Jacquelin had some devious thoughts and took out her phone, aiming it at the two of them.
Unexpectedly, someone suddenly slapped her shoulder!
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Jacquelin felt like she had lost half her soul and nearly screamed in shock. She quivered while turning around and was greeted by Kasey's smile, which resembled more of a smirk!
"You..."
"What are you photographing?" Kasey asked with a grin, her gaze fixed on Jacquelin's phone. In the frame was Lena, engaged in conversation with a well-dressed man who appeared to be Zuko Hamerton, the current overseer of the Thompson Group.
Kasey squinted, observing Zuko's authoritative demeanor and Lena's calm expression. They seemed to be discussing work-related matters.
'What kind of malicious intent does Jacquelin have again?' Kasey wondered.
Despicable people saw everything as tainted.
Recalling Lena's previous assistance, Kasey couldn't allow this spiteful woman to tarnish Lena's reputation.
Kasey mocked, "What's wrong? Are you eyeing someone's husband again? Oh, it's Mr. Zuko Hamerton?"
"No, no, I—" Jacquelin was anxious to explain, but Kasey interrupted her.
"Ah, Ms. Dillon, it's one thing if you're trying to hook up with a mediocre man like my husband. But how dare you covet someone like Mr. Hamerton, who's born with a silver spoon on a pedestal? Remember, his wife is your boss!"
"M-Mrs… Mrs. Chriss!" Jacquelin's face turned red. "Keep your voice down!"
Kasey stifled a laugh.
She could see that Jacquelin hated and feared her. She also felt concerned about being too noisy and catching Zuko and Lena's attention.
Suddenly, Kasey remembered the caramel frappe she had made earlier that morning at home. It had been a few days since her argument with Elijah, and she had retreated to her parents' house to cool off. Despite the disagreement, she was willing to be the first to reconcile.
That was why she had made these and brought them here. She had been debating whether to go directly to Elijah's office when she noticed Jacquelin's suspicious actions.
Her almond-shaped eyes seemed to conceal icy blades as she looked at Jacquelin. She lowered her voice and said, "Ms. Dillon, don't misunderstand. Elijah talked to me last time, and I also reflected on myself. Causing a scene in the company was indeed my mistake. Even if I don't care about you, I should at least leave him some dignity, right?"
