Margaret, whose entire body was drenched with water, immediately shivered angrily.
She slammed the table, stood up, pointed at Taya, and cursed,
“You bitc h! How dare you to splash water on me? Believe it or not, I’ll… Ah!”
Taya splashed another gla*s of water on her face.
Margaret didn’t expect Taya to do it twice. She was stunned for a moment.
Linda and the onlookers in the office were also stunned.
Taya looked at Margaret and said, “It’s one thing for you to gossip in front of our colleagues. But now you’re talking nonsense in front of Ms. Thorin. You’ve gone too far!”
After saying that, Taya picked up the gla*s and shook it before Margaret. “You should be glad I splashed water on you, not sulfuric acid. Otherwise, your old face would have been ruined.”
When Margaret heard the words sulfuric acid, she was so scared that her whole body trembled. She wanted to retort, but she couldn’t.
Taya looked away and turned to Linda, who was standing to the side and didn’t dare to make a sound. “How dare you slander me! Don’t pretend we don’t all know about your ‘dates’ with old men.”
Linda didn’t expect Taya to expose her privacy publi cly, so she immediately got angry. “What do you mean?!”
“Margaret told everyone about your ability.” I don’t need to tell you what it means, do I?”
Linda looked at Margaret in disbelief. “I though your were my friend! Why would you betray me like that?!”
Margaret didn’t expect Taya, who usually held back her anger, to reveal Linda’s matter to so many people.
Margaret was so angry that she stepped forward and raised her hand to slap Taya, but Taya grabbed her wrist.
“If you slap me, I’ll make you lose all your money!”
Margaret was so angry. “It’s just a slap. How can you make me lose all my money?!”
Taya moved closer to Margaret and sneered. “Didn’t you say that I have a lot of financial backers? Any one of them can let you all over.”
After that, Taya pushed Margaret away and left.
Margaret stared at Taya’s back and growled, “Taya, you bitc h, I won’t let you get away with this!”
I pretended not to hear anything and went straight into the bathroom.
Today, I had vented all the humiliations I’d suffered for so long.
I couldn’t describe how it felt to finally put those she-wolves in their places. I should have done this a long time ago, but I’d been too afraid of what they might do to me.
Apparently, when you were dying, you didn’t care about the consequences of putting people who deserved it in their places.
It was invigorating.
Turning the water on, I was about to wash my face when Brielle entered.
“Taya, are you all right?”
Seeing Brielle’s face made me feel a bit more comfortable, and my frustration slowly calmed down so I could get my racing heart back under control.
“I’m fine.”
“Are you sure?”
Brielle’s face was full of disbelief. She knew me the best out of anyone here. She knew I didn’t say anything about my grievances and silently endured them. But I saw the looks she gave when things were said to me or about me.
“I’m fine. Don’t worry about me. You should get back out there. If Margaret can’t find you, she’ll get upset and call you l azy again.”
Brielle was an intern, and she worked for Margaret. Before we fell out with each other, we could get along well on the surface. Now that things had turned out like this, if Margaret saw that Brielle was still close to me, Margaret would definitely play some tricks on Brielle behind her back.
It had not been easy for Brielle to enter Midwest Packs Corporation, and I knew she was looking forward to becoming a full-time employee. She needed Margaret’s approval though, and I thought it better not to get Brielle into trouble.
Brielle seemed to have realized this as well. She hesitated momentarily, but in the end, she still nodded. “Okay, I’ll get back to work.”
I waved my hand and smiled. “I’m okay. Promise.”
Only then did Brielle leave the bathroom.
As soon as she left, the smile on my face faded.
Tara wanted me to be the one to entertain Jackson while he was in Arcadia.
Sometimes, when business partners came to the Midwest Packs Corporation for business trips, the company would indeed send people to “entertain” them.
For example, the people would arrange food, clothing, accommodation, entertainment, etc. This was the treatment that guests who came in to talk about large contracts would get.
And the bidding for the Weston City project was a very large contract.
I had such an unbearable past with Jackson. If I were to shamelessly try to please him again, I would probably be mistaken for still being obsessed with him and deliberately approaching him under the guise of work.
Griffon would also think that I was an ambitious woman who had dared to ignore his warning and continue to seduce his future brother-in-law.
Embarra*sment flooded me when I thought about being misunderstood by Jackson and Griffon.
However, compared to the 1.2 million dollar penalty fee, embarra*sment was nothing.
I took a deep breath, took out my phone, and searched for Jackson’s number.
His a*sistant had sent it to me when I booked the room for him yesterday.
Jackson answered after three rings. His calm and a*sertive voice came from the other end of the line, and a feeling I couldn’t explain washed over me.
“Ms. Palmer, what can I do for you?”
How did Jackson know it was me?
“I saved your number yesterday,” he said, answering my unspoken question.
I got straight to the point, not wanting to put the inevitable off any longer. “Alpha Sterling, Ms. Thorin has asked me to entertain you during your stay in Arcadia on behalf of MPC. Is there anything you would like to see or do?”
“Entertain me?” Jackson’s tone sounded like he was surprised.
After a few seconds of silence, Jackson seemed to have understood something. He replied, “Actually, I didn’t bring my personal a*sistant. Would you be able to help me do something like serving tea?”
Dam n. I’d thought he would refuse-had hoped he would refuse.
I didn’t expect that he would ask me to act as his a*sistant. Wasn’t he afraid that I would have ulterior motives?
Still, I replied obediently. “Absolutely, Alpha.”
Jackson raised his watch and glanced at it. “I have a meeting later. When do you plan to come over, Ms. Palmer?”
After asking for the address, Taya replied, “I can be there anytime.”
Jackson replied with a “well” and hung up the phone.
As soon as he put down his phone, his a*sistant Chloe asked worriedly, “Alpha, Ms. Palmer obviously has an ulterior motive regarding MPC. Why did you agree to let her be your personal a*sistant?”
Jackson remembered that Taya had been indifferent last night; today, she had taken the initiative to entertain him. It was indeed a little strange.
But he was more willing to believe it was because of that photo. Tara mistakenly thought Taya had something to do with him, so Tara sent Taya to entertain him.
And that was why he asked Taya to be his a*sistant just now. He didn’t want her to be put in a difficult position by her boss.
However, Chloe, a blockhead, couldn’t understand what Jackson was saying, so he didn’t explain further. He only said, “I’m short of people.”
Alpha Sterling had brought a lot of people to Arcadia.
Although Chloe was the only a*sistant who had come along, she alone could handle all the trivial matters.
It was apparent that the Alpha had some sort of feelings for that Taya woman. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have saved her and then invited her to dinner.
If she became his personal a*sistant, what would happen to Alpha Sterling in the future…
Thinking of this possibility, Chloe was so anxious that she started to sweat. “Alpha, Ms. Palmer is very dishonest. She was involved with Beta Starke, and now that he and his pack have fallen from grace, she is trying to find another pack to marry into for protection and status. You are her biggest target now, and I think you should stay away from her.”
