NovelStartListening in on Fiona’s phone call with Joshua, Luna understood why Arianna would be burned.
Obviously, Zayne must have disobeyed her and secretly discussed his plan of chasing Fiona away with
Arianna and Samson. However, their discussion was overheard by Fiona.
Samson and Zayne were both men, taking action against them would be difficult, even if she did, the
effect would not be obvious.
But Arianna was different.
Arianna was the only girl amongst the three of them and both Zayne and Samson had a small crush on
her. Targeting Arianna would hurt all three of them. Hitting where it hurts most. Fiona was much
smarter than she imagined.
Within three minutes after Fiona ended the call, the door to the design department was pushed open.
Joshua walked in anxiously, strode toward Fiona and studied her carefully from head to toe. After
ensuring only her chest area had been splashed with the hot coffee, he heaved a slight sigh of relief,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthen raised his eyes and glanced at her. “What actually happened?“
Fiona bit her lip, glanced at Luna carefully, then said in a stutter, “Maybe…maybe people don’t like me.
I just reported for work at the design department for less than a day, and already Ms. Luna’s three
assistants hate me so much that they secretly
discussed how to chase me out of the company… I know I can’t do much, I’m only here on your
authority, Joshua, that’s why I wanted to do something for my colleagues, so they won’ t think I came
here during my time away.”
She sniffed as she spoke, sounding slightly nasally. ” I was sending Shannon’s coffee to her just now.
Maybe I was too nervous, I was shocked by the noise Arianna made, so I lost my grip and all the coffee
splashed out… ” She lowered her head, her voice full of despair. ”I really can’t do anything well… ”
Fiona’s words lifted the blame from Arianna entirely.
Beside them, a female colleague could not take it anymore. She stood up with a scrap of her chair.
”Ms. Blake, as the President’s girlfriend, I know you don’t want to cause trouble and make things
difficult for him. But even so, you can’t take the entire blame for the incident yourself ! It was obvious
Arianna purposely made that sound when you were passing by to scare you, how can you say you lost
your grip because you were griping?”
Once she spoke, another male colleague hastily voiced his agreement. ”Exactly ! I was busy drafting
my design when the sound Arianna made was so loud that she interrupted my train of thought too! She
did it on purpose! “
Joshua narrowed his eyes slightly.
Fiona’s complexion turned pale as a ghost. ”What nonsense ! ” Then, she hurriedly held his hand. ”
Joshua, don’t listen to their nonsense. It really is my own fault. Besides, look, only so little coffee
splashed onto me whereas most of it was splashed onto Arianna. She was quite severely injured too,
she couldn’t have done it on purpose…“
With her words, the pair that spoke up for Fiona revered her even more for her kind and gentle soul. “
Arianna deserved it!“
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Ms. Blake, why are you so kind, why are you still speaking up for Arianna?“
“The three of them are already devising a plan to chase you out of the company and yet you’re still
standing on their side…“
Their words made Joshua’s eyebrows screw together tightly. He narrowed his eyes and glanced at
Luna; his voice ice-cold. “Is it true?“
“No, Joshua.“
Fiona bit her lip and unconsciously tugged at the edge of his shirt. “Don’t argue with Ms. Luna because
of me. It’s not worth it.“
“Why not?“ At Fiona’s words, Joshua’s voice chilled instantly. “Do you know how important you are to
me right now! “
Luckily only a little coffee was splashed onto her, there were no large-scale burns. Her health was
already in a poor condition. She had been suffering from various illnesses for many years, and the
doctor said that she only had one year left to live.
She made a very dangerous decision in deciding to donate her bone marrow to Nigel. Her body must
be in perfect condition before the transplant could take place.
