Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)

Chapter 519 It's Great to Be a Woman

Astrid angrily stepped forward, but I pulled her back to our workstations. There was no point in arguing with someone like Mackenzie-she would only drag us down to her level. Right now, the priority was the Gray Realty project.

The project lead from Gray Realty had messaged me earlier, explaining that they were waiting for their boss' approval to proceed. It wasn't going to be a straightforward deal.

After realizing we were ignoring her, Mackenzie shifted her snide remarks to the rest of the team. She was like a bad apple spoiling the bunch, dragging down everyone's mood. She loved flaunting her status as the "CEO's sister" but barely contributed anything meaningful. On top of that, her sloppy work was full of mistakes that we had to clean up, often by staying late.

I couldn't help but wonder how someone from a top-tier university could be this incompetent.
