Chapter 375
“President Walker told her that there is no position available near him, not even an errand girl. I’m not sure if she was being cheeky or if she didn’t understand his words, but she told him she didn’t. she doesn’t even need a salary, as all she wanted was to learn from him, as if he were a tutor in some kind of training center! By the way, why would she need to do that if she has an MBA from a university abroad? President Walker manages an entire conglomerate, so why would she assume that she would be able to apply what she learned from him? She’s not even fit for the job!*
“So what?” I asked while stifling a laugh.
“He had Nelly show her the finance department”
“Finance department? Why?”
–
“Since she would not accept the position of marketing manager, she should work as a messenger in the finance department. President Walker informed her that he was working as a clerk when he just took over the company. At this point, Jenny couldn’t help but giggle. “I dare say she wouldn’t be able to spend even an hour in the finance department.
“If that happens, she will pester her president again until he agrees to keep her by her side.”
“If she does more than that, President Walker wouldn’t be so lenient with her. However, I would very much like to see her pester im
more.”

“But why?”
“Because I want to see President Walker make things difficult for her, since he’s good at it.”
What Jenny said reminded me of my recent experience, which put me in a bad mood as I wondered about his motives for doing this, as I wasn’t being unreasonable like Callie, nor was I getting him into trouble. I couldn’t understand why he didn’t like me.
My displeasure did not escape Jenny’s attention due to her attentiveness. “What is wrong. Lily?”
“It’s nothing, I just remembered some unpleasant things. By the way, Jenny, did your president tell you when he’s coming back? I need to meet him.”
“He never left and he’s still with the company,” Jenny replied. “Miss Hamilton, the designer at Figuro Design and Co. had an appointment with him, so they are meeting in the reception room.”
“You mean, is he talking to her from now on?” Anger seeped into my voice as soon as I learned he was seeing her.
“Yes. This isn’t the first time she’s asked him out on a date. She is also brazen and has a reputation for being annoying. President Walker wasn’t planning on meeting her, but somehow he agreed to do so today.” Jenny checked her watch before saying, “Lily, I’m going to say goodbye as he’ll be back any minute.
After Jenny left, I sulked alone in the room, my anger only growing as I thought about my situation. Eric was using Jolene as leverage against me, which I allowed as he swallowed my pride because I didn’t want Jolene to get the upper hand. Although it took a heavy toll on both parties, this method proved ineffective when Eric decided to play both sides.
Although he promised not to meet Jolene nor allow her to be his contractor, it turns out that he never planned to keep his promise. It was anything but a ploy to have fun using me. If it weren’t for Jenny, I might as well have been kept in the dark about this while he continued to play with me.
I was so furious that I felt the need to break something to contain my rage. However, I held back because I knew I was in another company’s territory. While I want to wash myself to clear my head. I opened the door to head towards the elevator, only to see Eric’s private elevator open with a tap. As I approached, I saw Eric’s slender figure in front of Jolene, who was in a mesmerizing outfit.
