Genevieve had never spoken to Lucia in such a harsh tone before, leaving Lucia more surprised than embarrassed. “Genevieve… what’s wrong?”

Genevieve didn’t respond and simply turned to walk back to her office.

As Lucia felt the curious gazes of her colleagues, her face turned red with embarrassment. When her eyes met Nyla’s, her anger flared even more. She was certain Nyla was waiting to see her make a fool of herself.

Suppressing her rage, she bit her lip and followed Genevieve into the office.

As soon as the door closed, Genevieve threw a document onto the desk in front of her. Take a look!”

Her tone was full of disappointment, and her gaze on Lucia was disapproving.
