Chapter 25 Another Dose of Resentment
Since Jessica forcefully arranged for Brittany to stay
in that room, she took a leave of absence and
stayed there without taking a step outside. It was
her way of showing Jessica just how important she,
as a secretary, truly was.

a look. Daniel, however, failed to catch her cue.
“What are you waiting for? Knock on the door!”
“Why should I knock?”
“You’re my assistant, aren’t you? Or should I knock
for you?”
Daniel: …
Thump! Thump, thump!
Left with no choice, Daniel stepped forward and
knocked.

The door swung open, and upon seeing Daniel
standing there, Brittany was fuming.
“You piece of trash, what are you doing here? Here to humiliate me? Or perhaps to harass me? Let me tell you, even though this is a basement, and it’s
usually empty, if you dare to touch me, I’ll call the
police right away!”
Daniel: …
“Brittany, haven’t you learned your lesson yet?” Jessica’s voice instantly changed Brittany’s
demeanor.
“Jessica, I… I misunderstood. This useless guy
came alone, how could I know his intentions? But
since he’s with you, forget what I said – just a
misunderstanding!”
Jessica remained silent but gestured with her eyes
at Daniel, signaling for him to proceed as they had
agreed in the car.
“Brittany, it’s not suitable for a lady to live in a
basement like this. I forgive you. Move back to your previous room.”
“Yeah, as if I’d really believe you!”
“Brittany, he has forgiven you. Why the attitude? Do you want to keep living here?”
“…”
Shooting Daniel a glare, Brittany begrudgingly
bowed. “Thank you, Daniel.”
“Daniel, help Brittany with her things,” Jessica ordered.
“Yes, Jessica.”
After helping Brittany move, she was finally back in her original place – but this incident only added to her disdain for Daniel. He was playing games, and it irked her to no end. She underestimated him before.
He had pleaded on his own behalf in front of Jessica, simply to make himself appear
magnanimous and make her look petty.
How dare this nobody play such games with her? He could not continue to stay by Jessica’s side. For
now, she would have to tolerate him thanks to the good fortune that brought him Joshua’s help, aiding TMO in securing the project with Healthy Land and making him a person of significance beside Jessica.
Once Jessica’s fondness for him wanes, Brittany
would devise a plan to have him removed.
“Are you two okay now?”
“I’m not interested in squabbling with some girl.”
“I’m not interested in fighting a loser either!”
“You two are colleagues now. You must get along
and are forbidden from bickering.”
“Yes, Jessica!”
“Yes, Hon…”
Daniel stopped midway as Jessica glared at him.
“Huh, okay, Boss.”
“Don’t call me Boss; call me Jessica!” she quickly reminded him, knowing what he was about to say.
“Boss? Do you think this is a soap opera? This is a big city! Boss? Ma’am Jessica is a CEO! Do you even know what a CEO is? It’s the president!”
“Brittany, have you had enough?”
“… I was teaching him manners!”
