Married by Mistake – Chapter 2171

Ava could tell that those were the voices of her colleagues in the same department.

“Everything makes sense now. Who would dare to do that without being in that kind of relationship?”

“Yeah, remember how pleased she looked last night? How arrogant!”

The two people Maisie called out yesterday, Fiona and Kendra, were gossiping loudly and unrestrainedly in the elevator. They even mentioned Maisie by name. There were a lot of employees from other departments as well, and a lot of them heard their conversation.

Then, they messaged their colleagues about this. Soon, this news spread to everyone.

Ava could not listen to this anymore, so when the elevator arrived at their floor, she followed her two colleagues out.

“Fiona, Kendra,” she called out to the two women in front of her.

Fiona and Kendra stopped walking and eventually realized that Ava was also in the elevator. When they recalled what they had said in the elevator just now, their expressions started to look unpleasant.

Ava walked over to them with a soft smile on her face. “Fiona, Kendra, I heard you guys saying that Maisie is close with Mr. Lowe. I’m curious, what kind of relationship do they have?”

“Maisie was siding with me last night because she’s always been a straightforward person. Also, Laura plagiarized my design and you saw the proof.”

When they saw that Ava had no idea about the news that was circulating online, Fiona and Kendra moved close to her. She said mysteriously, “Ava, do you really think she’s just a straightforward person? Of course not.”

“It’s all over the internet now. Maisie and Mr. Lowe are in that kind of relationship.”

“What kind of relationship?” Ava wanted to get to the bottom of this. “What kind of relationship are you talking about? Can you just tell me?”

“Ava, are you really that stupid?” Fiona peered at Ava and took out her phone to zoom into the online news report to show Ava.

“Look, what kind of relationship do you think they have?”

Ava lowered her eyes to take a look. She did not know how this news got out but it said that Maisie and the boss of their company, Tom Lowe, were having an affair with each other. It even said that to cheer Maisie up, Tom fired the employees of her department unfairly.

After she clicked into the news report to read more of it, there were also a lot of obscenities and disgusting descriptions. The more Ava read it, the angrier she was. Then, she gave the phone back to Fiona and rushed back to the pantry.

When Fiona and Kendra saw Ava in such a hurry, they followed her curiously.

At this moment, Maisie came upstairs in another elevator. When she saw Fiona and Kendra following Ava so suspiciously, she quickly followed them too. When she arrived at the door of the pantry, she could hear Ava calling someone.

“Maddie, are you busy right now? Can you help me with something?”

“A friend of mine is being slandered on the internet and she’s on the list of trending tweets. If you have time, can you please remove all these for me?”

Ava went straight to the point and told Madeline what had happened.

“Yeah, it’s the one on top. My friend’s name is Maisie Davenport, and Tom Lowe is the president of my company…”

“Ava, what are you talking about?”

Before Ava finished talking, she heard Maisie’s curious voice behind her. She turned her head quickly and saw Maisie rushing inside. Meanwhile, Fiona and Kendra were standing at the door of the pantry, with looks of loss on their faces.

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2172

Ava could guess what was going on. She quickly ended the call with Madeline and tried to comfort Maisie.

“Maisie, please don’t get emotional.”

“Wait, Ava, what did I just hear? You just said that Mr. Lowe and I are trending. What does this mean?” Maisie asked hurriedly.

The two of them at one side could not wait to tell Maisie what was going on when they saw that Ava was still hesitating.

“Maisie, don’t you know what happened? Someone exposed your relationship with Mr. Lowe online!”

“What? My relationship with Mr. Lowe?”

“Yeah! Don’t you go on the internet or watch videos? It’s all over the internet. It even showed proof that you have an extraordinary relationship with Mr. Lowe!”

“Someone even said that you snitched to Mr. Lowe, so that’s why he sided with you and fired Laura.”

“I snitched?” Maisie pointed at herself angrily. “Did I have to do such a thing? It was obvious Laura had ill intentions and she plagiarized Ava’s work. The company treated her well by only firing her.”

“Maisie, judging from what you said, is your relationship with Mr. Lowe real?” Fiona asked probingly.

“So what if it’s real? Is it illegal?” Maisie barged out of the pantry after she said that in a fit of rage.

When Fiona and Kendra heard that, their eyes were filled with shock.

“Did you hear that? Did you hear that? She admitted!”

“Damn! She admitted so quickly to having an improper relationship with the boss. Let’s go and see what she wants to do!”

Fiona and Kendra quickly followed Maisie to watch the drama unfold.

Ava was also shocked. However, she had a feeling that Maisie’s relationship with Mr. Lowe was not as described by the internet.

At this moment, everyone in the office was gossiping about what they saw online. Bill saw it too, and he did not expect it to be exposed so quickly. While he was wondering whether Laura was the one who leaked news of this online, the door of his office was pushed open.

Bill lifted his head abruptly and saw Maisie with a fierce look on her face. Then, he subconsciously scrolled away from the webpage.

“Maisie, why are you in such a hurry? Can I help you?” Bill was scared to offend Maisie, so he asked in a friendly tone.

Maisie did not beat around the bush. “Where’s Laura? You must know her whereabouts. Tell her to come out and fight me face to face. Isn’t she ashamed to play such dirty tricks behind the scenes? Tell that woman to get here now!”

Bill was shocked and scared by Maisie’s strong attitude. When he remembered that the man behind her was Tom, he tried to curry favor with her again.

“Maisie, this is just a misunderstanding. Even though Laura resigned, she wouldn’t have done this kind of thing.”

“Resigned? She was sacked!” Maisie emphasized. “Who are you to vouch for her? She could even plagiarize someone else’s work. Do you think she can be trusted? I know you have an extraordinary relationship with her. Otherwise, you wouldn’t shield her after she plagiarized Ava’s work. I’m giving you another chance to get her here. Otherwise, I’ll fire you too! Don’t even think about getting a cent from the annual bonus!”

Bill was stunned when he heard that. However, he knew Maisie had that ability.

“Maisie, you’re wrongly accusing me! I really don’t know anything and there’s nothing between Laura and me. You…”

“What’s going on?”

Before Bill could finish, Tom appeared at the door with a stern expression.

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2173

When Bill saw that it was his superior, he was so scared he started breaking out in a cold sweat.

“M-Mr. Lowe, you’re here,” he greeted timidly.

Tom walked over and lowered his head to look at Maisie, who looked very aggressive.

“What happened? Why are you so mad?”

Maisie was fuming as she glared at Bill who could not even form his words properly. “Ask him!”

Tom looked at Bill sharply after he heard that. “Answer me.”

When Bill heard this, he was even more terrified. The rest of the people in the office raised their widened eyes to look in their direction. Plus, they could tell that there was something unusual going on between Tom and Maisie judging from how gentle and patient he was with her.

How could a normal employee speak to their boss like that?

It would be a fantasy!

When they saw this, Fiona and Kendra were even more excited. “Did you see that? What’s being said on the internet is real! Ava, do you believe us now?”

“But Ava, which one of your friends is so powerful to have the power to remove a trending tweet?”

As they were asking Ava, Bill stammered out his answer, “Mr. Lowe, I think Maisie is mad about the news online…”

“What news online?” Tom asked coolly.

Bill did not dare to tell him directly, so he opened his tablet and found the page before handing it to Tom respectfully.

“See for yourself, Mr. Lowe.”

Torn furrowed his thick eyebrows and reached out to take the tablet.

Maisie also took a look after she moved closer to Tom. When she saw the contents, she clenched her fists in anger as she started cursing.

“This has Laura Pine written all over it!” Maisie’s anger intensified immediately. “I’ll find her!”

After Maisie finished saying that, she turned around angrily. Even Tom could not stop her.

On the other hand, Ava rushed over to Maisie. “Maisie, where are you going?”

“I want to go catch that shameless woman!” Maisie murmured without turning her head.

When Tom heard that, he returned the tablet to Bill and warned coldly, “I know you’re still in contact with Laura. Tell her I’ll get to the bottom of this.”

“Um… Mr. Lowe, Laura and I…” Bill was trying to have nothing to do with Laura but Tom did not listen to him. He turned around and left.

When the other colleagues saw Tom barging out, they ran back to their seats and pretended to focus on their work. After that, Ava walked in through the door with a look of worry.

Tom noticed Ava packing her things, so he walked over to try and comfort her. “Don’t worry, you don’t have to chase after her. Maisie will be fine. Just focus on your work, okay?”

Ava was still worried as she did not know whether Maisie would do something stupid. She only came back to her senses when she heard Tom’s voice. Even though she figured Maisie was not in an improper relationship with Tom, Ava still felt that they had a special relationship judging from what Tom said and his actions.

Also, since Tom had promised her, Ava stopped feeling so worried.

After about an hour, Maisie came back with a look of disappointment.

Everyone’s eyes fell on Maisie. They wanted to know what she did after she ran out, but only Ava went over to ask her. .

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2174

“Maisie, where did you go?”

“I went to find Laura but I couldn’t find her,” Maisie told Ava honestly and sat down. Then, she glared in the direction where Bill’s office was. “He must know.”

Ava understood what Maisie was trying to say, and she comforted Maisie, saying, “Alright, don’t be mad. I believe you. Those things online are all fake. You and Mr. Lowe are innocent.”

When Maisie heard Ava say that, she felt much better. However, even though Ava believed her, their other colleagues did not.

During lunch, Ava wanted to treat Maisie to a meal but Maisie ran away after she said she wanted to use the restroom. Ava waited for a while but Maisie was still nowhere to be seen. Hence, when she was about to call Maisie, the nosey pair walked over.

“Ava, are you still waiting for Maisie? I saw her going to Mr. Lowe’s office just now.” Fiona told Ava with a righteous expression, “And you still believe there’s nothing going on between her and Mr. Lowe. Ava, she’s lying to you!”

“No…” Ava still insisted on her beliefs. “I trust Maisie. You should stop overthinking so that you won’t get into trouble later. Even though I don’t know what’s going on between Maisie and Mr. Lowe, I’m sure it’s not that kind of relationship you have in mind.”

After Ava said that, she walked away decisively.

While she was eating, she received Madeline’s call. She told Ava that the trending tweet had been removed but it was not done by her. Someone else beat her to it. Ava figured Tom was the one who did that, and it was understandable why.

After she thought about it, Ava still felt apologetic. Maisie got into this trouble after standing up for her. Therefore, she did not need to think to know that this was done by Laura.

However, they did not know where Laura was right now. What surprised Ava and everyone in the office was that Laura showed up in the office when it was almost after work hours.

When Bill saw Laura, he was shocked. When no one was paying attention, he pulled Laura to one side. “Why do you still have the guts to come here? Don’t you know Maisie is looking for you? She looks like she’s about to kill you!”

Laura pushed Bill’s hand away in disdain. “The financial department asked me to come back to settle my salary. I’ll have nothing to do with this company after I get my salary and I’ll also have nothing to do with you anymore. Let Maisie do whatever she wants to me. How could anyone figure out that I was the one who leaked the news online? Hmph!”

“W-What did you say?” Bill was shocked once again. Before he could stop Laura, she walked straight into the office.

At. this moment, Maisie and Ava came back from the restroom. When Maisie saw Laura sitting on the sofa so arrogantly, the smile on her face immediately turned into rage.

Laura was peering proudly at Maisie who was charging over at her. She was completely ignoring Maisie. She was not an employee here anymore, so why should she be scared?

At this moment, Maisie rushed in front of Laura and grabbed her collar without showing any courtesy. After that, she slapped Laura across the face in an imposing manner.

Slap!

The employees who were about to get off work all came over to watch the drama unfold.

Laura was immediately stunned. She widened her beautiful eyes dumbfoundedly and stomped her feet in anger.

“Maisie Davenport, how dare you…”

Slap!

Before Laura could finish her sentence, she received another slap on the other side of her face.

“Maisie! Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you have Tom backing you?”

“That’s right! I’m doing this because I have him backing me. He’s been backing me for 22 years of my life!”

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2175

When Maisie said that, the air in the office seemed to freeze.

‘What?’

‘What did she say?’

‘Tom had been backing her for the past 22 years?’

’22 years?’

They remembered that Maise had just graduated, so she was about 22 to 23 years old. Did it mean that she knew Tom the moment she was born?

What did this mean?

Everyone was shocked.

Laura held her cheek that was hurting from the slap, and she had a look of astonishment on her face. “W-What do you mean?” She was confused.

Maisie’s grip on Laura’s collar tightened. “Do you still not understand, you idiot?!”

Laura’s face turned dark after she was scolded and beaten. She was trying to get out of Maisie’s grip but Maisie was very strong.

“Why? Do you feel uncomfortable? You should’ve known that you’d end up like this when you posted those things online to slander me!”

Ava watched this from one side, and she had no intention of stopping Maisie. However, she was also worried that something bad would happen to Laura if Maisie continued this.

“Maisie, let go of her first.” Ava went over and grabbed Maisie’s hand.

Maisie initially did not want to let go, but when she saw Ava stopping her, she caved in and then dusted her hands off in disdain.

“Cough, cough.” Laura coughed and then fought back, yelling, “Maisie, stop spewing nonsense! I don’t care what relationship you have with Tom. What’s going on online has nothing to do with me. Stop slandering me! If you keep trying to wrongfully accuse me, I’ll…”

“What will you do? Do you have the galls to say that you didn’t do it?” Maisie interrupted Laura.

Laura was unconvinced. “Maisie, show me the proof if you think I was the one who did it! I know how to wrongfully accuse people too. I think that you were the one who posted that so that you can be popular!”

“I don’t know if Mai will become popular, but you, Laura Pine, will soon be.” Suddenly, Tom’s voice sounded from outside the crowd.

Everyone was stunned, and they turned around to see that their boss was here. They frantically backed away.

Tom walked over gracefully. “Why are you guys still here at this hour? Do you want to work overtime?”

He was saying that jokingly but the next second, his eyes landed on Laura sharply.

“You’re here…”

‘You’re here?’

Laura lifted her head to look over. Judging from his tone, Tom seemed to know that she would come earlier on.

Tom could see Laura’s confusion, so he shifted his gaze that was covered in thorns to her. “I was the one who asked the finance department to tell you to come and settle your salary. You would’ve shown up if you were attracted to money.”

“…”

Laura’s face turned hot Her face that was slapped twice by Maisie was burning up. It seemed that Tom had deliberately set a trap for her to fall into. She indeed came for money but now, she felt that something was wrong.

Just now, everyone had heard Tom calling Maisie ‘Mai’ so affectionately. They did not need to guess to confirm the intimate relationship between the two.

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2176

Tom was very straightforward. He did not beat around the bush before going straight to the topic.

“When I walked in, I heard you questioning Mai what proof she has that you’re the one who posted the fake news online. She doesn’t have proof, but I do.”

“I asked IT to look up the IP address of the person who first posted that news online. I can tell you with certainty that I know you’re the one who did it. Also, I called the police to let them handle this. You can talk to the police if you have any questions later.”

“…”

Laura’s face was frozen completely when she heard this. Bill was standing at one side, and he took a few steps back as he was losing his head out of fear. He was terrified of being implicated.

After Laura was stunned for a few seconds, she felt that Tom might just be scaring her, so she scoffed.

“You called the police? Whatever. I didn’t do it anyway. I’m innocent! Plus, if those things online are real, then it’s not fake news and there’s no defamation!”

Laura was extremely nervous on the inside, but on the outside, she was smiling coldly while pretending to be calm.

“Guys, I’m sure you’ve seen the news online. Look at what’s happening now. Mr. Lowe is showing such great concern toward Maisie Davenport. Even idiots can tell that their relationship is out of the ordinary!”

As she said that, she rolled her eyes.

“They’re lying about knowing each other for 22 years. Their relationship is improper. Such things happen all the time in the business world. Otherwise, do you think a fresh graduate like Maisie would’ve been able to enter such a big company with her own skills?”

When Maisie saw Laura slandering her ability in front of everyone, Maisie started to get angry again. However, Ava grabbed her and then retorted Laura with a solemn look on her face.

“I was the one who interviewed Maisie back then. She was hired because she fulfilled the company’s requirements and has the ability to work here. It’s not like what you said at all, but you, on the other hand… Hmph.”

As Ava said that, she smiled while imitating Laura’s disdainful expression. After that, she peered at Bill who was hiding in a corner.

“Laura, you and that certain someone should know very well how you joined this company.”

“Ava, you…” Laura was so mad she could not speak at that moment.

The employees on the side were all looking at this scene with wide eyes and astonished looks. They did not dare to say anything at all, but they seemed to know what Ava was trying to say.

When Laura was about to quibble over this, two sets of footsteps sounded from the front of the office.

“Is Laura Pine here?” A deep male voice asked sternly.

Laura was stunned, then she looked at the source of the voice. She did not expect to see two police officers in uniform walking in. She did not expect Tom to have really called the police! Laura was seriously panicking now.

“Who called the police just now? Which one of you is Laura Pine?”

“I was the one who called,” Tom answered calmly. Then, he shot a glance at Laura whose face was turning white. “She’s Laura Pine.”

The police officer nodded and walked in front of Laura. “Laura Pine, this man reported to us saying that you slandered the reputation of another person and committed plagiarism. Not only that, but you also worked with an employee of the company to embezzle the company’s money. Please come back to the station with us for further investigation.”

Laura did not know that there would be so many charges against her. She wanted to retort but all of them were real.

“No, I didn’t do those things! Officer, you have to look into this!”

“We’ve already obtained concrete evidence, so you have to come with us.” The police were very stern about this. Laura was really panicking now. “Why should I go with you when I never did any of those things? If you want to arrest someone, go arrest them! The boss of the company is in an improper relationship with his employee! Shouldn’t you arrest them and educate them for doing such a thing that’s so morally destructive? Plus, he’s also the president of such a huge company!”

“So you’re that woman who started the rumors about my precious daughter and son!”

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2177

A very domineering voice suddenly penetrated everyone’s ears powerfully. Then, a woman who seemed to be wearing all the luxury brands in the world on her body appeared in front of Laura with a strong aura after walking through the crowd.

That woman lifted her stern eyes. There was a look of fearlessness and boldness in them that looked similar to Maisie’s. She looked at Laura whose face was turning red and white before lifting her hand to slap her across the face.

“Ah!” Laura yelped in pain. Before she understood what was going on, she could feel the same searing pain on her face again. Laura clutched her face and lifted her head to glare at that woman. “H-How dare you slap me?!”

“Yes, I’m slapping you because you deserve to be slapped. You shouldn’t have spread those rumors online, then! I’m being very merciful by just slapping you.”

The woman replied calmly, but her eyes were piercing.

Laura’s jaw dropped open. After being stuck in a trance for a few seconds, she remembered the officers who were next to her.

“Officers, you saw it. This woman slapped me in front of you! You should be arresting her!”

The officers were about to lecture the woman but the woman smiled calmly.

“I’m happy to cooperate with you two. I’ll take responsibility and face the consequences for slapping this woman, but first, you have to do something about this fool who went around spreading rumors about my daughter and slandering my daughter’s reputation.”

After the woman said that, she rolled her eyes at Laura. Immediately after that, her eyes were filled with affectionate kindness and gentleness when she turned to Maisie.

“Mai, my baby, no one can bully you now that Mommy’s here.”

The woman promised solemnly. Then, she glared at Tom with an extremely reproachful look in her eyes.

“Tommy, is this how you take care of your little sister? How can you allow rumors about her to spread? Also, don’t you go through a strict interview process before hiring your employees? How could this kind of person have the qualifications to enter our family’s company?”

“Gosh…”

After the woman finished speaking, she caused an uproar around her. Everyone now understood the relationship between Maisie and Tom. They were siblings!

This was completely different from what they had guessed and seen online. However, Maisie’s last name was Davenport while Tom’s last name was Lowe, so no one would think that they were siblings.

At this moment, Maisie simpered and got close to the woman. “Mommy, don’t scold Tom. You know he loves me the most. It’s just that this time, someone was trying to stab us from the back so that’s why he couldn’t guard against it.”

Maisie explained. At this moment, she was like a docile lamb. Her soft tone was completely different from her aggressive and overbearing attitude just now.

“Plus, Tom didn’t know I came to interview for the design department back then. It’s all because you guys think I’m too childish and you think I can’t join a professional firm. So that’s why I asked someone to change my identification details so I could come here for an interview.”

After hearing Maisie’s explanation, the woman looked affectionate and proud. “Yes, you’re right. My princess is the best. You joined this company all by yourself.”

After she said that, the woman peered at Laura, who was utterly shocked.

“However, I guess someone is lacking in wit, so that’s why they said you joined the company through connections”

“Even if I joined this company through connections, so what? One has to have the connections to even attempt it.”

Maisie looked at Laura disdainfully and continued, “Laura, now you know what relationship I have with Mr. Lowe.”

“So? Are you surprised? Are you shocked?”

Laura’s stiff palm was still clutching her face, and she was looking at Maisie who was beaming. She was flabbergasted. However, she did not dare to utter a single word to retort.

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2178

Even though she had a million guesses in her head before this, she would never have thought that Maisie and Tom were siblings. Laura was struck dumb. However, more than anything else, there was envy and jealousy in her eyes.

She was so jealous!

Maisie was Tom’s little sister.

Bill, who was cowering in a corner, was also shocked to the core. He thought he had found out about Tom and Maisie’s improper relationship but he did not expect that they were family! They were siblings!

Just now, the police also said that they wanted to look into Laura because one of the cases she was involved in was the embezzlement of public funds. Bill was also involved in this, so he could not run from this now.

Laura was brought away by the police soon after, while Tom and his mother also followed the police back to the station to help with the investigation.

When they left, Tom turned around to call out to Bill, whose face was turning pale.

Bill’s body turned cold as he knew he was finished.

Maisie watched as Laura was brought away. Finally, she let out a long sigh of relief.

“That felt good!”

After she said that, she stopped smiling and walked to Ava’s side with a sincere and apologetic look.

“Ava, you won’t blame me for lying to you, right?”

Ava came back to her senses. “Of course not.”

When Maisie got this answer, she smiled. “Ava, I’m so thankful that you hired me back then. Otherwise, Tom would’ve made fun of me for being a child who could never grow up.”

“Maisie, ah, I’m sorry, Miss Lowe, I really didn’t expect you to be Mr. Lowe’s sister.”

“Miss Lowe, I hope you’ll forgive us if we did anything to offend you back then.”

“Yeah, we didn’t know you were Mr. Lowe’s sister. If we did, we wouldn’t have said all that nonsense.”

Fiona, Kendra, and some other colleagues walked over to apologize to Maisie. However, Maisie merely gave a small smile and grabbed Ava’s hand.

“Ava, I’m in a good mood today so let me buy you dinner. Oh, right, you can call your boyfriend to come along too. I don’t mind being the third wheel.”

Maisie joked and skipped away with Ava in tow.

Those people who were standing in the same spot were panicking. They were worried that Maisie would ask Tom to fire all of them if she was dissatisfied with them.

However, Maisie did not tell Tom anything. The next day, she came to work as usual and she was still Ava’s assistant. She was happy with this position.

Now, the colleagues who previously ignored her would all smile at her flatteringly. They all wanted to build a personal relationship with Maisie but aside from work, Maisie would not interact with the other colleagues. Her only friend in the company was Ava.

A few days later, Maisie told Ava that Laura was going to be charged. Her crimes from before were proven to be true, and she also embezzled public funds with Bill. Hence, Bill would be going behind bars as well. Now that Bill was behind bars, the design department was in a mess.

The position of head of the design department was empty and someone had to fill in the position. All of the old employees were eager to give it a go as they wondered who would be the new head.

Fiona was very confident. She had the most experience in this office and she had also managed a few huge projects for the company. In terms of seniority and achievements, she would definitely be in the running. Right now, as she was happily listening to the others complimenting her, someone rained on her parade all of a sudden.

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2179

“Ava, I dare say that you’ll rise above others in this fight for the position of department head. You’ll definitely get that position.”

Maisie’s firm tone went into the ears of Fiona and her group.

Even though it sounded unpleasant and Fiona was pissed, she did not dare to go and talk back to Maisie. Everyone knew that Maisie was their boss Mr. Lowe’s sister. At the same time, they also knew that Maisie and Ava were close.

Maisie was saying that Ava would be able to get the position of the head of the design department and it was basically a done deal.

Fiona was feeling pissed but suddenly, she heard Ava speak with a self-deprecating laugh.

“Actually, I like my current position. I’ll have to manage so many things as the head. Someone as lazy and carefree as me won’t be able to get that position.”

Fiona chuckled in disdain when she heard what Ava said. She felt that Ava was just pretending.

However, Maisie did not say anything. Instead, she just nodded thoughtfully.

During the lunch break, Ava and Maisie went for lunch together as they chatted. When Fiona saw them leaving the office, she slowly stood up while spitting out complaints.

“A certain someone said they don’t want the position but I know how badly they want it in their heart.”

Kendra, who was at the side, pursed her lips together in dissatisfaction. She was extremely envious of Ava. “Yeah, she has the president’s sister backing her up so she’ll definitely prosper in this company. Fiona, it’ll be difficult for her to stay here from now on.”

“Tsk…” Fiona scoffed and smirked coldly. She was also so jealous that she was going crazy. “That orphan Ava is like a small character intoxicated by success. I don’t know where she found her rich and handsome boyfriend. Now, she’s best friends with the president’s sister. What a lucky b*tch.”

As soon as she said that, she saw the phone on Ava’s desk vibrating.

Then, she realized that Ava had forgotten to bring her phone. Fiona quickly walked over, grabbed the phone, and saw that it was from a man named Danny.

“This looks like Ava’s boyfriend. I remember she’s always saying the name Danny when she’s on a call.” Kendra came over and confirmed.

Fiona curled the corners of her lips slyly. Then, she picked up the phone and said in an extremely pretentious voice, “Hello, this is Ava’s phone.”

On the other end, Daniel was slightly taken aback when he heard this. “Who are you?”

“I’m Ava’s colleague. I think Ava just went out with a male colleague and she left her phone on the desk. May I know who you are? I’ll tell Ava later so she can call you back.”

Fiona was obviously lying. After she said that, she heard Daniel staying silent for a few seconds.

“Hello?” She pretended to be curious and asked again, “Sir, are you calling Ava because there’s something urgent? If there is, I’ll go to the restaurant to find Ava and hand her the phone.”

Fiona pretended to be kind, then she lifted her eyes to give Kendra a look. While she was waiting for Daniel to reply,

Ava suddenly walked in from the door. When she saw Kendra and Fiona at her desk, she walked over curiously. “Why are you standing at my desk? Why are you holding my phone?”

Ava quickly walked over and snatched her phone away from Fiona’s hand.

“Hello? Hello? Is this Ava?”

She could vaguely hear Daniel’s voice from the phone. Ava quickly grabbed the phone to take a look. She saw that it was from Daniel and the call time was about two minutes.
