The Deadly Assassin Robin by Tristan Storm

Chapter 187

Chapter 187 Mr Gill Has Already Proposed to Me

Vera was on the phone. Seeing the situation, she quickly gave an apologetic nod to the Dickers management team, gesturing for Alice to take a seat.

"Quit the act already. You're making it look so real."

After a brief moment of fluster, Alice smirked mockingly, glancing dismissively at several of the Dickers executives, and snatched the phone right out of Vera's hand.

A woman seated nearby said expressionlessly, "Ms. Silva, you must tell your secretary to absolutely prevent those trashy people who want to disrupt your work from entering your workspace. It will seriously hinder your work efficiency."

"What did you just say?" Alice turned back to the woman, irritated. "Did you call me trash? Vera and I are close friends; I came here to chat with her. How am I disrupting her work?"

Vera quickly pulled her aside. "Alice, I'll explain everything to you later."

Then, turning to the woman, she apologized, "Ms. Harlow, I'm so sorry. I've only just started in this position, so many people aren't fully aware of my current responsibilities.

"I wasn't involved in the group's management before, so they're not used to me in this role yet."

Anna Harlow hesitated for a moment, then gave a slight nod.

"My friend might have something urgent. I'll have Sarah come over right away," Vera said with a shrug to Anna.

Once Sarah arrived, she took Alice to a small lounge next door.

"Alice, didn't you say over the phone that it wasn't anything urgent? Otherwise, I wouldn't have had Anna and the others come in," Vera said.

Alice studied Vera intently.

Her entire look and demeanor had changed.

The once long, curly hair was now straight, and paired with a professional suit, she seemed much more polished and composed.

Alice felt herself looking at a stranger when she faced Vera.

The once easygoing, laid-back woman seemed entirely gone.

"Vera, what on earth happened? How did you end up taking over Silva Group? Where are your father and Quincy?" Alice shook her head, a glint of mockery in her eyes. "I don't like this new version of you. I preferred the old Vera."

Vera paused, managing a bittersweet smile. "I don't want to be like this either. I miss those carefree days, too, when life was simple, light as a breeze.
