Amy was particularly angry to hear Lily and her friends slander Rose. She said to Lily, "Lily, it is just
sour grapes. Do you think you are better than others?"
"Sour grapes? What a joke." Lily snorted coldly, "If she has a husband, why does she not bring him
here and let us see him? She declines with all sorts of excuses. Even if her husband sends her dishes
and flowers, so what? Does she dare to bring her husband here? I'm afraid her husband will be too
ashamed to see us, right?"
"Yes. At least, Lily and the young master of Vortex Corporation are aboveboard and are not afraid of
anyone speaking ill of them." Niamh Flores, Lily's friend, spoke for her, "Last time, the young master
invited us to Clond Club. You won't forget how generous the young master was to Lily, will you?"
"Amy, do you think you are a good guy? Rose drove a Ferrari and gave you some dishes from Scent
Pearl Restaurant. Then, you're like a dog and flatter her. I hope that it will not be all in vain, or you'll be
miserable."
Niamh really had a silver tongue.
Amy was angry and anxious after being scolded by Niamh. She also felt especially aggrieved, "You ...
you guys are the dogs which bite people everywhere."
"You're a pug which follows a mistress." They answered with sarcastic rebuttal, making Amy almost cry
with anger, "You guys ... I'm going to tell Mr. Matthew you guys are going too far."
"Suit yourself. It is now lunch break. Mr. Matthew will not care so much." Not to be outdone, Ximena
Sutton, another member of them, fought back, "Besides, Lily and the young master of Vortex
Corporation are very intimate."
They seemed to be arrogant and do as they pleased to Lily's relationship with the young master of
Vortex Corporation.
Rose had not intended to bring trouble on herself. But what they said and did were going too far.
They did not like her and bullied her. But just because Amy was close to her, they humiliated Amy like
this. It was too abominable.
If she always endured it all the time, she would be treated as a punchbag.
"Leave room for manoeuvre, okay? We are colleagues. Why are you guys so aggressive? Lily, do you
forget that you have been deducted six months of bonuses by Mr. Matthew?" Rose reminded them with
a good attitude.
"Rose, how dare you mention this? If it were not for you, would I have been deducted six months of
bonuses? I know that Mr. Matthew was partial to you. I do not believe that there is nothing between you
and Mr. Matthew." Thinking of her bonus, Lily felt distressed.
Rose was about to say something when she noticed a familiar figure approaching. Looking at the
person coming, she was shocked and then surprised.
"Lily?" the handsome man stood in front of Lily and glanced at her work card.
"I ... I am." Lily looked at the handsome man in front of her. Although the man looked gentle and soft,
Lily felt a little scared and panicked, "Who are you?"
"I am the leader of YM Group's head office. Please repeat what you just said." The man's voice was
cold, "If it's true as you said that there is an improper relationship between subordinates and boss, I will
apply for the headquarters to fire her."
"Really?" Lily was astonished.
"Lily." Niamh, however, pulled Lily, telling her to calm down, "How can we believe that you are the
person from the headquarters? Who are you?"
The man pulled out his work card, which read William Quinn from the headquarters of YM Group, and
his position was design director.
"I am William Quinn."
Lily, Niamh and Ximena, and the others in the cafeteria were all surprised.
The man was the legendary design director! He looked handsome and gentle. His voice was charming
and soft. He was also an excellent talent who graduated from the best design institute and returned
from abroad. He amazed everyone here.
William always kept a low profile in life and work. Although he had taken over many big cases and dealt
with them it perfectly, he never gave interviews and never cared about the branch office. So, few
people had seen him as a real person.
He actually came to the branch office in City H, which was a rare opportunity for Lily.
"Mr. William?" Lily smiled flirtatiously.
"You can talk to me anything you want to say." William smiled gently.
"I ..." Lily was about to say something. But she stopped and looked at Rose, "Mr. William and Rose
know each other, right?"
Rose used to work in the design department of the headquarters. She naturally had worked with
William, the design director.
"We used to work together in the headquarters. So, we of course know each other." William was
sensible and clever while mentioning their relationship.
"Mr. William, this is my first meeting with you. Would you believe what I said?" Lily wasn't that stupid.
"I only believe in evidence." William was reasonable, "Give me the evidence and I will deal with her
according to the evidence."
"We have seen with our own eyes that when Rose just transferred to City H, she has taken Mr.
Matthew's car a few times to go to and get off work. Soon, she drove a Ferrari sports car. She can't
afford to buy such a car worth of million at her wage level. If she did not have background, how could
she get the position of design director after coming here?" Ximena was excited and said.
"Everyone can talk. What I want is evidence." William reminded them again.
"I didn't think too much at that time. So, I didn't take pictures." Ximena now felt very regret.
"You have no evidence. That means you're speculating and doubting your boss!" William became cold
and angry.
Ximena was frightened by such William. She lowered her head and did not dare to look at him, "I ... I
do not think so."
"Did you not say that?" William's eyes flicked from face to face, "Everyone can testify that I don't wrong
you, right?"
Ximena bit her lip and looked at Lily with some fear, asking Lily for help.
"What does Miss Lily think should be done about this kind of behavior?" William, however, asked
before Lily could speak anything.
Lily was in a dilemma, thinking that Ximena was really stupid.
"Mr. William, she's just a bit straightforward and bears you no malice. Why don't we just forget it?" Lily
spoke up for Ximena because Ximena had helped her a lot.
"Forget it? Then the company's bylaws and rules are just for show!" William coldly snorted, "She can
suspect Rose and Mr. Matthew have an affair today. Then she will suspect that I have an affair with
Rose tomorrow, right?"
"No, no. Mr. William, I don't dare." Ximena shook her head.
