Chapter 77: Chapter 76

When Nicole walked out of the changing room, Kyle told her that she looked stunning. The black formal outfit highlighted her beauty and her strength, so she looked like a boss at that moment.

Sophia scanned Nicole from head to toe, and the former was satisfied as well. “This is really not bad, it fits you really well,” commented Sophia.

At Seet Group.

The meeting ended, and Evan hurried back to the director’s office. When he opened the door, he became somewhat stunned.

Why is this woman everywhere? And what is she doing in my office?

“What are you doing here?” asked Evan, who was so surprised that he stared like she was a monster.

Nicole didn’t reply. She simply shifted her gaze to the side, and Evan traced that gaze to Sophia, who was sitting on the sofa with a bright smile on her face.

“I brought her here.”

“Mom, I’m at work. Why did you bring her over?”

“I think we overpay her as Kyle’s nanny, so I’m increasing her workload and making her work at the office.”

Working here in Seet Group?

Evan grinned in distaste when he turned to Nicole. This woman is that eager to get close to me, huh? It’s not enough to bother me at my home? Does she have to come to my office as well? Dang, she is even crazier than Sofie, and her shamelessness is downright revolting.

“The company doesn’t need useless people like her,” said Evan immediately.

Sophia expected that reaction. She fished out the company’s HR advertisement and placed it on the table before replying, “I’ve looked into the matter, and the company is looking for a translator. It just so happens that she can do translation.”

A translator?

Evan frowned. When has the company ever needed a translator? Why don’t I know about it?

Evan picked up the phone and called John over to ask about that matter.

John stared at Evan’s darkened expression, then at Sophia, who had been glaring over as well. He didn’t dare to offend either.

He couldn’t afford do make a single mistake now.

John deliberated for a long while before replying carefully, “Mr. Seet, an employee from the translation department quit about two hours ago. He said that he was feeling unwell and have difficulty coping with the job, so he left.”

Two hours ago?

Evan guessed that his mother must’ve done something behind the scenes.

Wow, she works fast.

Evan wondered how Nicole could manipulate someone as powerful as Sophia to help her. What the hell has this woman drugged my mother with?

Evan’s eyes shone with cruelty when he glared at Nicole. “What. Do. You. Want?” demanded Evan slowly in a harsh tone.

“She doesn’t want anything. I’m the one forcing her to work here.”

“Mom, I can’t let her into the office. She’s not as simple-minded as you think. Don’t be fooled by her!”

“You can’t turn her away from the office. You’ve already accepted her gift,” said Sophia. Her words got Evan stupefied.

He scoffed, “When have I ever gotten anything from her?”

“She prepared lunch today, and not only did you eat the dishes, but you also asked for a second helping. As such, you must let her work here. It’s only right.”

Sophia went all out to get what she wanted, and she looked firm when she glared at Evan.

Evan recalled the lunch and his handsome face shone with fury. He was tempted to vomit everything out and spat it onto Nicole’s face.

He wouldn’t have taken a single bite if he had known that Nicole prepared them.

Nicole had her head down and never said a word. Sophia was too eager, and it backfired because it sounded like Nicole had an ulterior motive for cooking that meal. The truth, however, was that Nicole was just cooking innocently.

Nicole knew that Evan wouldn’t believe in a word she said, so she didn’t bother explaining.

“Nicole Lane, you are disgusting.”

Nicole’s fury flashed up after being accused by him. She glared back into Evan’s dark eyes and said, “Mr. Seet, it’s fine if you don’t want me to join your company, but please mind your language. You have no right to insult me like that.”

Evan scoffed, “Women like you have no place in my company. Be smart and leave on your own if you don’t want to be humiliated.”

“Oh, women like me, huh? Then, pray tell, what kind of woman is qualified for the job?”

“Every Seet Group’s employee must pass the test and will only be accepted after they’ve proven themselves. You can’t get in via connection!”
