Chapter 77


    The report was very thin, making it very easy to overlook when it’s stacked with all the documents.


    Sonia looked at the document that Alex had retrieved and forced a smile.


    “The secretaries from Aether are so interesting. You can follow your boss with this level of


    competence? Aren’t you ashamed of yourself?” Nina, who had been ignored all this while, sald with


    an icy attitude. Her tone was high and mighty as she looked at Sonia.


    Sonia was also quite sensitive, able to sense Nina’s unfriendliness. She clutched the seams of her


    clothes and worked hard to straighten her back, working hard to look back at Nina’s hostile re.


    However, she quickly lowered her eyes after a moment and turned around, holding Alex’s sleeve


    and whispering, “I’m sorry, Alex. I couldn’t find the file.”


    Her tone was soft, but there was an embarrassed tone that was mixed inside and couldn’t be


    ignored.

    Alex nodded and slowly said, “It’s not that important, anyway.”


    When he said it was not important, Candice heard it all. Her hands on her legs curled into a fist


    before letting it


    go again.


    The document that Alex said wasn’t important was something she had prepared through the night.


    Sonia’s eyes were already red as she grabbed at Alex’s clothing even tighter, and her lips were


    bing pale.


    She sniffed and shook her head.


    “Alex” Nina could see Sonia’s expression, and her dislike of her was bing very obvious. “Aren’t


    you worried that you’ll make your client angry by taking an intern like her into a meeting?”


    The sneer was too obvious. Sonia couldn’t help but look in her direction as she bit her lips, “Ms.


    Burgess, is it?


    I am Aether’s intern, and it’s my fault for being ipetent. It has nothing to do with Aether.”


    Sonia had an innocent appearance, so one could easily pity her if they saw her teary expression.


    She looked down and then added, “Ms. Burgess, please don’t link my ipetence to Aether. I


    didn’t know


    how Ms. Renault organized it.”


    And then she pushed the problem toward Candice.


    Nina looked at her miserable expression and then turned to Candice, who was sitting there quietly.


    Thetter


    had no expression on her face, as if she had already gotten used to it.


    Candice could feel her looking at her, and she quietly looked back at her.


    Nina clicked her tongue, and her voice became even colder. She red back at Sonia and said,


    “Don’t be so quick to take all responsibility. I never said that it’s your fault.”


    Sonia paused while Nina smiled, as if she didn’t want to talk to her anymore. And then, she


    immediately said to Alex, “My mom ising back this afternoon. If you’re thinking of meeting her


    with someone like… this, you can forget about the contract.”


    Nina stood up and then left. Before she left, she even gave Sonia a disdainful re.


    Meanwhile, Sonia frozepletely after being red at. Only when Nina had left did she finally


    regain herposure, despite her face being as white as a ghost.


    This time, she did cry as she held Alex’s arm and sobbed. “Alex, am I really that useless?”


    Alex looked down as if he was considering something.


    However, only when he heard her words did she say, “No, you don’t have to worry about what she


    said.”


    Sonia was still feeling very sorry about it all and almost pounced into Alex’s arms. However, she


    paused when her eyes shifted to Candice. As she bit her lips, she said, “When discussing the


    partnership, I think you should still take Ms. Renault along, alright?”


    Candice froze a little, as if Sonia was begging for some favor on her behalf.


    She slowly stood up and then put all the documents that Sonia had messed up into one stack and


    said, ” Organizing documents is a basic skill that a secretary should have. Ms. Summers, your work


    competency requires substantial improvement.”
