Chapter 27
However, Matthew thought it was good that Valerie didn’t see him. Otherwise, his identity would have been exposed and things would have become more complicated. He hated trouble, hated complications, and he felt it would be best that everything was under his control.
“I’m going upstairs to the meeting. You handle everything else. He gave Charles an order and strode upstairs, turning his head slightly to avoid Valerie seeing his face. It wasn’t until he reached the second floor and confirmed through the peep glass that Valerie couldn’t see him even if she looked this way, that he turned around. However, he found out Valerie was still eating the cupcake, not even looking up.
She clearly ate so much this morning, yet she can still eat. She’s such a foodie, thought Matthew
Valerie didn’t even notice that someone was looking at her. She drew a tissue and wiped the corners of her mouth, secretly saying in her mind. ‘It’s worthy of being the Noria Group Even the cupcakes they offer are incredibly delicious. However, she ate two at once and felt stale. She planned to get a glass of water to relieve herself, but unexpectedly, she was blocked by Isabel just as she stood up.
When she moved to the left, label blocked the left, and when she moved to the right, Tabel blocked the right. It was clear that Isabel was purposely Trying to oppose her.
Valerie frowned and glanced behind Isabel. “Hi, Mr. Grant”
The person who could be called “Mr. Grant in Noria Group could only be the CEO of Noria Group. Isabel was startled as she hurriedly, straightened her clothes and raised a sweet smile. But when she turned her head behind her, she found no one was there. She was instantly so angry that her face twisted. ‘I was so stupid to fall for Valerie’s trap. How could it be so quiet around if Mr. Grant had actually walked over?”
Valerie, on the other hand, took advantage of the time Isabel turned her head to walk slowly and leisurely away.
“Valerie, stop. I need to talk to you tabel was not willing to be fooled and was so angry that she stopped Valerie again. “I admit it was wrong of me to take your order, but since I’ve already given the order back to you, you guys need to get over it. Tell Katherine to keep her dirty mouth shut, and the next time she dares to talk too much about me and Dylan, don’t blame me for being rude to her.
Valerie frowned at her words. She could ignore Isabel’s provocations against her over and over again, but she couldn’t continue to tolerate it when Isabel targeted Katherine.
She couldn’t help but laugh lightly, ber eyes filled with contempt and sarcasm. “Isabel, as long as you don’t mess around, no one is interested in your shady little shenanigans.
Isabel felt as if she had been hit head–on. It seemed like this was the moment she realized that Valerie had literally never respected her. She was instantly irritated.
Valerie and I both have the same position, joined the company around the same time, and neither of us has a good background. Our goal is to make it big in the city. In other words, we’re both here to earn money, so why should I suffer so much while Valerie gets off so easily! Why? thought lubel in her hear.
A fierce look flashed in Isabel’s eyes. She clenched the wine glass in her hand, and whispered through gritted teeth, “What are you so proud of? You’re just relying on your good looks, aren’t you! I’ll make you embarrassed in front of everyone, making it difficult for you to survive in Noria Group and Arcton Cars.”
Isabel’s eyes were full of scheming and after speaking, she approached Valerie with the wine. Valerie was alerted and wanted to leave, but Isabel grabbed her wound.
When Katherine asked Valerie how she hurt her arm in the morning, Isabel wasn’t far away. Not only did she hear it, but she also memorized the location of Valerie’s arm injury. After she pinched it violently, Valerie immediately blanched in pain. “Isabel, are you crazy?”
Valerie instantly pushed the wine glass away. Anyone who disgraced herself at a party would be the laughingstock of the entire Noria Group.
Isabel was annoyed by her abstraction when another idea flashed through her mind. She smiled and said. “You think you’re safe because I didn’t spill wine on you?”
Splash!
Valerie watched with some confusion as Isabel raised her glass of wine.
With the sound of wine splashing out, Isabel simultaneously screamed, Valerie, why are you splashing me with wine?
