Gia was at a loss for words. It was true that Abigail hadn’t specified the type of event with Sam in attendance, and
Gia had assumed it was a banquet. She had even spent all her savings on her dress!
Abigail sarcastically mocked, “Ha! Ms. Chapman, it’s not your understanding that’s the problem, but rather…”
She pointed at Gia’s chest. “It’s your mindset! Did you really think you could outshine everyone dressing like this
when I invited you to an event today?”
Gia’s face turned pale, and she trembled as she clenched the hem of her skirt.
Meanwhile, Sam, who was nearby, witnessed the scene and shook his head with a frown.
“Ms. Jenner, can you please explain what’s happening here?” He communicated with Lina in limited English. “Does
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyour company, the Thompson Group, have such an unprofessional employee who comes to a construction site
without wearing a safety helmet!?”
“I’m sorry.” Lina smiled, enunciating her words clearly. “She’s not a member of the Thompson Group.”
“What?” Gia was shocked and hurriedly ran over, lifting her dress.
The hem of her expensive dress was stained with dirty mud, losing its appearance as a top international brand.
“Lina!” Gia called out, then she remembered Renee’s warning and struggled to choose her words carefully. “Ms…
Ms. Jenner.”
“What’s the matter?” Lina’s smile was mysterious.
“I am with the Thompson Group!” Gia grew anxious. “I have been working as an assistant for Abigail recently…
Didn’t you say it yourself? I am still considered an employee of the Thompson Group!”
“Oh.” Lina’s beautiful eyes sparkled. “You’re with the Thompson Group? Well, what position do you hold in
Thompson Group?”
“I… I am an intern at the Thompson Group!”
“Have you read the company’s rules and regulations?”
Gia stood frozen, unable to speak.
“According to the company’s regulations, if an intern fails to meet the employment requirements, the company has
the right to terminate the intern’s contract at any time.”
“Lina—”
“Apologies.” Lina chuckled lightly. “You still have a long way to go to meet the company’s requirements. I hope you
can improve in the future and find a better place for your internship. When you return, go to the finance

Gia felt a lump in her throat. Despite her anger, she put on a pitiful expression, hoping to appeal to Lina’s
sentimental side.
Lina appeared indifferent on the surface, maintaining her expression, but her heart was in turmoil. How many times
had Gia plotted against her? How many times had she been bullied and made a fool of?
The instances were too numerous to count. Every time Lina thought about it, anger surged within her.
“Lina…” Gia’s voice sounded tearful, and she tugged at Lina’s sleeve. “Lina, didn’t you say I could intern here and
leave once I obtained the internship certification… Are you going back on your word now?”
“Going back on my word? That’s a stretch.” Lina coldly looked at Gia. “I am simply following the rules!”
