Chapter 1754
Burning Passion: Love Never Die
Every night before she slept, her thoughts would drift off to Wesley-to everything he said and did.
Sometimes she would imagine how their future would be. Tonight was no exception.
The next morning, Blair handed the translated documents to the manager of the German cooperative
partner in the conference room. They were satisfied and spoke highly of her capability. She heaved a
sigh of relief. Of course, she thanked Wesleyâs help in her mind.
After the meeting, Blair was called into Filbertaâs office. Her superior requested her team to perform a
show in the companyâs annual gala next month. Filberta even gave a specific suggestion, asking them
to present a dance on the stage.
Blair was surprised. She asked in confusion, âDance? But why?â

Wearing bright red lipstick on her lips, Filberta flashed an evil smile.
âWell, as you already know, most of the staff members in our company are men. Itâll help to enliven the
atmosphere of the party.
Just learn some steps of modern dance and practice it with your team members. Besides, you arenât
married yet, right? Itâs a good chance that will help you find a boyfriend. Do remember to put on the
shortest skirt, put on heavy makeup and move your body as sexily as you can.â
Blair seethed in anger. She didnât know how to dance. It was late winter now, and Filberta was asking
her to wear a miniskirt. Did this vicious woman want to freeze her to death? But Blair understood the
actual intent of her words. She knew that Filberta wanted to humiliate her and was going to use this
opportunity to do so.
âFilberta, Iâm afraid I have to disappoint you. Since childhood Iâve not been good at dancing. And sadly I
have no other talents. It will bring shame to our department if I perform on the stage. So I think it is
better if you donât count me in.â
âDonât count you in? No way! You and your team must perform and present a dance in the show!â
Filberta was persistent.
She had a stronger desire now to push Blair onto the stage as she had confessed that she had no
other talents. It was clear to everyone that
Blair was like a goddess in the eyes of many of the male staff members.
It would be a good opportunity to show Blairâs incapability and ineptness to them. They would surely be
disappointed.
Blair rolled her eyes.
âWhy do we have to perform? Donât I have the right to make a choice? Is it also in the company rules
that one can be compelled to dance even if one isnât willing to?â
Sensing Blairâs anger, Filberta said in a righteous voice, âThe annual gala is the biggest event of the
company in a year. Why canât you make a little contribution to support the company? But now I can
clearly see that your work attitudes and ethics are not good enough.â
Blair felt her blood boiling in anger.
âYou mean to say that my work attitude is not good just because I refuse to perform on the stage?â she
countered.
âSorry to say but yes!â Filberta replied, trying to sound firm.
Blair couldnât keep her anger in control anymore.
âAre you nuts
Although there wasnât a third person in her office, Filberta still felt humiliated, being retorted by a
subordinate. She instantly shouted back, âHow dare you! Why donât you quit the job if you canât follow
orders? Who do you think you are? Huh? Everyone said yes except you.
Donât you think itâs your problem? Just put on a good performance. No more nonsense!â
She ended her sentence like a thunderous roar. Blair didnât want to make a scene. Suppressing her
anger, she explained patiently
âFilberta, I donât mean to reject your order on purpose. I just donât want to embarrass the translation
department. Thereâre many better choices.â
