Goodbye Cheater Hello CEO’s Wife by Payne Walter

Chapter 45

Isabella and Rihanna were assigned to the design department. Their manager, Nigel Yost, was a slightly overweight middle–aged man in his forties. He wore a standard black suit and had a friendly smile.

He was exceptionally caring and would bring them along wherever he went, even during lunch at the canteen. He worried they weren’t familiar with the flow of things and would check in on them, which caused them to feel overwhelmed by his kindness.

Isabella and Rihanna felt mildly uneasy as there were rumors that Vaughn Corporation was incredibly strict with their employees. Yet, they managed to remain without breaking a sweat. They couldn’t determine whether it was due to sheer luck or their capabilities.

As such, they could only thread carefully in the workplace. Such a tense atmosphere unintentionally made them grow much closer to one another while working together.

Rihanna had a cold personality and initiated socializing even less than Isabella.

Intending to change herself, Isabella approached her colleagues automatically and asked courteously if there was anything she and Rihanna

Isabella was much more approachable than Rihanna. She had a genuine smile, clear eyes, polite manners, and a wa charisma won everyone over in no time.

Privately, however, Isabella and Rihanna were the closest to one another. Sometimes, they’d exchange glances before sneaking to the pantry to catch a break or head to the restroom together.

Rihanna was slightly more talkative to Isabella than others.

“Rihanna, have you noticed that although our department seems busy, only the five designers out of around a dozen staff are doing actual work? The rest are just fooling around.” Isabella sipped a mouthful of coffee at the bar counter and whispered in Rihanna’s ear. The walls have ears, especially since they were rookies in the workplace. Isabella was conscientious but still couldn’t resist the urge to gossip.

Rihanna drank some water expressionlessly and leaned closer to Isabella, muttering, “That’s because aside from our department’s five
