Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)

Chapter 505 You're Irrelevant

Now that we had new blood in the department, it seemed like everyone was much more proactive. However, all of it revolved around Mackenzie.

Someone would always bring her breakfast, and she didn't have to worry about work either. If she ran into any issues she couldn't handle, she could always let someone else handle it. Mr. Finnley would even take her out for business negotiations. In the blink of an eye, Mackenzie became the most popular person in the design department. It almost seemed like all she had to do every day was look pretty and she would be able to take on any project; she didn't have to work at all. Meanwhile, Astrid and I diligently worked every single day and avoided Mackenzie. Both of us probably were too obvious with it because she would lob sarcastic remarks at us every day.

"Some people are just born to work like dogs. What's the point of working overtime every single day? It's just a project, for God's sake. My brother can secure it with a snap of his finger. Do you two really think you're something special?" When I let Astrid join my design team, Mackenzie was extremely displeased with us. She would make things difficult for me from time to time.

Mackenzie even messed up my design on several occasions, and she would defend herself with the same excuse every time; she was just an intern. So, it was normal for her to not know anything about it.

At first, my colleagues would defuse the situation and tell me not to get mad at the CEO's younger sister. Once enough time passed, they found Mackenzie to be overly cocky too.

It was just that Mr. Finnley still treated her with unusual thoughtfulness and warmth. So, no one dared say anything.

got retorted by Astrid that she actually pitted herself against us. Our project was highly confidential in the first place. In order to prevent information from leaking out, even Mr. Finnley had to stay away. However, Mackenzie was adamant about following us to our little meeting. Astrid couldn't take it anymore.
