Female Novel
Chapter 1748
I stood there as usual while smiling, wanting to see if she had anything else up her sleeve.
Estella's voice was getting smaller and smaller, barely louder than a mosquito’s buzzing. After a moment, a sobbing sound came faintly from thespacious corridor. Looking carefully, as expected, Estella's body was shaking, as if she had been greatly wronged.
She muttered, "Miss Reid, I'll gladly take anything if you wish to punish me. But please don't make light of the company’s business. I'll send thedocuments for Mr. Roberts to sign first, and then I'll come back to help you, if you insist..."
If one looked carefully, they would see a few sparkling tears sliding down her face, delicate and sorrowful.Unfortunately, she was no Ophelia. I did not feel sorry, but instead found her rather laughable.
I said, "Oh, Miss Zanes... If you didn't mention it, I would have forgotten that Hendrix used to be too focused on his work to take care of himself. It'slunchtime now, so he can take the opportunity to rest and recuperate. As his secretary, you're bringing work to him during his rest. Have you everconsidered whether he can handle it? If Hendrix overexerted himself, can you afford to take responsibility. Miss Zanes?"
I walked to her while I was speaking. When I finished speaking, Miss Zanes raised her head and wanted to refute me. Our eyes met, and when Ilocked into her red eyes, my gaze became even more unyielding. I didn't try to avoid her and instead, I questioned her.
A tigress couldn't hold back, lest she was taken as just a harmless cat.
Estella's expression was obviously stunned for two seconds. She then took a step back and pulled away from me. She said stubbornly, "I am certainlyvery considerate for Mr. Roberts’ health, I..."
"You what?" I noticed that she grasped the lunch box in her hand, and my tone became more aggressive.
Estella knew very well that I hadseen that lurch box many times. Ifshe daredto admit that she had = >been delivering food to Hendrix al?this time, it would mean that shewas prelentious woman, covetingHeAdrix since long before, Contentbelongs to NovelDrama.Org «
"Nothing." Estella reluctantly looked away, her exasperated look covering up all her previous weakness.
"What's going.on?’ Evan'sappearance Was a little sudden. Hehad probably been here since just ._Now. After istening for a while, hesdecidedo come forward. He said toEstellain a cold tone, "Why don'tknow that Mr. Roberts has aniEportant document to deal withnow?" Content belongs toNovelDrama.Org
Estella bit her lip and finally showed a trace of panic. Facing Evan, who was firm and tough, she could not say a word
"Wow, I guess someone just got carried away in acting!" Freya gloated and leaned against the office wall. She locked like she was having fun, whichwas comparable to Aaron's notorious mockery.
Estella's face flushed red, and she had nothing to say.
Evan didn't pay much attention to her. He tured around and got to the point. "Miss Reid, what are you doing here? Perhaps you need something asthe director of the company?”Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
Evan was really smart; I was impressed. Estella was about to put me below her position, so he, as Hendrix's special assistant, addressed me as thedirector. He respected my status in a clever way.
Someone in the board of directors should have the prestige of being treated as such
I looked at him expressionlessly andnodded. "It's agmall matter. Freya'scompany was just established, so Iwanted te.have her learn from us. Ithought that Miss Zanes was the:best option to ask for help, singe shealways seemed so kind and friendly.Sat-came especially to asker forHer assistance. I didn't expect that Iwould actually disturb her work. Iguess I picked the wrong time tocome over." Content belongs toNovelDrama.Org
Everything in the world depended on money and prestige. A small office assistant humiliated a director, and even dared to pretend to be pitiful. Iwanted to see just how much pride and power Estella could afford in Roberts Group.
