“I thought I would be here, so I had prepared presents. Please take one, Ms. Giles.”
“I love thoughtful people like you!” Nancy toyed with the brooch and said, “Thanks.”
Madison proceeded to hand the presents to the others. They knew she was somehow related to Hunter, so they didn’t dare to refuse.
Madison stopped before Grace. She noticed that Grace had been working the whole time she was there. She didn’t even spare a look at her.
Grace didn’t react even when Madison placed the present on her table.
“Ms. Engel, this is for you.”
Grace raised her head and adjusted her glasses. She said sternly, “Did you join the company to do pointless things like this?”
“Madison, don’t mind her. That’s just how she is. You don’t have to give her a present if she doesn’t want it.”
Nancy winked at Madison and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll hand over the strategy chart to Mr. Ingram personally.”
“Okay, thanks. I’ll not disturb you guys anymore.” Madison stole a glance at Grace.
Grace had gotten back to work. It was as if she only cared about working.
Grace and Nancy were polar opposites. Madison wondered which one of them was the suspicious one.
Madison believed that the spy could not hide forever. The truth would definitely come out.
Even if she didn’t make a move, the spy might not be able to remain in the dark.
She had embedded tracking devices into the brooches. So she was one step ahead of the spy this time.
Madison was deep in thought.
She didn’t think that there would be anyone walking around on the top floor. She walked right into another person.
A familiar voice came above her head. “You’re an adult, right? Why aren’t you watching where you’re going?”
Madison quickly moved away from him. She thought Hunter was in his office. She didn’t expect him to sneak out.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Williams. I’ll be going now.”
She almost didn’t even look in Hunter’s direction.
She lowered her head, apologized, and scuttled away. She was afraid that Hunter might ask her to stay.
Madison quickly got to the elevator. As the doors opened, Brent and Kelvin came out of the elevator.
Madison suddenly thought about how Norma described Brent as the guardian of hell. She instantly had the image of the two of them as hellish soldiers. She thought the look suited them.
She covered a smile as she entered the elevator.
Hunter saw that smile. He hadn’t contacted Madison for the past two days. And she stayed away, too.
It was as if she was trying to sever ties completely.
He noticed her coming up from the security cameras and was waiting in the corridor for an “unexpected” encounter.
It angered him to see her smile when she saw Brent and Kelvin. She ran away like she saw a ghost when she ran into him.
Hunter said with a dark expression, “Find out why she was up here.”
“Yes, Mr. Williams.”
Brent had the answer very quickly. He handed Hunter the strategy chart.
Hunter took a glance at it and dropped it. “What kind of trash is this? Get me the person in charge.”
The file fell onto the table with a loud bang. The sound caused the cleaner who was wiping the shelves to jump in surprise.
Everyone stopped talking after Madison went back to team C.
Norma smiled brightly and said, “Thank you so much, Madison.”
“No problem, it wasn’t that hard.”
After a while, Sophia came storming out. “Who handed in the strategy chart?”
Before Madison could speak, Norma realized something was wrong and immediately shifted the blame.
She said, “It was Madison. She insisted on going to the secretary’s office to show her face. What’s wrong? Ms. Linden?”
Sophia glared at Madison and said, “What did you say to Mr. Williams? Why is he so angry? Now he wants to question me!”
The matter blew up. Normally, Hunter would be communicating with the sales director if he had a problem. He wouldn’t usually call for a team leader.
Norma’s bubbly demeanor quickly turned sour.
“Madison, I’ve said it before. You have limited experience. Since you joined Team C, you should focus on learning.
“Instead, your mind seems to be filled with all sorts of nonsense. Did you make Mr. Williams angry?
“Did you think you could do whatever you wanted because you had the looks? Who do you think Mr. Williams is? Do you know what happened to the last employee that tried to seduce him?”
Madison felt that she had been unlucky lately. Nothing was going her way.
She went to the secretary’s office once. The colleague who was all cordial before was already reprimanding her.
The words that came out of her mouth were so unpleasant.
Madison said calmly, “I didn’t get to meet Mr. Williams. I just submitted the strategy chart to the secretary’s office.
I don’t know how I could’ve angered Mr. Williams.”
“Nothing like this ever happened when we handed in the strategy charts. Why did something happen as soon as you did it? Stop pretending. You’re the one to blame for this.”
“That’s right, you should bring her along, Ms. Linden.”
The others began chipping in. They wanted to pin everything on Madison.
Madison finally understood what it meant to be in the rat race.
Madison followed beside Sophia.
Sophia said with a gloomy expression, “Madison, you are on a three-month probation. You know what you need to do for me to pass you?”
Madison knew. Sophia wanted her to take the fall. Did she think Hunter was stupid?
Madison said with a cold smile, “Understood, Ms. Linden.”
The elevator doors opened. Sophia immediately bowed when she saw Brent. “Nice to see you, Mr. Ingram.”
She noticed that Madison only nodded her head. She patted Madison’s back to signal her to bow as well.
Brent quickly said, “Stop wasting your time. Mr. Williams is waiting for you.”
A hint of nervousness crossed Sophia’s face. “Mr. Ingram, can you please let us know what’s going on? About Mr. Williams…”
“You’ll find out when you go in.” Brent kept up his cold demeanor.
He stood at the door and said, “We’re here.”
Sophia felt weak in the knees. This was her first time at the CEO’s office.
Brent opened the door, and he said, “Mr. Williams, they’re here.”
He then turned and left.
Sophia’s legs were trembling. She began to walk stiffly.
Madison almost burst out laughing. All traces of the arrogance that Sophia had moments ago vanished.
“M-Mr. Williams, you asked for me?” Sophia was so nervous she could barely even manage to utter a complete sentence.
Madison’s eyes fell on the cleaner in the corner, who was cleaning the bookshelves.
Cleaners usually have fixed working hours in the morning or at night.
They don’t usually work while the boss is in the office.
She wondered why Hunter would allow someone to clean the office while he was still there. He was a man who was very concerned with his privacy, after all.
She observed the cleaner.
The cleaner had a hunched back and a bony physique. The exposed skin was tanned.
The cleaner’s head was lowered so Madison couldn’t see the face.
An ashtray landed beside Madison’s feet with a loud sound. It shocked her.
Sophia was so frightened that her knees gave way, and she dropped to the floor.
Hunter looked at Madison and asked, “What’s so interesting that you had to stare?”
Madison snapped back to reality. Hunter threw the strategy chart before Sophia.
“Is this the strategy your team came up with? A monkey can do better than that!” Hunter didn’t pull any punches when it came to insults.
This was the first time Madison had seen Hunter at work. She realized that she wasn’t the only person that he treated badly.
Sophia was scared out of her mind. She anxiously said, “Please don’t be angry, Mr. Williams. This proposal is … Madison, you say it.”
She looked back at Madison and saw that she had no fear in her eyes. Even her back was straight.
Madison’s eyes were also calmly meeting with Hunter’s
