Chapter 297: 297: Unaware of the Impending Danger
Usually bustling with activity, the office floor was incredibly hushed this morning. Not a single person dared to make a fuss upon entering; everyone quietly slinked back to their seats, heads down, after seeing who was inside.
As usual, Thea Wood arrived at the company right when she needed to clock in.
Today, she went out of her way to dress up stellarly, even spritzing on more perfume than usual. All the way, she chatted and laughed happily with her friends about yesterday afternoon, “Hey, did any of you discover that woman this morning?
“No idea, someone went to the bathroom, so they might have found her.
Anyway, I’m sure no one discovered her last night.”
“Haha, she deserves it! What’s with her being so arrogant? And daring to openly slander me. Heh, so cocky, no wonder we taught her a lesson!”
“Exactly, remember yesterday when she was locked in the bathroom? She even had the nerve to ask us to let her out. Psh, we’re not stupid, why would we let her go? She’s so aggressive—she even dares to hit men. What if she injured us?
Who would we turn to then?”
Just thinking about Enna Clark stuck in the bathroom yesterday afternoon made Thea’s spirits soar. Still, she pretended to be concerned, “Did we go too far? What if she tries to get revenge on us?”
Undaunted, the girls confidently replied, “Let her try! Does she have any proof? Besides, we have far more sponsors than her. As long as Heartbeat’s not an idiot, they’ll know whose side to take. At most, she’ll just make a fuss with us.
Are we afraid of her when there are so many of us?”
Thea, of course, had already considered everything the girls brought up. Her red lips curved up into an enchanting smile as she interrupted, “Alright, let’s head in now. Clock-in time is almost here.”
“Let’s go, let’s go. After dealing with that woman, I was so excited last night that I couldn’t sleep well. I need to make up for it with a beauty nap once I get to the office.”
“Same here, I was excited all night.”
Laughing and joking, the group boarded the elevator.
At that moment, Thea’s phone rang.
“Who is it?” She pulled her phone from her bag, slid open the message, and saw it was from Riley.
Thea, the President is on the office floor, and he doesn’t seem to be in a good mood.
The President?
A posh, upright figure surfaced in Thea’s mind.
Unable to help herself, her heart raced, and she automatically ignored the part about him being in a bad mood.
“What’s up? Who texted you?” One of the girls noticed her checking her phone and asked.
Thea put her phone away and casually said, “Nothing much, just a message from my program director, Riley. He told me the President’s at the office right now.”
“The President? Really?” “So we can see the President?”
“We’re so lucky!”
The excitement was evident among the group as they sneakily compared each other’s outfits in the elevator mirror. Naturally, those who had dressed up carefully, like Thea, reveled in the situation. But there were also some who hadn’t slept well and hadn’t bothered dressing up, secretly regretting not waking up earlier for a better appearance.
Finally.
The elevator stopped on the third floor.
The girls raised their heads and puffed out their chests in unison, showing off their best angles. They took out their swipe cards and entered the office..
