"Hey, check it out! Who's the stunning woman that came in with Mr. Pansy? She's absolutely gorgeous and carries herself with such grace!"
"Oh my, look at those legs! So slender and perfect! I've never seen anyone so beautiful!"
"Could that be Mr. Pansy's fiancée?"
"No way, that can't be true!"
The employees couldn't help but wonder about the identity of the woman who entered with Patrick. The most common assumption was that she must be a business associate. However, when she left Patrick's side to sign in at the personnel department, it suddenly dawned on everyone who she was.
Word of Jane's presence at the company spread like wildfire.
It turned out that the woman who had accompanied Patrick was none other than Jane.
People were left bewildered.
Wasn't Jane supposed to be an ugly country bumpkin? How had she transformed into a striking beauty? As Jane went through the necessary formalities, the employees in the secretarial department engaged in animated conversations about her.
"Jane is incredibly beautiful! She even outshines Florence Doyle!" one of the employees marveled.
Monica Betsy, the department head, wore a scowl and a look of disdain in her eyes.
With malice, she remarked, "Beauty is only skin deep. No matter how beautiful she is, she's still a poor country girl who knows nothing about city life. She's not fit to be Mr. Pansy's wife."
As Jane walked into the secretarial department, she overheard these disparaging comments.
A sardonic glint flashed in her eyes as she retorted loudly, "If I'm not fit to be his wife, who is? You?"
Monica's expression froze, and she averted her gaze, refraining from responding to Jane. She couldn't afford to antagonize her.
"Ahem! Mr. Pansy instructed me to treat you like any other member of this department. You'll be assigned your share of work, irrespective of your status. Here's the document for today's advertisement shoot; it's your responsibility."
With a derisive smile, Jane accepted the document and left.
The others huddled around Monica once again.
"Monica, isn't this Carl's shoot? Jane is new; don't you think she might mess it up?"
A mischievous twinkle gleamed in Monica's eyes.
The face of the advertisement was Carl Waters, a young and famously bad-tempered celebrity. He was notorious for being difficult to work with.
People typically went out of their way to avoid him. Monica was eager to see Jane's inexperience cause chaos on her first day.
As soon as Jane exited the room, she examined the document outlining the advertisement's schedule. She couldn't help but notice Carl's name, which struck her as oddly familiar.
In the CEO's office, Patrick's assistant inquired, "Monica Betsy just handed over the Carl Waters shoot to Miss North. Should I assign someone else?"
