Chapter 195

He spoke lightly, asking about the female colleague he'd just mentioned, “Who were you referring to when you said ‘those men’? Have you seen her seducing men?”

My female colleague was taken aback, pausing before responding, “Look, I saw it… There was a worker on the construction site, and from the very beginning, they were exchanging glances. They even made plans to have meals together, and wished they could share a bowl of rice…”

“You’re talking nonsense!” I snapped.

She must have been talking about Trevin. But when had I exchanged glances with Trevin? When had I even shared a meal with him?

When I was falsely accused of seducing the boss, they didn't believe me; it didn't matter, after all, I lacked a close relationship with them. But why did she go so far as to slander me? Both of them acted this way. What benefit did they gain from slandering me? Is it truly a case of “when the wall falls, everyone pushes”? Reynaldo despises me; they all want to step on me. Is it to impress Reynaldo?

“I wasn’t talking nonsense!” the female colleague retorted to Reynaldo. “Boss, what I said is true. I used to go to the cafeteria with her often. She was really close with that man, the one who… what was his name again…”

“Is your name Trevin?”

“Um, yes, boss. Have you also heard about her seducing men?”

She was indiscriminate, seducing all kinds of men—rich, poor, even bricklayers.

Reynaldo tugged at his lip, then straightened up, casually saying, “Perfect, my team just needs someone like her!”

I furrowed my brows. What did he mean by that? Not only was I confused, but all my colleagues in the information room shared a bewildered expression.

Finally, Bennett mustered the courage to ask, “Boss, what did you mean by that?”

“The meaning is… she was going to be mine in the future.”

The entire library room erupted.

“What’s wrong with the big boss? Does he really have a crush on that woman?”

“Who knows, the big boss said he needed someone like her; maybe he saw her ability to seduce men and wanted to use her charm to secure a partnership.”

“Oh, I didn’t know I could do this. If I had known, I would have also tried to seduce the boss.”

“Go away! Do you look as good as Esmeralda? Do you have as many seductive tricks as Esmeralda?”

Chapter 195

I ignored the office gossip and walked to Reynaldo, looking at him firmly. “What did you mean by what you just said?”

Reynaldo didn't look at me. He stood, straightened his cuffs, and casually said, “Literal meaning.”

“Reynaldo!” I roared.

Everyone present looked at me in horror.

“Oh my goodness, she actually called the boss by his real name?”

“The key is, she even shouted at the big boss!”

“Does the big boss really like this? If I had known, I would have been fierce too. Sigh, it’s my fault for being too gentle!”

I glared at Reynaldo angrily. This man was always like this, never speaking clearly.

At that moment, Supervisor Zhou's anxious shout came. Before I could react, Mr. Zhou pulled me away, scolding angrily, “What’s wrong with you? Why are you bothering the boss again? You always play truant. As soon as the boss appears, you pretend to be busy. What are you even working for? You might as well just get lost!”

“Shh, boss…” Bennett tugged at him, “You better stop talking now; this woman is a big shot in front of the boss!”

“What? What did you say?” The big boss looked at Reynaldo in disbelief. “Could it be that she really succeeded in seducing him?”

Reynaldo straightened his suit collar and casually said, “Tidy up; we’ll report to Headquarters early tomorrow morning.”

It was clearly directed at me. In an instant, the whole crowd was in an uproar.

“Wow, headquarters! She was actually able to work at headquarters under the big boss and spend time with him day and night!”

“Yeah, I’m so jealous. If only I had known that this trick works, I would have used it too. Ahhh…”
