Mollie’s chuckle resonated lightly as she spoke. “So, I’ve heard your boyfriend comes from a wealthy family? Well, if
he isn’t rich, you might as well break up with him! The Thompsons are newcomers to this city, but our big boss, Mr.
Thompson, has strong connections with the four major families of Centrolis! Especially the Hamertons…
“If you can win over one of the Hamerton heirs, you’ll live a life of luxury forever!”
Gia couldn’t help but recall Zuko’s intimidating face and his seemingly dangerous fists. She took a deep breath,
forcing a smile, and replied, “I have a great relationship with my boyfriend, really…”
Mollie scoffed, glancing at her. She didn’t think Gia—a naive girl from a small town who had never seen the world—
could handle it.
“Alright, get back to work! We’ll discuss work-related matters and interpersonal relationships in the future.”
“Okay,” Gia winced. “Thank you in advance, Aunt Mollie!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe quickly left, her heart pounding with annoyance and speechlessness toward Mollie’s snobbishness. She didn’t
want to be dragged down by this idiotic aunt of hers! Offending Lina would only bring endless trouble!
But how could she mend her relationship with Lina right now…
Gia pursed her lips, pacing back and forth in the fire escape corridor.
Through the glass door, she spotted Lina and Renee walking toward the data room, deeply engaged in a discussion
and holding architectural drafts in their hands.
Gia quietly followed them, hiding to the side, unnoticed by the two.
They searched the data room, seemingly unable to find what they were looking for. When they turned around, they
ran into someone they didn’t want to see.
Mollie’s cough echoed throughout the entire floor.
“What are you two doing here instead of being at your workstations during work hours!?”
Renee rolled his eyes, chuckling to herself. “Ms. Chapman has extraordinary surveillance skills… Cuz, do you think
she was a surveillance camera in her previous life?”
“No, she must have been a stalker… Only a stalker could have such a talent!” Lina’s lips moved slightly.
“Hahaha…”
“What are you two doing? What are you talking about!?” Mollie suddenly raised her voice. “Chattering away… you
two…”
“Ms. Chapman, we’re not slacking off during work hours,” Lina calmly replied. “We came to the information room to
find Mr. Sam’s previous design works and learn from them.”
“Heh! Learn?” Mollie’s disdainful look was evident. “You two don’t need to! Mr. Sam’s works are not meant for
everyone to understand.”
“It’s precisely because we don’t understand that we want to learn.” Lina smiled lightly. “According to you, Ms.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmChapman, you understand his designs?”
“Lina, of course, Ms. Chapman can understand them!” Renee innocently chimed in. “How can a big company like
the Thompson Group have a project department manager who doesn’t understand the field?”
“Exactly, you make a valid point!” Lina nodded hurriedly. “So, Ms. Chapman, you must be able to explain these
design sketches to us!”
Mollie couldn’t hold back her fury. It was clear they were mocking her!
Design sketches were like hieroglyphics to her. Her expertise lay not in technical aspects but in flattery and reaping
benefits.
Just a moment ago, she nearly choked in anger from listening to their duet.
“Not doing your work during work hours…” Mollie struggled to catch her breath. “Salary deduction! No bonuses this
month. All will be deducted!”
Lina and Renee snorted coldly, ready to argue with her.
But just then, a voice from the entrance interrupted them. “Ms. Chapman, please don’t do this!”
Lina and Renee looked up, the former pausing with clenched fists at her side.
