Suzanne had been fined for receiving flowers and for being late. Yet these people could gossip during work hours without any consequences?
Lilian's expression darkened instantly, and she glared at Suzanne. "Suzanne, don't try to drag us all down just because you got fined. Are we not even allowed to talk at work?"
What kind of ridiculous dream was she having?
Seline remained silent, standing aside as she looked at Suzanne with a troubled expression. But deep inside, she was thrilled.
This was exactly what she wanted—an argument.
If this continued, Suzanne would be ostracized by everyone in the company, making her life difficult.
Suzanne looked at the people in front of her and said sharply, "The Elite Contest is coming up soon. Where are your designs? Are they ready? If you're here gossiping instead of working, shouldn't you be fined?"
Hearing that, Lilian bit her lip, her expression turning somewhat unnatural. But she still looked at Suzanne arrogantly and retorted, "What does it have to do with you? The storeroom doesn't have the emerald that I need. Do you think I can just magically create something?"
Suzanne smirked coldly. This was exactly what she wanted to hear.
Seline had locked up the emeralds, and Suzanne wasn't the only one affected by this.
Her sharp gaze landed on Seline as she said, "You're the manager of the design department. The storeroom ran out of emeralds, and you didn't even submit a request to the procurement department?"
Seline's face fell. Why was she suddenly the one under fire now?
Without waiting for a response, Suzanne continued, "Do you have any idea how important the Elite Contest is to Yates Corporation? What kind of manager are you?"
Instantly, the entire design department fell into a tense silence. Everyone felt a heavy pressure from Suzanne's presence. She was just an intern. Why did she carry such an intense and intimidating air?
