Chapter 77

The report was very thin, making it very easy to overlook when it’s stacked with all the documents.

Sonia looked at the document that Alex had retrieved and forced a smile.

“The secretaries from Aether are so interesting. You can follow your boss with this level of

competence? Aren’t you ashamed of yourself?” Nina, who had been ignored all this while, sald with an

icy attitude. Her tone was high and mighty as she looked at Sonia.

Sonia was also quite sensitive, able to sense Nina’s unfriendliness. She clutched the seams of her

clothes and worked hard to straighten her back, working hard to look back at Nina’s hostile glare.

However, she quickly lowered her eyes after a moment and turned around, holding Alex’s sleeve and

whispering, “I’m sorry, Alex. I couldn’t find the file.”

Her tone was soft, but there was an embarrassed tone that was mixed inside and couldn’t be ignored.

Alex nodded and slowly said, “It’s not that important, anyway.”

When he said it was not important, Candice heard it all. Her hands on her legs curled into a fist before

letting it

go again.

The document that Alex said wasn’t important was something she had prepared through the night.

Sonia’s eyes were already red as she grabbed at Alex’s clothing even tighter, and her lips were

becoming pale.

She sniffed and shook her head.

“Alex” Nina could see Sonia’s expression, and her dislike of her was becoming very obvious. “Aren’t

you worried that you’ll make your client angry by taking an intern like her into a meeting?”

The sneer was too obvious. Sonia couldn’t help but look in her direction as she bit her lips, “Ms.

Burgess, is it?

I am Aether’s intern, and it’s my fault for being incompetent. It has nothing to do with Aether.”

Sonia had an innocent appearance, so one could easily pity her if they saw her teary expression.

She looked down and then added, “Ms. Burgess, please don’t link my incompetence to Aether. I didn’t

know

how Ms. Renault organized it.”

And then she pushed the problem toward Candice.

Nina looked at her miserable expression and then turned to Candice, who was sitting there quietly. The

latter

had no expression on her face, as if she had already gotten used to it.

Candice could feel her looking at her, and she quietly looked back at her.

Nina clicked her tongue, and her voice became even colder. She glared back at Sonia and said, “Don’t

be so quick to take all responsibility. I never said that it’s your fault.”

Sonia paused while Nina smiled, as if she didn’t want to talk to her anymore. And then, she

immediately said to Alex, “My mom is coming back this afternoon. If you’re thinking of meeting her with

someone like… this, you can forget about the contract.”

Nina stood up and then left. Before she left, she even gave Sonia a disdainful glare.

Meanwhile, Sonia froze completely after being glared at. Only when Nina had left did she finally regain

her composure, despite her face being as white as a ghost.

This time, she did cry as she held Alex’s arm and sobbed. “Alex, am I really that useless?”

Alex looked down as if he was considering something. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

However, only when he heard her words did she say, “No, you don’t have to worry about what she

said.”

Sonia was still feeling very sorry about it all and almost pounced into Alex’s arms. However, she

paused when her eyes shifted to Candice. As she bit her lips, she said, “When discussing the

partnership, I think you should still take Ms. Renault along, alright?”

Candice froze a little, as if Sonia was begging for some favor on her behalf.

She slowly stood up and then put all the documents that Sonia had messed up into one stack and said,

” Organizing documents is a basic skill that a secretary should have. Ms. Summers, your work

competency requires substantial improvement.”
