Vincent was about to answer when a figure appeared out of nowhere and crashed right into him.
Her documents were scattered on the floor. She apologized profusely, looking panicked. "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to run into you. Are you okay?"
It was Brianna. She was young and pretty, much like a nymph. Vincent wasn't the slightest bit interested, though.
He raised a hand and dusted off the spot where she'd run into him. He wasn't exactly disgusted, but he was most definitely displeased.
Alex asked reproachfully, "Which department are you from?"
"The executive department."
Alex understood now. "You're the new intern?"
"Yes." She held up her employee ID badge and stared at Vincent. "My name's Brianna Upshaw. Are you… Mr. Lewis?"
Vincent glanced at her and asked coolly, "When have our recruitment standards become so low, Alex?" He was saying that Brianna wasn't worthy of being in the executive department.
Alex nodded. "I'll deal with it right away."
Just then, Tiffany came out of the restroom. When Brianna saw her, she immediately said enthusiastically, "Tiff!"
Tiffany frowned. Brianna really wouldn't leave her alone, huh? The less she wanted to see her, the more she appeared in her life.
Vincent looked at Tiffany. "You know her?"
She was about to explain, but Brianna beat her to it. The latter linked arms with her and said, "Tiff and I are university friends and dormmates. We're best friends, too. Aren't we, Tiff?"
A trace of panic flitted past Tiffany's eyes. She hastily shook Brianna off and moved away to put some distance between them. "We used to be, but we're not anymore."
