Chapter 78

Alice watched the manager fawn over Chloe, his flattery blatant. In the past, she would have been furious, but now, she felt nothing.

Chloe was also surprised by the manager’s excessive enthusiasm. Seeing Alice there initially annoyed her; after all, Alice was the true Lu heiress. Company people were always opportunistic. She hadn’t expected the manager to completely ignore Alice, likely due to Luke’s advance warning.

Chloe smiled politely. “Hello, everyone. I’m new here, please be patient with me.” The employees were overly enthusiastic. The team lead stood up, fawning.“Of course, Miss Alice. We’re thrilled to have such a beautiful addition to our team.”

Alice remained impassive, focused on her computer.
