July Quinn scrutinized the man’s earnest gaze and suddenly laughed. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novｅlfire.net
"Honey, you’re quite jealous, aren’t you? Getting competitive even with a flower?"
She let the man hold her waist, yet she was stunning, like an ethereal beauty that shouldn’t exist in this world.
Kyle Keaton almost lost control over her again, yet he caught the word "jealous."
It was like a bucket of cold water poured down over his head.
After a cold laugh, he let go of July Quinn and walked toward the bathroom.
He, Kyle Keaton, was never jealous of anyone, nor did he intend to give his heart to anyone.
As for giving her a rare and expensive flower worth millions, it was just a whim.
Anyway, he was just so poor he had nothing left but money.
"Tsk tsk!" July Quinn watched the man’s quick departure and shook her head.
Just a joke, yet it’s like it wound him up?
However, July Quinn didn’t pay much attention to Kyle Keaton’s unusual behavior.
She soon went into the bedroom, took out a few other herbs she had prepared, and began to concoct this rare flower with a secret method...
In a blink, it was Monday again.
The people invited to the Jacobs Family’s birthday banquet that day were mostly well-known wealthy families from Westmarch.
So, the news that Kyle Keaton was the CEO of Regalscape Group and the head of the Caelan Sea project only spread among the elite circles.
Currently, within The Jacobs Group, apart from a few shareholders, very few people knew about it.
Thus, Kyle Keaton continued his role as an unnoticed assistant.
Miles Jacobs had no objections to the decision of the money-holder and didn’t dare to make a peep.
He only tried harder to please the money-holder, hoping that the scoundrel Nathan Jacobs wouldn’t affect the whole project’s progress.
Seeing that the money-holder was still actively cooperating at work, Miles Jacobs announced the assessment for July Quinn and Yasmin Zane.
"Compile your understanding, opinions, or suggestions on the Caelan Sea project into an independent presentation, and submit it by Friday. At that time, all our project members will witness both of your growth."
Of course, no matter whose presentation stood out, as long as the money-holder wanted to keep the woman, Miles Jacobs wouldn’t hesitate to fire the other person.
Upon learning about the assessment content, Yasmin Zane was all smug smiles.
She even had a group of girls accompany her, waiting in the restroom when July Quinn walked in.
"You’ve never even been to college, so you probably don’t know what a presentation is, right? Why don’t I send you the file of my presentation document once I get hired, so you can study it?"
With Yasmin Zane leading the way, the other girls also chimed in.
"No way, Yasmin, she never even went to college?"
"How did she get hired if she can’t make a presentation?"
"I heard it’s because she’s busty, and her man doesn’t come home."
Yasmin Zane looked at July Quinn with disdain and mockery in her eyes.
The three questions July Quinn answered during her interview had already spread among those who participated in the interview that day.
While they marveled at July Quinn’s boldness, they also felt ashamed.
So afterward, they gossiped about it in their chat groups.
And since Yasmin Zane was well-educated with a good career prospect in the company,
there were people who wanted to ingratiate themselves with her by giving her the gossip about July Quinn.
"It’s just a job. Why resort to such shameless seduction?"
"It’s disgusting. Do her parents even know about her deeds outside the home?"
"If she ends up staying on the Caelan Sea project, then there’s definitely something fishy going on."
The group chattered on, but July Quinn didn’t pay them any mind, planning to leave after washing her hands.
Seeing that she was about to leave the restroom, Yasmin Zane quickly blocked her way.
"How about this, I’ll lend you a few beginner books on making presentations, so it won’t be too obvious a gap between us, making it seem like I’m bullying you."
Confident as she was, she was met with July Quinn’s indifferent reply: "No need."
Yasmin Zane’s smile faded a bit, and July Quinn added, "For someone with dual master’s degrees, if I, who never went to college, surpass you, that would be embarrassing!"
