Chapter 40 “Kate, what’s wrong?” Seeing her frozen in the kitchen, Jane couldn’t help but worry about her getting scorched, quickly getting up and walking over to check on her. Little did she know, Kate was cracking up over a pot of soup and a pile of herbal residue. “This is…” Jane paused, it finally dawned on her that the aroma she’d been whiffing since early morning was from these! Kate struggled to suppress her laughter, casting Jane a meaningful glance, “If I tell you, promise me you won’t flip your lid.” “What is going on?” “These are all Chinese herbs,” Kate casually picked a few and explained, “This is Evodia fruit, this is Polygonatum, these are deer antler glue, donkey-hide gelatin, and turtle plastron glue…” “The rest are common ones, you may recognize them, Goji berries, Mulberries, Lilies, and Asparagus

root.” Jane was confused, a puzzled look in her eyes, “What are these for? Why would Dan make such a soup for me?” ‘These are all for nourishing kidneys and enhancing sexual performance for women!” Kate burst into laughter, “Thank G od you didn’t slurp it down. If you had a bowl, I bet you’d be hyper-sexual tonight. Dan is no match for you at all!” Jane was taken aback, her face blushing a deep shade of crimson. “Hold on, what’s his deal?” Kate draped an arm around Jane’s neck, “You’re clearly on your period and can’t cater to his needs, yet he’s still hoping for sex tonight?” “Kate!” Jane shot her a look, not letting her carry on with her teasing. “Alright, alright, I won’t raz z you anymore.” Kate guided her back to bed. Regardless of Dan’s intentions, this ‘magic potion of a soup’ was definitely off the menu. Kate had a painkiller for her. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“By the way, I’ve got some serious business to discuss with you.” Jane was taken aback, seeing her laughter replaced by a serious face, she started feeling a bit nervous. “What’s the matter?” “This morning, I passed by Mr. Colt’s office and overheard his conversation with Ava… Your name was mentioned.” Jane’s face turned pale. Ben was Ava’s uncle, and the company’s major shareholder. After the punch-up with Ava the other day, it was only a matter of time before she tattled to her uncle. Now, staying in the company seemed out of the question, but she had yet to submit her resume elsewhere and there were still a few pending orders… 12.00 “Don’t be nervous,” Kate comforted, gently patting the back of her hand. “Actually, I was quite taken aback by what I heard. Ava kept slinging mud at you, but Mr. Colt didn’t bat an eye. He was instead singing your praises, even hinted at promoting you to be the head of the sales team!” “What did you say?” Jane’s eyes popped open, then a wave of confusion washed over her. As a mere sales associate, she barely rubbed shoulders with high-level executives like Ben, let alone understand his character. However, the company seniors often mentioned that Mr. Colt was a well-cultured man, he didn’t put on airs and was easy to get along with. He didn’t play favorites, not even with Ava. “Maybe Mr. Colt is all about meritocracy, rather than nepotism? Kate speculated, giving her a look, “Two veterans of the sales department have left, taking a chunk of clients with them. The company is in dire need of manpower… Jane, this could indeed be a golden opportunity for you!” Jane bit her lip, falling into silence. She remembered a piece of advice from Dan, “If you’re unsure about a situation or a person, try stepping into their shoes to get a clearer picture.” “Kate,” Jane’s voice was barely above a whisper, “If you were a major shareholder and your niece had been attacked by an employee, would you promote that employee regardless of the past?”

“If that employee was extremely competent, would you consider her as your niece’s ally or adversary?” OM
