After the party, Lina immediately had Renee retrieve all of Gia’s information and send it to Abigail.
Renee, slightly tipsy and starting to act like Toph, typed on the keyboard while feigning a pitiful expression with wide,
watery eyes. “Lina, no way! Are you planning to make Abigail deal with her?
“Cuz, you’ve always been so kind!
“This move is really cruel!”
Lina was taken aback and couldn’t help but wince as if she was about to cry.
As soon as Renee finished speaking, she cunningly pressed the Send button, wearing a mischievous smile like a little
fox.
“Cuz, how do you think Abigail will handle her?”
Lina burst into laughter and imitated Renee’s tone. “Renee, you’re becoming mischievous too! It’s not ‘deal with’.

The two cousins couldn’t contain their laughter any longer and embraced each other, laughing heartily.

The next day, Gia knocked angrily on Lina’s office door. “Lina, what is the meaning of this? Why did you transfer me
to Abigail?”
Lina was engrossed in looking at design sketches and didn’t even lift her eyes.
Sitting across from her, Renee smirked at Gia and asked coldly, “Ms. Chapman, who are you speaking to?”
Gia paused before blurting out, “Lina!”
“Are you mistaken?” Renee stared at her. “My cousin is your superior, and you’re just an intern. How dare you
address your superior by name?”
Gia pouted but remained silent. She then looked at Lina and weakly called out, “Lina…”
Only then did Lina raise her head, her eyes devoid of any emotion as she regarded Gia as if she were a stranger.
“Lina, your cousin might have some misunderstanding about me.”
“I believe my cousin is correct.” Lina smiled coldly. “We used to be best friends and classmates, and I acknowledge
that. But even if we have a close personal relationship, this is a professional environment. Our conduct should
adhere to the company’s rules and regulations!”
“You—”
“I am your superior. Even if you struggle to understand my position, you should at least address me as ‘Ms. Jenner’!
“When Mollie was here, did you call her Aunt Mollie? Didn’t you also address her as Ms. Chapman?
“Hah! You were respectful toward Mollie, but you act as you please when it comes to me?” Lina walked over and
lightly patted Gia’s shoulder. “Ms. Chapman, this is a major breach of workplace etiquette. Please keep it in mind!”
Gia clenched her fists, her expression ugly. She thought that mentioning her relationship with Jacob would make

To her surprise, it didn’t work with Lina!
Gia took a deep breath and forced a smile.
Gia refused to give up and said, “Lina… Jacob asked me to have lunch. He’s usually here for me at noon. If I
become Abigail’s assistant, I won’t have as much free time during lunch…”
“Do we have so much free time when we’re all working now?” Lina crossed her arms, raising an eyebrow. “Gia, if
Mr. Welsh has you in mind, he’ll make time to keep you company no matter how busy he is!”
“Exactly!” Renee chimed in, smiling as well. “Cuz, is the world already changing? This is the first time I’ve seen
someone pick their job!”
“You…” Gia was at a loss for words and could only accept the arrangement.
“The job with Abigail won’t exhaust you.” Lina chuckled. “As long as you’re attentive, proactive, and can anticipate
and handle tasks in advance, you’ll be an excellent assistant.”
“Alright, I understand,” Gia replied glumly.
