Chapter 2229: Chapter 2443

“Why is she so fortunate? Just because of her looks? I suspect she’s a slut, using her charm to manipulate men.

”

One audacious female colleague rolled her eyes.

“So what if she has Kurt’s attention? If she’s really something, try Mr.

Shaw.

I hear he’s still single.

He’s the real catch.

Maybe he’ll notice me someday!”

She blushed and coyly ran her fingers through her hair.

Someone retorted bluntly, “Keep dreaming.

That new intern is far prettier than you!”

Shortly after Dulcie departed, the gossiping female employees in the department directed their disdain toward her.

She swiftly became the focal point of animosity and isolation.

Dulcie followed Kurt into the elevator, visibly upset, her head bowed.

Kurt offered comfort.

“Some women tend to gossip.

They can be harsh without knowing the truth.

Don’t take it personally, Mrs.

Shaw.

If you have any issues, come to me.

I’ll help.

”

“Thank you, but… I’m just an intern here.

I’m not Mrs.

Shaw.

”

“Well…”

Kurt was unsure how to respond.

When the elevator reached the underground level, Kurt nodded politely, gesturing for Dulcie to precede him.

“You know Mr.

Shaw’s car, right? He’s waiting for you inside.

Take care.

”

“Okay.

Thanks.

”

Bunny Bookery

She stepped out of the elevator alone and scanned the parking lot for Kyson’s car.

She quickly spotted Kyson’s distinctive luxury car.

Pausing at the car door, she hesitated before finally opening the back door.

The window beside the passenger seat rolled down slowly.

Kyson, wearing a cold expression, impatiently reminded her, “Sit in the front.

”

Having been publicly scolded by him just moments ago, she was reluctant to sit beside him.

What if he scolded her once more?

Despite her unease, she reluctantly opened the passenger door, settled in, and fastened her seatbelt under Kyson’s icy stare.

Kyson was clearly upset and inclined to scold her further.

However, seeing her upset expression and bowed head, he found himself unable to go through with it.

“How was your first day at work?”

Biting her lip, she replied quietly, “Not bad.

There was a lot to do today, and I’m still adjusting, but I think I’ll be okay by tomorrow or the day after.

”

Kyson couldn’t help but smile.

Unable to resist, he reached out and pinched her cheek gently, saying, “Looks Like you’re quite adaptable.

Why did you hide from me on purpose when I walked over?”
