As Damara left the office, she encountered a woman carrying a cup coffee. of Damara stepped to the side, but the woman dressed extravagantly with heavy makeup, pretended to stumble as she passed by Damara.

She furrowed her brows, seeing that things weren’t going according to her script. “A tissue probably won’t clean it up.” “Then think of another solution. Or you can buy me an outfit online. I have important work to deal with and don’t have time to go home and change.” Adeline’s face darkened. Couldn’t this woman read people’s expressions?

Adeline was trembling with anger. It was the first time since she came to Robinson Group that someone treated her this way. “You!” She raised her hand to slap Damara. But her hand was caught by Damara. With a bit of force, Damara made Adeline frown. “Let go of me! Security! Where are the security guards?” As she finished speaking, Abner’s office door suddenly opened. Adeline’s eyes lit up, and she forcefully shook off Damara’s hand.
