Married a Secret Billionaire by Breaking Wave

Cordelia pressed her lips together, having no intention to argue with her. She was about to go around Karine when the latter blocked her way.

“Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to behind everyone’s backs!” Karine was domineering. “Cordelia, you know very well how you managed to close this sale!”

Cordelia trained her gaze on her, her bright eyes shining with anger. She was usually smiley and hospitable, rarely ever wearing such a cold and stern expression.

It was like she had become a different person, and Karine could not help taking two steps back.

“How did I close the sale?” Cordelia repeated each word with emphasis. “Based on my capabilities! The sales proposal I burned the midnight oil for one whole week and edited countless times? Mr. Sean was happy with it, that’s why he signed it! You worked on it for three months and still couldn’t get it because you’re incapable! Yet instead of reflecting, you blame others for working harder than you?”

“Hah, you worked hard?” Karine glared harder at Cordelia. “Worked hard to get into some man’s bed?! You think you can do anything you like because the director always takes your side?”

“Karine Carmichael, watch your mouth! What does this have to do with the director? I had rarely ever spoken to the director before I sealed this deal!”

“Who knows? Humph, you haven’t done so in the company, but you might have so many times in private!”

“You—” Cordelia was red from rage.

The two women’s argument attracted a crowd. Someone tried to separate the two of them as a mediator, but Karine refused to relent and Cordelia was unwilling to be insulted for no reason and insisted on bringing the matter up to the director.
