Matthew’s junior!
Clarissa flashed the secretary a smile and said, “Understood. Thank you.”
The secretary smiled back and added, “You’re welcome, Ms. Quigley. Ms. Watson seldom comes to our country. However, whenever the president visits our branch in Moranta, Ms. Watson would accompany him throughout his trip.”
Well, there are a lot of connotations in her explanation.
Clarissa smiled wryly at her in response.
The secretary didn’t dwell on it further and left the floor to return to her office.
Then, Clarissa stood and leaned against the wall. She was a little absent-minded even though she was playing mobile games.
Although Michelle had gone in for quite some time, Clarissa wasn’t worried because there were other staff in the same room.
As such, she didn’t want to go back to the president’s office. After playing some mobile games for a while, she decided to visit her studio downstairs.
Nevertheless, since everyone in the studio was busy, she felt a little inappropriate to chat with someone there.
Out of boredom, she went into the elevator and arrived at the ground floor. After strolling around for a while, she decided to go upstairs again.
It was easy for her to meet some familiar faces since she wandered around the building of Tyson Corporation.
As soon as Clarissa arrived at the elevator, Ms. Joyce and Amanda, whom she knew when she worked there, blocked her way.
They were surprised to see Clarissa here.
Amanda glanced at Clarissa for a second and screamed all of a sudden, “Clarissa, why are you here? Who let you in? You’ve been fired. Why do you show up here? Are you a corporate spy?”
Obviously, Amanda wanted to look for trouble from Clarissa.
Clarissa rolled her eyes secretly.
Amanda probably wants everyone to hear that she is confronting me aggressively.
On the other hand, Ms. Joyce furrowed her eyes, apparently dissatisfied with the way Amanda behaved.
“Amanda, this is not a private area. Don’t talk nonsense!”
“Ms. Joyce, I’m not talking nonsense. Although other companies rent offices in the building of Tyson Corporation, we almost know everyone who works here. So, Clarissa shouldn’t be here for no reason.”
Once she finished, Clarissa snickered, “Do I have to get your approval to show up here?”
“What do you mean? You don’t need my approval, but do you have an access card?”
Clarissa was stunned because she didn’t have the so-called access card. To be exact, she had never heard of such a thing before.
Feeling that she had the goods on Clarissa, Amanda grabbed her arm tightly and refused to let her go.
Furthermore, she asked someone to get the security guards.
“Get the security guards. I have reasons to believe that she’s a corporate spy. Be quick!”
Clarissa loathed Amanda’s smug face. Although she was unsure what Amanda wanted to do next, but one thing was certain—Amanda wanted to create trouble for her.
Clarissa tried to wriggle free, but Amanda kept grabbing and pulling her clothes forcefully. Much of her fair-skinned neck was revealed as Amanda kept pulling her collar. At the same time, many people were shocked to see that, particularly men who came over. Fortunately, most of them immediately averted their gaze to avoid staring at her body.
“Let go of me!” Amanda stopped once Clarissa gave her a stern warning.
However, she quickly looked at Clarissa with disdain.
“Clarissa, since you’re already here, I won’t let you run away easily. Fortunately, we bumped into you today. Otherwise, we won’t even know who the culprit is when something happens to the company. Since we’ve caught you in the act, you should admit your wrongdoing now. Don’t think that you can do whatever you want just because you’re pretty enough to seduce some wealthy men. No one can save you today unless you can get your sugar daddy here…”
Clarissa couldn’t understand why Amanda kept slandering her.
In fact, Amanda had always found fault with her since the time she worked at Tyson Corporation. Now that she had left the company, Amanda still wanted to grab the opportunity to cause her trouble.
Clarissa glanced at Amanda with her sharp gaze as she was thinking that it could be interesting to analyze Amanda’s intention.
“What are you looking at? Well, you can’t reveal your sugar daddy, can you? He can buy you a lot of branded stuff and even a luxury car, but why can’t he come to your rescue?”
Suddenly, Clarissa chuckled. “Do you want to meet my sugar daddy?”
Amanda’s eyes glimmered instantly. “Just as I’ve said, you have a sugar daddy…”
“What’s going on?”
The security guards arrived after someone requested their help to come over.
Meanwhile, Clarissa didn’t utter a word nor stop Amanda from hurling baseless accusations against her.
As Amanda immersed herself in the excitement, a few ex-colleagues who knew Clarissa couldn’t help but speak for Clarissa.
“Why are you guys speaking for her? I mean, Clarissa admitted it herself. Don’t be a busybody. She might be hot, but the fact is she is merely a lowly b*tch.”
Slap!
Everyone around was stunned when Clarissa gave Amanda a forceful slap.
No one thought that Clarissa would hit her when she was still talking.
After a moment of silence, Amanda shrieked while covering her face. “Ah! Why are you guys standing still? Come and restrain her!”
Upon her instruction, the security guards wanted to restrain Clarissa.
However, the security guards stopped moving once Clarissa gave them a cold-eyed stare.
The overbearing pressure exuded from her stunned everyone.
How could her aura possibly daunt everyone in the lobby?
A moment later, Clarissa snickered, “Who is the bi*ch calling? Can you say it once more time?”
“She is calling you.”
That was a very common prank but very effective in deceiving people.
Hence, Amanda was pranked because she impatiently wanted to scold Clarissa.
Clarissa flashed her a satisfactory smile and said, “Yes, you’re right.”
“You…”
Now, Amanda just realized that she had been tricked and even got a slap from Clarissa. I am not going to let the matter go!
Although her colleagues and the security guards were around, Amanda frantically sprang upon Clarissa and lifted her hand to slap her. Judging from her ferocious gaze, it was obvious that she wouldn’t stop with just a slap.
However, Clarissa didn’t allow her to do it so she quickly dodged her attack.
Amanda didn’t want to let go and continued chasing her like a crazy woman. Hence, Clarissa kept running around to avoid her. Eventually, it looked like a total farce as Amanda chased Clarissa while screaming and cursing her.
Meanwhile, everyone around was shocked by the dramatic turn of events. Finally, the farce halted once Mr. Cooper bellowed, “What’s going on? What are you guys doing?”
As the crowd quickly dispersed, only the security guards and the two women were left.
Mr. Cooper came up to them and glared at everyone. However, his heart skipped a beat when he saw Clarissa.
“Clarissa?”
Clarissa nodded and said, “Mr. Cooper, I’m sorry to disturb you.”
He felt that his temple started to throb. Even though he didn’t see Clarissa on the top floor, he had heard the rumors.
After a while, he shifted his gaze from Clarissa to Amanda. Amanda looked terrible as she kept glaring at Clarissa.
“All of you, come with me.”
Mr. Cooper brought them to his office so that they wouldn’t make a fool of themselves in public.
Once they arrived, Amanda leveled accusations at Clarissa without giving her a chance to defend herself.
After listening to Amanda’s claim that Clarissa was a spy, he felt like killing the stupid woman on the spot.
On the other hand, Clarissa didn’t utter a word. She believed that apart from Amanda, anyone who held important positions wouldn’t believe her nonsense.
Suddenly, Clarissa’s phone rang when Amanda was still persuading Mr. Cooper against letting her go.
She answered the incoming call.
“Yes, I haven’t left… I fought with someone and I’m now at the fifth floor… Are you coming here? Please don’t do that because your presence will daunt everyone…”
The man who spoke over the phone hung up before she could finish.
Clarissa let out a wry smile. Deep in her heart, she didn’t really intend to stop him from coming over.
Meanwhile, Mr. Cooper’s heart skipped a beat as he seemed to have imagined what would happen next.
Back then, when Clarissa first came as an intern in his department, he already felt that someone was backing her. After all, she was specially assigned by the Human Resource Department, and those from the top floor specifically asked for her to send some documents over a few times.
He wasn’t sure who she was back then. However, now that the news about the president’s wedding had spread like wildfire, he believed that Clarissa was the female protagonist.
If that is true, how could my stupid subordinate restrain her and even fight with her here?
Mr. Cooper felt that his future in the company was about to come to an end.
What a tragedy!
Unfortunately, Amanda was still immersed in showcasing her foolishness.
“Hehe… Clarissa, is your sugar daddy finally showing up? Do you think we will be afraid of him? Hahaha… I really wish to see how terrible he looks. Would he be an old man who has already passed his fifties? Hahaha…”
Bang!
Suddenly, someone kicked the door of Mr. Cooper’s office from the outside.
Amanda immediately stopped laughing when she realized that it was the president. The man, whom she could never lay her fingers on, came up to Clarissa and comforted her.
“Clare, what happened? Are you injured? Humph! I want to know who has the nerve to lay fingers on you!”
While holding in his anger, Matthew caressed her while nervously checked if she was injured.
Clarissa shook her head in response and gently removed his hand from her body. Then, she flashed him a smile and explained, “I’m fine. I slapped her in the face, but I’m alright.”
“Are you sure you’re alright?”
“Yup, I’m sure. However, why didn’t I know that I need an access card to enter this building? I mean, I was being seen as a corporate spy because of it.”
Once she finished, he knitted his brows and gave a cold-eyed stare at everyone in the room. A moment later, he replied to her gently, “You don’t need one.”
She added smilingly, “Alright, in that case, you should explain to Mr. Cooper, the security guards, and my ex-colleague Amanda. Hehe… she’s really concerned about whether I’m a corporate spy as she fears that I might destroy Tyson Corporation. Shouldn’t you compliment her for always prioritizing the company?”
At this time, everyone was worried about what would happen next. Mr. Cooper quietly cursed Amanda for creating trouble, while Amanda was completely terrified.
