After the inauguration ceremony of the Chief Officer, Emily Parker and the Carters’ relationship improved significantly.
However, Carlos did not mention his relationship with Rainny White afterwards, and Emily did not ask further.
On this day, Emily sat at her desk as usual, having just finished handling a document, she gently massaged her temples.
Since becoming the general manager of the Carter Clan Group, Emily’s life had become increasingly hectic.
Mrs. Carter worried about her health after pregnancy and frequently reminded Evan Palmer to appropriately lighten her workload.
Evan Palmer took the opportunity to suggest that Emily temporarily focus on the project at Sterling Research Institute, which involved cooperation between the Institute, the Carter Clan Group, and Eastern Hospital, a project extremely valued by the whole group.
Emily and Adam Willow jointly took charge, making frequent interactions between the two inevitable.
Fortunately, Adam Willow always adhered to the principle of business first in the company, which made things easier for Emily.
Just as Emily rose, the office door was suddenly pushed open with a creaking sound.
A familiar figure strode in; it was Sophie Parker.
She was dressed in a pink dress, with exquisite makeup, her eyebrows slightly raised, giving off an air of arrogance.
She glanced around, inspecting the office, a flash of jealousy passed through her eyes.
This office used to belong to Carlos, with an excellent view and surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows, sunlight spilled on the luxurious carpet, rendering it exceptionally grand.
Emily slightly furrowed her brows, glanced outside the office, ready to call someone to remove Sophie.
Sophie spoke first, her tone carrying a hint of sarcasm,
"Emily, who would have thought we would meet here one day."
She deliberately elongated her words, a dismissive smile playing on her lips.
Emily looked at her coldly, her tone indifferent,
"Sophie, this is my office. What are you doing here? If you’re looking for Assistant Adam, just contact him directly. I’m busy and can’t entertain you."
Sophie was unimpressed, deliberately strolling around the office, her gaze swept over Emily’s desk, her smile deepening,
"Tsk tsk, this office used to be Carlos’s, you really got lucky getting this position so quickly. This update is available on NoveI★Fire.net
But whether your luck will continue is hard to say."
She paused deliberately, seemingly enjoying Emily’s confusion.
Emily frowned deeply, not knowing what Sophie was insinuating.
Sophie seemed to notice her confusion, deliberately lowered her voice, her tone carrying a hint of schadenfreude, "Were you looking for Carlos just now?
I just saw him answering a call, it seemed to be from Rainny White."
She deliberately glanced at Emily, her smile becoming more apparent.
Sophie seemed to notice her confusion, her smile becoming even more apparent. Emily really was naive, she didn’t know yet? Rainny White and Carlos had slept together long ago, Rainny White just had an early pregnancy test this morning, and she’s pregnant.
Sophie’s eyes hinted even more at schadenfreude.
Rainny White was pregnant with Carlos’s child, putting Emily and the child in her belly in a precarious position.
Sophie’s lips subtly curled upward, her eyes flashing with slyness.
She was secretly calculating; this news couldn’t be disclosed to too many people for now.
She had already reached an understanding with Rainny White, advising Rainny to keep a low profile while nurturing her pregnancy, to minimize outings and avoid unnecessary attention.
Once Rainny’s belly grows larger and the child can no longer be easily aborted, she would reveal the news to the public.
By then, with the child backing her, Rainny’s status would naturally rise significantly.
Sophie felt secretly delighted. She knew Mrs. Carter’s personality well; once Rainny was pregnant with Carlos’s child, no matter how much Mrs. Carter disliked Rainny, she wouldn’t dare act rashly against her.
After all, the Carter family’s bloodline was the most important, Mrs. Carter wouldn’t risk forcing Rainny to undergo an abortion.
"Rest assured, I’m not here to find Brother Adam today, I’ve come to discuss business with you," Sophie deliberately said.
