Chapter 1789
"How about I have it sent over since we're in the vicinity? They seem like they are going to be quite busy today"
"Oh, okay-"
In the end, lan went along with it, Perhaps, he was also in agreement that there was not too much ground to cover.
Never did he know, however, that the moment she took the item downstairs and exited that building, she immediately made a call to someone she had long wanted to reach out to.
"Are you busy right now, Susan? I've something that I'd like to have your help with."
"Huh?"
Susan, who was busy revising for her examinations in school, let out a look of surprise when she received that call.
Help? What sort of help? Isn't this girl currently working with lan? What else could she have that would be in need of my assistance?
"The situation's like this, Susan.lan just passed me a set of data sheets that he said are the accounts for the project.As you know, I don't work on stuff like that and it's giving me a headache.That's when I thought of you.So could I like, get you to offer me some pointers?"
Through the phone, Yasmin seemed to have picked up on Susan's doubts, and as such, took the initiative to elaborate further.
As things stood, it did not seem proper for Susan to turn her down under these circumstances.
Hence, that girl returned to school to seek out Susan some twenty minutes later, clutching a stack of data sheets in her arms.
"That many?"
"Um-hum" replied Yasmin as she wiped the sweat off her own brow.
"To be honest, Susan.I wanted to make a good impression of myself at lan's company now so that I might have a chance to work there after I graduate."
She regarded her counterpart with a mixture of urging and self- consciousness.
More significantly there, was the display of resolve she had.
"I see.It's good thinking on your part.Actually, I'm planning to intern with them over the summer holidays myself.That's why I've been in discussion with the lecturer to secure my qualifications earlier in order to facilitate my own entry" Susan chuckled.
Without any semblance of guardedness, she also shared her personal plans in their entirety.
At the tender age of just twenty-one and having been raised by her own parents thinking that the world was a place filled with warmth and love, how could she have thought anyone capable of such deviousness? Her wariness from before had stemmed purely out of protectiveness over lan.
Yasmin lowered her eyes to conceal the enviousness and contempt that was madly entangling her like vines.
Some parts of her heart had ultimately begun to succumb to the darkness that was slowly but surely devouring it.
"Is that so? Splendid.Let us work hard toward our goal together then."
"Okay.Sit tight for a bit while I get this ready for you, and oh, don't tell lan.Just say that you did it yourself.I'll teach you some basics on finance and accounting matters later."
Susan made sure to offer a reminder before she got down to sorting out that set of data sheets.
While Yasmin waited by the side, her phone suddenly rang about five minutes later.
"Hello?"
