Chapter 1659
A stranger's face cinto sight when | entered the building and looked at the front desk.
The receptionist smiled at me, rose to her feet, and bowed. She was polite, but | could still see the contempt in
the corners of her eyes.
| looked at her. She was fashionably dressed. | could see that she was no longer an intern.
Interns would usually dress in plain and simple clothes when they had just started working in the company.
Moreover, they would not have such contemptuous looks in their eyes.
| reckoned that the woman must have worked in the company for stime, but
she was a senior | seldom saw.
The moment | turned around the corner, | heard noises coming out from the office, followed by someone
passionately calling me.
"Boss, what brings you here today?"
It was the human resource manager, Lisa.
"lI cto see if everyone's doing well. Is Cindy here? | need to talk to her."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt| went straight to the point.
Lisa's expression changed when she heard Cindy's name.
"Oh, Ms. Reed. She's probably at her work station. She's been busy with work for the past few days." Lisa turned
around and ledto the office.
The noises in the office had quieted down now. 1 looked at my ex-colleagues and
snew workers who had just joined. | wore a smile on my face, but it did not mean anything.
| was no longer involved in the management of the company. There was no need forto give a speech or say
anything to them in public. As for the other affairs, | would just leave them to them to handle them.
They were confused when they sawcoming back to the company all of a sudden while carrying a big belly.
However, it was just like what | told Theo in the car. Most of them were just curious.or jealous of me. None of
them truly wanted to harmThey only dared to watchfrom far behind, and there was hardly anyone who
dared to cforward and challenge me.

Lisa kept on heading straight. There was still no sign of Cindy. When | was wondering where she was, someone
slammed the table angrily.
"Cindy Reed, what the hell are you doing? Don't take your anger out on someone else just because you're no
longer popular!
Jessie should be the one shooting for the commercial. What makes you think that you can take it away from
her?"
I saw Cindy, who was sitting behind a pile of items. She shot a glance at the person who was yelling at her
indifferently and asked, "Did she sign the contract?"
The person was flabbergasted and rendered speechless.
| noticed that the person yelling at her was so angry that she had nowhere to vent her emotions. | knew she had
not signed the contract yet.
The company had specified that no unhealthy competition was allowed in the scompany.
If one of the celebrities had already
signed the contract with the brand, the other celebrities who were in the scompany were not allowed to
steal the job unless it was a special case.
Other companies had the srules too.
Turning against each other in the scompany... Would that not be a joke to outsiders?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlthough everyone knew that
celebrities fought among
themselves in the entertainment industry, it would be better not to cross each other's lines at least on the
surface.
However, if the contract had not been signed, then it would be a different story.
"How can you say that | snatched it away from you when you haven't signed the contract? Jessie couldn't get the
job. Does that have anything to do with us?"
"You!" The person lifted her hand as she was about to lay a hand on her. Lisa was one step ahead of them and
stopped her.
"Hey, we're all colleagues. Why are you giving such a big reaction to her words?" said Lisa.
The two of them turned around and looked at her when Lisa stepped forward. That was when they noticed me.
The agent who was yelling at Cindy earlier immediately reined in her temper and said, "Wanda, why are you
here?"

Cindy shot a glance at me. She stood up to show respect, but she did not greet me.
