EuropeNovelChapter 622:
Nina remained composed, her tone even.
“Overbearing.”
Lillian was visibly agitated, ready to confront Nina further, but Daniela intervened. Nina, misinterpreting
Daniela’s action as support, allowed herself a smug expression.
Just as Nina was about to add more, Daniela’s look becstern.
“Are you sure you want to continue this?”
Nina hesitated, then closed her mouth.
Daniela’s voice was cold.
“Lillian is your supervisor here. If you're unable to show the necessary respect and can only behave courteously
towards Cedric, maybe you'd be better suited as a secretary at Phillips Group.”
Nina cast a quick glance at Cedric. Indeed, she had ambitions to join Phillips Group, but Cedric had not yet made
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsuch an offer. She had only recently secured her position at Daniela’s company, and being dismissed on her first
day would be disastrous, especially in her mother’s eyes.
“I apologize,” Nina quickly said, her tone smooth and practiced.
“Lillian, | accept full responsibility. I'll reflect on my behavior. Please don’t hold this against me.”
Nina was aware that Daniela, likely out of respect for her mother, wouldn't dismiss her hastily. Thus, her remorse
was not entirely genuine.
After her plea, she turned to Daniela, attempting to charm her.

“Daniela, I've apologized. Let's not dwell on this. | was really frightened when | accidentally spilled coffee on

You won't stay upset with me, right?” Nina delivered her apology with a seemingly innocent smile, her
underlying motives well-hidden. Even the finance manager, pausing at the door to deliver his report, found
himself momentarily moved by her act.
Daniela issued a mild reproof to Nina before dismissing her.
As Nina exited, she cast multiple glances back at Cedric.
When Nina had finally left, Lillian exhaled deeply, turned to Daniela, and warned, “Daniela! Nina and Elyse are
far more manipulative than Katrina.”
Daniela responded with a light chuckle.
“The Dury women are worldly; their broad experiences, connections, and influence grant them a certain stature
in their social circles. They're not limited in their views like Katrina. It’s best to keep your distance to avoid any
potential harm.”
Lillian was about to reply when Cedric added, “I'll be on guard as well.”
Daniela looked at Cedric, who was visibly cautious, and smiled, shaking her head.
In the following days, Nina kept a low profile at work. She was hardworking and adjusted well to her duties,
though she occasionally showed signs of emotional instability, and her eyes involuntarily followed Cedric. For the

she takes the bait?”
At that moment, Daniela was busy signing documents. Upon hearing Lillian’s suggestion, she paused and looked
up, asking, “The bait?”
Lillian glanced toward Cedric, who was focused on his work near the office entrance.
“Nothing great is achieved without srisk.”
