Some colleagues who usually bossed Renee and Lina around stood awkwardly to the side. Lina smiled and
generously distributed the afternoon tea to them.
Amelia glanced at Erin and Kendal, and they all shared the same doubt in their eyes.
“Maybe… her family is really wealthy?”
“What are you talking about!?” Amelia felt guilty. “Look at all this food… No matter how expensive it is, it can’t be
that costly, right? She’s just using one month’s salary to buy people’s favor. Can’t you see that?”
Kendal licked her lips, her eyes fixed on the conference room.
“I… I really want to try it.”
“Then let’s go get some!” Amelia suggested. “She bought so much, and it’ll be a waste if she can’t finish it! Besides,
didn’t she say she bought it for everyone?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtErin hesitated, feeling it wasn’t right. However, the desire to take advantage easily overcame reason.
When they reached the entrance of the conference room, they saw Lina walking out with her arms crossed in front
of her, smiling at them.
Lina stepped aside, allowing them to see the empty conference table. “Sorry, the afternoon tea has all been
distributed.”
“Hah!” Amelia rolled her eyes. “Why pretend when you don’t have the money to buy so much?”
“That’s right!” Erin chimed in. “Lina, what kind of boyfriend did you find? He’s so stingy even with afternoon tea!”
Lina leaned against the door frame, looking at her phone nonchalantly.
“My boyfriend ordered according to the number of people,” she said softly. “But some people here don’t count as
people at all!”
“You…” The three women widened their eyes, their expressions changing instantly. “What are you saying!?”
“I’m saying that we’re exactly three servings short of afternoon tea.” Lina smiled. “You should understand what that
means, right?”
The three of them became furious and glared at her.
“Even if you don’t have the afternoon tea, you should have other things to do with your mouths,” Lina sneered.
“You can try gossiping and guess what my boyfriend does for a living. Otherwise, your lives would be so boring!”
“Lina Jenner!” Amelia crossed her arms with a fierce expression. “You’re just an intern. Is this how you talk to your
senior colleagues?”
“What attitude should I have toward seniors who only know how to discriminate against others?” Lina spoke
seriously. “The Thompson Group is not a place where seniority matters. If you’re incapable and only rely on your
seniority to get by, you’ll be eliminated sooner or later!”
Amelia and her clique had never seen Lina so tough before. They had always thought she was a clumsy and poor

With a look from Amelia, Erin abruptly raised her hand to hit Lina.
However, a reprimanding voice came from the end of the corridor. “What are you doing!?”
Erin quickly withdrew her hand. The sound of high heels approached, and Mollie had a stern expression, with her
eyes glaring at them as if she could kill.
“Hah! Deliveries, afternoon tea, and now even a fight? Do you think the company is a market?”
“Ms. Chapman, it has nothing to do with us!” Amelia rushed to speak. “It’s all because of Lina—”
“I’m not blind. I can see!” Mollie glared at her.
Although she did not particularly like Lina and Renee, Amelia and her clique also gave her a headache. She cleared
her throat, her face strict, and decided to give them a serious punishment.
“All of you go back and write a self-reflection report. Reflect on your behavior and hand it to me tomorrow
morning!”
“Ms. Chapman, we—”
“Go back to your seats right now!” Mollie didn’t give them a chance to speak. “We’ll have a meeting in 15 minutes. I
have an important announcement to make!”
