Refusing 51

Chapter 51

Watching a cheerful Julia, Jessica couldrít suppress her anger. Thinking about the insults and challenges she faced in the meeting room, she approached and blocked Julia's path. Julia, what exactly did you do to impress Ms. Powell so much?" Julia didn't even want to glance at Jessica. For people like her, the best strategy was to ignore them completely.

Given her position as Kathy's secretary, Jessica was used to certain deference at the company. No one dared disrespect her, except for Julia.

"Move." julia said coldly

The office atmosphere froze again. Valerie stood by Julia's side. She arrived a few months before Julia and knew Jessica had a decent network within the company. To cross her would make life difficult for Julia there. Jessica had plenty of ways to make Julia's work life mis But Julia disregarded Valerie's concern. When itiated, she wouldn't take a different tone even with Harry, much less Jessica. If Harry couldn't benefit from getting on her bad side, why shouki Jessica get any special treatment? If Jessica wanted to get along, Julia wouldn't Julia spoke again, firm and icy. "Get out of my way

Jessica, who had never faced such public humiliation, would not show weakness, Hands crossed over her chest, she looked down on Julia with pride. "What if I don't"

Tired of wasting time with idle talk, Julia raised her hand, Jessica thought Julia might strike as she had in the meeting room and instinctively stepped back, which amused Julia.

Julia simply brushed her hair aside and smiled slightly at Jessica "Ms. Hart, what could I possibly do to you in front of all these witnesses? You're backing away as if you're scared of me. Others might think I've done something to you"

Upon hearing this, Jessica could no longer contain her anger toward Julia and raised her hand, intending to give Julia a piece of her mind.

Julia wasn't one to just be bullied. Before Jessica's hand could reach her face, Julia grabbed her wrist and forcefully pushed her aside. She walked

over to Jessica, who was staring at her full of spite, and julia couldn't help but laugh.

"Taddress you as Ms. Hart out of respect. Away from Cooper Group, you mean nothing to me." Julia sneered. "We're colleagues. Why make things hard for each other? Do you really think troubling me will help you clumb the career ladder?"

Someone must have alerted Kathy. She appeared and saw them at odds, barking, "What's going on here? What kind of place do you think the company is? A playground for fights?"

Jessica looked at Kathy with a victimized expression, eager to shift the blame onto Julia, but Kathy didn't give her the dance. "Everyone, get back to work, Jessica, come to my office?

After Jessica was summoned away, Julia returned to her seat, ignoring the curious glances of her colleagues,

From the stam of the conflict, Valerie was on edge, concerned that Julia might statter at Jessica's hands. "Julia, I really admire you. I never expect you to stand up to Jessica publicly. Before you arrived here, Jessica had made life hell for many newcomers. But everyone Valerie grew more and more impressed with Julia, but her next words weren't as pleasing to Julia. That's why it's better to be rich. With money comes confidence. Il Jessica did try to hurt you, Harry wouldn't let her off"

Does Valerie think I'm standing up to Jessica because I have Harry behind me? Jula thought. She stared intently at Vilerie, who continued vividly describing the people who had been bullied by Jessica and those who had resigned due to the pressure.

These things had nothing to do with her, and Julia wasn't in the mood to explain to Valerie that even without being Mrs. Wiglit, die wouldn't have gune easy on Jessica. 'Being kind to your enemies is just being cruel to yourself she thought.

Julia knew Jessica wasn't going to change. If she kept yielding Jessica would only push harder, not treat her any better. If sta

meant making an enemy of her, so be it. If this company couldn't hold her, then fine, she'd leave and replace another. Cromont L Couper Group for chasing a bright future.

Valerie was still complaining, and julia just silently liste
