“Lucy’s a bit out of luck. Mr. Willows‘ woman got her hands on a video and even showed it around, but Lucy accidentally bumped into her, knocking the phone and breaking it. Now everyone’s saying she’s guilty, and the whole thing’s turned into a massive drama,” Selene said, lowering her voice as she spoke, still biting her straw.

“Let me check,” Joycelyn replied, pulling out her phone and sitting at her desk to message Lucy.

They had both been so busy lately and while they occasionally chatted, Joycelyn hadn’t heard Lucy mention anything about

this.

Joycelyn thought, ‘It could’ve been that time last month when Zachary caught me in his office and secretly filmed me. The video probably ended up in Lucy’s hands, and she might’ve bumped into the phone on purpose to protect herself.

When Joycelyn sent the message, Lucy was busy, and it took a while before she replied, saying the issue had blown over.

Joycelyn thought, ‘No wonder she’s been avoiding Isolde’s invitations lately. She’s probably trying to stay out of trouble.

Joycelyn had been in the office for a while. An hour before the end of the workday, she gathered up some documents, ready to take them upstairs.

Joycelyn was now a key talent being nurtured at the Grant Group. No one questioned her when she headed to the President’s office. Everyone encouraged her to perform well.

In the President’s office, Ellison handled his work while listening to Sandra report on what was happening at school.

“Liam looks like a total nerd, but there are a few senior students and professors in their lab who are pretty strict and have some influence,” Sandra started, giving a report.

Hearing this, Ellison frowned, clearly displeased, and lifted his gaze just in time to see Joycelyn standing in the doorway, holding a stack of papers.

“Benny, take over,” he said.

As soon as Ellison spoke, Sandra, who had been doodling on her iPad, quickly set it down, jumped up from the sofa in a flash, and darted over to Joycelyn.

Joycelyn felt the wind from her movement, her bangs blown aside in an instant as Sandra appeared right in front of her.
