"It would be better if he bit his tongue and just die," she thought viciously.
When she went for work on Monday, Yasmine accidentally bumped into Leah at the company's entrance. Leah looked at her with resentment in her eyes as she held her belongings in her hand. Yasmine asked confusedly, "What are you doing?"
She did not know that Leah had resigned.
"Stop putting on an act,"
Leah glared at her in disgust and said through gritted teeth, "Yasmine Taylor, I'll prove you that your presence will only bring trouble to President Sebastian. Just you wait and see!"
Yasmine Taylor was left confused as she stared at Leah's resolute and retreating figure disappearing from the entrance. However, she did not take it to heart. She then stepped into the elevator.
At noon that day, the leader of the research and development team was in a panic upon discovering that the confidential documents stored in his computer had been lost. Those were the result of their hard work for the past two months. The office burst into an uproar at once. Yasmine was the most agitated. In order to get the products on the market as soon as possible, she had been called a fickle woman by Sebastian Simons!
"Aren't all the documents encrypted? How could they disappear?" "How would I know! My whole computer is encrypted, not to mention the documents. We're dead meat! How am I going to explain this to President Sebastian!"
The leader of the development team was annoyed and he was pulling his hair out as he spoke. He was so anxious to the point that he was going insane.
"Does anyone else know the password to your computer?"
"Yes. President Sebastian's secretary, Leah, knows the password too."
Leah...
Yasmine's face paled in horror, "Oh no, Leah left this morning. It seems she has resigned!"
"What?!"
Her colleagues were even more devastated and they cried out in despair. While everyone was still talking about it, Yasmine rushed into Sebastian's office with rage.
She slammed her hands on Sebastian's desk and shouted with a sullen face, "Don't you know who you hire as your employees? Do you not check their backgrounds properly before hiring them?"
"What's wrong?"
Sebastian raised his head and asked calmly.
Yasmine snapped, "Leah stole the information of our new product. She left this morning. You need to find her quickly!"
She thought that Sebastian would be furious upon hearing the news, but she did not expect him to still keep his cool. He said, "What's the big deal? If she steals it, then let her be. Now you can go to Gabriel and tell him the honest truth."
Yasmine was fuming and it almost made her blood boil. "How could you still make a joke like this at this moment? These new products determine whether your company would stand a chance to expand internationally. How could you have such an uncaring attitude towards this matter?"
"Don't worry. Even if she stole it, she might not even disclose it to the people in the same industry. How could a businessman be afraid to take any risk at all?"
"If she didn't want to disclose it to others, then why did she steal it? To eat?"
When she thought of Leah's venomous gaze and what she said this morning, Yasmine was absolutely frightened. Was it really because of her presence that led to Sebastian being betrayed?
All of a sudden, she felt dread in her heart.
The more they were worried about it, the more it was going to happen. Three days later, a company named Pegasus Corporation suddenly announced that they would be holding a press conference on their new line of products for the market.
What Yasmine could not tolerate was that the person in charge of this company was Claudine Tucker.
Leah leaked the confidential information to Claudine, someone whom Sebastian regarded as his arch-nemesis.
Yasmine was going bonkers. Sebastian's attitude was still indifferent as ever. It turned out that as long as Yasmine could draw a clear line between her and Gabriel, he did not care about the sacrifices he had to make.
Claudine was one step ahead in listing the products for sale. Everyone in the research and development department was bemused. On the day the confidential documents were leaked, the president did not immediately put the products on the market. Instead, he just watched as others stole their hard work and did nothing. To be honest, they were really dissatisfied and upset.
For this reason, Yasmine had been indifferent to Sebastian for three days. She could not accept him disregarding everyone's efforts due to his selfishness.
One day, Sebastian suddenly called Yasmine to his office and said, "I'm taking you to a place."
"Where are we going?"
