A Love Trap

Chapter 793 Joy

They knew reflecting Sarah's defiant nature and bad temper to their superior would make no difference.

After all, as an indispensable designer, her position had earned her an unwritten right to be arrogant and overbearing. Who cared if she was grumpy and self-absorbed?

"Okay," Sarah answered.

She took a deep breath and prepared herself to go inside.

Right at her heels, her assistant took a step inside. However, Jeff stopped her. Without thinking, Jeff said in a bland tone, "At the behest of President Chloe, only Sarah is being summoned. Please stay where you are."

"What? No! I'm coming with Sarah!"

Sarah's assistant had never been treated like this before and now she was completely exasperated. Being told to stay outside struck a nerve in her. Blinded by her rage, she stepped up to Jeff and snapped at him, not caring at all where she was or who was inside the meeting room.

Jeff was a stranger to Sarah's assistant, that's true. But Sarah herself should know him well. Hadn't she shared information about Jeff's position in the company with her assistant?

As an assistant to the CEO, Jeff only did things that the CEO herself commanded.

He was not a common employee of the company who could be scolded by Sarah or her assistant.

With a light glance at Sarah, Jeff wondered why Chloe summoned her, but Chloe should have no love for Sarah in his opinion.

This kind of thing was common in the company. Jeff did not want to meddle at first. It was no use being involved in a dog-eat-dog quarrel with Sarah's assistant.

Jeff wanted no argument, so he just glanced at Sarah's assistant and let her enter the meeting room as well.

Sarah also gave her assistant a cold look, which scared her.

Unexpectedly, before they could enter the meeting room, Chloe stepped out.

Too late, she happened to hear all of Sarah's assistant's words.

Chloe could not help laughing. She said coldly, "My, my. Do you need me to tell you, dear?

You're Sarah's assistant, and Jeff is mine. Sarah may be your boss, but I run this damn place now. How dare you bully my assistant?"

Chloe looked at Sarah's assistant with cold, quiet fury in her eyes.

Behind Chloe stood Derrick and some of the directors who were ready to enjoy the show. After a fresh reprimand from Chloe, they felt that this scene with Sarah and her assistant was an even bigger deal.

The directors had not realized what they were thinking.

Like a dog with its tail between its legs, Sarah's assistant hid behind her as if she had never seen so many people in front of her before.

Looking at the reaction of Sarah's assistant, Chloe could not help laughing. It was truly ridiculous.

Sarah looked at Chloe with a confused look on her face. She only knew that there was a new boss in the company, but she was not aware of the new CEO's identity.

"Who are you?" Sarah asked.

It had to be admitted that Sarah was pretty cool in front of other people.

Jeff answered in Chloe's stead.

At the same time, he glanced at Chloe, only to feel a little happiness in his heart. Originally, he did not pay much attention to these things. He just pretended to be domineering.

As a man, how could he quarrel with a woman?

But he did not expect that Chloe would come out and help him.

Although it might be that Chloe simply detested Sarah, Jeff was still a little moved.

"C... CEO?"

Sarah muttered in disbelief, throwing Chloe a suspicious look.

She could not believe what she just heard.

But Chloe looked much younger than her. How could she be the new CEO?

Derrick standing behind Chloe dispelled her doubts. This woman must indeed be the new CEO. Sarah could not help taking a step back out of fear.

Just now, her assistant bullied the new CEO's assistant.

Sarah clenched her teeth at the thought. She turned around and suddenly slapped her assistant.

Her anger rose in her heart as her palm landed on her assistant's face. "How many times have I told you to control your damn emotions and get along well with others? Look what you've done! Go and

apologize!"

Under the weight of Sarah's angry stare, her assistant slowly trotted to Jeff and begged him in between quiet sobs, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to snap at you just now. I was acting like a snob. Will you forgive me?"

Sarah's assistant had started crying. She looked humiliated and scared.

Chloe just watched the show with a blank expression on her face.

How could an assistant act so pretentiously?

Could she do such a thing without Sarah's connivance and acquiescence?

It was impossible. She probably got the encouragement from Sarah.

After all, she seemed to have forgotten her status with Sarah backing her up.

Jeff took a step back. He replied in a cold tone, "You almost got me in trouble by making a fuss out of something trivial just now. I think you should learn your lesson the hard way."

Chloe glanced at her assistant. She had not expected him to be ruthless.

Now that she knew the situation and had already decided what to do, she looked at Sarah with a straight face.

But she was still not sure, so she turned her head toward Derrick who was standing behind her. He nodded to her and mouthed, "Yes, she is Sarah."

Okay.

Now that she had finally found the culprit, things would be much easier.

But what excuse should she make to fire her?

Was it possible to fire her without grounds?

Well, it was not impossible. It would just be troublesome and questionable.

Sarah had been working in this company for a long time. It would not be appropriate for Chloe to fire her without any valid reason.

If she had known, she would have made the best plan before coming here.

But now, she caught their overbearing behavior on the spot. It would be a pity to simply forgive Sarah.

So, Chloe planned to make it a quick move.

Besides, she had to go home and continue writing her novel.

Derrick stood behind Chloe, so he did not know whether her expression was relaxed or not. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

But Derrick did not see that Sarah had captured the changes in Chloe's expressions.

Sarah did not really know why. Perhaps it was her intuition as a woman that told her that the new CEO did not like her very much.

But why?

Chloe did not have any reason to hate her. They had never even met each other before.
