“Yeah, it was just a call.”
Mona blanched.
It was true. Cordelia had not said anything. She had just been telling Mona’s situation as it was when she called Trinity.
She was the one who had been too eager and impatient to get on Trinity’s new production and make an impression in front of the director! That was how Cordelia managed to trick her!
Mona shook in rage. She gnashed her teeth. “You tricked me!”
Cordelia looked stern and cold. “You defy the company rules and kick up a fuss over here. You really think you’re a princess with some fans on your side?”
“Cordelia, you—”
“The fans can put you on the pedestal. Similarly, they can drag you down to h*ll!” Cordelia’s words were impactful as they hit Mona like a rock.
Mona froze, intimidated by Cordelia’s authority.
“There’s me too.” Cordelia crossed her arms and smiled. “I can let you throw a fit here at this door, and I can ruin you for good! Try me if you don’t believe it!”
Mona took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling.
The assistants went up to remind her softly, “Mona, Ms. Cordelia is Madam Baker’s senior assistant. She’s also the supervisor of the whole Imperial Media. You can’t offend her!”
“What? I have to be scared of her now?”
“Yes! What else?” A voice suddenly rang behind the bookshelf.
Mona was shocked as she watched the shelf part to both sides. Helen walked out of the room with a smile. She brandished a phone and looked at Cordelia.
“Ms. Cordelia, I’m going to switch my career to a professional videographer soon!”
Cordelia beamed and held Helen’s arm, looking mischievous like a little girl.
Mona’s assistants were instantly alarmed. If the video of Mona throwing a fit in the office got out, the goody two-shoe image that they had painstakingly created for her would be destroyed!
“Ms. Cordelia, let’s talk about this…”
