"Miss Hodges, may I trouble you to take us there?" Abbie looked at me with a smile.
I still don't know where she wanted me to take me, but I instinctively thought that there was no good news. After all, Abbie would definitely not think of me if there was a good thing, so I refused without thinking about it.
"Sorry, I still have work to do." With that, I lowered my head and continued my work.
Abbie could still hear their conversation. She said, "Brother Harrison, since Miss Hodges doesn't want to take us around, why don't we go and take a look ourselves?"
"The information is already on your table. What else can I read?" Harrison said lightly.
"How can it be considered as taking over this place without an inspection?" Abbie asked with a smile.
Hearing their conversation, I was speechless at Abbie's thick skin. I had never seen anyone more shameless than her in my life. No wonder she was able to become friends with Maisy. They were all like snakes and rats!
"He's talking to Harrison in front of me. It's obvious that he wants me to get angry and see how I'm going to react. I should be disdainful of such childish behavior."
How could I, who was nearly 30 years old, play tricks with these little girls? I still felt ashamed when they competed for a man. While thinking, I took a pen and made a heavy cut on the paper.
Perhaps because Harrison hadn't responded for a long time, Abbie continued, "Anyway, we don't have much to do right now. We won't lose anything even if we go take a look."
As she spoke, she took Harrison's arm.
I couldn't help but look up at them with a sneer. "Both of you have just arrived at the company. You don't have to put on a show in front of a small fry like me, do you?"
Oh no, I looked at Harrison meaningfully. "Mr. Stewart's job is to accompany female employees?"
"What are you talking about!" Abbie said angrily, "No matter what, we don't need you to talk nonsense. Just take care of your own business!"
"It's none of my business, but it depends on who it is," I said.
Abbie looked at me coldly and mocked, "Who do you think you are, Miss Hodges? Remember, there are many people who want to fly to the top of a branch and become a phoenix, but how many of them really want to go up?"
"Do you know what happened to the people who didn't go up?" I asked with a chuckle.
If you don't understand Abbie's words, then I've lived for decades in vain. If you want to make me suffer, you have to do it a few years ago. Right now, I don't want to suffer a single loss!
"Especially now that it has something to do with Harrison. He can control my life. Why should I tolerate his colorful life?"
"Those who didn't go up will naturally be smashed to pieces. There's no need to guess." Hearing my words, Abbie couldn't stop laughing, as if she had just made a big joke out of me.
Fortunately, the company has done a good job in managing the company. No one came to watch us, even if we were in such a mess. They just pricked up their ears to listen in private.
I looked at Abbie and looked back and forth between Harrison and her. Finally, I shook my head regretfully and said, "In this era, no one needs to be a phoenix. Those are things left behind by the ancestors. And now, most of the people who can't be a phoenix have a branch. Why do we need to fly up?"
As I spoke, I always had a faint smile on my face as I looked at Abbie, and the expression on my face changed again and again.
"As long as you're not a fool, you can understand what I mean. I'm mocking Abbie. When she didn't have the chance to fly to Harrison's branch, he had already been taken over by me. How could I not be happy?"
