Chapter 697 Phoebe Is Trending Again

Phoebe caught the blatant hostility and mockery in Sandra's eyes and just smirked, "Sure thing."

Sandra pressed her lips together and said coldly, "I hope this doesn't happen again."

The tension between them was thick. The receptionist, sneaking glances, was worried they might start throwing punches any second.

She was debating whether to call the CEO's office to alert Theodore when she saw Sandra turn away.

Phoebe hesitated for a moment, then also turned and left, feeling a whirlwind of emotions.

Phoebe silently cursed herself. She shouldn't have come here today just to get humiliated.

Sandra carried the snacks upstairs, feeling annoyed by everything. As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she bumped into Carol, causing the snacks to scatter all over the floor. Carol had just gotten on Theodore's bad side and now ran into Sandra. Seeing the mess, she said, "I'm sorry, Ms. Ramirez."

Sandra slapped her, making Carol's head snap to the side. It took Carol a moment to process, her ears ringing.

Sandra, furious, said, "I made these snacks myself. Do you have any idea how much effort that took? Do you think your apology means anything?" Carol covered her face, staring at the arrogant Sandra in disbelief, tears welling up. "Ms. Ramirez, I didn't do it on purpose. Why did you hit me?" Sandra, thinking about Theodore meeting Phoebe, got even more irritated.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. "I hit you because I felt like it. If you don't like it, go complain to Theodore and see who he sides with." "You!" Carol was livid and was about to confront her when Lawton's voice came from behind, "Carol, did you deliver the documents Mr. Reynolds asked for?" Carol bit her lip, knowing Lawton was giving her an out. She bent down to pick up the scattered documents and hurried into the elevator. Lawton walked up to Sandra calmly and said, "Ms. Ramirez, Mr. Reynolds is in a meeting right now and isn't seeing anyone. Please leave."
