Chapter 56
The directors couldn’t hold back any longer. No one wanted to lose their jobs.
“Ms. Lynch, we can add your staff immediately. We will share the resources with Glory Corporation!”
“I’ll send the project proposal to the person in charge now! the directors shouted.
Gilda nodded and said firmly. “Finish everything in one hour. If you fail, just resign.”
The directors responded quickly. Although they were still in the meeting, they called their subordinates to arrange for them to finish the matter as soon as possible. Everyone looked at Emma with reproachful eyes, which made Emma awkward.
“Ms. Lawson, it appears that you take pleasure in listening to others‘ stories,” Gilda said, lowering her eyes. and sneering. She continued, “Do you believe you can make things difficult for me simply because you think I obtained this position with my face?”
“How could it be? It’s a misunderstanding. Please forgive me, Ms. Lynch.” Emma was humble and flattering
now.
Suddenly, Gilda stood up from her chair, turned to look at Jensen who had remained silent all the time in the meeting, and said, “Mr. Harrington, the show is over. Goodbye.”
Without waiting for Jensen to say anything, Gilda pushed open the door and left, her stilettos clicking on the floor. Eric helped Gilda carry the handbag and followed behind.
As soon as Gilda reached the elevator, she heard steady and heavy footsteps behind her. She turned around and saw Jensen following her out.
The elevator door opened at this moment. Gilda and Jensen entered the elevator together.
Then Jensen said in an indifferent voice, “When did you become so overbearing?”
I’ve always been,” said Gilda.
“Did Patrick teach you these?” Jensen’s voice became colder, containing a hint of jealousy that he didn’t
even notice.
Gilda didn’t even bother to look at Jensen and said, “It’s none of your business.”
Jensen got more and more irritable. He stepped closer to Gilda and asked, “Can’t we have a nice talk?”
“No.” Gilda raised her eyebrow and said in a cold voice, “Mr. Harrington, you’ve always talked to me like that before. How could you be angry with my tone now?”
Hearing this, Jensen froze and thought about the past. He tried to recall the scenes where he patiently talked with Gilda, but he failed.

Jensen was at a loss for words.
“It’s true that we’re partners now, but I don’t think we should have unnecessary private contact like taking the same elevator again,” Gilda said.
As the elevator arrived on the first floor, Gilda walked out arrogantly and left Jensen standing in the elevator and doubting himself.
In the evening, Gilda, Megan, and Yadira met at Halo Club.
After dancing for a while, they got tired. Yadira handed her phone to Gilda with a serious look and asked, “Any clues?”
Gilda was confused, so she took over the phone and checked it. Then she smiled.
Megan leaned over to look at the screen. Seeing what was shown, she immediately swore, “They’re slandering Gilda again! Who is this reporter? Yadira, kill him!”
The title of the article was eye–catching and straightforward: Female Executive Ms. Lynch Having an Affair With Her Subordinate.
There were several pictures in the article, all of which were photos of Gilda going to the hotel with Cheney the night he was beaten.
A lot of comments were being posted under the article.
[No way! The ex–wife of Jensen has such bad taste!]
[I don’t believe it. It’d be more convincing to rumor that she has an affair with her boss.]
