“*sshole!”
“What did you say?” ric squinted menacingly, displeased.
His icy tone snapped Peter back to reality at once, and thetter though
he was doomed. Wasn’t I only ranting in my mind? How did I end up
blurting it out?!
That said, as exasperated as he was about himself, he countered it in tw
shakes, given that he was already a seasoned veteran. “I’m sorry, Mr.
Cadogan. I wasn’t referring to you. It’s just that I watched a cheesy soap
opera with my motherst night, and the male lead was a total, *sshole!”
Yes, that’s right. Exin it like this!
Cheesy soap opera? ric frowned and stared at Peter with displeasure.
“You’re telling me this is what you have in your head during work hours.”

Huh, says the man who h ooks up with other women during work hours. So
what if that’s what I have inside my head?!
Of course, Peter wouldn’t dare think out loud anymore.

“No, sir. It just popped into my head on my way here. I swear, the drama is
super cheesy, and the male lead is seriously revolting. He keeps going
back and forth between the two women. Tell me that’s not a typical
*sshole, Mr. Cadogan.”
“I don’t have time for your nonsense. Get this acquisition proposal sorted
out,” ric ordered while handing Peter a folder, unaware of his
connection to the *sshole’ and two women Peter referred to.
Despite cussing ric, Peter knew work was still work, and it had to be
done. So, he picked the folder up and huffed, “Got it.”
That tone… ric couldn’t help but look up at Peter only to find thetter
ring daggers at him.

They had worked together for so many years, but when had Peter ever
looked at him with such eyes?
At that, ric squinted his eyes and asked, “Peter, don’t you think you’re
directing your animosity toward the *sshole on TV onto me?”
“Oh, I am.” Peter quirked his lips. “You won’t believe it, Mr. Cadogan. That
*sshole looked very much like you. That’s why I’ll think of the *sshole.
whenever I see you.”
ric was rendered speechless. What could he say about being
associated with a soap opera? That he had a superb assistant?
“So, you can’t me me, Mr. Cadogan. me the actor who looks nearly
identical to you. No, so be it that you two look identical, but he also does
sh*tty things! Don’t you think it’s absolutely absurd that he goes back and
forth between two women?!”
As dim as ric could get, he gradually came around after observing

Peter’s behavior, and he narrowed his eyes dangerously at the assistant
at once.
“Are you saying I’m an *sshole?”
“What?!” Peter denied dramatically at once. “When have I ever said
anything about you? I’m talking about the *sshole on TV!”
ric stayed silent, and Peter acted as though it just hit him. “I see, Mr.
Cadogan. You don’t think I’m actually implying you’re the *sshole, are you?
How dare I?! Miss Johnson might frequent your office and hang out with
you, but I believe nothing is going on between you two, and you wouldn’t
do anything to betray Miss Selwyn like that *sshole from the TV. Am I right,
or am I right?
The veins on ric’s forehead throbbed as he listened to Peter’s
insinuation, and he interjected when he had enough. “Looks like you have
quite a lot of time on your hands.”

Five minutester, Peter left ric’s office with a stack of files and
dejection.
He nced at the work he would have toplete for the next three days
because of his insinuation and sighed. Should’ve just kept my mouth shut.
But whenever Peter thought about Miss Selwyn’s pregnancy and how she
couldn’t tell Mr. Cadogan about it because of his unclear rtionship with
udia, he felt a raging anger burn inside him.
Just imagine the pain Miss Selwyn is going through…
As such, Peter decided to continue calling ric an *sshole even if the
Victoria, who was oblivious to all of this, was still working on her tasks.
However, she grew listless soon after, repeatedly yawning in front of the

Yasmin happened to catch her yawning when she brought Victoria her
beverage, and she quickly offered, “Are you tired, Miss Victoria. Why don’t I
take over for you?”
Her eagerness surprised Victoria, and she couldn’t help asking. “Can you
do it?”
“I’ve learned a lot from youtely, Miss Victoria. I’m confident I can handle
it.”
Seeing that Victoria remained hesitant, Yasmin simply helped her up and
said, “Go ahead and get some rest, Miss Victoria. I got this.”
Victoria had wanted to turn her down. After all, it wasn’t appropriate for her
to nap during work hours. However, she was pooped. So, she nodded in
agreement in the end. “Alright, I’ll rest for ten minutes.”

“Alrighty!”
With that, Victoria went into her private lounge.

In actuality, given her current status, no one would dare do anything to her
face but only talk behind her back even if she slept for a whole day, not to
mention she was only taking a ten-minute break.
After entering her lounge, Victoria caressed her belly and whispered,
“You’re not only a glutton but also a sloth, huh, little one?”
With that, she grabbed the throw on the couch and drifted to sleep.
Meanwhile, Yasmine worked away at Victoria’s desk.
From now on, I will protect Miss Victoria at all costs! she vowed.

At that, she went out to find Yasmin still at her desk.
At the same time, the young assistant turned around and beamed at
Victoria when she heard noises behind her.
“Good morning, Miss Victoria. How was your sleep? It’s only been an hour.
You should sleep a little longer.” The young woman pulled a chair from the
side and helped Victoria sit down as she spoke, baffling thetter.
“I got you some dessert, Miss Victoria. You must be hungry. Here, have a
little something before lunch.”
Dessert… Victoria nced at the strawberry shortcake Yasmin got her. It
looked delicious. However, she couldn’t help thinking Yasmin’s actions
were suspicious.
“What would you like for lunch, Miss Victoria? I’ll get it for you.”
“Are you guilty of something?” Victoria asked, gazing at the young woman.

Or why would she suddenly behave so attentively? Victoria probed as
such because she was worried Yasmine had overheard Summer’s voice
message.
Sure enough, Yasmin’s countenance turned unnatural at once, and her
gaze averted as well. “N-No. Why would you say that?”
