Chapter 27 Please Reconsider Going
Caroline knocked expressionly on the glass, instantly capturing the attention of all the secretaries in the
office. As they turned around and saw Caroline, they fell dead silent.
With a smile on her face, Caroline entered the office and addressed them, “Why did the conversation
suddenly stop when I arrived? Shouldn’t I be included since I’m the one being talked
about?”
The secretaries exchanged nervous glances.
Caroline held the documents in her hand as she approached the front table and shot them an icy gaze.
“Perhaps you should dedicate your time to work rather than indulge in gossip about others.”
Placing the documents on the table, she continued, “Ms. Walker, as the head of the secretaries, you
should set a better example instead of indulging in idle chat. Before you leave, kindly collect
this month’s salary from the finance department.”
Jane Walker widened her eyes and stood up abruptly. “Are you planning to fire me over this?”
Caroline chuckled and retorted, “Is this your only mistake? You have neglected to sort out and
report the document delivered by Flying Builders two days ago.”
Jane’s face turned red as she argued, “I shouldn’t have to handle that kind of task. It’s below my
paygrade.”
Caroline responded coldly. “As the head of the secretaries, your first mistake is you failed to monitor
the progress of your subordinates‘ work. As for your second mistake, perhaps you should
take a closer look at this document.”
Reluctantly, Jane stepped forward to accept the document. Her face paled as she quickly glanced
at it.
Pushing the document away indignantly, she snapped, “Who do you think you are? You’re just a
slut who climbed your way up the corporate ladder by selling your body, yet you have the
audacity to act so arrogantly here. What right do you have to fire me?”
Caroline chuckled once again. “You are entitled to your opinion, but it is not I who is firing you.
The company has decided to terminate your employment. The workplace can be cruel, and only
those who are capable rise to higher positions.”
Dealing with the clique–formed group of secretaries was far from easy.
After hours of arguing and scrutinizing the documents, Caroline felt so exhausted that she almost
collapsed into her chair.

She sighed, feeling a melancholic weight in her heart as she gazed at the vacant office space.
They were under Mark’s command, yet he lacked the courage to show up when they faced.
criticism and dismissal.
In comparison to Mark’s despicable tactics, Evan displayed far greater excellence.
After taking a five–minute break to rest, she made her way toward the president’s office.
Just as she approached the door, Evan emerged. They locked eyes.
Caroline quickly averted her gaze and shared, ‘It has been resolved.”
He responded, “In the afternoon, assist the personnel department with the hiring, and join me to meet
someone at noon.”
Confusion washed over her, prompting an involuntary question, “Who?”
Evan replied. “The former director of an orphanage.
With that, he walked away, leaving her no choice but to follow suit. As she walked, her gaze briefly
swept into the president’s office.
There, she caught sight of Mark, kneeling on the ground, his gaze fixed wickedly upon Evan’s
departing figure. Her heart skipped a beat involuntarily.
As they stepped out of the elevator on the ground floor, they coincidentally encountered Paige and
Daniella emerging from the staff elevator across from them.
Upon spotting Evan, Daniella smiled and hurried towards him, asking, “Evan, are you going for
lunch?”
While speaking, she attempted to link arms with him, but he coldly evaded her touch.
Daniella’s expression stiffened momentarily, yet Evan pretended not to notice.
Instead, he narrowed his eyes and focused on Daniella. “I’m going to meet the orphanage director.”
Abruptly, she lowered her head and anxiously bit her lip. In a panic, she questioned Evan, “Why do
you want to meet her?”
Noticing her distress, his eyes turned icy. “Ella, why are you so nervous?”
Shaking her head, her face paling, Daniella hurriedly explained, “No, I’m not. I’m just… I’m just…”
“What?” Evan pressed on, his gaze fierce.
Consequently, her breathing quickened, and she averted her gaze. “No, nothing. Evan, please.
reconsider going.”

Evan’s expression darkened. “Are you hiding something from me?”
“Stop interrogating me!” Daniella suddenly screamed in terror. “Evan, please, no more questions.
Don’t force me to remember those memories. I’m begging you,van, please, no more questions.
Observing from the sidelines, Caroline and Paige exchanged glances. They couldn’t help but wonder
why Daniella’s behavior had taken such an unexpected turn.
Evan’s face grew somber. He stepped forward and tightly gripped Daniella’s arm. “Tell me what
happened!”
“No!” she cried out desperately, pushing Evan’s hand away and crossing her arms protectively across
her chest.
Trembling, she retreated while sobbing. “Please, I beg you. It’s my fault. Don’t do this to me. No!”
In a sudden outburst, she screamed, shut her eyes tightly, and collapsed heavily onto the floor.
