Fiona ran to Celine's office and slammed the door shut, startling Celine.
"Are you crazy? Or was there some kind of demon chasing you? Are you trying to give me a heart attack?" Celine yelled and threw the pencil she was holding. She raised her head and glared at Fiona. "My word is final in this office. And you are completely unruly!"
Fiona leaned against the door and looked at Celine before walking over to her cabin.
"Fiona, you..."
"I am quitting this job."
Fiona spoke abruptly before Celine could finish her words. She grabbed her things and gave Celine an icy stare. "Since you don't want me here, you'll be glad that I'm leaving. What's more, I won't let you go if you continue to use my work."
Celine was shocked as she stood up from her seat. "Are you really going to quit?"
"Yes." Fiona nodded. "Goodbye." She left the office without looking back. She had joined ZR Company with big dreams. She had felt like working here was her first step to success and hoped that she would learn a great deal during her internship. However, she had never expected to have a superior who hated her and a CEO who just wanted to sleep with her.
She couldn't stay there for another second. Fiona thought to herself with regret, 'I'm sorry I wasted your efforts, Ryan.'
As Celine watched Fiona walk away, she wondered what could've disturbed her so much.
Something must have happened. She frowned as a thought suddenly struck her. She rushed out of her office and went to Charles.
In his office, Charles and the woman had already changed clothes. When Celine stepped in, she felt awkward and strange.
The woman was sitting on the leather couch, toying with her nails. She rolled her eyes as soon as she saw Celine walk in.
"Excuse me, Mr. Wen! That intern, Fiona, is resigning."
Charles nodded from his seat. "She can learn nothing from you. Just let her go."
"You..." Celine grew angry but she couldn't react, given that Charles was her boss. She calmed herself down. "Why did she want to resign?"
Charles frowned but kept silent. The other woman, however, couldn't control herself and yelled, "Shame on her! She is an ungrateful bitch! It was a blessing that Charles wanted to sleep with her, but she refused him and ran out of here..."
"Enough!" Charles shouted as he glared at the woman. "Get out of my office!"
The woman grunted, picked up her bag and walked out of the office.
"Have you really fallen in love with Fiona?" Celine asked once the woman's footsteps faded away. Although she'd known about his feelings from the start, she had never imagined that he would actually ask Fiona to sleep with him. 'Is he the same playboy that he once was?'
