Yvette had secured a permanent position at the company two months prior to Zoey’s arrival. Their workstations were next to each other. Yvette had observed every one of Zoey’s schemes. It takes one woman to recognize another’s manipulative ways, and Yvette was not fooled by Zoey’s weak strategies.
Zoey’s temper ignited upon hearing this. Clenching her teeth tightly, she said, “What right do you have to judge me?” What enraged her most was the disgust evident in Yvette’s gaze.
Yvette’s elegant appearance and sophisticated style made Zoey feel even more inferior. Standing beside Yvette, she couldn’t help but feel like a cheap item next to a high-end luxury piece on display.
“Look, I’m more beautiful and definitely richer than you. Drop those unimportant fantasies. Mr. Adams is mine,” Yvette said, her eyes flashing dangerously.
Every female at the company seemed magnetized by Vincent. Yvette, through careful plotting, had joined the company only to discover Zoey boldly tried to get close to Vincent through her connection with Katelyn.
Today, Yvette was determined to ruin Zoey. Zoey, arms folded, replied with a sharp insult, “You’re quite the joke. You couldn’t even match up to his lowest expectations.”
Her expression shifted as she changed her tone. “Katelyn is the only one fit for Mr. Adams. Do you match her talent and beauty?”
Zoey had come to realize that Yvette was nothing more than a pretty face with no brains. This was too good an opportunity to waste.
Upon hearing this, Yvette’s expression darkened, her eyes seething with rage. Yvette might see herself as better than Zoey, but when compared to Katelyn, she felt decidedly less. Yvette knew she could never match Katelyn’s naturally flawless beauty, despite her efforts. Moreover, Katelyn’s talent only heightened her charisma.
“Have you not seen the rumors online about Katelyn and Mr. Adams?” Zoey said, her eyes gleaming with success. “Mr. Adams favors her greatly, and they share an office. Doesn’t that tell you something about your chances?” Zoey’s eyes gleamed with pride, and every word she spoke seemed designed to strike Yvette’s heart. “You can’t even compete with Katelyn!”

“You!” Yvette burst into anger, her teeth gritted in rage. “And what is Katelyn, really? Nothing but a fraud, a worthless nobody. She uses her cheap tricks to seduce Mr. Adams!”
Yvette’s harsh remarks instantly changed the expressions of those around her. As a relative newcomer, Yvette was unaware of the stir Katelyn’s arrival had caused and Vincent’s relentless defense of her.
Though Katelyn had proven her skills enough to deserve the manager position in the design department, nobody spoke ill of her, fearing Vincent’s reaction. Sympathetic glances were cast towards Yvette from her colleagues, all too aware that if her comments reached Vincent, her job would be at risk.
A concerned colleague, noticing the tension, looked around nervously and tugged at Yvette’s sleeve. “Be quiet. If Mr. Adams hears you degrading Miss Bailey, there will be consequences.”
