The secretary remained composed yet the tone of her voice was quite harsh and there was even a tinge of ridicule ridicule?
Aleigha thought that she had seen wrongly. She blinked and looked at her once again. Sure enough, it was ridicule.
"Do you think that I have become Mrs. Xiao by hook or by crook, so I have no right to fire you?"
"Or do you think that what Adrian said about me being in charge is just a joke, you don't have to take it seriously at all?"
"You are not afraid of me because you think Adrian doesn't know what you have done and I'm only doing this out of my jealousy of you, right?"
The secretary sneered, and her lips curved into a perfect arc. "I think you know much better than me how you became Mrs. Xiao."
"And as for what I think, that's something I'd like to keep private as it is now."
"And you, an almost transparent little girl, especially when you are dealing with me, have no right to fire me or do anything to me."
"Now with Adrian as your sugar daddy, it's not that surprising you'd be all in over your head, thinking you are impeccable."
"But you are not, you are nothing but a slut who sold your v*gina to get to where you are now."
"Adrian, did you hear that?"
"Yes, you can leave now."
Adrian slowly walked out of the bedroom behind Aleigha with a cold glint in his eyes.
He came back overnight and had stayed in the bedroom all the time with no one noticing.
He was well aware of the movements of the secretary for the whole day, including all the words she just said.
"Mr. Xiao, I... I didn't mean what I said. She! This woman! This vile and cunning woman! She tricked me into saying those things!"
When the secretary saw Adrian, she was terrified as if she had looked right into the eye of hell, stepping back horrifiedly.
"Do you think we should press charges against her for commercial espionage or just let her go?"
"I'm a little tired. You can take care of the things here. I believe in you."
"Mr. Xiao, I’m sorry. Please don't leave me with her, I apologize, I know I've made a terrible mistake."
"I'm sorry for what I just said, I shouldn't have done that. Please, Mr. Xiao, mercy!"
The secretary ran to Adrian's feet and wrapped her arms around his legs.
A look of disgust flashed across Adrian's eyes as he kicked her away. He had always hated being touched by others.
The secretary had violated taboos a few times in a row. Kneeling on the floor, she choked with sobs. Adrian turned around and walked into the bedroom, ignoring what was happening outside.
Aleigha got up from the chair, walked to the secretary, and pinched her cheek.
"Not so transparent now, am I?"
"I wanted to give you a chance at first, who would expect you to be so cocky, huh?"
"What you have done is enough for me to send you to jail for the rest of your life. Now, do tell me, do you know why I can be Mrs. Xiao, not anybody else?"
Of course, the secretary knew.
And she knew it clearer than anybody else.
Because they were both demons. Cold, ferocious, merciless demons.
They were one of a kind, which meant no matter what Aleigha had done, Adrian would take her
side.
And he didn't even need a reason for it, simply because he would've done the same thing if he were in her shoes.
"Waiting for me to walk you to the door?"
"Madam, I don't want to go to jail." The secretary gritted her teeth and finally knelt down in front of Aleigha.
Aleigha's eyes flashed, and she said with a sneer, "I wouldn't wanna follow Adrian's footsteps by having danger lurking all around me."
"And it's not up to me whether you are going to jail or not but you."
