A Graduation Gift novel Chapter 132

"What's wrong with you, Cloris? Remember, this is the Tang Group's office and not the Qin family house. You cannot have your tantrums here, or else, I will be forced to ask security to escort you out," Cassandra said forcibly.

She could not stand Cloris's temperament. If they were at home, she would probably muster more patience to deal with her bratty and self-centered sister. At the workplace, though, she had to put her foot down. After all, she was the firm's Architectural Design Manager. In no way was she going to allow her sister to talk to her like that.

"Wow, Cassandra, You really are somebody, aren't you? It looks like you won't even listen to dad. How dare you threaten me with calling the security? Who do you think you are? Well you know what, I am ashamed to be your sister! I am ashamed to be associated with a double crosser like you! And because you had so much audacity to do it, I am not afraid to reveal it!"

Cloris shouted. She yelled like a crazy person and it angered Cassandra very much.

"Call the security! Get this lady out of here!"

Cassandra demanded. Right now she had no patience for Cloris, who seemed to have lost her sanity. She knew that work hours were not the right time to settle personal issues and decided that it was best to talk to her sister after work.

The security guards walked in and pulled Cloris's arms to drag her out. Cloris shrugged them off and glared at the guards.

"I can walk by myself! Do you think I want to be here? I don't even want to come to this place! You are a disgrace!" she shouted.

Then she walked away briskly. The two guards exchanged glances with each other before followed her out.

The assistant, knowing that Cassandra would need some time to settle down, left the room as well, and closed the door behind her. Cassandra rubbed her forehead as she sat on her chair.

She had been so occupied with work from both the Tang Group and the Qin Group that she barely got to talk to Cloris. Therefore, she could not think of any reason why her sister was so upset.

After hesitating for quite a while, she finally picked up her phone and sent Cloris a message, "Cloris, wait for me at the Sweet Coffee Shop. Let's talk then."

Cassandra stared at the screen for several minutes but received no new notification. Her mind then slowly drifted away.

Suddenly, the door swung open. It was Stella, running into the office.

"Cassandra, what happened to your sister? She was vandalizing your photo on the Employee of the Month board and couldn't stop cursing you. The security guards tried to stop her and they ended up fighting!" she said worriedly.

Cassandra stood up immediately and was about to run out, but was pulled back by Stella.

"She's gone! I asked more guards to drive her away! I know she is your sister and she must be doing this to get your attention. She would be happy to see you down there so that she can curse you in your face, so just stay here. By the way, what happened between you two?" Stella asked, concerned.

'Cloris was interning under Leo and handling administrative matters. I don't remember her having such a bad temper. Why did she become like this?' Stella wondered.

"I also have no clue. She just came over and threw a tantrum. I asked why but she didn't say anything. I texted her asking her to talk to me after work. Hopefully she will enlighten me," Cassandra replied helplessly.

This irritated her very much. Cloris seemed so angry at her but she did not know why.

"Do you want me to go with you later? I don't want you to be bullied by your crazy sister,"

Stella offered.

"Don't worry about me. She's my sister, after all. She won't harm me. I'll talk to her patiently and sort it out," Cassandra assured her friend.

Then she remembered the time when she just came home from Rome. Cassandra would spend the night with the Qin family and she actually slept with Cloris. She was the girl who used to have beautiful and sweet smiles. 'This is so not like her. What is going on with her?' Cassandra wondered.

Cassandra went straight to Sweet Coffee Shop after work and sat in the corner. She ordered herself a cup of coffee and waited, checking her phone from time to time. It was 6:10 pm and Cloris still didn't show up.

As she was about to call Cloris, Cassandra felt a thrill passing through the air.

When she raised her head, she saw Cloris walking towards her with a face devoid of any emotion.

Cassandra opened her mouth to say "hi", but before she could say anything, the hand hiding behind Cloris suddenly swung towards her. Cloris was holding a bottle of paint and she threw it at her sister.

Cassandra had never been in such an embarrassing situation. All the people in the coffee shop were looking at her.

Seeing Cassandra fall into a daze with her body full of paint, Cloris felt elated.

"I'm warning you, Cassandra. The fact that you're the daughter-in-law of Horace Tang, doesn't mean anything to me! If you dare cause Arthur any trouble again, next time you won't be so lucky to have just paint thrown at you," she said.

After casually throwing the bottle away, Cloris clasped her palms together in satisfaction and walked away, leaving the crowd stunned.

Cassandra seemed to have lost her hearing. Her vision seemed to be clouded as well. The liquid was vicious. It found its way from the head down to her hair, and then to the floor.

It dripped and dripped.

The paint that Cloris used was colored and it stung. She made sure that it would create a strong odor and discomfort to Cassandra.

Was this unsightly or unsettling? Was this disgraceful or insulting?
