The True Heiress's Return

hapter 295

Many employees who heard Benji and the others were here came over to watch. When they saw Calton bluntly turning Berry down, they couldn't help but laugh, casting disdainful glances at Berry and others. Wendy felt completely humiliated, her face turning red with embarrassment, never expecting this kind of outcome.

Berry was equally embarrassed, inwardly cursing Calton and even his family, 'What a petty jerk. He not only targets me but also makes me lose face so publicly!'

Berry was extremely embarrassed and didn't know how to salvage the situation when, in the next moment, Calton, who had been distant just a second ago, turned toward a certain spot, his handsome face now showing a more amiable and approachable demeanor. Calton glanced at Shakira, who had just stepped out of the conference room to stretch, and changed his tone to her, "You came out of the same conference room... Are you colleagues?" out to

Shakira replied seriously, "These two are representatives from Norpa Technology sent to Lopez Group, specifically handling the new project. I'm in charge of following up on this meeting."

"I see." Calton nodded with a look of sudden realization, gestured toward the anxiously waiting person in charge with his chin, and asked, "What do you think of her?"

Wendy suddenly felt her heart leap.

Shakira exchanged a look with Calton and saw the mischievous glint in his eyes. She answered honestly, "Not bad."

Calton nodded, understanding instantly. "Not bad... So it means things aren't going well. Looks like I was right to reject them."

Berry was rendered speechless.

So was Wendy.

Wendy thought, 'Finally, the suspense is finally over. What is this all about?

'Isn't Berry Mr. Lopez's beloved girlfriend? Didn't the bigshots enjoy her handmade doughnuts during the Carnaval? How did things end up like this? Judging by this, it seems that Mr. Jennings treats Berry even worse than he treats a new intern at Lopez Group! 'If only I had known, I wouldn't have made things difficult for Shakira just now, or I wouldn't be in this awkward position.

Wendy shot Berry an angry look before heading back to the conference room.

Berry bit her lip hard and followed with her head down. As she walked past Shakira, she gave Shakira a dirty look.

From the brief conversation in the conference room; Shakira could roughly guess what was happening. It seemed that the one who pulled the strings mentioned in Xanthe's gossip wasn't Fiona, but Berry, who was trying to act big by using someone else's influence. Berry was really hooked on it. First, she pretended to be a fox to get close to Walter, and then she pretended to be the one who made doughnuts.
