?Chapter 342:


    With her arms crossed and a fiery tone, Kaya eximed, “I already warned you this project had quality issues! Why did you sign off on it? Charlette, do you think our auditing department is just for decoration?”


    Kaya’s bold red dress andmanding figure caught everyone’s attention.


    Wesley was widely admired at Edgewing, and Kaya was his most vocal admirer.


    Whenever Wesley visited thepany, Kaya always found a reason to meet with him.


    Charlette, Wesley’s most trusted aide at Edgewing, was often seen by Kaya as a rival. At Edgewing, Charlette managed research while Kaya oversaw auditing. Kaya frequently tried to undermine Charlette, but Charlette generally ignored her efforts.


    When Kaya confronted her, Charlette responded calmly, “I have presented this project to Mr. Spencer, and he has approved it.”


    “Don’t try to intimidate me with Mr. Spencer!” Kaya snapped, her temper ring even more at the mention of Wesley’s name.


    Charlette gave a slight smirk. “If you have concerns, you might want to discuss them with Mr. Spencer.”


    Fuming, Kaya shot Charlette a scornful re. What a bitch! Just using Wesley’s trust to get close to him. But he would tire of her eventually. She wouldn’t be around for long.


    With that, Kaya stormed out of the office.


    That morning, Elena finished reviewing all the documents Charlette had provided. She nced at the clock—it was already noon, time for lunch.


    Her eyes shifted across the room to Wesley, who was calmly going through paperwork, his expression unreadable. He seemed to have no ns for lunch.


    Elena stood and left her seat, nning to dine at the mall across from the office. Unexpectedly, she ran into Charlette in the elevator.


    Seeing Elena alone, Charlette asked, “Miss Harper, aren’t you waiting to have lunch with Mr. Spencer?”


    Elena replied, “He’s still busy working.”


    At that moment, Wesley remained in the office, hoping Elena would return so they could have lunch together.


    Charlette nodded in understanding. She knew when Wesley was focused, he should not be disturbed. She then suggested, “I’m heading down to the cafeteria for lunch. Would you like to join me?”


    g?lnσν????s is where dreams unfold


    Elena considered briefly, then agreed, “Sure.”


    The Edgewing cafeteria offered a variety of options, resembling a high-end food court. It featured not only traditional dishes but over a dozen different cuisines.


    Charlette chose steak, while Elena opted for a sd.


    As they settled down to eat, a mocking voice interrupted them.


    Kaya scoffed, “Charlette, aren’t you aware of thepany policies? Inviting outsiders for a free meal—how broke are you that you can’t even afford lunch?”


    Since Elena worked on the eighth floor, Kaya hadn’t seen her before and assumed she was an outsider.


    Spotting an opportunity to embarrass Charlette, Kaya quickly seized it. With a voice full of scorn, she called out, “Security, isn’t it against the rules to let outsiders into thepany cafeteria? Shouldn’t you be escorting this woman out?”
