Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss!
Chapter 6 In Trouble

The air in the elevator seemed to freeze all of a sudden. Sadie even had goosebumps from coldness.

Micah's slender, godlike figure stood tall, exuding a dominant aura.

Biting her lip, Sadie held her breath. From the mirror, she could see Micah staring at her. His eyes were sharp and piercing, showing an unfathomable coldness! It felt like a lion looking down at its prey!

'Faster, faster, please...' Sadie was more than eager to see the doors open again.

Sadie gazed as the number on the panel slowly changed: 12, 11, 10...

Her body got stiff when she realized that Micah was getting closer and closer to her from behind.

With a ding sound, the elevator finally arrived.

Sadie rushed out of the elevator as soon as the doors opened. Unfortunately, in her desperation to flee, she stumbled and fell with a loud thud right at the doors. She then sprawled out on the floor!

A group of colleagues who had just exited the staff elevator witnessed this scene and let out a burst of exclamations, with many of them stifling their laughter. Sadie wished she could be invisible at that moment. She quickly stood up, covering her face, and ran away.

Micah's gaze had been following her silhouette when they were in the same space. He watched as she fled, and a mischievous curve formed at the corner of his lips.

Sadie thought the welcome party would be at a restaurant, yet it turned out that they gathered at a nightclub! What was worse, Samuel was there, too!

It was for staff members in the Administrative Department, but why did Samuel from the HR department come here?

Sadie was irked, yet she couldn't just drive Samuel out on such an occasion.

Samuel had bonded with all of Sadie's co-workers. They seemed to be getting along. And the table was filled with expensive drinks he ordered.

One of the male colleagues there couldn't help but whisper, "Mr. Brown, this wine costs over 750 dollars per bottle. It doesn't seem right to treat a new colleague like this."

"You guys don't know about her." Samuel laughed. "Sadie is from a wealthy family and has plenty of money. In the past, when she hit the nightclubs, not to mention a few bottles of wine, she could easily foot the bill for the whole place!" "Really?" Several female colleagues were immediately drawn in by the juicy gossip, swarming around Sadie and talking non-stop.

"Sadie, you're the heiress of a wealthy family? I couldn't tell! You seem so low-key."

"It's not like what he said..." Sadie replied.

"It's not?" Samuel cut her off, laughing coldly. "I'm sure you all know about Edmond's only daughter, right? Edmond Roth, the richest man in Newark!"

"Are you referring to that Edmond, who committed suicide by jumping off a building four years ago?" A male colleague suddenly chimed in. "No wonder her surname seemed familiar..."

"I think I remember seeing that on the news. It was said that the same day Ronan Potter dumped Miss Roth, she hooked up with a transexual escort at the nightclub. Is that true?"

All of Sadie's colleagues stared at her with curiosity, excitement, and anticipation, waiting for her answer.

Their curious gazes pierced through Sadie's face like sharp edges. Unable to bear it any longer, she stood up and walked away.

Malcolm, the Administrative Department's manager, hurriedly grabbed her and rebuked some of the jeering colleagues. "What's wrong with all of you? How can you treat a new colleague like this? You're going to be working together. Stop your stupid questions!"

"You're right. We're so sorry..."

The colleagues quickly apologized to Sadie.

Sadie looked at Samuel's smirking face and hurriedly left the private room as if trying to run for her life.

All she had wanted was to leave her past behind and start a new life. Yet, the shadows from the past always seemed to follow her. It was impossible to shake them off.

Taking a deep breath, Sadie tried hard to calm herself down.

"What? Can't handle this already?" Samuel followed her out, mockingly sneering. "Then how are you going to survive in the future?"

"You did it on purpose," Sadie glared at him. "You lured me into joining the company and incited my colleagues to throw a party for me and let me pay the bill! All you want is to embarrass me! You're seeking revenge, aren't you?" "That's right." Samuel nodded and smiled. "The bill exceeds 20,000 dollars now. I think that's enough to show how much you're welcome."
