Linda was enraged by what Yvonne said in a causal tone. She sneered, "Is it true? I saw her take breakfast for Mr. Lu and enter his office this morning. When she came out, she said Mr. Lu asked her to accompany him at tonight's banquet. I'm not good at kissing Mr. Lu's ass. After all, I am his secretary and not his caretaker. Mrs. Lu is the one who should take care of him. I won't exceed my duties."
"You must be kidding…" All the women in the office desired Mr. Lu. After he got married, a sensible lady would have to give up her unrealistic dreams. But an unconscionable one who has been obsessed with Mr. Lu would be angry to hear that someone else was pleasing him. "How could Leila do that!"
"What did you say?" Yvonne sat not far away from them. When she heard their conversation, she put down the fashion magazine and asked, "Is that true?"
"Of course." Linda nodded as she replied, "I saw her enter Mr. Lu's office. She bought breakfast for him. Also, last night Mr. Lu worked overtime and she stayed late and bought supper for him. Autumn, I heard you are Mrs. Lu's sister. When you go back home, you'd better tell Mrs. Lu to watch her husband."
The first day Yvonne started work, everyone knew she was Mrs. Lu's sister. However, no one talked to Yvonne actively because of their jealousy of Mrs. Lu.
Leila had heard of Yvonne's background and she intentionally tried to get close to Yvonne. As a saying goes, "Knowing the enemy and yourself, you can fight a hundred battles and win them all."
She wanted to know more about "Mrs. Lu."
Leila intended to use Yvonne. So did Yvonne, the other way around.
She entered Shining Company in order to get close to Charles. But she failed to be his secretary. Now she had no choice but know more about Charles through Leila.
She never thought Leila had feelings for Charles.
Yvonne felt betrayed. She walked out of the office without speaking a word, and took out her cellphone to call Wendy, "Mother, have you persuaded Autumn to help me move into the Lu family house?"
Yvonne put forward this proposal so as to get close to Charles. She knew that because they held Autumn's grandmother, Autumn dared not to refuse. She had waited for several days but she hadn't heard any good news from Wendy.
Hearing of what Linda said, Yvonne felt worried and more eager to speed up her action to get to Charles.
"Mother, I am asking you, what's going on?" Wendy didn't reply for quite a long time. Yvonne pressed, "What did that damned Autumn say?"
Wendy signed and replied, "Yvonne, don't worry. I need more time to persuade her."
"More time?" "Mother, Charles has Autumn. I can bear it. After all, she is his wife. But don't forget that famous star Rachel. Now there is a cheeky secretary also seducing him. What about me? I have to wait like a lump. I am telling you I won't wait. I have decided to take the initiative and make my move." 'There are so many women casting greedy eyes on Charles. If I do nothing but wait, how long will it take for me to catch Charles's attention?
Wendy knew she couldn't hide it for long, so she told the truth, "Yvonne, I wanted to help you, but Autumn, that little bitch…"
Thinking of that skanky Autumn, she said through gritted teeth, "I called Autumn, but she refused to have you move into the Lu family house. I threatened her with her grandmother's life again but it didn't work. Don't worry, I will think other ways."
