Chapter 1971 Who Is That LadyWith a gentle smile, Kaylee excused herself, “I accidentally sprained my ankle when I ran away the
other day, and it hasn't healed yet.” Therefore, that was the excuse she chose to not to get out of the
car.
Elisa wore a smile that didn't reach her eyes. She knew all too well whether Kaylee had sprained her
ankle that day or not.
Speaking of this matter now, it was simply a reminder to Eliza that Kaylee was indeed her lifesaver.
A mocking curve tugged at the corner of Elisa's mouth.
She absolutely despised being blackmailed using favors.
So, when they got out of the car, Elisa was the first to head towards the company. Kaylee was left
standing alone and became the subject to the scrutiny and speculation of many onlookers.
This made her feel as if she was standing in the center of a storm.
Even though they might not have any ill intentions or say anything offensive, no phony woman could
handle such situation.
While speaking, they would occasionally steal glances. To someone like Kaylee, who already had an
inferiority complex and came from the mountains, it felt more like mockery and contempt.
With a swift move as if she had grease under her feet, Kaylee quickly caught up with Elisa, albeit in asomewhat disheveled manner.
Little did she know, the people behind her bore no ill will. They were merely pondering about her
relationship with Elisa.
“Is this the new employee? Who is the lady who came with Ms. Benett? How come I've never heard
about her before?”
“They must be quite close, right? Ms. Wickam has never come to work with Ms. Benett before.”
Ever since Elisa returned from the small fishing village, she had come to understand Bella's loyalty and
capabilities.
Before long, Bella was promoted to deputy CEO, in charge of HR and Finance besides her department.
All three were the elite departments of the company. To say that Bella was Elisa's favorite in the
company was no exaggeration.
Clearly, the newcomer brought by Elisa had caught everyone's attention, and they couldn't help but
start making comparisons.
“That's different. Ms. Wickam has already taken the seat as deputy CEO. Can others even compare to
her?”
“Well, didn't you notice that when Ms. Benett left, she didn't even wait for her? I'd say they're not on the
best of terms.” ...
There were various views and everyone had their own perspective.
At that moment, a cold, ruthless voice echoed, causing a few people to shudder in fear.
“Why are you all analyzing this instead of working? Shall I report this to Ms. Benett?”
A chill ran through them, their bodies stiffening like they were frozen.
A few of them slowly regained their senses and upon seeing Bella who had no expression, they let out
a startled cry and quickly rushed into the elevator.
Bella couldn't help but chuckle as she watched the group flee in disarray.
At the same time, curiosity about this Kaylee also arose in her heart.
Who exactly is this lady who came with Elisa?
Can she really measure up to me?
To be honest, Bella felt a bit upset.
In the meantime, everyone was discussing about someone who got lost in the building.
As Kaylee was chasing after Elisa, she had already taken the CEO's private elevator to the top floor. And there she stood, foolishly rooted to the spot, unsure of what to do next.
Before long, those who were just outside gossiping had all walked back in.
Fortunately, they didn't say anything more, but glancing at her occasionally.
Kaylee felt even more embarrassed.
Luckily, Elisa had no intention of leaving Kaylee behind just like that.
After all, if I've promised Gareth something, I will follow through. Otherwise, I wouldn't have agreed in
the first place.
So, before long, a receptionist respectfully escorted Kaylee to the office she was supposed to go to.
She was directly interviewed and entered the HR department.novelbin
