Chapter 200: Chapter 204

Chapter 204 Bryce chuckled, taking Maeve’s hand as she patted his shoulder. “Ms. Scott, as your loyal partner, I won’t stand by and let you be bullied.”

“What are you planning? Maeve asked, eyeing him warly.

Bryce winked and made a shushing gesture. “It’s a secret.”

Maeve found it perplexing.

The next day, news of Bryce finishing his shoot and leaving Tomkins Corporation spread quickly.

Maeve returned to her workstation to find her desk cluttered with disorganized files and sticky notes covering her computer.

“Maeve, you’ve been following Bryce for days and neglected your Internship tasks. Ms. Stewart asked me to give you these.

“They all need to be done today, or your internship grade will be at risk,” a nearby female employee, Erika Finley, said after dumping a stack of files on Maeve’s desk.

Maeve glanced at the pile of documents, which was almost as high as her computer. Then, she looked at Clara, who was smirking in the office.

She had expected this but was surprised by Clara’s lack of subtlety.

Maeve counted the files and said, “I remember this task was assigned to you by Ms. Sweedney yesterday, wasn’t it?”

Erika, unfazed, replied, “So what? I’m a permanent employee here. Passing you these files shows my trust in you.”

Maeve let out a cold laugh. “Do you think it’s possible to review all these reports and create ten corresponding proposals in one day?”

Erika hesitated but retorted, “Maeve, this is a learning opportunity for you. You’d better be grateful! Tomkins Group is a listed company that is highly respected in the industry.

“Consider yourself lucky to intern here, especially since you got into Amenam University through connections.”

Maeve chuckled at Erika’s words. Who on earth could say such shameless words? “Who told you I got Into Amenam University through connections?”

“Of course it’s...” Erika started but swallowed her words after realizing her mistake.

“Maeve, the fact is a fact. The whole company knows you got in through connections. Otherwise, how could you be interning at Tomkins Group?”

“There are many interns here. Are you saying they all got in through connections?” Maeve asked.

Chaper 204 “I...” Erika faltered.

Clara stepped out of the office, saying, “Maeve, are you saying you can’t handle the tasks I’ve assigned. you?”

She dropped her pretense and stood before Maeve like a victor.

“Ms. Stewart, Maeve says she can’t complete these tasks,” Erika said.

Clara replied, “Why can’t you? I can complete these tasks, and so can others. Maeve, are you just here to coast through your internship?

“If that’s your attitude, I will discuss with Mr. Tomkins whether you should continue your internship here.”

The atmosphere in the workspace grew tense, but Maeve smirked. She couldn’t fathom where Clara’s superiority complex came from.

“Fine, but you’ll need to move aside before you can do so,” Maeve said.

Clara frowned. “What do you mean by that?”

“It’s simple. Move.”

As soon as Maeve spoke, two rows of black–suited bodyguards entered the company.

Leading them, Zayla approached Maeve and respectfully said, “Ms. Scott, here is the contract for Mr. Grant and Tomkins Jewelry for this quarter.”
