Jaw-Dropping Son-in-Law

Bailey's lips twitched at Jessica's outburst. She sighed and lamented, “Ms. Tanner is Eve Lussohn's student, so she is perfectly qualified for the task. Why did you all have to drag me into this?”

Bailey's lips twitched at Jessica's outburst. She sighed and lamented, “Ms. Tanner is Eve Lussohn's student, so she is perfectly qualified for the task. Why did you all have to drag me into this?”

Stephen smiled lightly and replied, “This is a great opportunity for you, Ms. Jefferson. As you know, Ms. Caridee is one of the Ten Acclaimed Socialites. If you produce a design to her satisfaction, you'll cement a career in this industry.”

Bailey scoffed in response.

She had her reasons for not caring for the opportunity.

Nonetheless, she replied half-heartedly to Stephen, “Fine. I'll try my best. If there's nothing else, I'm heading out.”

Stephen waved the phone in his hand at her and smiled. “Victoria texted me earlier, instructing me to personally escort you to the HR department after our conversation.”

Dread filled Bailey's soul. She could guess why Victoria was looking for her.

Bailey explained, “That, erm, nothing happened between Mr. Luther and me when I went to the CEO's office the other day. I swear. It's just a misunderstanding.”

“Your good friend Victoria is the one who has the misunderstanding.”

After leaving the director's office in the design department, Bailey turned down Stephen's offer to accompany her and headed to the HR department alone.

She walked past a few female employees gossiping in the pantry.

“Did you all hear? The designer sent from the Archulean branch to challenge Ms. Tanner is the heiress of the Jefferson family, Ms. Bailey. Sound familiar? She's the future Mrs. Luther's older sister.”

“Heiress? Please! How can she be considered an heiress? Mr. Jefferson kicked her out of the family ages ago for her sordid character. I have no idea how she caught Mr. Rhoudin's eye, and I can't believe she's shameless enough to challenge Ms. Tanner. What a joke!”

“Maybe she climbed into Mr. Rhoudin's bed to snag herself such a precious opportunity. I mean, didn't she do something similar to gain five million seven years ago?”

“Oh, you have a point. She must be skilled at seducing and pleasuring men. Her playbook must be pretty extensive.”

“Haha!”
