Chapter 9: Chapter 8: The Two-Faced CEO

Faced with the sudden questioning, Elliana Lyle furrowed her brows slightly. She tilted her face to look at the tall woman with a slightly angry expression and retorted, "And who are you?"

"I’m Susan, the head designer of Melody Harmony. Where did you, little brat, come from?" The woman who claimed to be the director placed the documents she was holding onto Norman Bennett’s desk.

Then, she walked towards Elliana in her seven-centimeter heels, looked down at her, and commanded, "Get out."

"Why should I? Even Raymond Wood doesn’t dare to talk to me like that." Elliana wasn’t afraid of her in the slightest; instead, she leaned back into the sofa even more.

"If you don’t get up, I’ll have to call security." Susan said calmly, but she had no intention of getting physical.

Susan had just returned from Country M and successfully applied for the position of head of fashion design at Melody Harmony this month. At Melody Harmony, even the lowest-ranking employees dress better than this brat, so she concluded Elliana wasn’t anyone important, perhaps at most a distant relative of Assistant Wu.

It was also Elliana’s attire that was to blame; it was gifted to her by her high school friend, Nancy. Nancy came from a poor family and met Elliana through her excellent academic performance. However, they grew apart in college and eventually lost contact, and Elliana couldn’t find Nancy anymore.

"Go on, call them! Let’s see if they dare take me away! I’m Norman Bennett’s fiancée!" Elliana was originally a pampered young lady who used to have a bad temper. Even though she had softened over time, she wasn’t someone to be bullied easily.

"Ha!"

Susan let out a cold laugh, squatted down, and with slightly curled red lips, remarked, "Though you’re somewhat attractive, you can never fit into the upper society. Do you know who the CEO is? Girl, I advise you to stop daydreaming and leave now to avoid trouble."

Seeing the woman squat to speak to her, Elliana immediately felt discriminated against. Wasn’t it just because she was tall and had long legs? What’s so great about that...

Even though Elliana was short, she had a perfectly proportioned figure, just like a scaled-down version of a long-legged beauty.

"I’m not leaving! Call security if you can?" Elliana was determined to go all out against this Susan today.

"Fine." Susan narrowed her phoenix eyes. The girl thought security wouldn’t dare to kick her out because of Assistant Wu. The regulations at Melody Harmony were strict, so even if Susan helps remove a nuisance for Assistant Wu, she might even earn a favor.

Then Susan made a phone call, and soon two men arrived. They were from the design department and were her men.

"Take her away, use the service passage," Susan ordered, and the two casually dressed men approached to grab her.
