Chapter 574

“Elizabeth, are you threatening me?” Elizabeth shot up from her seat. Leaning in, hands on the table, her eyes locked on Blair. “Took you long enough to catch on.” She was done dealing with this headache of a person!

Blair’s face turned red with anger. She glared at Elizabeth, fists clenched at her sides, and finally forced out a cold laugh. “Fine.”

She had to check in with HR anyway to give them her bank details for her paycheck. As she walked out, Blair tossed a parting shot over her shoulder. “Looks like we’ll be working together. Hope you treat me well.”

Elizabeth felt a surge of anger. She really wanted to punch something but had to keep it together. Taking a deep breath, she clutched her chest. She quickly sat down and texted Sheldon.

Elizabeth: I don’t know what kind of relative Blair is to you, but she’s a real piece of work. First day at the institute and she’s already picking fights with me! She was the director, for crying out loud! The SH2N project couldn’t run without her!

Sheldon replied almost instantly: [I’ve been waiting for your message.]

Elizabeth frowned at his response.

Sheldon: [I figured you two would clash. Folks at the institute said she was strutting around like she owned the place.]

So Sheldon knew everything. Elizabeth sighed, staring at her phone.

Elizabeth: [You knew and still sent her to mess with me. That’s low.]

Sheldon quickly replied: [Got it. I’ll make it up to you with dinner tonight.]

Elizabeth: [No need. I just needed to vent.]

Sheldon: No, we have to. See you tonight.

Elizabeth couldn’t help but smile. Just as she put her phone down, another message popped up. It was from her assistant, Jessa Greer.

Jessa: Blair’s arguing with Brynn Elise from HR.

Elizabeth rolled her eyes. Blair really loved to argue, and she didn’t want to deal with it. But after thinking it over, Elizabeth knew she had to step in. If she let Blair run wild, the institute would be chaos.

Besides, Blair might be picking this fight to get back at Elizabeth.

Elizabeth headed to HR. Brynn was clutching her chest, fuming. “I’ve never met someone as unreasonable as you! You’re not fit for this…” This clause is clearly problematic, and I’m not allowed to say anything? What’s wrong with asking for a revision?

Elizabeth sighed deeply. Brynn appeared on the verge of tears. “Our contract is standard procedure; all new hires undergo this. We can assign an investigation team to look into it, alright?”
