But Mitchel cut her off, looking annoyed, âWhy are you still here?â
Mitchelâs indifference and impatience didnât go unnoticed by Katie.
Her mind racked, wondering why he just couldnât fall for her after all her efforts.
Katieâs face turned ashen.
She hailed from a wealthy family and had never experienced such disregard before.
Realizing that staying would only humiliate her further, Katie decided to leave without a word.
Just as Katie turned around, Mitchel suddenly noticed that his phone was placed in a different place.
He immediately called out to her, âWait, did you touch my phone?â
Katie stopped, put on an innocent look, and lied, âNo, I didnât.
Maybe I accidentally touched it when I put the document on the table.
â
Mitchelâs face turned cold.
âI had told you not to send documents to my office in person.
If you prefer not to heed my words, why not hand me the resignation?â
His tone was flat yet his threat was unmistakable, the tension in the office palatable.
Katie clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into the palms of her hands.
But she still maintained her smile when she said, âOkay, Iâll keep it in mind.
â
Then, she started to walk out of Mitchelâs office with a facade of grace.
Once out of Mitchelâs office, Katieâs expression darkened, her aura chilly.
While walking along the corridor, one employee who passed by Katie accidentally bumped into her.
Katie grabbed the employeeâs arm and scolded, âAre you blind? Why didnât you see me? How dare you bump into me!â
Katieâs fingernails almost dug into the employeeâs arm.
The employee was in so much pain that she almost cried.
Seeing the furious Katie, the employeeâs face turned pale with fright.
She quickly apologized, âMiss Glyn, Iâm sorry.
Iâm so sorryâ¦â
The employee was puzzled.
Katie had always been gentle.
Why the sudden ferocious look?
Before long, Katie realized her loss of control.
She withdrew her hand and returned to her usual gentle and dignified look.
âItâs all right.
But be more careful next time.
â With that, she left.

The employee was so stunned that it took her a while to come back to her senses.
After sending the documents, the employee went to the lounge to check her arm.
The red marks left by Katieâs fingernails were conspicuous.
There were even faint bloodstains.
When she moved her arm, her face turned pale in pain.
At this moment, a colleague came in.
Seeing the formerâs bruised arm, she asked with a frown, âWhat happened to you?â
The employee was about to say something but stopped.
Katie had been known for her gentle demeanor in the company for several years.
Few would buy her words, even if she told the truth.
Sheâd better keep it to herself.
The less trouble, the better.
The employee rolled down her sleeve and said hesitantly, âItâs nothing.
I was bitten by some bugs.
â
As soon as Katie got in the car, she dialed a number.
She ordered coldly, âFind Lauren.
