EuropeNovelChapter 229 A few people huddled together, whispering among themselves.
"Looks like she really slept her way to that contract." "Wouldn't be surprising. She's gorgeous, and that design is solid. It makes sense that Mr. Young approved it." "The heiress of Yates Corporation, selling herself just to land a deal. She really went all in, huh?" "People will do anything to keep their spot in the company." Suzanne simply glanced at them with an indifferent look, making no effort to explain. Trying to reason with people who thought on a completely different level was a waste of time. Besides, she couldn't care less about her so-called reputation.
Seline, however, took her silence as guilt. A triumphant glint flashed through her eyes. The contract being signed was a win for the company, and since she was the department manager, the credit would naturally go to her.
On top of that, Khalil had supposedly slept with Suzanne. Now, there was no way Jenson would ever look at her again.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis was a perfect two-for-one deal.
Excitement bubbled in Seline's chest, but she kept her expression composed. She let out a soft chuckle and turned to Suzanne with a seemingly concerned smile. "You worked hard for this, Suzanne. Don't worry, I'll put in a good word for you with Dad so that you can stay in the company." With so many people around, she had to suppress her glee.
After offering those words of "reassurance", she quickly added, "Anyway, I'll let you get back to work. I need to head to my office." Without waiting for a response, she spun on her heel and walked off briskly. She was afraid that if she lingered, she might not be able to hide her excitement.
Meanwhile, the whispers in the office made Tanya's expression darken. She bit her lip as she looked at Suzanne, hesitating for a moment before finally turning toward Seline's office.
In her office, Seline was in an excellent mood. She hummed a little tune as she strolled into her office. She plopped into her chair and spun in it lightly. A huge grin was plastered across her face as she admired her freshly manicured nails.
What a fantastic day.
The sudden knock on the door made her pause. Setting her coffee cup aside, she curved her lips into a pleasant smile. "Cin." The door swung open, and Tanya stepped inside. Her fingers twisted anxiously in front of her, her expression uneasy as she stood hesitantly in front of Seline's desk.
Seline's mood dampened slightly, and she glanced at Tanya impatiently. "What's with the nervous act? Just say whatever you need to say." She picked up her coffee cup and took a slow sip, savoring the smooth taste.
Tanya hesitated for a beat but eventually blurted out, "Ms. Yates, about the contract with Mr. Young... I didn't accomplish the mission." Seline's grip on the cup tightened. She set it down and lifted her gaze, her brows knitting together as she asked, "What do you mean by that?" A sudden sense of unease crept up her spine.
Tanya kept her head down, not daring to meet her eyes. In a low voice, she explained, "I mean... Mr. Young never actually slept with Suzanne. He just signed the contract." Her stomach twisted in anxiety. This was the first major assignment Seline had given her since she was promoted to deputy manager, and she had failed. She had no idea how angry Seline was going to be.

"You're joking, right? Khalil would never just sign a contract without getting something in return."
Everyone in the industry knew what kind of man Khalil was. The idea that Was he'd suddenly change his ways just for Suzanne was impossible. She refused to believe it. Tanya quickly waved her hands in defense. "No, it's not like that! He didn't sign it on his own. It was... Mr. Lambert." "What? Who?" Seline's expression twisted in disbelief. Her breath hitched as if she had just been sucker-punched.
Tanya froze, then shut her eyes in panic before blurting it all wing it all out in one I breath. "When I went back, Mr.
Lambert was already there. It looked like he helped Suzanne."
The coffee cup in Seline's hand slipped and shattered on the floor, splintering into shards after shem heard Thanya mention Jenson's ΕΠ name. She stared at Tanya in shock, her expression twisted with disbelief. "Say that again! Who? Givethe full name!" She hadn't misheard, but she couldn't believe it. Maybe Tanya had said the wrong name. Or maybe it was another A-list actor with the slast name-Lambert.
Tanya clutched her chest, startled. Her heart was pounding at the sight of the shattered cup. Her voice trembled as she said, "Jenson Lambert, the A-list actor." Seline felt the blood drain from her face. Her vision went dark for a second, and she grabbed onto her desk to keep herself steady.
That wretched Suzanne had somehow gotten involved with Jenson again.
