Elaine deliberately enunciated the word "ability". Anyone could understand the meaning behind her words.
"Ability? I think it's likely that she's seduced someone in the higher-ups. Don't you agree?"
Quincy Zimmer asked Elaine with absolute certainty. She was even more certain of it when Elaine didn't give her an answer.
Before Charlotte entered the company, she had always been the top candidate for the position of chief designer. However, the night before she was told this position was already filled by someone else.
Elaine touched the necklace around her neck as Quincy left. A plan formed in her mind.
She wanted to make it so Charlotte will leave the Emerson Corporation without her even lifting a finger.
At the gate of the kindergarten.
Shane held Sheryl's hand as they walked into the kindergarten. Class usually starts at nine o'clock so Shane wasn't in a hurry.
"Daddy, this is my kindergarten."
Sheryl pointed at the building before them proudly. She seemed to be very excited. After some thought, she suddenly asked him hopefully, "Daddy, will you bring me to kindergarten all the time?"
"Sure."
Shane agreed without hesitation and stroked her hair adoringly.
"You're..."
"Good morning, teacher."
Shane didn't intend to reply, but when he heard Sheryl's sweet voice, he glanced over calmly.
"Teacher, he is my new daddy."
Sheryl raised her head proudly as if she was showing off something precious to everyone else.
"Teacher, although my daddy is very handsome, you can't steal him away. He belongs to my mommy only."
Sheryl blinked innocently and tugged at Shane's hand. He couldn't help but smile at her words.
"It's almost time for class. Sheryl's daddy, you can hand her over to me."
A blush suddenly appeared on the woman's face as she frantically took Sheryl's hand from the tall and handsome man.
"Daddy, bye."
Sheryl waved at the man who was standing in the middle of the crowd. She was somewhat reluctant to part with him.
"Charlotte, these are the original design drafts that Mr. Miller needs. We're all too busy now so you would have to send them over."
Quincy glared at the people around and instantly put on an anxious look.
"Alright."
Charlotte was already kind-hearted to begin with. She took the stack of design drafts and walked out. She did not notice the vicious gaze behind her at all.
"You obviously had the time to go..."
Someone pipped in weakly from beside. Quincy glared at her and she immediately quieted down.
Everyone in the company knew that she was Director Emerson's handy assistant. Anyone who crossed her will have no choice but to leave the company.
It seemed that Charlotte's good days had come to an end.
At this moment, Charlotte was staring blankly at the rising numbers in the elevator. She did not know danger was approaching her.
Suddenly, she realised something was wrong. Charlotte's heart instantly jumped to her throat.
The lift began to fall bit by bit. Without any warning, it descended into a free fall. Charlotte was filled with fear.
"Is anyone there?"
Charlotte didn't dare take another step towards the elevator's door.
She was answered by the echoes of her own voice.
"Why hasn't Charlotte returned yet? Could something have happened?"
The colleague, who was sitting closest to Charlotte, couldn't help but mutter.
"Felix, do you like Charlotte? Who knows if she's in Mr. Miller's warm embrace by now. You have nothing to be worried about."
Quincy rolled her eyes disdainfully and was about to leave with her cup of coffee.
"Stop right there."
Felix Williams clenched his fists tightly. He strode forward and blocked the took a long step and directly blocked the bully of a woman.
