Quentin had started to change since Vivian came to work in the company.
Amanda had no idea that Vivian was Joey’s sister at the time, because they rarely spoke to each other in the office. Apart from the surname, they couldn't be less similar to each other in every respect, including appearance and personality. Thus Amanda hadn’t suspected a thing about their relationship.
“What?”
Joey was shocked again. Suddenly it crossed her mind that she had seen Vivian making out with a man in the stairwell during lunch break the other day. Was it Quentin?
She had no evidence sufficient to tell anyone else.
Amanda said, “It’s just my suspicion. It’s not necessarily Vivian who he’s cheating with. Anyway, please keep an eye on him. I wouldn’t forgive him if it’s true. I’ll divorce him if he’s cheating on me. I have my pride.”
Amanda looked at Amanda in a daze. She was reminded of herself several months ago when she had to pretend to be strong on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
“All right, Amanda, I’ll keep an eye on them.”
Amanda promised her in an apologetic tone, because she was very sorry that the home wrecker was actually her own sister.
After leaving Amanda’s office, Joey went back to her desk to collect her things.
The transfer notice was soon posted on the bulletin of the company.
The HR officer Lily approached Joey with a big smile on her face, “Joey, congratulations! It’s a position that most of us would kill for. You’ve managed to get the job in a month. You’re really something!”
Annoyed by these sarcastic remarks, Joey looked up at Lily’s smiling face and said, “I’m under the impression that you’re the happiest one in the company to hear the news of my new position. Do you think Amanda will promote you to the administrative director after I’m gone?”
Lily put on a frigid smile when Joey was reading her mind. She raised her eyebrows and said indifferently, “Yes, I do. But what would do you do about it? You’re leaving and you’d better stop being so overbearing with me. You’re not my boss.”
