In My Desperate Time novel Chapter 83

“Corporate spy?” I stare at him, feeling difficult to digest the news.

I don’t think I can take this huge responsibility.

“I am sure, but I don't know who it is yet. Our company's new product to be launched next month was brought to market early by the rival company. The design and materials are the same as ours, so there must be an inside spy. And, it must be in the design department. Because the design department has the first-hand knowledge of the design.”

Steven Song's expression is very serious, which makes me understand the seriousness of this matter.

But I don’t think I can take this huge responsibility.

“I have never met this before. Will I be murdered if the spy finds out that I am investigating on it?”

The thought of scenes from the old TV series makes my scalp tingled.

“You think too much. All you have to do is try your best to pay more attention, I'll do the dangerous things.” He taps me on the shoulder as a sign to relax.

But I am so nervous.

“Why me? I know nothing, and I am not familiar with other co-workers.”

“Because in this company, you are the only one I trust.”

His sincere eyes make me feel that he really believes in me.

He's the second friend I can confide in, besides Mindy Sue. He has helped me a lot since I met him.

I value friends, not because he is my boss, I should help him as a friend.

“All right. I will help You. But I can’t guarantee that I will find out who it is.”

On my way out of Steven Song's office, I bump into his new assistant.

When I go downstairs, I fell something strange, but I could not tell what it is. People in the same elevator also look at me strangely.

When I go into the office, May Wilson sees me and purses her lips disgustedly.

“Someone cheats and forgets to wipe her mouth, for fear that no one knows what she did.”

May Wilson is Nicole Snow's assistant. They sing the same tune. It’s not surprising that she doesn’t like me. But I can’t bear her humiliation.

“Pay attention to your words. Who cheated? Be careful, or I will sue you for libel!” I say to her in a cold voice.

She snorts, pointing at my breasts.

“You are the one who did something shameful. How dare you yelling to sue me? Your shirt is unbuttoned. It’s obvious that you want to show off your relationship with Steven Song.”

Shirt?

I look down and see that the second button of my shirt is open. I quickly button it up.

I think it was Steven Song's assistant who knocked my button open. No wonder people look at me strangely in the elevator.

That’s so embarrassing!

I felt tight when I wore this shirt before. These days, thanks to Frances Louis’s “hard work”, my breasts become D cup, no wonder the shirt can’t cover up.

I smooth down my shirt and walk in front of May Wilson, deliberately shaking my breasts in front of her.

Then my button pops off again.
