“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?”61ff4b3a41c31a51

Edwina Gregwindsor was 5be9dd1185 not surprised by 8987a68d98 the aggressive remarks 73c2010ac0 spat out by 35eef5da27 the long, black-haired 8049c6a7bc secretary standing before 6f40b6d7bd her. The other executive af5fe41237 assistants standing beside 94a25f5ced her were so b5e5f06a40 surprised that they 0083b8617f froze.

However, Edwina, 89d3435045 the target e18567ef86 of the a30f9b3dcc outburst, ignored 622242c1b4 the rigid 61648944b9 assistants. She closed the car’s 542e782a95 back door and began bc38a9da4c to walk away with 94ce3bf7a5 perfect composure.4e367535c6cd724b

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.60550ef19dd37a9f

Looking at them, who 7fb86cb699 hadn’t shown her any 7ca2b1d50d loyalty, Yujeong trembled with 493fc9c6ea betrayal.

Edwina’s second son, Damian 6289e23a98 Gregwindsor, had such a f38a57d354 rotten personality that his df3b804fcd secretaries couldn’t stand it c6b9d3da05 and kept quitting one fb81dcf00c after another.
