She made no attempt to linger or eavesdrop; instead, she returned to her desk, resuming her work as though the
incident hadn't affected her.
Her colleagues, sensing the tension, held their breaths and subtly retreated, giving her space.
They had all witnessed the scene.
Vivien had been seen entering the third meeting room with the chairman!
“Good heavens... Vivien’s protector is the chairman himself?”
“This is the end for that poor woman, isn’t it?”
“I overheard Vivien mention she’s an investment advisor.”
“I hope she’s fine!”
“This mess is my fault. If Mr. Briggs intends to discipline that woman, I'll cforward and set the record

“Look at those three lousy proposals—one unfinished, two not even close to qualified—and she still gets twenty

Anxiety written all over his face, Hugh nervously twisted his fingers.
He hesitated to reveal that his relationship with Vivien’s mother effectively made him her stepfather, which in his
