With her smooth hair cascading in waves and beautiful eyes, she was a beauty with a figure that turned heads and stirred envy.
Men couldn’t help but stare while women secretly envied her.
Despite the murmurs about herck of higher education, no one could truthfully say she was unattractive.
Audrey was indeed seething with jealousy.
She had been grinding away at thepany for three long years and was still stuck as a junior staff member.
Despite the semi-annual pay raise mechanism at Shaw Group, she aspired to rise higher, to be promoted to team leader or even a department head.
But climbing thedder with sheer skill alone seemed impossible.Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.
Seeing someone Like Dulcie-who seemed to rely solely on her looks and connections-easily securing a job and possibly breezing through a smooth three-month internship backed by powerful support, Audrey felt a burning sense of injustice.
After this incident, Audrey harbored a deep grudge against Dulcie.
If Dulcie could rely on Kurt, Audrey resolved to win over Kyson and outshine every woman in thepany.

Unexpectedly, she ran into Kurt, who had also just finished his meal, in front of the sink.
Kurt smiled and greeted her politely.
Thinking of the recent rumors swirling around thepany, Dulcie decided to avoid any potential problems.
She lowered her head and didn’t respond.
Kurt looked puzzled.
Making sure no one noticed them, he leaned in and asked quietly, “Mrs-Dulcie, did I do something wrong?”
“No, it’s not your fault,” Dulcie immediately denied.
Sighing, she said, “Mr.
Newman, I just hope you can pay less attention to me.
I’m just an intern, and I’d like to be treated the same as my colleagues.
”
Kurt was taken aback.
Though he didn’t know why Kyson and Dulcie hadn’t publicized their marriage, he felt obliged to help her as a neer.
Moreover, Kyson had instructed him to keep a close eye on her.
“I heard there was some trouble in your department this morning.
Was it serious? Do you need me to investigate and report to Mr.
Shaw?”
Dulcie was exasperated, realizing he didn’t grasp her meaning.
“No, it was just a small prank between colleagues.
Nothing serious.
”
“Alright, but if you encounter any problems, please let me know,”
Kurt insisted.
Dulcie nodded, ced her cleaned tray away, and left the cafeteria.
During their conversation, someone quietly took photos outside the door.
Soon, a group from the logistics department was whispering and gossiping.
