Chapter 25 Why Don’t You Fight Back
This knee-length, red, long-sleeved dress she was wearing was one she had spent nearly two thousand dollars on.
It was nowhere near the extravagance of the gown, but she asked herself if it wasn’t too bad, and she didn’t have any problems with the middle of the road.
“Of course it’s not right!” The secretary who spoke skimmed her mouth, her tone was conspiratorial, “Ordinary employees are fine, but as President Lane’s secretary, you represent the company’s image, attending the welcome party dressed like this is not only a disgrace to us secretaries, but also a disgrace to President Lane and the company do you know that?”
“Shame on you?” Christine White pursed her lips, “I don’t think I’m ashamed, it’s you guys …”
Her gaze fell on the career lines on the chests of the three members of the secretarial team, and she was quite speechless.
These three, they are really dressed up in a glamorous way.
“Christine White, what are you looking at?” The secretary who spoke covered her chest and glared at Christine White in displeasure.
Christine White retracted her gaze and smiled slightly, “I remember President Lane said the day he first arrived at the company that female employees were not allowed to dress too revealingly, so aren’t you guys blatantly disobeying President Lane’s order now?”
Hearing this, all three of their faces stiffened.
Christine White patted the sleeves that had just been torn and wrinkled, and then continued, “You guys also said just now that secretaries represent the company’s image, and with you guys dressed in such a revealing way, how will other people look at it? Will you think that our company’s image is vulgar?”
“Christine White, how dare you talk to us like that?”
“It was the seniors who came after me first.”
“You …”
The three members of the secretarial team were infuriated, not realizing that the little white rabbit that had always let them bully them would actually bite.
“Christine White, you’re really something!” The speaking secretary’s eyes narrowed dangerously and suddenly raised the red wine in her hand to splash it towards Christine White.
Christine White’s pupils shrunk slightly, dodging too late was splashed, the dress on the body wet a large area, cold, sticking to the body is very difficult.
“You guys are too much!” She bit her lip and glared at them angrily.
“Excessive?” The secretary who spoke handed the empty glass to the person beside her, then wrapped her arms around her and looked at Christine White with a smirk, “Who told you to piss us off, we’ve got more over the top than you’ve ever seen.”
Christine White clenched her palms, “I haven’t offended you guys, have I?”
“Who said you didn’t?” The face of the secretary who spoke was instantly distorted, all things evil, “From the day you became a secretary, you’ve already offended us, why should you, an ordinary university out, be on equal footing with us?”
Turns out it was because of jealousy!
Christine White tugged at the hem of her wet skirt and said in a nonchalant manner, “That’s something you should ask President Lane, what’s the point of telling me!”
And she wondered why Baird Lane had handpicked her to be his secretary.
The only thing she was sure of, anyway, was definitely not for the reason that she was his wife.
“Who knows if you used some shady tactics to get President Lane to do that.” The secretary who spoke sneered.
Christine White took a deep breath and held back her anger, “I don’t care about you guys, get out of the way, I need to go to the restroom.”
She pushed the people in front of her vigorously and walked away from them.
The speaking secretary was pushed with a hesitation and almost fell, stabilizing her stance she stomped her feet in anger, “Damn it, how dare you push me! See if I don’t clean her up, let’s go, let’s go over there!”
The three followed in the direction Christine White had left.
Ives Norton came out of the shadows with his cell phone, his glasses still reflecting the light, “Interesting shot, I wonder how Baird will react when he sees it, kind of looking forward to it!”
At the thought, he gave a couple of playful chuckles and headed for the lounge.
“Baird,” Ives Norton yelled, waving his cell phone as soon as he entered, “guess what I just saw?”
Baird Lane glanced up at him faintly, “Not interested.”
Ives Norton pretended not to hear his remark and said to himself, “I saw your wife being bullied.”
“Christine White?” asked Baird Lane, his eyes twitching slightly.
“If not her who, is there someone else in your wife?” Ives Norton stared in mock surprise.
Baird Lane ignored his juggling, his brow furrowed and his voice sank, “Did you just say she was being bullied?”
“I thought you weren’t interested?” Ives Norton picked up an apple and nibbled on it, watching him with interest.
Baird Lane’s cold face darkened instantly, and a chill overflowed around him.
“Stop stop stop!” Knowing he was pissed, Ives Norton hurriedly put the apple down, pulled his cell phone out and tapped it a few times, handing it over to him, “You’ll see when you read this”
Baird Lane took the phone and looked at it suspiciously, seeing that at the end his thin lips almost pursed into a straight line, and the coldness in his eyes was like a layer of ice.
These women, how dare they!
Baird Lane clenched his fists, “Gates!”
Assistant Gates rushed in through the door.
“Go and bring up those gift boxes from my car.” Baird Lane got up and ordered.
“Okay.” Assistant Gates hurriedly did as he was told.
Baird Lane tossed his cell phone to Ives Norton and lifted his leg toward the door.
Ives Norton called out to him, “Baird are you going to be a hero?”
Baird Lane paused slightly in his stride, “She is, at least, my wife.”
“Seems like you care about her quite a bit.” Ives Norton stroked his chin as the words came out.
“You think too much!” Baird Lane’s eyes sank as he withdrew his gaze and headed out the door.
How could he care about that Christine White woman.
Ives Norton clicked off another bite of his apple and chuckled softly to himself, “Am I overthinking this, or are you just refusing to admit it …”
Baird Lane had just arrived outside the restroom to the sight of Christine White being grabbed by the hair, ready to be slapped.
His heart tightened and his expression instantly became very ugly as he yelled lowly, “What are you doing?”
When they heard his voice, the people in the room suddenly turned pale with fear.
” President Lane …”
What’s he doing here?
Christine White blinked in surprise.
Baird Lane walked over to her with a dark look, his dark gaze quickly glancing over her.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
Seeing that she had no signs of injury other than being in a bit of a mess, her taut face loosened up a bit before turning her attention to the three women who were trembling in fear, “Say, what were you guys doing just now?”
He asked again.
The three women looked at each other and stammered for words.
“Don’t say it, do you?” Baird Lane narrowed his eyes coldly, “Say it or go back and write your resignation, I can’t afford secretaries like you.”
Upon hearing that they were going to be fired, the trio of secretaries panicked and scrambled to speak, “President Lane, we say, we say …”
“Late.” Baird Lane interrupted them impatiently, “Now get out of here right now and don’t make me say it again!”
The three of them trembled and immediately ran away in ashes.
Christine White all but froze in her tracks, half swallowing back her breath as she cautiously asked, “Baird, are you really going to fire them?”
“I don’t need a secretary with a shady mind like that.” Baird Lane pursed his thin lips, a thin hint of displeasure in his voice, “You, on the other hand, why don’t you resist?”
If he had come a step later, that slap would have definitely landed.
Christine White straightened her somewhat messy hair, her face bitter, “I’m alone, how can I fight the three of them, it’s better to do more than less.”
“That’s quite a thought for you!” Baird Lane mocked lightly.
Christine White tugged at the corner of her mouth and didn’t answer.
What if I don’t want to drive?
She was all alone and had no one to help her, so a lot of the time she just had to put up with it.
“You’re coming with me.” Baird Lane spoke suddenly.
“Go where?” Christine White looked at him quizzically.
