Chapter 64

Kimberly waved her hand and said, “Aurelia, please don’t misunderstand. We didn’t mean to pressure you. We were just concerned that Millie might have been deceived. Let’s head upstairs

now.

“Oh, it seems like the elevator can’t fit all of us. You can take the next one.”

With that, Kimberly and her group entered the elevator and closed the doors. Millie stomped her foot and gritted her teeth, “One day, I’ll surpass her!”

Hearing this, Aurelia frowned and looked at Millie’s swollen feet.

Millie usually wore sneakers, so her feet hadn’t been exposed to the sun in a long time and were very pale. However, her feet were quite wide, making them unsuitable for wearing such stiff high heels. With the five–inch pointed heels practically forcing her to walk on tiptoes, her pale flesh became even more prominent.

Her feet were now swollen, and it didn’t look good at all. As she was wearing a floral skirt, it also looked quite mismatched.

Aurelia sighed softly and took out some adhesive bandages and iodine swabs from her bag, handing them to Millie.

“Your feet are all chafed. You should take care of them immediately.”

“Ouch…” Millie tiptoed, leaning on Aurelia’s shoulder. “Why are these heels so difficult to walk in? It felt like I was stepping on nails when I was in the subway.”

“Millie, the people who usually wear this brand of shoes don’t need to walk or squeeze into subways. If something doesn’t suit you, there’s no need to force it,” Aurelia advised.

“Why not? I’m probably just not used to it. If Kimberly can walk in them, I can too. I’ll just put on some band–aids, and I’ll be fine.”

“Millie…”

“Okay, okay, I get it. We’ll be late if we don’t hurry. Let’s go.”

“Alright.”

Aurelia knew that Millie wouldn’t listen, so it was useless to persuade her.

When they arrived upstairs, Aurelia had just taken a seat and hadn’t even had time to eat her breakfast when she saw Kimberly coming out of Zachary’s office. Soon after, Zachary followed her out angrily and gave Aurelia a displeased glare.

“Aurelia, come into my office.”

“Alright.”

As soon as Aurelia walked into Zachary’s office, she was taken aback by his sudden accusations. “Aurelia! Do you even take the company seriously? I’ve already warned you not to bring personal matters into the office!

“With your continuous arrogance and disregard for others, how do you plan to compete for

the position of deputy director? Your behavior will become a subject of ridicule!

“Look at Kimberly. She’s highly educated and incredibly capable. She’s never done anything like what you’ve done.

“I think you’re unsuitable for the position of deputy director. It’s better if you stepped down. Alright, that’s all. You may leave now.”

Zachary didn’t even give Aurelia a chance to explain.

Kimberly must have said something to him.

“Why are you still here? Do I need to escort you out?” Zachary said impatiently.

“If that’s the reason, I won’t accept it.”

“What did you say?” Zachary looked at Aurelia in surprise.

“It’s not my fault that my ex–boyfriend came here. In fact, if he hadn’t been influenced by Kimberly’s words, he wouldn’t even have appeared here. If I have to withdraw from the deputy director elections because of this, then Kimberly, who had been inciting public opinion throughout the building, should also have to withdraw.”

“You… Do you have any evidence?” Zachary asked angrily.

“I do.”

Kimberly probably didn’t expect Aurelia to have already taken screenshots of the

conversations in the group chat. The group had already been disbanded, so she wasn’t worried.

Aurelia took her phone out and sent all the screenshots of the messages from the group chat to Zachary.

“Mr. Zeller, is this evidence enough?”

Zachary fell silent.
