Chapter 136
“Taya, are you all right?”
Seeing Brielle’s face made me feel a bit more comfortable, and my frustration slowly calmed down so I could get my racing heart
back under control.
“I’m fine.”
“Are you sure?”
Brielle’s face was full of disbelief. She knew me the best out
of anyone here. She knew I didn’t say anything about my grievances and silently endured them. But I saw the looks she gave
“I’m fine. Don’t worry about me. You should get back out there. If Margaret can’t find you, she’ll get upset and call you l azy
again.”
Brielle was an intern, and she worked for Margaret. Before we fell out with each other, we could get along well on the surface.
Now that things had turned out like this, if Margaret saw that Brielle was still close to me, Margaret would definitely play some
tricks on Brielle behind her back.
It had not been easy for Brielle to enter Midwest Packs Corporation, and I knew she was looking forward to becoming a full-time
employee. She needed Margaret’s approval though,
and I thought it better not to get Brielle into trouble. Brielle seemed to have realized this as well. She hesitated momentarily, but
in the end, she still nodded. “Okay, I’ll get back to work.”
I waved my hand and smiled. “I’m okay. Promise.”
Only then did Brielle leave the bathroom.
As soon as she left, the smile on my face faded.
Tara wanted me to be the one to entertain Jackson while he was in Arcadia. Sometimes, when business partners came to the
Midwest Packs Corporation for business trips, the company would indeed send people to “entertain” them.
For example, the people would arrange food, clothing, accommodation, entertainment, etc. This was the treatment that guests
who came in to talk about large contracts would get.
And the bidding for the Weston City project was a very large contract.
I had such an unbearable past with Jackson. If I were to shamelessly try to please him again, I would probably be mistaken for
still being obsessed with him and deliberately approaching him under the guise of work.
Griffon would also think that I was an ambitious woman who
had dared to ignore his warning and continue to seduce his future brother-in-law.
Embarrassment flooded me when I thought about being misunderstood by Jackson and Griffon.
However, compared to the 1.2 million dollar penalty fee, embarrassment was nothing.
