The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

Chapter 816 She Calls Him Husband Affectionately

After being called out, Whitney could not help but sneeze a few times.

Isaac, with a concerned tone, asked, “What’s wrong?”

Whitney shook her head, bringing the conversation back on track. She asked, “Did he give you any instructions?”

“Mr. Newton has asked me to convey that you shouldn’t continue with the cleaning chores. O-Otherwise, there would be no need for you to stay in the Newton Group any longer.”

A slight twitch tugged at the corner of Whitney’s mouth. Huh? Does he think I did that voluntarily?

Considering her status as an intern and her limited knowledge of workplace rules, those people assigned tasks to her that were beyond her purview.

However, Isaac’s tone was already quite tactful. It was possible that Charles’s initial words were even harsher. Fine.

“Got it.” Whitney acknowledged, feeling a bit of a headache coming on. She then asked, “Is there anything else?”

“That’s all. Please take good care of yourself. I’ll be leaving now.” As the words fell, Isaac turned and left.

Whitney also returned to her own workstation, continuing the work she had not finished earlier.

Splat!

A stack of files suddenly landed on her desk. Whitney looked up, meeting the arrogant gaze of her female colleague, Lana.

Lana hugged her own arms and huffed lightly, “What are you looking at? You need to input all of these into the system by midnight. You’ll be held accountable if you can’t complete it on time and cause a delay for those handling the subsequent tasks.”,

The stack of documents that Lana brought was so high that it completely obscured Whitney’s face.

Whitney flipped through the documents on the table, all filled with data and meeting records.

If she remembered correctly, the content of these documents was not within the scope of what she should be recording.

She stood up and declined. “Lana, this is not part of my job. I won’t do it.”

There was no way she could complete the documentation of those files even working late into the night. tomorrow. It was evident that Lana was simply delegating all the strenuous work to her,
