Ding, the elevator stopped. As Monica Usher stepped out, Lydia Ingram was beside her and asked, "Are you working overtime today?" "Lately, I have to," she said as she walked. "I’ll also design some drafts myself. If their work is good, of course, we’ll use theirs. If mine gets selected, then we’ll use mine. The main thing is to get the job done well." Her competitiveness was strong, something Lydia Ingram greatly admired. Because Monica Usher was working overtime, Lydia Ingram, who never usually did, stayed behind as well. He felt that working with Monica Usher made him feel ten years younger and in a better mood. "President, aren’t you leaving?" Assistant Joe looked at the man sitting motionless in the office chair, utterly puzzled. Normally, he would have left by now. Lydia Ingram looked up and gave him a mysterious smile, "I’m working overtime." "Working overtime?" Joe was startled, "Is there something urgent to deal with?" "No," he replied, then chuckled a few times. Joe dared not ask any more questions. A few hours later, night, deepening... Joe stayed with him all the time, not busy with work. What was this overtime for? Just sitting there idly for hours, Joe was clueless. "Has President Usher finished work yet?" Lydia Ingram suddenly looked up, "Go check, and if not, invite her for a late night snack." "Oh," Joe turned around blankly. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novel-fire.net "Wait a minute!" Lydia Ingram added, "Not just her, invite all the executives working overtime today." He couldn’t let people suspect anything, Monica Usher was a shrewd woman. Joe was bewildered, "Alright." But he followed the instructions. Just like that, Lydia Ingram calculated step by step on how to bring Monica Usher into his fold. To avoid drawing her attention, in order to invite her to a meal, he actually invited a whole table of people, a typical show of extravagance, but with ulterior motives. Barbara Sutton, who had been sleepless all night, arrived at the company. She had a dream last night, dreaming she was used by Monica Usher, and... her ending was tragic. This dream left her in a daze long after waking. The 200,000 owed to President Lane hadn’t been repaid, and Barbara Sutton planned to first repay Monica Usher. But she was still short of 50,000... This was giving her a headache. Stepping out of the company elevator, she just happened to run into Finn Morgan. Their eyes met, an awkward tension hung in the air~! The girl’s heart skipped a beat. Previously, Barbara Sutton would always greet him, but today she was frozen, unable to open her lips, her response several beats too slow. "Good morning," Finn Morgan softly broke the silence, dispelling the awkwardness as if his confession yesterday never happened. "Good morning," Barbara Sutton snapped back to reality and greeted him. Finn Morgan’s expression was calm, a slight smile playing at the corners of his mouth as he walked past her and stepped into the elevator. Only then did Barbara Sutton breathe a sigh of relief, even if the confession failed, it wasn’t unbearably awkward. Returning to the office, Hailey Hale was not there. Suddenly, Barbara Sutton’s phone rang, and seeing the caller ID was Monica Usher, her chest tightened, too scared to answer! Because she recalled what Monica had said yesterday... Barbara Sutton had no desire to act against her conscience, and Sister Monica was diverging from her usual path. She brought the Kingston Group’s True Love series to R-Alan. Barbara Sutton couldn’t condone such actions. But after all, she still owed her money, and not answering the call wouldn’t be right either. So after a moment of hesitation, Barbara Sutton suppressed her inner struggle and swiped to answer the call —
