Nina Sinclair snapped back to reality, "Is there something you need?"
Millie Langley had a shy look on her face, "Um... I have a blind date tonight..."
At this moment, Nina glanced at her watch and realized it was already time to clock out.
"Oh, then you can head home now, be careful on your way." Nina waved Millie off and added, "Best of luck with your date."
Millie smiled awkwardly as she left with her bag.
Nina stood up and walked over to Sunny Hale’s desk, noticing how much Sunny had already thought up today, making Nina feel quite inadequate by comparison. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on No(ᴠ)ᴇlFire.nᴇt
"Sunny, it’s the end of the workday, you can head home now, too."
"Okay, I’m off then." Sunny packed up her things and was about to leave when Nina thought of something and said, "Keep all your designs with you before they go into production, don’t hand them to anyone else."
Hearing Nina’s reminder, Sunny’s expression grew serious.
Both she and Nina were aware of how dangerous things could be around them, so it was better to be cautious.
"Got it." Sunny put her things back into her bag, waved goodbye to Nina, and left.
Nina pulled out her phone only to find that Julian Lancaster had sent her a message asking her to wait for him at the company entrance.
She quickly gathered her things and headed down.
Outside, the weather was misty, with fine drizzle floating down like tiny strands, resembling sand dancing in the wind, wetting the surrounding trees and greenery.
At this moment, a crowd was gathering at the entrance of Zenith Corporation.
Leading the group was Rebecca Lowell, with Heidi Leighton and a few other employees from Nia standing beside her.
Today, Rebecca accidentally let slip at Nia that President Lancaster would pick her up after work for a date. Wanting to see if the President she knew was indeed Julian Lancaster, Heidi decided to join the wait.
Unexpectedly, it started raining, leaving everyone huddled at the building entrance.
Some of Nia’s employees were newcomers and didn’t know about Rebecca and the President.
Now, hearing about her romance with the President, many were curious and crowded over to see the spectacle.
Just as everyone was waiting, Nina came out of the elevator.
She saw the group crowded at the entrance and, taking a closer look, spotted Rebecca and Heidi, causing her to frown.
Turning to glance outside, seeing the drizzle, she resigned herself to waiting there.
While everyone was waiting for the rain to stop, Nina did her best to avoid Rebecca, but Rebecca was not about to leave her alone.
Rebecca had noticed Nina earlier, and upon seeing her standing aside, shot her a mocking glance.
Could this woman be here to watch President Lancaster pick her up?
A few women from Nia, knowing about Rebecca’s relationship with the President, had been trying to get close to her and were well aware of her grudge against Nina.
Now seeing Nina approach, someone immediately said, "Tsk, Nina, why are you squeezing in? Do you think just because you look okay, you can set your sights on President Lancaster?"
"How hilarious, does she really think anyone who flirts can catch President Lancaster’s eye?"
"Exactly! President Lancaster isn’t that shallow!"
"I bet she knows she’s lost, and now she’s just trying to cling to someone strong."
"Rebecca, honestly, you should be careful. Women like her are really good at seducing men; you can’t let her, a homewrecker, succeed."
