Chapter 313

Still half-asleep, Victoria was jolted awake by a few sharp taps on her office window.

"Victoria. My office, now."

Violet didn't wait for a response, just turned and walked away, leaving Victoria no choice but to stand up and follow, her steps a little unsteady.

That man was just too much—she'd already decided there was no way she'd go to him again tonight. She needed a proper night's sleep.

When she entered Violet's office, Violet said coolly, "Close the door."

Victoria didn't budge. "If you have something to say, Ms. Marchand, just say it. There's nothing here that others can't hear."

All this secrecy-she could already imagine the office rumor mill going into overdrive.

Victoria was tired of it. Somehow, she was always at the center of every bit of gossip in the company. Wasn't everyone obsessed with Violet and McNeil before? When had she become public enemy number one?

Violet's hand clenched tight around her pen. "Just a reminder to focus on your work. If you're too tired to do your job, don't bother showing up. Everyone here is working hard-what exactly are you doing?"

Victoria blinked, stunned. She was working herself to the bone too, she just didn't parade it for everyone to see like Violet did, as if she was the only one putting in any effort.
