In front of so many people, Cindy couldn’t vent her anger. She stormed back to her office with bitterness.
With the main character gone, the colleagues all dispersed like bees, returning to their desks without the heart to work.
"Charlotte is so gutsy, daring to confront Cindy like that. I love her personality."
"I feel like Cindy will soon target her, especially since she’s new here."
"Well, we’re all aware of Cindy’s tricks. It seems like the design department will have no peace from now on~"
Gossip had already begun amongst the small group of employees, and these were the kind ones towards Charlotte.
Their suspicions were correct. Cindy was already plotting how to take revenge for today’s embarrassment.
"From this day forward, Charlotte Thompson and I will not share the same sky."
Back in the office, she still found it hard to swallow her pride.
Her finely manicured fingers typed these words on the keyboard and with a swift move, shared it in the design department’s group chat.
Cindy led the design department and aside from work, they also had a group chat to gossip.
With the boss being so vocal about it, the employees, regardless of how much they admired Charlotte, could only feel sorry for her in their hearts.
Charlotte didn’t know yet about Cindy’s "banning order". At this moment, she was dealing with her burn.
Several red marks had appeared on her fair skin, all caused by high temperature burns.

Charlotte looked calm as she put ice on the wounds, her hand slightly trembling out of control.
"Sister Charlotte, are you okay?" Upon hearing the news, Coco rushed anxiously to check.
The burn sensation on Charlotte’s hand had subsided, and she shook her head indicating she was okay.
Coco was so worried that she grabbed Charlotte’s hand and upon discovering the light red marks, felt heartache.
"How did you get burnt this badly? And you say you’re okay."
Coco was so concerned that she gently blew on Charlotte’s hand.
Everyone knows a designer’s hands are the most precious part of them; they should be insured.
With one incident , what if it causes permanent damage and ruins her design career?
Seeing her care so much, a warm feeling swept through Charlotte’s heart.
Although Coco had only recently been hired as her assistant upon her return to China and didn’t have much experience, she was kind-hearted, diligent, and always considered Charlotte’s well-being.
That’s precisely why she insisted on bringing Coco with her to Vanguard Jewelry when signing the contract.
It would be a shame not to train and mentor such a good girl, wouldn’t it?
Even though these were only minor marks, Coco still applied medicine to her hands, worried that they would leave scars on Charlotte’s perfectly fair skin.
She just couldn’t understand how such a good person as Sister Charlotte could be treated with such malice by them.
With Cindy’s "banning order", the employees weren’t very enthusiastic about following Charlotte’s instructions in subsequent work.
Many of the tasks that were assigned weren’t properly completed, and Charlotte had to do them herself.
Every day she was engrossed in her work, having to take care of even the smallest things by herself.
Many unfinished jobs were taken home by her to work on, leaving her with hardly any time to rest.
Truthfully, she had never been treated during her time in Ashton.
Given her status, who wouldn’t be respectful towards her?
When under a roof, one must lower their head!
After several sleepless nights, the dark circles under Charlotte’s eyes were hard for Coco to bear.
But she was just a little assistant and couldn’t really stand up for Charlotte. All she could do was to help as much as she could to lighten her load.
