Chapter 1216 Arrogance
After uttering those words, Holley went straight to the bathroom to reapply her makeup. There was no
one inside when she entered.
"Damn it!" she exclaimed. Staying in the empty bathroom, Holley was able to release her suppressed
emotions. Her hatred against Rachel amplified not because she lost her temper without specific
reasons, but in fact, she had neither competence nor constructive ideas.
She continued to curse while she paced back and forth. When she finally stopped walking, she hit the
mirror heavily as she continued to express her annoyance. Unfortunately, unlike the usual mirrors, this
one was strong and solid. The impact of each blow didn't even cause a scratch to its surface, but her
hand was incredibly hurt.
"I am fucking done with it! When will it end?" Holley screamed at her reflection in the mirror. She turned
on the water tap, and washed her face while cursing.
She could still feel a part of her in heat with rage. She let the water flow and watched it run down the
drain. After a long while, she finally calmed down. Holley brought out her makeup, reapplied it slowly,
and left quietly once she was done. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Soon after she left, one of the doors in bathroom opened slowly. Lena Li, the receptionist, stepped out.
She turned to see that all the other cubicle doors were all slightly open. She heaved a sigh of relief
since Holley was not aware of her presence. Otherwise, she must have been dismissed.
She had waited for a while to ensure nobody was around, and then shook her head and walked out of
the bathroom. She came to Tarsan Corporation because of its reputation abroad. Never did she
imagine what the management had done here. It was totally unbelievable!
'Is it the normal for the president to be dealing with such business? She seems to be a whining woman.
Is there any prospect following such a leader?'
Yet she had second thoughts. In fact, she had neither outstanding academic qualifications nor merits.
The reason why she was employed was because her beauty caught Duncan's eye and he selected her
out of many average candidates.
Never mind. She didn't care how the leaders were like or if they were planning to take some revenge.
All she wanted was a job and a wage to support her living. It would be a waste of time to bother about
other things that had little to do with herself.
When Holley and Rachel arrived at Silver Corporation, the receptionist, Lena was there. She saw them
as soon as they entered the main entrance but she pretended to be busy. She took another glimpse at
them when they were almost close and asked, "Ms. Bai, why are you here again? Mr. Zhan will not be
available for you today since he has two meetings to attend later."
Holley was wronged yesterday by this receptionist, and now she was here acting so arrogant. To add to
that stress, Holley still suffered from the rage accumulated from Rachel. As a result, she had nowhere
to vent her feelings.
Even though they were experiencing a tough situation, it didn't mean that she had the right to humiliate
her whenever she can!
Holley remained silent as she moved towards the receptionist. She slapped Lena hard across the face.
"You are a part of Silver Corporation and it's not my duty to punish you for your arrogance, but I could
barely tolerate such a person like you!" she exclaimed.
"You... You!" Lena was taken by surprise. Never did she imagine that she would be hit at her workplace
by someone intending to visit her boss.
"Do you have any problem?" Holley rolled her eyes and pretended to raise her hand for another blow.
Without influential connection, Lena was daunted by Holley's dominant manner, murmuring, "Why did
you hit me?"
"If I hear one more word from your, believe it or not, I can do it again! How dare you act superior over
me! You are no more than a receptionist. When I entered the society, you must be drooling in your
classroom!" Holley glared at her, her eyes piercing to her soul. Lena lowered her head silently. It would
be no use responding.
"Let's go. It's no use to argue with such person!" Watching this event, Rachel felt she needed to
intervene. Since Holley already vented her rage on someone, now they could proceed to handle real
business. This argument was a waste of time.
Lena did not attempt to raise her head as Holley and Rachel walked past reception and just headed
towards the office.
They were still waiting for Lance, but this time was different from before. Last time, they were just
sitting with nothing to do. Right now, they decided to make an elaborate plan.
'We need to take initiative, or it is merely time-consuming!'
Holley and Rachel had discussed a plan to ensure success this time. They have agreed that one of
them should wander outside the conference room, while the other would make a phone call to Lance.
The plan was that while the phone rang, the person outside would take her chance to follow its sound
and locate the phone owner. This way, it would be more convenient for them to track him down. Holley
started to call Lance's phone.
It worked as expected. At the moment the phone started ringing, Rachel made her way walking from
one door to another and listened if that was where the sound was coming from. By the time she
reached the third door, Rachel found where Lance was hidden. She made a sign to Holley to tell her
that he was inside, then sneaked in Lance's office.
Rachel walked in. When Lance's assistant finally noticed her, it was too late. She had already
welcomed herself in.
These days had also been tough for Lance. In order to avoid Rachel and maintain their relationship, he
had to agree with Rachel to come to Silver Corporation, while he hid in his office, full of grievance.
He also wished to go out, but if a common acquaintance saw him and Rachel found out, he would be
blocked by Rachel. Therefore, in a bid to shun such great embarrassment, he decided to stay at the
office and saved his face.
Considering that he was a big name in Y City, his own reputation might be ruined if the leading
businessmen in Y City knew about his affair with Rachel. More importantly, chances were that he could
get in trouble when his wife found out!
"Lance, I knew you were here. Can we just sit down and have a small talk?" Looking at Rachel
breaking in, Lance was taken by surprise. His cellphone was in a silent mode for the sake of ignoring
her calls, hence, he also missed too many significant calls, leading to serious economic losses. He just
switched his phone back to the normal mode in order to answer those phone calls.
Unfortunately, luck was on Rachel's side and she found him as soon as his phone started ringing again.
Mistake. It was a huge mistake. He saw this coming, but not today.
"Since you are already here, please sit down," he said calmly. He had no choice but to appear
extremely busy, paying full attention to the screen in front of him.
