Chapter 346

• Laura was interrupted in her conversation with Ash, and she looked annoyed at Rose.In the midst of Rose's messy sobbing, Laura learned the ins and outs of the matter in her mind."Laura, is what that nasty bitch said true? What exactly does she know?" Rose was frightened."Emily's purpose of return is surely not simple. How could you be frightened by her just like that? Do you still want to defeat her?" Laura's reprimanding calmed Rose a bit."You should listen to her. She's doing everything for your good." Ash patted Rose's shoulder and then walked out.He left the room to Laura and Rose.After Laura comforted Rose, she asked casually, "Rose, how's your assistant?""My current assistant? What is her name? Never mind. It's not important. She's alright, just a bit slow.""Then I'll find you a new one.""Okay."Rose didn't mind. Anyway, she didn't like Reed, and Laura would find someone better for her.
• Reed sat uneasily at her desk. After a few days with nothing unusual happening, she relaxed a bit."Are you Reed?""Yes, I am," Reed looked at the HR director who approached her, and she couldn't help but stand up nervously.The Hopkinson Group was a large company with several decades of history, and its benefits and compensation system were both well-established. Working there was quite decent for many people.Therefore, when Reed received the offer from the Hopkinson Group, she was overjoyed, and her parents and friends were also happy for her.However, when she began to work there, she found that it was different from what she had expected.Since she bumped into something by chance, she had to lower her head almost all the time, worried that others would notice her expression.Moreover, Rose was not an easy-to-please rich young lady. Reed felt that she was less of Rose's assistant and more of a slave."You have been dismissed, but you will receive the compensation you are entitled to. Come with me." The HR director had done the same thing many times before. Rose's assistant would be changed every several months, making it difficult to find suitable candidates. Therefore, the HR director's look was not pleasant.
• Reed went out of the building holding her things. She turned to look back at the towering skyscraper where men and women were all walking in and out with their heads held high.For some reason, she felt relieved and relaxed, as if everything was settled. These days, she was aware of Laura's cold gaze.Reed turned around and walked forward. She needed to find another job."Hello, are you Reed?"A tall man blocked Reed's way. Reed looked up at him with surprise in her eyes."I am Andrew. Can we have a private conversation? You can choose the location."Andrew smiled patiently and looked at Reed.Reed saw Andrew who came with Emily yesterday.After a moment, she nodded.Andrew's smile grew brighter.
