“Miss Lynwood, I was a little too harsh in the meeting just now. I hope you don’t mind, but I didn’t mean to doubt your capabilities. I was just considering the best for the company.”
Although that was what came out of her mouth, Elspeth could tell what was on her mind. With Elspeth as the vice president, Alaina was afraid that she would rack her brain for ways to chase her out of the company. I’m really not that free, though.
anything to you.”
Elspeth put on a faint smile.
“Also, no worries about all the drama. Just like you said, considering what’s best for the company, we should maintain the status quo.
“You’re right, Miss Lynwood. By the way, you had a lot of contacts when you were the director of the Design Department, right? Can you…”
Hearing that, Elspeth understood Alaina’s intention. So, she was beating around the bush for so long for the contacts on my list.
“It’s been too long. I don’t even remember what contacts I had…. Aren’t you the director of the Design Department now, Miss Sullivan? Meeting new people. shouldn’t be a lot of work for you,”
replied Elspeth in a perfunctory tone as she patiently typed on her laptop.
“How is it not? Can you please look for a little while longer, Miss Lynwood? I can’t contact some of the people…”
Alaina was so mad she was gnashing her teeth. If it weren’t for the fact that Elspeth had the resources and contacts that an ordinary person couldn’t get, she wouldn’t talk to her so politely; she would have already left with a long face.
“What? There are actually people you can’t reach? You’re so smart and talented, and you even graduated from the best university in Damoria. How can it be possible? Quit being modest.”
With a hand propping up her head, Elspeth looked at Alaina with an engrossing gaze. Now, let’s see what you got in store for me, Miss I-graduated-from-the-best-university.
When Alaina heard that, she was ashamed to ask for her favor again, so she glared at her and left furiously.
“You’re really something else, Miss Lynwood. Alaina always acts like a harmless little flower, but she actually deceives others for their sympathy and compassion with her thorns. In fact, everyone knows how she behaves in private. If it isn’t because she’s the director of the Design Department now, no one will bother talking to her at all.”
The colleague beside Elspeth showed admiration when she saw that Elspeth made Alaina leave with her words.
This aroused Elspeth’s interest, so she asked,
“Oh? What is she usually like?”
After looking left and right and seeing that no one was listening, only then did the colleague say in a low voice,
“Alaina is the daughter of the Sullivan Corporation. Although she always puts on an innocent and adorable look, she’s very good at ordering people around in private. When she talks to the male colleagues, she’ll give them nicknames and talk to them coquettishly, but when she talks to the girls, she orders them around arrogantly. She’s super double standard. Very few of us actually like her, other than those men who are hooked, falling so badly into her spell.”
Elspeth nodded and didn’t think much about it. She knew that Alaina wasn’t a good person, but since everyone else knew that, it made her feel more at ease.
Just when she thought the world was back to peace and she could focus on her work again, a scream suddenly broke the silence.
“Which one of you is Elspeth? Step forward! I want to see which fox dares to hook up with my husband at work!”
was a woman in her thirties standing there. So, she asked,
“I’m Elspeth. What can I do for you?”
When the woman saw Elspeth’s exquisite face and felt her refinement, she was stunned at first. Then, jealousy rose from the bottom of her heart.
“So, you’re Elspeth, huh? You sl’t! Why did you hook up with my husband?!”
With that pretty face, she’s definitely a sl’t!
“Firstly, I didn’t hook up with your husband. Secondly, I don’t even know who your husband is. Do you have the wrong person?”
Elspeth was so confused by her words, but with her grace, she still asked politely.
Despite this, the woman went crazy. When she heard Elspeth’s reply, rage flowed through her ? like lava, and she stepped forward to grab Elspeth’s shirt.
“I’m going to see how much longer you can deny! You seduced my husband, making him stop coming home for so many days, but you still dare to pretend to be innocent? I’m gonna tear your shirt apart and show everyone your true self!”
Elspeth had some skills in fighting, so that woman couldn’t even get near her. Instead, the woman’s wrists were tightly gripped, rendering her unmovable.
As soon as the woman noticed that she wasn’t a match for Elspeth, her knees buckled, and she started sobbing on the ground.
“Where’s the justice? Even a mistress can bully the legal wife now! Is there still justice in this world?!”
At this moment, everyone in the office started whispering to one another, discussing Elspeth being a mistress.
Seeing this scene unfold from the corner, Alaina smirked with satisfaction. I really want to see how she gets out of this.
Many employees in the company knew Elspeth, and they could roughly remember that there was a man who turned up out of nowhere, saying that Elspeth was his wife. In the end, he just made a fool out of himself, but this time… looking at how desperate that woman was crying, she really might have been cheated on.
All the colleagues had a wait-and-see attitude, but only Elspeth stood alone, not far from them, with a calm face as though she wasn’t bothered at all.
After crying for some time, the woman noticed that she was being watched like a monkey in a zoo. Fright took over her, so she stopped crying and swiftly got up from the ground.
“What excuse do you have, huh? You’re the one who seduced my husband first. Why are you quiet? Are you guilty?”
When Elspeth saw the woman bawling, she knew that this person wasn’t purposely causing a scene maliciously. Her husband had most likely cheated on her.
“Tell me. Who’s your husband?”
She was a little troubled. It seems like I need to deal with another person’s family problem again.
“My husband is the key person in your company and the leader of the Technical Department, Evan Steward!”
After she imitated the words that her husband said every time he returned home, it elicited an unexpected burst of laughter.
“What are y’all laughing at? What’s so funny?”
She had a southern drawl, and though her words. were comprehensible, her tone sounded unsophisticated.
Instantly, the employees started whispering.
“Mr. Steward looks so serious on the outside. I didn’t know that he has a wife.”
“He even blew his own horn in front of his wife. That’s hilarious,”
“I feel bad for his wife. She’s been fooled so badly. Pity her.”
Meanwhile, Elspeth took a deep breath before asking,
“Are you really married to Evan Steward?”
Realizing that she was being doubted, the woman raised her voice.
“Of course, it’s true. If you don’t believe me, I can return home now and grab our marriage certificate.”
“It’s okay. There’s no need for that. I believe you.”
Elspeth shook her head.
“But I still need to tell you this. I don’t know Mr. Steward, and neither do I have his number or follow him on any social platform.”
With disbelief written on her face, the woman gasped a little.
“How is that possible? I saw him DM you on Instagram that night when he came home drunk. It was your name in the chat box. I
When Elspeth heard that, she arched her brows.
“What happened then? Didn’t you confront him?”
“Of course, I didn’t! My husband is a hardworking and conscientious man. So, it must have been you who seduced him first. I’ve read the messages, and the one who starts texting first is always you!”
Elspeth didn’t know how to react.
“To be frank, I’ve never met Mr. Steward. But, Mrs. Steward, you can try asking my colleagues whether I have anything to do with him.”
