervently shook her head.


    “N–No.”


    “Exactly. Let’s go.”


    Victoria gged down a cab and left with Yasmin.


    “When you work with me, you don’t need to hold back whenever you


    encounter these things. Otherwise, these sleazy men will keep takina

    Therefore, in the time that Yasmin spent working with Victoria, she barely


    had to suffer any grievances.


    She knew that Victoria had to be giving her a mountain of work to do


    because thetter wanted to train her up. I mustn’t let Miss Victoria down!


    After cheering herself on, she threw herself into her work.


    Knock, knock!

    All of a sudden, there was a knock on the door. Yasmin looked up and saw


    a pretty woman standing there.


    She was wearing a white dress, and her long hair cascaded elegantly


    down her shoulders.


    “Hello, I’m looking for Miss Selwyn.”

    It’s that woman, udia Johnson–the one who stayed in the office with

    Mr. Cadogan when Miss Victoria was having a fever, and the subject of the


    Yasmin’s attitude was cold as she recalled how frequent udia’s visits to


    the office had been, which resulted in Victoria being ridiculed for having


    lunch at the cafeteria.


    “Hello?” udia repeated when she didn’t get a reply.


    Yasmin snapped out of her thoughts and responded curtly, “Do you have


    a reason for wanting to see Miss Selwyn? She’s busy with work right now


    and might not have time to entertain you.”


    udia heard the hostility in Yasmin’s tone and her eyes shed viciously.


    She was just about to retort when a voice rang out.


    “Come in.”

    When udia went in, Victoria was still busy with work. She looked up and


    saw udia walking over with a lunchbox in hand.


    “Are you swamped with work today, Victoria? No matter how busy you are,


    you should still have your lunch. Since you didn’te over, I set some


    food aside for you.”


    udia ced the lunchbox on Victoria’s desk.


    Victoria stiffened and said, “Thanks, but I’ve already eaten.”


    udia lowered her voice.


    “You can’t be worried that I’d harm you, right? I won’t do something as silly


    as that, Victoria. I just brought along some food for you.”


    Victoria eyed her coolly.

    After a pause, Victoria pursed her lips and added, “If you’re so worried


    about it, you can just keep an eye on your ric every day. I won’t be able


    to get close to him if you do that, right?”


    She didn’t want to get close to him anyway.


    udia’s smile faded a little.


    “Do you think I don’t want to? Unfortunately, I can’t enter Cadogan


    Residence yet.”


    “Oh,” Victoria remarked unhurriedly. “You can’t go in, but that doesn’t mean


    you can’t tell him toe out, right?”
