Chapter 27 A Rose with Thorns


    Chapter 27 A Rose with Thorns


    Ste pursed her lips, not intending to argue with her.


    Ste was about to walk around Ava, but Ava moved in front of her and blocked her.


    "Don''t think that I don''t know what you''re doing behind the scenes!" Ava said domineeringly, "Ste


    Taylor, you know very well how you got the order!"


    Ste turned to stare at her with big bright eyes that rippled with anger.


    She usually wore a gentle smile and treated people around her kindly. She rarely showed such a cold


    and serious expression.


    But at this moment, Ste seemed to be a different person. Ava could not help but take two steps back.


    "How did I get it?" She paused at every word, "I got it by my own ability! I stayed up all night for a week


    and revised the sales n countless times. Mr. Davis was very satisfied, so he signed and stamped it!


    You haven''t got it for three months, because you are ipetent! Instead of looking for reasons on


    yourself, do you want to me others for working harder than you?"


    "Oh, you worked hard?" Ava stared at her even harder, "You worked hard by getting on the man''s bed!


    Do you think that you can do whatever you want if the director is on your side?"


    "Ava Brown, watch your words! What does this have to do with the director? I hadn''t even spoken


    much to the director before I got this order!"


    "Who knows? Hmph, you had not spoken in the office, but who knows how many times you had had


    ''in-depthmunication'' in private!"


    "You..."


    Ste was so angry that her face was flushed. The quarrel between them attracted many people to


    watch.


    A peacemaker wanted to separate the two of them, but Ava would not budge at all, and Ste was


    unwilling to suffer this kind of humiliation for nothing and insisted on settling this in front of the director.


    Daniel rk hurried over when things came to a stalemate.


    "This is the office, what are you two doing?!" Daniel snapped, "If you want to quarrel, go to the street.


    Since you are in the office, you should work hard!"


    Ava gave him an angry look, turned and left.


    Ste stood where she was. Her lips were tightly pressed, and her cheeks were slightly flushed. Daniel


    dismissed the onlookers and pulled Ste aside.


    "Don''t be angry with Ava," His voice softened, "She has such a bad temper and an arrogant


    personality. She can''tpare to you this time, and she can''t get over it."


    "Even so, she can''t insult others as she likes!"


    "Yes, yes, it''s all her fault!" Daniel narrowed his eyes, with a sinister smile on the corner of his mouth,


    "Ste, I apologize to you for her."


    He raised his hand and patted her shoulder while saying that. Ste came back to her senses and


    quickly dodged.


    She looked up and met Daniel''s eyes. She could not help but feel eerie.


    "No need..." she said in a low voice, "I know Ava is just upset because she lost the order, so I won''t


    take it to heart. But please tell her, if she insults me like this again in the future, I won''t let it go!"


    "Sure!"


    Daniel''s triangr eyes moved around, always focusing on Ste.


    She usually looked quiet and soft, but when she argued with Ava just now, she was really like a rose


    with thorns.


    This kind of impact was new to Daniel, which made his heart itched even more.


    "It''s almost noon," He smiled, "Ste, I''ll treat you to lunch as an apology, don''t refuse!"


    "No need," Ste looked calmly at him, "I brought my own food, so I don''t want to go out for lunch."


    "The leftovers from the night before?" Daniel curled his lips and lowered his voice deliberately, "Ste,


    you are such a beautiful girl, so you shouldn''t eat leftovers..."


    "I only eat my own food," Ste stared squarely at him, "Mr. rk, I will go back to work if there''s


    nothing else. You should go back to your office too lest Ava sees us talking alone and makes trouble


    again."

    "Ste, are you so unwilling to talk to me?"


    Daniel insisted on pestering Ste. When he saw that being soft did not work, he made a new n and


    said to her with a soft smile, "Actually, I don''t invite you alone at noon-there''s a client!"


    Ste stopped in her tracks, her eyes hesitating.


    "It''s a client from Freania. I checked and found that you were the only person in ourpany who


    minored in Freaniese when you were in college. Am I right?"


    Ste''s eyes moved slightly, but she did not answer.


    "Originally, this client is visiting tomorrow. But the flight has been changed and the interpreter I booked


    is not avable today, so... Ste, can you do me a favor?"


    Ste wanted to refuse, but thepany had limited foreign clients, and those who Daniel cared about


    must be good ones.


    If she did not go, they might lose a potential customer.


    Moreover, Daniel was narrow-minded. If she did not go, it would be tantamount to disobeying his


    orders, and he might make life difficult for her in the future.


    Anyway, they were going to a restaurant, and Daniel would not dare to do anything indecent to her in


    public.


    "Ste," Daniel saw that she was wavering, and added in a timely manner, "If we get this deal, you will


    get themission. What do you think?"
