Chapter 170
“The big boss?!” Several colleagues and Trevin exclaimed simultaneously, all looking toward Reynaldo. Especially Trevin; his mouth hung open in astonishment. Reynaldo ignored them, his cold gaze fixed on me. Seeing the situation, Manager Zhou grabbed my arm and angrily shouted, “How did you manage to anger the boss again? I specifically apologized to him today, but you…”
Mr. Zhou, the supervisor, was too angry to speak. Bennett angrily exclaimed, “It seems the lesson I gave you last time wasn’t enough. How shameless can you be, woman? Skipping work just to seduce men!”
Why don’t you look at yourself before criticizing others? Who do you think you are, repeatedly trying to seduce the big boss?
“I didn’t!” I growled in frustration. Little did they know their accusations stemmed from their misinterpretation of my interaction with Reynaldo.
Manager Zhou shouted, “Don’t deny it! If you hadn’t seduced the boss, would he be so angry?!”
Chapter 120
“I simply did not!” I said, looking at Trevin and my colleagues, hoping they would testify. However, none dared to speak up. Trevin even glanced at Reynaldo and said, “Esmeralda, last time everyone said you shamelessly seduced the boss. I still can’t believe it.”
Now it seems they weren't wrong. No wonder the boss always looked at me with a fierce, cold gaze. Sigh, I had warned you; ordinary people shouldn't daydream…
“Enough!” I coldly interrupted him. In an instant, I saw indifference and mockery in Reynaldo’s eyes.
“Esmeralda!” the supervisor shouted, “Look at your attitude! You shamelessly tried to seduce the CEO, and you can’t tolerate others talking about it, right?”
“Yeah, they’re shameless and embarrassing our department!”
I couldn’t help but laugh, watching their angry faces. Just because Reynaldo was of high status, they indiscriminately accused me of seducing him. What would they say if it were three years ago?

Well, this world is truly ironic. Supervisor Zhou approached Reynaldo with a flattering tone. “Boss, please calm down. I will definitely teach that ignorant employee a lesson.”
“Oh?” Reynaldo raised an eyebrow, looking straight at me, but addressing the supervisor. “How do you plan to punish her?”
Manager Zhou and Bennett exchanged a glance, momentarily speechless. Bennett sighed, “Mainly, she was a temporary documenter. When she joined, she signed an agreement preventing dismissal at will.”
“Yes, yes!” Manager Zhou quickly responded. “Otherwise, I would have fired her long ago. Boss, please don’t blame our department.”
“Yeah, boss!” Bennett and Supervisor Zhou echoed. “Our data room is diligent and dedicated. Please don’t negate our efforts because of one mistake.”
“Boss…”
“Enough!” Reynaldo interrupted Supervisor Zhou’s continued pleas with a hint of impatience. Mr. Zhou instantly fell silent. Bennett dared not speak, only staring at me with disdain.
Reynaldo produced a cigarette, about to light it. Instantly, everyone offered lighters. The scene was both funny and ironic. However, apart from Reynaldo, Zhou was the highest-ranking supervisor. With a glance from Manager Zhou, everyone else stepped back. Supervisor Zhou quickly lit Reynaldo’s cigarette, a sycophantic smile on his face.
Reynaldo took a puff, blowing smoke rings. “You haven’t told me yet, how do you plan to punish her?”
“…His…” Supervisor Zhou was momentarily speechless, probably unsure how to punish me.
Bennett exclaimed, “Boss, how do you want to punish her? You tell me!”
Reynaldo chuckled softly, his eyes gleaming with amusement, mockery, and hatred through the smoke. I tightly held the hand beside me and stared at him intently. This man’s punishment was never simple.

Everyone waited for him to speak, watching the show. Trevin, who claimed to be my boyfriend, didn’t dare to utter a word. After a while, Reynaldo’s gaze leaped past me and looked outside.
He said to me, “Did you see those discarded bricks outside?”
