Chapter 18 Excited

When Lyla arrived at her work place, she quickly became the receiving end of praise and awe. She only had a change of clothes, though.

“Lyla, you’re looking very pretty today!” Lily immediately offered her praise the moment she saw Lyla.

“Come on. I just had a change of clothes. I know I usually wear black, white, or gray,” Lyla refuted bashfully.

“Lyla, you add excitement by being in the Department of Design!” cried another male colleague.

“Hah! With such a beauty here, we won’t feel tired of work!” cried another male colleague.

The crowd immediately laughed.

Suddenly, everyone just stopped talking. Lyla could feel a cold stare coming from the front.

She raised her head and saw a stare filled with animosity directed towards her.

‘Isn’t that President Pattinson’s girlfriend?

‘So she’s working in the company as well? And she’s even my superior?’

Kathleen Turner knocked the table and asked, “Why is everyone not working? Are you all so free?”

Everyone’s head immediately lowered. They hurried into returning to their work.

Kathleen came before Lyla and said, “Miss Lowe, you don’t compete with your looks in our office, you compete with your ability to work.”

“Well, in my opinion, there’s no conflict between the two,” Lyla said slowly, “While working hard, isn’t it better for everyone to have something nice to look at?”

The look on Kathleen's face changed. “In that case, since you’re so free, you will be in charge of these designing projects! Submit them to me before the day ends!”

She then dumped everything she had to Lyla before leaving arrogantly with a huff.

As she watched Kathleen Turner walk away, Lyla frowned.

Why did Kathleen Turner always regard her with hostility every time they met? Speaking of which, had she even done anything to anger her?

“Hmph! Lyla, she’s just jealous because you’re much better looking than her! That’s why she’s always hostile towards you!” Lily whispered.
