Chapter 240: Chapter 240: Sense of Crisis
Cindy had been on edge all afternoon.
As soon as it was time to knock off, she immediately contacted Evelyn Curtis.
After getting the other party’s consent, she hurried over to the hotel the production team had arranged for Evelyn Curtis without stopping for a breath.
"Evelyn, what the hell is going on with this Charlotte Thompson."
As soon as Cindy entered the door and barely touched the sofa, she cut right to the chase.
She couldn’t directly confront Charlotte, any rash actions would only harm her own interests, so now she could only come to Evelyn to ask for advice.
The two of them actually had a good relationship behind the scenes, Evelyn Curtis often asked her for information, bought her things, or invited her to eat, and would ask her for help with some things.
In short, the two of them were in the same boat.
Evelyn Curtis’s support had played a significant role in Cindy becoming the Chief Design Director.
It was the mutual understanding between two shrewd people.
Considering this relationship of indebtedness, Cindy was willing to become Evelyn’s inside informant at Vanguard Jewelry, keeping her updated at all times.
It was due to this that Evelyn Curtis was able to know of Charlotte Thompson’s activities within the company.
Sensing the severity of the matter from Cindy’s tone, Evelyn stopped swiping her phone.
"What happened?" Going around the topic, Evelyn superimposed another question.
She was unaware of the true extent of the situation and was only interested in knowing what specifically Charlotte had done to unsettle Cindy to such an extent.
Perhaps this was the woman’s sixth sense at work.
At this moment, Evelyn’s unease spread throughout her body, eager to find a breakthrough.
"She parachuted into the company and has been hogging all the limelight, but I’m not allowed to discipline a small assistant of hers? I’m a level above her in rank!"
"I only said a few words, and that pretentious bitch couldn’t take it and wanted to confront me. Also..."
While speaking, Cindy paused, raising her eyelids to observe the expression on Evelyn Curtis’s face.
The relationship between Justin and Evelyn Curtis was an open secret, and she didn’t know whether she should say anything.
Evelyn naturally perceived this.
"What else?"
"She...she actually got Mr. Battleson involved, and he stood up for her, making me apologize to her, it’s all so humiliating."
As Cindy spoke, the scene from the office today filled her mind once more, the flame in her eyes about to burst forth.
In her many years of work, she had never suffered such humiliation.
After listening to Cindy, Evelyn Curtis’s hand involuntarily paused, her heartbeat skipping a beat.
She felt an emptiness inside, a sudden wave of discomfort.
Justin Battleson rarely meddled in the affairs of company employees - even Evelyn knew this.
But now, on account of Charlotte, he’d personally made Cindy apologize to her?
This starkly contrasted with his previous behavior, illuminating just how much he cared for Charlotte.
In contrast, his treatment of her was like night and day.
He was always dismissive of Evelyn Curtis.
A sense of crisis began to expand in Evelyn’s heart.
Charlotte Thompson!
She was the biggest threat and must be dealt with somehow.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to sleep peacefully.
Evelyn pursed her lips tightly, the cold light in her eyes fixed on the clean carpet.
Silent for a few seconds, she suppressed all her emotions.
"I see. I’ll figure something out."
Evelyn’s tone was strangely calm.
But she couldn’t conceal her restlessness as she scratched her head, exposing her disheveled hair in the process. Clearly, she wasn’t as calm as she seemed.
She hadn’t tidied up properly for a few days and after scratching her head, her hair had become a complete mess.
"You can go back first, I have a schedule."
With the hint to leave given, Cindy tactfully excused herself.
Once the hotel room door was closed, Evelyn Curtis finally let out a sigh of relief.
She wouldn’t tell Cindy that she too had no idea how to deal with Charlotte Thompson and that Justin Battleson hadn’t been looking after her lately.
