“It has nothing to do with you.” Winnie spoke coldly, never once lifting her gaze to Michael’s face.

Michael parted his lips, but when he saw her attitude, he forced the words back down.

Only after the two of them had completely walked away did Winnie’s chest rise slightly. Her face remained expressionless.

Following the order list, Winnie selected several gifts and snacks from the store and arranged them neatly on serving plates.

She intended to have a server deliver them, but Veronica came out just then. “Winnie, why are you dragging your feet? Didn’t I say today’s VIP guests are for you to serve? Hurry up and go in.”

“I’m managing the store. Let someone else do it.” Winnie shot her a cold glance.

“Michael is someone you know. Who could possibly serve him better than you?” Veronica’s words stabbed straight into Winnie’s sore spot. “And besides, Michael brought a lot of friends today. They all want you to serve them. Or is it that you’re afraid you won’t be able to control yourself and embarrass yourself in front of the man you like?”

As she spoke, her tone grew increasingly mocking, the disdain undisguised.

Winnie reached the breaking point and suddenly raised her hand. Veronica, prepared for it, quickly dodged.

Winnie was far too violent. She didn’t act like a proper heiress at all!

“Veronica, don’t push me,” Winnie said fiercely, glaring at her. “Or I won’t make it easy for you either.”

Her posture gave Veronica pause for a moment. But then she glanced around the store-everyone here belonged to their family. There were no outsiders. Winnie wouldn’t gain the upper hand.

Veronica straightened, regaining her confidence. “Winnie, don’t forget your agreement with Dad. Here, I’m the one in charge. If you don’t want this job, you can leave anytime.

“But the evaluation period is almost here. If you’re this rebellious-if you can’t even stay in your own family’s store… Then you can forget about your mother’s trust fund.”

The words struck Winnie squarely at her weakest point.

She clenched her fists and bit down hard on her lip.

Their gazes locked, neither willing to back down.

Arrogance blazed in Veronica’s eyes. At last, Winnie let out a cold laugh. “Serve people, huh? Since you’re so eager to watch the show, then open your damn eyes and watch closely.”

She picked up the tray and turned, walking straight into the private room.

Veronica curled her lips and pivoted as well, following after her.

Inside the private room, the atmosphere was lively.

It was Lindsay’s birthday. She had always been a fan of the Olson Group’s toys-probably why Michael had chosen an Olson Group store to celebrate, to cater to her tastes.

Lindsay had invited only two close girlfriends from her social circle. The rest were Michael’s old friends.

There were his childhood friends, former classmates, and several colleagues he was close with.

Michael had grown up hovering around Winnie, only completely cutting ties with her in recent years.

So at least half the people present knew Winnie-and all of them were aware that Michael had once pursued her, only to be rejected by her, again and again.

Michael had a solid reputation in their circle. Even though he never mentioned the details of their past, everyone naturally assumed that Winnie was the heartless one.
