Chapter 219: Chapter 219

"Millie, you’ve just become Nina Sinclair’s assistant, and you think you’re attached to some big shot? Even though Nina was sent from above, Elysian answers to Manager Sinclair. Don’t bet on the wrong horse!"

"Exactly! We just said a couple of things about Nina, and you jumped out to defend her. Even a dog isn’t as loyal as you. Who knows if Nina will even reward you with a bone in the future." The source of thɪs content is ɴo(v)elFɪre.ɴet

Nina Sinclair stood at the doorway, listening to the string of mocking voices.

Although she couldn’t tell who was speaking, the target seemed to be her assistant, Millie Langley.

She couldn’t see what was happening inside, but just hearing those words made her anger rise rapidly. Still, she wanted to understand exactly what was happening, so she curbed all her emotions for the moment.

Millie Langley was the assistant assigned to her by the company. She was a cute girl with a round face, and from the first day Nina met her, she found her to be very lively and enthusiastic.

Judging by these two people’s words, she could guess what had probably happened.

It must have been them gossiping about her behind her back, overheard by Millie, who likely couldn’t take it anymore and jumped in to refute them, leading to the collective mockery from the two.

In the break room, Millie stared at the two women in front of her. One was Sierra Sinclair’s assistant, Rhonda, and the other was Rhonda’s usual close colleague, Aileen Chase from the HR department.

Millie was trembling with anger from their words.

She wasn’t bootlicking Nina Sinclair; she just felt they were wrong. But these two didn’t bother to differentiate right from wrong and directly mocked, which was truly infuriating!

Millie said sternly, "I’m not wrong. You only heard rumors without any evidence. What right do you have to gossip about Director Sinclair behind her back?"

"What’s the big deal if we did?"

"Go ahead and report us if you have the guts!"

Nina Sinclair usually didn’t stir up trouble, but she wasn’t someone who could be easily pushed around. Since Millie was now part of her team, there was no way she’d stand by and watch her own people get bullied.

She turned and appeared in the break room.

Rhonda and Aileen still had arrogant and high-handed expressions on their faces, but when Nina suddenly appeared in front of them, they were taken aback.

"Director... Director Sinclair." The two immediately lowered their heads.

Nina crossed her arms and looked at the two women coldly, saying nonchalantly, "I didn’t hear what you were saying just now. How about you tell me directly now?"

The two were just paper tigers, arrogant and pleased with themselves in front of Millie, but they dared not say anything in front of Nina. After all, Nina seemed to have backing, and they were just small employees who wouldn’t dare to confront her.

Nina looked at Millie and praised her, "You did very well with this matter. My people don’t need to cower."

At this moment, Rhonda’s eyes darkened, and she gritted her teeth, "We’re not lying. How you got into Elysian, doesn’t everyone already know without us saying it?"

Nina squinted her eyes slightly.

It seemed that many at Elysian resented her sudden appearance, judging by the deep resentment in these two’s appearances.

"What happened?" a voice sounded at the door.

Vincent Lancaster appeared before them, and seeing the tense atmosphere in the break room, he asked, "Did something happen just now?"

Upon seeing Vincent, Rhonda and Aileen turned white instantly, not daring to speak further.

They knew Vincent’s identity and were somewhat afraid of him.

Vincent looked at Millie and asked, "You tell me."
