Ophelia blushed when they made fun of her private things. She could not stay calm in the face of these
questions.
"Elisa, stop talking nonsense. It’s work hours, so don’t gossip now. If Mr. Conduibh sees you are
chatting, you’ll be punished." Ophelia said.
Elisa pointed at her neck and smiled cheekily, "Ophelia, there’s such an obvious love bite on your neck,
you can't deny it."
Ophelia immediately took out a mirror from her bag to take a look, and indeed there was a medium-
sized red spot on the right side of her neck. She did not wear a high collar shirt, so everyone might
notice the bite. No wonder she was looked up and down from the moment she entered the elevator. It
was all because of this little strawberry.
Damn Zachariah. He bit her neck when they were kissing and she was in a state of confusion.
With such an obvious love bite, she would definitely be laughed at by her colleagues in the office. They
meant no harm, but she could not be so cheeky.
She took her bag into the bathroom and took out her foundation to powder her neck. She sighed in
relief when the love bite was covered by the foundation.
When she came back to the design department, Elisa came over and gossiped, "Ophelia, you’ve been
pregnant for several months and your husband is still so passionate. He must be a strong man. Well,
take him out. I'll see why you, such a beauty could fall in love with him. You know, you are attractive for
the men in the whole design department."
Ophelia glanced at her and said, "Elisa, according to the rules of our company, people who gossip
during work hours shall be deducted two hundred dollars. If you continue to make fun of me, I’ll tell Mr.
Conduibh."
Elisa spat out her tongue mischievously and said, "Ophelia, bad girl. You are bullying me because you
are Mr. Conduibh’s friend. Since you are a pretty girl, I'll forgive you this time."
Ophelia shook her head.
Elisa came forward and said mysteriously, "Ophelia, during the half month you were hospitalized,
another pretty girl joined our company. She’s also a beauty like you. In such a short time, she was
promoted to Design Director and now becomes our boss."
Ophelia glanced and said, "Elisa, if you keep gossiping like this, you’ll be deducted two hundred
dollars. It’s not my fault by then."
Elisa said in disbelief with her eyes wide open, "Ophelia, after all, I've said, aren't you curious about the
pretty girl? With two beauties in our company, all the male colleagues become excited. Even though
you're married, you are so attractive to these guys."
Ophelia felt embarrassed and said, "Elisa, I know that you post-90s generation all have bountiful and
unrestrained ideas, but now, please go back and focus on your word. We'll talk during the break at
noon, OK?"
Elisa smiled and returned to his seat. Her seat was next to Ophelia’s, so while staring up her computer,
she still whispered, "Ophelia, I can tell you that although the new director is a beauty, she’s difficult to
get along with. Both of you are gorgeous and attractive, maybe you’ll be opponents. "
"Stop gossiping, OK?" Ophelia said.
Elisa was born in 1993 and just joined the company this year. She was still childish like a college
student with unrestrained energy and imagination. She was lively and cheerful and easy to get along
with. Although she looked like a student, she was quite capable at work.
"Ophelia, she's coming. You have to be more careful, and don't annoy her." After saying so, she
hurriedly sat back as if flood or beast were approaching.
Ophelia looked over and saw a man and a woman entering the design department. The man was
Tassach Conduibh while the girl was Gracie King who she had met that day.
She did not expect that within half a month, a woman who had nothing to do with her would become
her boss all of a sudden.
Gracie saw Ophelia and a surprise flashed in her eyes. She then turned around to ask Tassach, "Mr.
Conduibh, is she the employee who left for half a month?"
Tassach nodded.
Gracie said, "Mr. Conduibh, I remember that we have a rule that employees who have been employed
for less than three months cannot take leave for more than half a month. I’ve checked. She has joined
us for just a few days and then took leave for half a month. Mr. Conduibh, you should make a decision
accordingly?"
"I’m the one who approved her leave. Well, do you have any questions, Director King?" Tassach said
tonelessly.
A smart woman would never argue with a man over such a trivial matter. Unfortunately, Gracie was
only shrewd at work, and with a natural sense of superiority, she could not endure another woman to
draw all the attention of the man she liked, so today she must get rid of Ophelia no matter what
happened.
"Mr. Conduibh, I'm Design Director now, so I have the right to deal with employees absent from work
for no reason. Don’t you think so?" Gracie raised her head and said in a tit-for-tat manner.
Mr. Conduibh just gave her an indifferent look and said to Ophelia, "Ophelia, come to my office."
Then he turned around and left the office, while Gracie gave Ophelia a meaningful glance and also
left.
