Victoria wasn’t about to let McNeil off the hook, so now she was coming after Violet—chasing her all the way here.
Violet smirked. If Victoria dared cause a scene here, she’d have security escort her out and have her sent straight to a psych ward.
Ailie nodded politely to her colleagues in greeting as they passed, but the way she looked at Violet was tinged with undisguised disdain. It surprised everyone.
Several people shot Ailie warning looks, silently telling her to stop getting herself tangled up with Victoria.
Nobody in the company thought much of Victoria. Over the years, plenty of women had tried to claw their way to the top through Mr. Garcia, and every single one of them had ended up with nothing but regrets.
Violet and the other executives had already stepped into the elevator. Ailie ignored the coworkers who waved her over to join them, and instead led Victoria in the opposite direction.
“Who’s that Victoria, anyway?”
Violet was sure she hadn’t misheard.
Victoria? Did that mean Victoria worked here too?
“She’s Mr. Garcia’s new assistant,” someone explained. “Ms. Marchand, you’ve seen plenty of these types. And you know how Mr. Garcia can’t resist a pretty face. To be fair, Victoria is quite the looker.”
The executives in the elevator all understood what was being implied and burst out laughing.
Violet got the implication too. So Victoria had actually gone out and found a job. How amusing.
Clearly, Victoria couldn’t compare to her and was now desperate to make herself visible to McNeil—trying to shed the image of the neglected housewife, copying Violet by pretending to be independent and self-sufficient, all in an attempt to win McNeil back.
Violet rolled her eyes at the thought. Pathetic. A cheap imitation, nothing more.
Quantum Core Technologies had been handpicked for her by McNeil himself. Yet, before she’d even set foot in the building, Victoria was already here.
If Victoria wanted a competition, Violet would be more than happy to teach her a lesson.
