Annie was shocked by Joyce. She was anxious at heart, being able to enter the promotion team of the new project was an important opportunity for her. She argued, "Who are you to tell me to leave? I'm the gold promoter personally assigned by the group headquarters! The automotive project team is weak in promotion, and I'm here to help."
"Heh. With such a character, you better avoid talking about help." Joyce did not have the patience to dwell on it and directly kicked her out, "Now, get out immediately, right now! Get out of our office! If you don't like it, appeal to the group headquarters."
"You!" Annie's face twisted in anger and she stomped her foot violently.
But there was nothing she could do, but to leave in a mess.
Although Joyce was not nominally the head of the project team, but in fact they all understood. No matter what kind of emotional entanglement Joyce and Luther had, they just could not afford to cross Joyce, if not just because of her status as a board member.
Seeing Annie being driven away, Juanita was a bit overwhelmed, "Joyce, no need to stand up for me. I'm sorry to make it difficult for you."
"Difficult?" Joyce laughed casually, "Obviously she's the one making things difficult for others. We are an efficient project team, we don't need to waste time on these boring internal conflicts."
"But, you've been upset enough lately. Driving Annie away, the whole group is going to talk about it again. I'm afraid you'll be even more upset." Juanita was a little self-conscious and depressed.
Joyce pulled out some napkins and gently wiped the side of Juanita's forehead, "Look at you, you still have coffee on your face. You should go to the lounge to shower and change."
"Hmm." Juanita's eyes were slightly red, and her heart was quite moved. No one knew that she was actually the Capital's mayor's daughter, who had grown up seeing the deceitfulness of her father’s circle. She was surrounded by people who deliberately approached her, and everyone wore a false mask and she did not have a single friend.
She could not stand the oppressive environment, pretentious human relations, and did not want to accept the marriage arranged by her family and marry to the second generation of those officials. She could not just be a good daughter and a good wife and finally a good mother all her life. She was tired of it and she sneaked out, to earn her own living.
