Chapter 280 Only You
“It’s Transfix Cosmetics’ annual event today, Ms. Willow. If Ms. Sophie finds out…” Wilma trailed off. Willow sneered.
“Trying to threaten me with Sophie? Do you think I’m scared of her?” Wilma frowned. It’s going to be hard dealing with Ms. Willow without Ms. Sophie around.
“I said, fire her, or else.” Caleb heard the commotion. When he came to see what was going on, he saw Willow making an unreasonable demand. A frown appeared on his brows. I take my eyes off them for two seconds, and this happens?
“What’s going on, Willow?” “Caleb, this lowly employee won’t even listen to me! Unbelievable!” Willow teared up. She obviously did it on purpose! A simple apology isn’t enough! Caleb sighed.
“Enough, Willow. Calm down.”
“I’m sorry, Ms. Willow! I’m really sorry! Please, have mercy on me!” Wendy was in tears right now. She didn’t mean what she did to Willow. That was just something she did on the spur of the moment.
“That’s enough. Wear this, Willow.” Caleb took his suit jacket off and draped it over her. Tristan and Sophie came back just in time to see this. Sophie approached the scene.
“What happened?” she asked. Wendy cried even harder the moment she saw Sophie.
“You’re behind this, aren’t you, Sophie? You hate me, so you told her to splash that wine on me.” The more Willow talked, the angrier she was. How could they do this to me? Sophie gave her a look that said, “Are you mad?”
“What are you, mad? Shut up and go home. This is an office.”
“We still don’t know whose fault this is. Can you be nicer to her?” Caleb chided. Can’t you see she’s crying? Tristan looked at him. “What happened?” he asked, and everyone quieted down.
“Ms. Sophie didn’t tell me to do anything. I just got angry seeing Ms. Willow trying to seduce Ms. Sophie’s boyfriend, so I splashed her with wine.” Wendy decided to step up for the woman who had given them so much.
I won’t let anyone slander her.
“Why, you little…” Willow felt like she could have a heart attack at any moment. The other ladies nodded in agreement.
“Yeah, we saw it too. While Ms. Sophie was drawing the prizes for everyone, Ms. Willow kept showing off her skin to Ms. Sophie’s boyfriend, but he didn’t even spare her a look.”
Soon, everyone else chimed in as well.
“We saw it too.”
“Yeah. Trying to steal your own sister’s boyfriend is despicable. I can’t believe she’d do this.” The more they spoke up, the paler Willow’s face became.
“T-That’s a lie! They’re lying, Caleb! I didn’t do anything!” She looked to Caleb for help, but he shook his head. Apparently, he didn’t believe her at all.
“All right, that’s it. We’re going home.” It was embarrassing to find out that his sisters were fighting over one man.
“You’re leaving? After she hit someone?” Sophie blurted coldly. Caleb’s brows knitted together.
“We’re not gonna talk about this anymore. I know Willow’s at fault, but your employee’s partly responsible too.”
And we’re your family. She’s not.
“I’m fine, Ms. Sophie. This is partly my responsibility too.” Wendy felt a little ashamed of herself since she didn’t mean to cause Sophie any trouble.
“Apologize,” Sophie said coldly. Nobody told them to come. They came uninvited and tried to bully my employee. That is something I won’t stand for.
