Chapter 10 But in the end , Edmund didn't kiss Nyasia's lips . He just lowered his head and pecked on her forehead . Kaneeta knew . Though he was a bit drunk , he still remembered his identity clearly and would never kiss Nyasia in front of so many people . www Besides , the peck was enough to tell them about their relationship . 199 What had he said back then ? Oh , right . " Neeta , we should always separate work from personal matters . " What a ridiculous joke ! Just then , Kaneeta's assistant texted her again , " It seems Ms. Kuntz really is Mr. Kuntz's girlfriend . No wonder he gave her the project we've been working on for so long . This is so unfair ! I had no idea he'd play favorites like this ." Kaneeta replied to her , " Hey , don't say that again . Especially not to others ." Edmund and Nyasia were not to mess with . Her assistant would suffer if she offended them . Chapter 10 " Chill . I won't . But Ms. Drayton … Everyone knows how much you've poured into the project . Are you really just gonna let her take it away ? " Kaneeta calmly replied , " It's fine . " Nyasia wanted her project ? Sure . Take it . As long as she could bear the consequences … *** In the morning , Nyasia left the office to meet with clients about the project . Before stepping out , she glanced at Kaneeta provocatively , curving her rosy lips . Those who had worked on the project with Kaneeta stole glances at her , but none of them dared to speak up . After all , everyone knew how close Nyasia and Edmund were . Besides , Edmund had announced her as the project lead . Though they all felt it was so unfair to Kaneeta , no one dared to voice any objections . Kaneeta clearly noticed the strange looks on their faces , but she continued to deal with work , seeming calm . Chapter 10 They all figured she was just pretending and felt even more sorry for her . To their surprise , when Nyasia came back after a few hours , she was seething with rage . She glared at Kaneeta before storming straight into Edmund's office . S The rest were baffled . After Nyasia closed the office door , they immediately asked the two colleagues who'd attended the meeting with her , wanting to know what had happened . Yet , the two said nothing , their expressions unreadable . In the office , Nyasia was complaining to Edmund , sitting on his lap . " Ed , the clients deliberately gave me a hard time ! " Her eyes reddened . " They picked on me because I'm new here … " Edmund furrowed his brows tightly . " That makes no sense . Was there some misunderstanding ? " " What misunderstanding ? " Nyasia fumed . No matter what she said , they all shook their heads dismissively . They kept asking her where Kaneeta was and even said things like " If Ms. Drayton were here … Chapter 10 It was no different from saying Kaneeta was better than her . The project was about to wrap up . Why did they have to be so nitpicky ? " Ed , this is my first project after joining the company . The others will definitely mock me if I screw up ! " She wrapped her arms around his neck , tears streaming down her cheeks . " Hey , don't cry . " He fumbled to wipe away her tears . After much hesitation , he said , " Maybe you should ask Neeta to join you the next time . After all , she's been handling the project all this time . No one knows the details better than her . " He had thought Nyasia could deal with the project . After all , it was already in its final stages . But … as it turned out , Kaneeta had to step in . From Kaneeta's earlier reactions , she seemed reluctant to help Nyasia . But it was fine . She would surely change her mind , as long as he coaxed her nicely . " Nya , you may leave . And have Neeta … Have Ms. Drayton come in ." Chapter 10 He wiped Nyasia's tears away and continued to coax her a bit , promising he'd buy her the latest designer bag . Only then did she walk out reluctantly . She looked around but didn't see Kaneeta . After asking around , she learned that Kaneeta was in the pantry . After pushing the door to the pantry , she indeed saw Kaneeta , who was brewing coffee . The rich aroma of the coffee filled the air , but she was still seething with rage and jealousy . She coldly glared at Kaneeta's back , having the urge to tear Kaneeta into pieces . Though Kaneeta didn't turn around , she seemed to know it was Nyasia behind her . She said flatly , " What's up ? " " Ed wants you in his office ." Nyasia's voice was icy . But Kaneeta had no intention of leaving right away . She brewed the coffee , poured it into the cup , added a sugar cube , and stirred it slowly . Seeing this , Nyasia was further enraged . " Didn't you hear what I said ? " " Nyasia , " Kaneeta looked up , her gaze razor - sharp , " You need my help . Is this how you talk to me ? " Chapter 10 " You .. " مارا Suddenly , Nyasia's eyes widened as she snapped , " It was you , right ? You were behind this ! You asked the clients to pick on me ! " " You think too much ." Kaneeta curved her lips in contempt . She didn't do anything . But she had anticipated this . Pet We Though the project was wrapping up , and there wasn't much work left to do , certain efforts were still needed . Besides , she knew Nyasia didn't really have any skills . After all , they'd crossed paths back in college . Also , Edmund had dropped some offhand remarks about Nyasia before . Most importantly , if Nyasia had been capable , why would Edmund give her a project that was about to be completed ? It was such a key project , and he surely knew how risky it was , changing the person in charge so abruptly . But in a way , it also showed how much he cared about Nyasia . It was definitely you ! " Nyasia , of course , wouldn't admit her incapability . Instead , she was so certain that Kaneeta must have done something shady . " You bitch ! " Chapter 10 She truly wished that the car crash years ago had killed Kaneeta . Yet Kaneeta stood in place calmly , not arguing with her or heading to Edmund's office . After glaring at her for a while , Nyasia suddenly let out a sneer . " Don't be so smug just yet , Kaneeta . It's just a project . Don't tell me you think you've won . Get real - I'm the one who gets the last laugh . " She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear , looking complacent . " Surely , you can tell how much Ed cares about me , right ? " Kaneeta's gaze darkened . Of course , Edmund cared about Nyasia . He even helped her cover up her orchestrated car wreck . The car wreck cost Kaneeta's leg and her dream of dancing . She no longer wanted to be with Edmund , but this ? She'd never get over this . A Nyasia apparently didn't know what Kaneeta was thinking . Figuring Kaneeta was upset about losing Edmund , she grew even more complacent . Kaneeta was about to walk past her with the coffee . Just then , she quickly said , "Kaneeta , I'll show you just how much Chapter 10 Ed cares about me . " She grabbed Kaneeta's wrist , splashed the coffee onto her own face , and ran out , screaming .
