Chapter 171 Anne noticed that Tommy was staring, so she leaned back in annoyance. Not at all ashamed that he was caught, he continued casually, “What‘s wrong with being my assistant?”
“I want something else. Another post where I can stay away from you.”
“You will take what I give you.” He kept one hand on the steering wheel and leaned one arm against the edge of the car window.
“Fine! Go tell Anthony that I have been hiding his children from him, and I‘ll go tell him that you were working in the dark to kill him.” Anne refused to step down on the matter. “I‘ve already compromised. Don‘t get too cocky.” He tapped his finger on the steering wheel rhythmically as he considered her words, “Alright! I will get you a position that isn‘t too hard and where you can stay away from people... How about an accounting officer? Is there a problem with that?” “... None.” Anne was content with the offer. It was a position that required minimal human contact and would not have too heavy of a workload. Though she had not worked in the position before, she was no fool. With Tommy‘s help, she was offered the job with ease, and her colleagues were generous enough to teach her the ropes. In the office, they would chat leisurely when they were free and snack on food from time to time, so Anne had not felt uncomfortable adjusting to the new environment.
That was until she overheard gossiping in the washroom at noon.
“Is she Mr. Marwood‘s girlfriend?” “Definitely not if she‘s ugly, but she could be since she‘s pretty.” “Sigh. A pretty face is a VIP pass anywhere! We only managed to get in because we graduated from Iva League college.”
“Yeah, we had to work so hard to get in. But for someone like her to get in like that, she would probably be tossed out as soon as they break up, right?”
“So we are still in a better position, then?” “We are actually qualified for the positions we were offered, after all!”
The few women exited the bathroom in laughter.
“Is there a conference this afternoon?” The last sentence was cut off by the door.
Anne did not pay much mind to what they said. After all, she was only there to work, not to make friends.
