    Isabe had underestimated Angelina’s determination. She had been left


    waiting in the conference room the entire afternoon. While everyone else was


    slowly leaving work, Angelina still hadn’t shown up. Isabe’s stamina was


    reaching its limit, and with the wounds on her legs, simply standing up was a


    challenge. If I have to…


    Isabe considered using her dangerous backup n, but she quickly


    dismissed the idea. That’s too risky. It would be bad if I can’t handle it. With


    trembling fingers, she turned on her phone and checked the time. It was


    six-thirty in the evening. Everything was bing blurry, and she could


    barely see the time clearly.


    She resisted her dizziness and tried calling the number Nics had given her,


    but she couldn’t reach Jason. He was always on another call, and eventually,


    he turned off his phone. Isabe scoffed. I know what he’s thinking. He doesn’t


    want to take sides between his boss and me, the former head secretary with


    choosing a side.


    She stopped making calls and instead sent a text to Jason’s emergency


    contact. White-cor workers like Jason usually set their second SIM card as


    their emergency contact. He will see the message. After that, Isabe found


    afortable position and leaned back in the chair to sleep. Five minutes


    her eyes.

    If she was right, someone would show up in fifteen minutes. She counted the


    time in her mind. Less than two minutester, she heard the sound of heels


    approaching from outside. Isabe opened her eyes andposed herself.


    She slowly sat up and looked towards the entrance.


    The door swung open. Angelina had changed into her tracksuit, clearly ready


    to leave. “Sorry, I was too busy. I couldn’t find anyone toe and question


    you.”


    Isabe watched as Angelina put on a show. She calmly looked at Angelina


    as if she were a clown, “Your methods are underhanded,” she said calmly, her


    tone more sardonic than sarcastic. There was disdain and scorn in her voice.


    She saw through Angelina easily.


    Angelina shrugged and pulled out a chair. She sat down in front of Isabe,


    showing no guilt. “You told me to find someone else. I didn’t want to leave you


    hanging.”


    Isabe crossed her arms and leaned forward. “You live in Hencher


    Residence, right?”


    Angelina wondered why Isabe was asking that question.


    Isabe chuckled quietly. “Be careful when you’re going home at night.”


    Angelina froze, but then she realized what was happening and clicked her


    tongue. “Are you threatening me?”


    “You’re overthinking it.” Isabe shrugged, still as nonchnt as before, but


    she was as pale as a sheet.


    “Don’t even try to y any tricks here. It’s useless.” Angelina crossed her arms


    and legs. When she saw how pale Isabe was, she felt much better. “You


    think Mr. Shaffer will get rid of me for you? He doesn’t bring personal affairs


    into the workce.”


    Isabe licked her lips and rested her chin on her hand. “How can you be so


    sure he won’t?” She tilted her head to the side and raised an eyebrow, her


    eyes gleaming. “After all, you had to request a transfer because you crossed


    me and couldn’t stay in thepany anymore.”


    Angelina tensed up. Isabe was speaking the truth. Back then, she had


    constantly tried to sabotage Isabe because she wanted to win. In the end,


    the entire office sided with Isabe and turned against her. Seth had


    witnessed everything, but he never intervened. Even though she was no


    longer in the secretaries’ office, she still heard a lot of news. Everyone said


    Seth hadplete trust in Isabe. On the thirty-eighth floor, she was as


    powerful as a vice president.


    Angelina tried to find a weakness, but there was only one. She looked at


    Isabe mockingly. “If he’s so nice to you, why didn’t he marry you?”


    Something gleamed in Isabe’s eyes, but she didn’t show much expression.


    She froze and looked like a perfect painting for a moment.


    Thinking she had gotten to Isabe, Angelina continued her attack. “If Selena


    hadn’t taken your ce, I would have thought you were going to marry Mr.


    Isabe poked the roof of her mouth with her tongue and put on a perfectly


    calcted smile. “How do you know he didn’t ask me to stay at home and


    take care of the kids?”
