Chapter 30

Chapter 30 Chapter 30 Madeline was scolded for no reason, but she wasn’t angry.

urface is beautiful, but your body is Wendy gave Madeline a provocative look. “Ms. Larson What is your occupation? You look quite young. Your nothing like mine.

How did you get to stay at Steven’s house with that rectangle body shape of yours?”

Wendy was consumed by jealousy She had s Leasy feat to buy a house there.

I spent a fortune renting a place in Republic Garden. It wasn’t an easy To her dismay, she hardly ever sow SteveIL Even when she did, he was always accompanied by bodyguards, making it impossible for her to converse with him.

Because of that, she was both frustrated and anxious.

When she finally found Steven alone one day, he gave her a cold stare that scared her away Wendy regretted it so much.

“If only I had been braver back then, she reflected.

She reasoned that if a woman like Madeline could be with Steven, she might have a chance as well because there was not much of a difference between her and Madeline Perhaps it was just a lack of courage.

Madeline chuckled lightly. “I recall you being a celebrity.”

“That’s right. Have you seen me on television?” Wendy straightened her back. After all, she had over five million followers on Twitter She was of soften the female lead in web dramas, She had good resources and would appear in two or three TV dramas per year.

It was common for people to recognize her.

“Only a celebrity of my stature can afford to live here. I am not like you, who can only live in Republic Garden thanks to a man. I am sure living here makes you uneasy. You could be driven out in humiliation at any time. This is what happens when people overestimate their abilities. You cannot even live in such a luxurious mansion peacefully.”

“True.” Madeline nodded. “You have a point.”

Nonetheless, she wasn’t bothered, She didn’t think much of someone like Wendy.

Back when she was a background extra in dramas, Wendy used to bully newcomers in the film crew because she had a decent fanbase. People with such personalities were unlikely to achieve significant fame.

“What a shameless woman.” Wendy remarked on Madeline’s demeanor, “You are surprisingly calm. You appear to be a gold digger, but unfortunately, you are not very good at it. You cannot even get yourself some branded clothing.”

Isabelle cleared her throat and said, “Don’t be so shortsighted. Even after y your career is over, Ms. Larson will still be by Mr. Wagner’s side.”

labelle wasn’t blind. Steven’s behavior toward Madeline was more than just a game.

Besides, they had not even confirmed their relationship.

Once they started dating. Steven would never be stingy.

Let’s go. Do not bother this big celebrity who is just sitting around waiting for an opportunity.”

Hearing that, Wendy was fuming with anger.

She stomped her feet in frustration behind their backs.

Afterward, the two of them went to the supermarket.

Isabelle rouln’t help but complain, “There isn’t a single woman by Mr. Wagner’s side. All heiresses of the weakly families in upper–class society are Chapter 30 afraid of him, but there are some who are not from upper–class society willing to take a risk.” –

Holding a box of cherry tomatoes, she looked at Madeline and continued, “There are a lot of people like Wendy, and they are not worth our attention lly the way, why is your stranách so sensitive? Do you often skip meals?”

Madeline thought for a moment and touched her belly. I skipped meals frequently for about eight months while I was studying “You really don’t take care of your body. You should take better care of it” Isabelle sighed, “You should also limit y Madeline shook her head as she looked at the assortment of drinks in the freezers. “I only drink plain water?

One bottle of beverage cost 80 cents, which was the equivalent of a meal for her.

She was never going to buy a drink.

your intake of cold beverages.

Babelle was taken aback, wondering. “Then why is she still in such poor health? She appears to be malnourished as well. Based on her appearance, could it be that her family is not well–off”

Isabelle never never brought it up again, but she felt somewhat helpless. In the future, I will make mushroom soup for you. It’s good for your health.”

Is the afternoon, Madeline went to the company again.

She felt embarrassed to have done nothing for the entire day, and staying at Republic Garden was getting a bit boring.

When she arrived at the company, she noticed that many people in the secretary department were giving her strange looks.

At that moment, Matilda was nowhere to be seen.

“Madeline, what brings you to the company today! I heard you took a sick leave. Selena Youngs, who was sitting in front of her computer, smiled sweetly at Madeline and asked, “How are you? Is everything all right”

“I am fine. Just stomach disorders, Madeline responded indifferently.

When Brianna Sawyer heard that, she clicked her tongue. I am so envious of you. We in the secretary department are constantly working overtime. We have to work even if we have a stomachache or a fever. However, you twisted your ankle in front of Mr.

Wagner yesterday and are on sick leave today due to stomach disorders. What a weak woman. Everyone here wears high heels, but no one has ever twisted their ankle in front of Mr. Wagner Selena couldn’t help but laugh. That’s true. Perhaps it was just a coincidence. Lucky you.”

A few others joined in and laughed sarcastically. They were not joking-

Steven rarely went to Vanguard Corporation, so they didn’t have many opportunities to meet him Hence, seeing a newcomer like Madeline receive such special treatment made them feel unjust, After all, who would not want to work in the same office as Steven without having to do much and get close to him?

Madeline sensed their hostility and decided not to say anything as she headed into the office “Why are you going into the office? Mr. Wagner isn’t inside. Stop pretending, you scheming woman,” Brianna remarked sarcastically.

Madeline turned her head and uttered, “We are in the company, not your home. Just because you have worked here for a few more years than me does not mean you can order me around like the CEO of the company. You are just an employer as well In an instant, Brianna’s expression darkened.

Despite the fact that she was a senior employee, Madeline, the newcomer, was talking back to her.

Her ego was wounded. “What a good employee you are. The document you translated into Uprian for Mr. bad. If I were you, I would be too embarrassed to show up at the company!”

Madeline was taken aback. Translated document?” she wondered.

-Later, she walked into the office, thinking of asking Matilda about it afterward She had only y sent the document to the computer the day before, and it had not been published yet.

Wagner yesterday was so horrendously She pursed her lips and wrinkled her nose as she rested her chin on the desk. “Could it be that the translation from yesterday was. But I doubt Steven will publish it right away”“”

Madeline thought about it and felt somewhat awkward.

Chapter 30 Not long after, someone entered the When Brandon saw Madeline, he couldn’t help but grin. “Greetings, Ms. Larson.”

Madeline smiled back. “Greetings, Mr. Kromer.”

Steven, who exuded a cold aura, entered right after Brandon, causing Brandon to fall silent.

Even without air conditioning, the temperature in the office seemed to be dropping Madeline stood up and said, “Hi, Mr. Wagner.”

“She is already residing at Mr. Wagner’s home, yet she is still being so polite, Brandon mentally remarked, Thinking of that, he was about to laugh.

again.

“Get out, Steven instructed.

This time. Madeline knew he was not talking to l her. T The next moment, Brandon hurried out of the office, Madeline squeezed her hands and asked, “Mr. Wagner, would you like something to drink?”

Steven strode forward and sat in the mahogany chair. “Your Uprian proficiency seems to have made a name for itself in Vanguard Corporation’s foreign branches.”

Tapologize, Mr. Wagner! It was my fault! Madeline frowned. “I will reflect on my actions.”

Madeline’s heart was racing. She remembered how Winslet almost got fired.

Tve already gotten into trouble on my first day. Am I going to get fired on the spot? What about the advance salary?” she thought. Immediately, her face turned pale.

Shortly afterward, Steven nodded and tapped the desk with a pen. completed it.”

a pen. “Not fewer than a thousand words. You are not allowed to leave until you have Madeline was taken aback. “So my afternoon assignment is to write a self–reflection report?” she wondered.

She blinked, looking puzzled. “Aren’t you going to fire me?”

With a pensive gaze, Steven looked at her and questioned, “Do you want to get fired Madeline shook her head and replied, “No! Thank you me a chance, Mr. Wagner. I will never make the same mistake again!”

for giving Steven snorted softly and thought she was adorable when he heard that.
