The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 420 The Most Miserable Person

"Hey Veda, got any time to hang out with us lately? Or are you swamped with work? Need an assistant or something? I could totally help out. Think about it, okay?"

"Come on, Veda, we're tight, right? Finding me a job should be a breeze for you."

"Veda, you're loaded and managing all those employees. Lending me fifty grand shouldn't be a big deal, right?"

"Veda, seriously? Wasn't that project supposed to be a collaboration with my dad? What happened?"

Veda walked down the street, rolling her eyes as she listened to the barrage of voice messages on her phone. By the time she got to the last one, she couldn't hold back any longer and snapped at her phone.

"Your dad's project had major issues. I told you that before, didn't I? Stop trying to cut corners," she retorted.

Then she switched to another chat window. "Sure, we're friends, but Smith Corporation doesn't just hire anyone. If you're really qualified, go through the proper channels. Using connections will only get people talking."

She continued to shut down her freeloading so-called friends one by one until they had nothing left to say, unable to guilt-trip her anymore.

Feeling a bit better, Veda still had one thing weighing on her mind: her relationship with the Smith family.

She was grateful to Michael for letting her study for an MBA and manage Smith Corporation. But ever since Scarlett was kicked out of the family, Mason had been lukewarm towards her, while he doted on Emily.

And Michael? He always treated her like a company superior, even though it was his own heartbreak that had everyone on edge.

Veda couldn't understand how she went from being the pampered rich girl of the Smith family to someone nobody cared about.

What went wrong?

The more she thought about it, the less she wanted to go back to the Smith Mansion, work at Smith Corporation, or deal with the endless family drama. She just wanted to be alone and have a few peaceful days.

As she looked at the bustling street, she sighed deeply. Just as she was about to hail a cab, she spotted Emily with another man.
