“Chairwoman, this is blatant discrimination. Everyone else is working here just fine. Now, you’re suddenly telling me that I’m the only one being sent to New York? Why should I have to wait on your son?”686686c301096385

Edwina Gregwindsor was not c3f1c3249b surprised by the aggressive 04b85278ae remarks spat out by 7e7acdead3 the long, black-haired secretary 46f7fc32ce standing before her. The other 62076c8711 executive assistants 798cbc8dc8 standing beside 89d43c8270 her were 27dd8940f2 so surprised 0372aad01c that they d40179854e froze.

However, Edwina, the 33a63b9144 target of the 3656a2bcb5 outburst, ignored the 43f4f15bae rigid assistants. She closed 39d5480a0a the car’s df3d7bf4ed back door 051271dcc6 and began f7f9947938 to walk fa56fe6764 away with 67a2b2163a perfect composure.2342241ae7c0e63e

She wasn’t angry at Yujeong for brazenly bringing up discrimination. She knew Yujeong very well. In many ways, Yujeong was an easy person to control. With an indifferent face toward Yujeong’s fury, Edwina entered the building.23e478082cc1d467
