They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System

Chapter 267: Unbelievable Chapter 267: Unbelievable “Oh my gosh!

You work closely with the head manager?” Lilian’s eyes widened in amazement as she leaned forward, barely able to contain her excitement.

“I thought the assistant’s position wasn’t that great, but now?

It might be scary, but I wouldn’t mind working closely with him.

That’s like being second in command!

Even the vice manager will have to show you some courtesy!” Her words hung in the air for a moment, thick with realization.

She had said it so excitedly, so full of admiration, but then, as quickly as the enthusiasm flared up, she forced herself to calm down.

She wasn’t jealous.

No, she refused to be.

After all, she and Kosi had chosen their positions willingly.

They had left the assistant role for Nnenna, assuming it was just a minor job.

At the time, they had no idea who the man truly was.

He had simply been someone willing to give them a chance, and Nnenna had been the one to accept the unknown assistant role without hesitation.

Still, a small whisper in the back of her mind tried to sow doubt.

What if Nnenna knew?

What if she had known he was the head manager all along?

Was that why she had so confidently taken the job while they had scrambled for other positions?

Lilian felt the heat of the thought rise in her chest, threatening to turn into something ugly, resentment, jealousy, the bitterness of missed opportunity.

But she caught herself.

She had always known how dangerous the mind could be.

It was in human nature to battle emotions like envy, anger, bitterness, and malice.

These thoughts came like uninvited guests, whispering doubts and insecurities, trying to find a place to settle.
