Fiona was bubbling with frustration but felt completely stuck.
"Why don't you come to my office for a break?" Jackson suggested.
Fiona shook her head; she had a mission today, and it wasn't just about seeing Jackson.
"No need for that, let's hit the conference room first."
At first, the crowd had their doubts about Fiona, but her calm response had them rethinking. Despite being left hanging for ages, she hadn't shown even a flicker of anger—now that was impressive.
As the elevator doors slid open, there was Pearl, casually leaning with a cup of coffee, clutching a document as if she meant business. Her smile wavered when she saw Jackson, and instantly turned frosty when she noticed Fiona next to him, especially with them holding hands!
Ugh, this shameless woman!
Pearl thought she should have had security toss Fiona out earlier, rather than just asking her to scram. If only she'd known, she'd have given Fiona a harsh reality check. Just a college kid, thinking she could compete with her?
She'd read enough gossip to believe college students these days were nothing but trouble, easily led astray. But Fiona seemed different—dressed like a student, yet radiating a charm that was hard to ignore!
"What are you doing here?" Pearl sneered at Fiona, snapping, "Didn't I tell you to get lost?"
