"You dare talk to like that, are you looking for death?" Nathan’s eyes narrowed dangerously.
If it weren’t Cari who said those words, he would have already had soone throw her out.
Listening to the man’s words, Cari smirked, casually combing through her hair, and said, "Vice President, the loss this ti is significant, I think there’s no better way, White Orchid is not a big company."
At this point, she paused, her eyes carrying a hint of provocation: "What? Or are you, Vice President, afraid of them?"
Nathan frowned, his eyes also filled with confusion, what’s with this woman today? Was she on explosive pills?
"What’s wrong with you today?"
The man couldn’t help but voice his confusion, his tone becoming softer.
"Vice President, you’re really forgetful today, this isn’t sothing I’m handling alone, there’s also Manager Wang, you know, the tasks I take care of have never gone wrong."
Then, Cari continued with a hint of anger: "Manager Wang has been targeting for a long ti now, you know that, anything that goes wrong can’t solely be blad on ."
"When did I know she was targeting you?" Nathan said and realized sothing seed off, so he rephrased, "When did she start targeting you?"
"Why are you asking sothing you already know, Vice President? Isn’t Manager Wang trusted by you? Though as an assistant, I’m not her match, but I’ve done my best in this matter."
...
Honestly, Nathan had never seen Cari like this before, it seed like she was sulking, yet also seed like she was complaining to him.
He suddenly felt a pang of heartache, and at the sa ti, began to feel suspicious of Manager Wang.
Manager Wang was his forr woman, but he was long over that, and her jealousy was nothing to be underestimated.
"Feeling wronged?"
Faced with the man’s inquiry, Cari sneered, "How dare I?"
"Alright, co here, be good."
Only after nestling into his embrace did Cari finally breathe a sigh of relief. Nathan’s current trust in her was genuine, but only temporary; she needed to find a scapegoat.
...
――― The next day.
Moonlake Villas.
Early in the morning, Elliana Lyle woke up to see a piece of news about herself, or rather, others not knowing it was her.
[A thief broke into White Orchid Company, one person is now caught by the police, another is still being sought.]
The picture included her figure, but it was a blurry silhouette, Tawny was caught, and below there was a video.
In the video, she saw Tawny’s true appearance.
A handso young lad, the typical good-looking yet seemingly sickly type.
When questioned by the police, Tawny answered cheerfully.
Police: "Who was with you?"
Tawny smiled and said, "We were just stealing paper to sell, didn’t steal any money."
Police: "Where is the person who was with you now?"
"I don’t know, I don’t know her."
The ssage continued below: The man feigned madness in front of the police, and currently, the other man’s whereabouts are unknown.
Tawny wasn’t pretending to be mad; he was genuinely foolish.
However, they probably wouldn’t find her as there were no surveillance caras near White Orchid’s entrance, so it was impossible to eliminate suspects one by one, and she had been very careful in her actions.
Although she thought this way, she was still a bit guilty, but this was news from the day before yesterday, with no updates since.
[Elliana and influencer Dira appeared together, distorted by beauty filters, with Dira captioning: A star isn’t prettier than .]
This news wasn’t sothing she stumbled upon; it was sent by Tiana Harris.
Tiana: "Hoist with her own petard, the internet is full of people criticizing her."
To be honest, she wasn’t in the mood to care about such trivial matters, as long as no major rumors were being spread about her, she couldn’t be bothered to manage it.
Cat: "Don’t mind it, I’ve received the script, I’ll have a good look first, you should too."
Tiana: "Alright, Elliana, you go ahead, I’ll take a break; we’re starting filming soon."
Cat: "Ah?"
Tiana: "I have a little maid role, only in one episode, after filming, I won’t be looking for these roles again, I’ll go back and study the script well."
...
――― Four in the afternoon.
"Little Sprout."
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Elliana, who was nestled on the sofa on the first floor reading a script, imdiately looked over.
When she saw the visitor, her almond eyes brightened, as if filled with stardust.
At the doorway walked in an extraordinarily handso woman, in a white T-shirt, cargo shorts, carrying a military bag, looking both cool and stylish.
It was indeed Hannah Collins.
"Hannah!" She got up and without hesitation ran towards Hannah, throwing herself into her arms.
Perhaps the impact was too strong, Hannah took a step back, hugged her, and ruffled her hair with a smile, asking, "Little Sprout, did you miss ?"
"Yes." She answered honestly what she thought.
Maybe it was since Hannah ca to her rescue; she had developed an inexplicable fondness for Hannah, as if Hannah was her sister.
After the joy, she frowned slightly, puzzled: "Hannah, why did you co?"
"Silly." Hannah pinched her nose gently, answering indulgently, "I’m on vacation, ca over as soon as I returned. By the way, where’s Norman Bennett? Been calling but he hasn’t picked up."
Elliana: "..."
Releasing her arms from around Hannah, her smile vanished from her face.
She almost forgot, Hannah was still her romantic rival, asking for Norman as soon as she arrived, she thought Hannah ca to see her.
"Hannah, let tell you, Norman and I have registered for marriage, you have no chance."
Seeing Little Sprout’s slightly proud look, Hannah couldn’t help but chuckle, crossing her arms and smirking, "Hmm, just because you’re married doesn’t an you can’t divorce, how are you sure I have no chance?"
Elliana was taken aback, her little face puffed up, "Norman won’t divorce , even though I like you, if you’re relentless with your intention, I’ll..."
"Haha~ What will you do?" Hannah really wanted to tease Elliana, with her huffy little self, looking like a kitten.
"I’ll..." Elliana thought for a long ti, but couldn’t co up with anything suitable, proving she really couldn’t do anything to Hannah.
When hard doesn’t work, go soft!
Imdiately, she hugged Hannah’s waist with a playful grin, coquettishly saying: "Hannah, don’t compete with for Norman, you’re so excellent; many people like you."
The skill of changing expressions learned to the essence.
"Not falling for it." Hannah rcilessly refused.
Elliana paused, then asked, "Then what are you falling for?"
"Not falling for anything."
Not falling for it, Elliana released her hands, lifting her face arrogantly, "You have no chance anyway."
Just as she intended to return to the sofa, Hannah quickly swept her into her arms, those eyes with a hint of amusent watching her, and an undesired tone teased: "Why do I feel like I have a great chance, hmm?"
"... Hannah! You’re so annoying! Let go! I’m busy, no ti for you!" Elliana struggled a couple of tis, obviously to no avail.
"Alright, alright, just teasing you, taking it seriously." Perhaps realizing Elliana was serious, Hannah had to comfort her.
