Episode 303
Irene was holding Tommy, and pretended not to see Robin as she went to sit with Mrs. Watson at a quiet spot near the window.
Robin, however, remembered how she failed to humiliate Irene last time, and ended up being punished. with having to wipe the floor of the sports complex over two days.
It made her the laughing stock of her department, and even her colleagues constantly reminded her of it.
She very much wanted to resign, but she had also lost her dependency since lan was not seeing her. As such, she had to keep her job and bear with the contempt.
On the other hand, Irene had lost everything, but it somehow still felt like she was mocking Robin. Before Irene knew it, Robin was already standing beside her table, growling, “Don’t get so smug, Irene Spencer. You were only lucky once-it won’t happen again.”
Irene was playing with Tommy, and slowly looked up when she heard Robin.
Even so, she was exceedingly calm in contrast to Robin’s clear irritation. “I don’t know if things will get bad for me, but I do know that you’re having a terrible time-you wouldn’t be sulking otherwise.”
“What…” Robin’s face darkened right then. “What are you getting so smug about? Your lover was basically kicked out of Light Group. Not that glamorous now are you, Mrs. Jefferson?”
“Even if he was, he didn’t dump me. I don’t have to go hungry, bodyguards escort me everywhere I go, and I still have chauffeurs and servants. Even if Isaac is not CEO of Light Group, he’s still able to see to my needs and afford me a life of luxury. On the other hand, it’s obvious that life is hard for you, seeing how much weight you’ve lost.”
Irene never liked to brag or be nasty, but she knew that her words would have a devastating effect on Robin.
She had been listening to Stan and Isaac’s conversations, and was made aware that lan was busy working on Light Group. As a recently appointed CEO, he needed results to gain everyone’s loyalty.
Add that to the terrible look on Robin’s face, Irene could naturally tell that she was at odds with lan, and so retorted against Robin in a way that Irene knew would sting her.
And that was exactly what happened. Unable to retort or do anything to Irene at all, Robin snarled, “Don’t get so full of yourself!”
