Chapter 522: Little Bunny, You’re So Kind

Mona agreed to Gemma's proposal-not because she doubted Heather's abilities, but because the matter was important, and having one more person involved provided additional assurance.

Gemma walked out of the office with a smile, brimming with satisfaction. She approached Heather and said, "The General Manager has approved it. We'll be picking up Candy together."

Heather felt a pang of discomfort but knew there was nothing she could say, not after Mona had spoken. Naturally, she could only agree.

"Fine. I'll make a copy of the itinerary for you, but don't mess it up," Heather replied.

"Me? Mess up? Heather, you think too highly of yourself. Don't think having Miss Montgomery's backing makes you better than me. This time, I'll show you what real capability looks like," Gemma retorted, snatching the itinerary from Heather's desk.

"If you want a copy, make it yourself. The original is mine."

The office was nearly empty, with most employees out on fieldwork, so Gemma didn't bother keeping up appearances.

Heather frowned deeply. Why was there always someone like this in the workplace? Polite and professional in front of the boss, but two-faced behind their back.
