Chapter 279

The woman didn't seem to be too brave, so when she saw that Pearl was annoyed, she spoke very carefully. "I... I can't comment about that, but the president said you're very stressed out, so he..."

She trailed off because their president wasn't known for showing much concern. Typically, he allowed employees to work, and if they couldn't, they were expected to leave. He didn't pay much attention to their personal situations.

Unable to bear it any longer, Pearl stood up and said to the woman sitting across from her. "I need some fresh air. Please inform the president that I'm taking the day off, and he can deduct it from my salary." With that, she left.

The woman knew she was angry, so she just nodded and helped her convey the message.

In the office, Richard was working with Jenny on some files, so when he heard that, he frowned and said in a cold tone, "Let her go then. I let her get her way too often." Jenny was secretly glad to see Richard angry, but she still said, "Please don't be angry with her. She has always been a proud person, so what you said would annoy her."

"Annoy her? Everyone in the company is proud. I want a company that follows orders. This is not her playground." Richard's expression darkened as he spoke, revealing his disappointment.

"Alright, you shouldn't be so angry. Look, we could plan this season this way..." Jenny quickly changed the topic and pointed at the report, analyzed it, and then turned to see Richard staring at her. "What's wrong, Mister Richard? Is there something on my face?"

Richard snapped back and his eyes refocused. "No. You look a lot like someone I used to know."

"Someone you used to know? You don't seem like the type with a lot of female friends. Do I look like your ex or a childhood. friend?"Jenny teased but realized Richard didn't deny it. "Well, it's an honor to look like your ex." She didn't want to push her

luck because he was still in a foul mood, so they moved on.

Richard sighed seeing how serious she was with work. "Pearl used to be like you, very serious with work She was very confident, like a shiny star casting a shadow on everyone else."

Jenny lowered her gaze, concealing her hidden agenda behind a smile. "I hope I can be as outstanding as my senior, then."

Richard smiled, appreciating her commitment to her work.

"If you put in the effort, you just might." Richard suddenly remembered something and asked, "You said she's your senior. Are you from the same university?"

Jenny saw how Richard was disappointed in Pearl but was interested in her and started feeling proud. "Yes, but I majored in design so I'm not as good as she is." Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Findɴovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Alright. You can go now."

Jenny nodded and left. Rather than heading straight back to her desk, she made her way to the restroom. With everyone absorbed in their work, she took the opportunity to make a call. "Jenny, how's everything going?"

"Mister Mark," Jenny looked at her glossy nails and smiled. "I'm almost done carrying out your plan."
