"Yeah, she hasn't said anything for the past couple of days. Wendy, are you here?"

They began to ask for Wendy in the group chat. She wanted to beat Jennifer up so badly; she was the one who stirred things up, but how did she end up being the scapegoat?

However, she couldn't continue to play dead as someone even messaged her privately, so she replied to the group chat after a few minutes.

"Sorry, I have been occupied with work. I didn't keep up to date with that lately."

"Wendy, we're on the same boat. Why haven't you kept up to date? Isn't she working under you? You should call her and ask."

Wendy felt even more upset seeing that.

What did they mean by that?

They were in no position to tell her to do so!

Wendy was unhappy with how they ordered her. Thus she typed a message in the group chat.

"If you want to know, call her yourself. Don't trouble others."

After she sent the message, the group chat fell silent.

They hadn't expected Wendy to say such a thing. After all, they used to gossip together, but she suddenly refused.

Seeing her refusal, Jeniffer was also annoyed. However, just as she was about to refute Wendy, a familiar figure passed by.

It was Yulia. She could just ask her straight, couldn't she?

With that thought, Jennifer quickly put down her phone and walked toward her.

Seeing someone blocking her way, the coldness in her eyes deepened, and she stopped in her tracks to look at Jennifer.

"Can I help you?"

Yulia's gaze shocked Jennifer as she had never looked like this whenever she looked for Yulia in the past. Now, she looked cold and distant.

Thus, Jennifer took a long time to react. "Oh, it's nothing. You fainted a few days ago, and you haven't come to work since. So, I got a little worried. How are you feeling now?" Yulia wanted to laugh hearing Jennifer's words.

Jennifer was obviously concerned about her relationship with Quill and wanted to know if she was indeed his fiancee. However, she decided to beat around the bush with these phony words. She didn't expose her intentions, and Yulia also decided to play dumb, looking at her with a faint smile.

"Thank you for your concern. I'm fine. I can continue to work hard."

After that, Yulia wanted to leave, but Jennifer stopped her hurriedly.

"Is there anything else?" Yulia looked at Jennifer as if she could see through her. Jennifer could only stare at her blankly, unable to say anything inexplicably.

It wasn't until after a long time that she finally said, "That day... I saw President Hanover carry you out of the building, and his girlfriend followed behind."

Yulia blinked. She finally couldn't hold back any longer, could she?

"So?" Yulia asked.

Jennifer was at a loss for words. She actually asked her so?

So? What could she say?

"It seems that you haven't figured out what to say.

I have to work. See you."

Jennifer knew that Yulia might really ignore her if she didn't speak clearly. She quickly rushed forward and grabbed her hand.

"Wait, I actually want to ask if you

really are President Hanover's

fiancee? If you are, then what do you think of the president's girlfriend? Aren't you angry she snatched your fiance? Shouldn't you snatch him back?"

Snatch him back?

Hearing that, Yulia fell deep in thought.

She had never thought of snatching him back at all.

"You're his fiancee. President Hanover's girlfriend showed up after you, so she is the mistress. You can denounce her completely."

Yulia looked at Jennifer, curious.

"So, why are you telling me this?"

Jennifer was stumped by her

question. But before she could think of how to answer, Yulia continued, "Even if what I said is true, what does it have to do with you? You're just a receptionist, aren't you? When did your job include caring for other people's personal affairs?

"I..."

Jennifer hadn't expected Yulia to retort her so fiercely.

She had never thought she would be caught in this situation, so she didn't know how to answer Yulia's question.

"You've been asking me this since I

started working here. I didn't say anything because I didn't think you have the right to interfere. I also hope you can understand this is not something you can have a say in. But it looks like you don't understand what I'm relaying to you. Is it right for a receptionist to interfere?"

Yulia's tone became sharper toward the end of her words, looking domineering. Jennifer was baffled and did not respond for a long time.

She stammered, "I...I have no other intention. Don't be angry. I didn't mean to interfere. I just... I just heard that you were President Hanover's fiancee, so..."

Yulia's tone became soft for some reason as she asked, "Are you trying to help me because you saw that I was treated unfairly?"

Hearing that, Jennifer nodded quickly and said, "Yeah, that's right."

"Oh, that's a pity." Yulia stepped closer to Jennifer. "I still remember how you shooed me away the day I came to replace Quill. You even laughed at me after asking if I was President Hanover's fiancee." Jennifer's face turned pale. She wasn't expecting Yulia to bring it up.

She defended herself in a panic.

"Miss Maxwell... I've apologized to you. I didn't mean to do so. You told me that you didn't mind either."

Yulia was still smiling.

"You're right. I've left it all behind. But my memory is good, so I haven't forgotten this yet."

Jennifer felt a chill run down her spine as she looked at Yulia. She was smiling, yet there was a limitless coldness beneath it.

"Alright, I'm going back to work now. You should too."

Yulia patted her shoulder and left.

This time, Jennifer no longer ran after her.

She stood there and thought about what Yulia had said to her. The more she thought about it, the more afraid she felt.
