Female NovelChapter 132
No one had expected her to get a good husband with a caring mother–in–law. Most importantly, shenow looked more beautiful than ever, so it was hard for the others to not envy her.
Aurelia wanted to end the conversation, but Kimberly’s words led others to keep throwing questions
at her.
Millie was completely ignored.
For the entire morning, she had bathed in attention. After being just an ordinary girl for 20 years, shefinally had a taste of what it was like to be in the spotlight.
Yet, Aurelia’s appearance had put her back in her place.
She bit her lip in resentment and darted out of the office. Standing by the window at the end of thecorridor, she took her phone out and texted Jackson once again.
None of her texts had been replied to.
Did Jackson not like her? But if that was the case, why would he buy her so many things?
Millie was so focused on her phone that she didn’t notice Kimberly approaching.
“Millie, are you alright?”
Millie feigned a casual attitude and turned to smile at Kimberly. “I’m fine. Why won’t I be?”
“That’s good. They were just joking. Don’t take it personally. Aurelia probably doesn’t know that you’llbe dressing up so beautifully today. Maybe that’s why she dressed up today too. Everyone likes looking
pretty, after all.”
Kimberly had always been great with her words and she could see through the likes of Millie.
Millie was short–sighted and the calmer she appeared, the more hysterical she actually was deepdown.
At a moment like this, she simply needed a little push to get suspicious.
Indeed, Kimberly was right.
Millie gritted her teeth. “How could she not know? She even asked who bought these for me thismorning.”
Kimberly became nervous. “Did you tell her?”
“Of course not. She’s already married. What’s the point of asking about someone else’s boyfriend?”Millie said impatiently.
Kimberly relaxed a bit. In their current situation, Millie was even less likely to spill the beans.
“So, she knew, huh? Then, why did she come to the company dressed like this? Wasn’t she supposed

to take the day off to accompany her mom during the surgery?
“She rushed to One Technology this morning, and I was scared. She wanted to take the credit for mywork. And since the company arranged it, I couldn’t do anything about it.”
“She went to One Technology?” Millie asked in surprise.
“Yeah, she snatched the contract to sign her name on it. She even said I copied her plan. It soundsabsurd. If I really copied her idea, why would the boss agree to send me to One Technology? With Bermaking a scene, I’m afraid she’ll become our supervisor in the future.” Kimberly sighed.
Millie was stunned for a moment. Although she was not very savvy in the workplace, she couldunderstand some of what Kimberly said.
This time, Zachary and Kimberly must have had some connection with Aurelia regarding the proposalthey brought to One Technology.
The question of who copied who was not that important. What mattered was who the boss sided with
The proposal would belong to whoever the boss sided with, and they would be the future vice director.
Millie simply couldn’t stand the idea of Aurelia having everything she could ever want whileembarrassing her. She was so angry that she couldn’t think clearly, and she snorted
“She keeps saying how worried she is about her mom, but as soon as she thinks she’ll lose credit, sheruns over to stir up trouble. She even told me not to be too eager for success. She’s just saying onething and doing another. Why should she get to be the vice director?”
“The contract has already been signed. There’s nothing we can do now, unless …Forget it, you’re hergood friend. Why am I telling you all this? Don’t accuse me of sowing discord later. I’m going back towork.”
Kimberly was not in a hurry. She turned and left, took a few steps, then stopped and looked back atMillie.novelbin
“Millie, don’t send messages to Jackson anymore,” she added on purpose.
As soon as she heard Jackson’s name, Millie’s expression changed. She stepped forward and grabbedKimberly’s arm.
“Why are you telling me not to message him? Did he say something to you? Tell me.”
