Chapter 52 Angela's carefully made-up face darkened in an instant. Could it be that, simply because Khloe wasn't present, the client didn't even bother to meet with her? "Khloe is on leave. I'm also a manager at the Fox Group, and I can handle this project. If your company doubts my abilities, you can review my proposal," Angela said. Before Trey could speak, Angela had already grown restless. She slid the document she had stayed up all night preparing toward the assistant. The young man hesitated for a moment but accepted it out of politeness. Angela's confidence radiated.
Once they saw her work, they would regret dismissing her so lightly. Trey added, "Our team has many capable employees-not just Khloe. Please convey to Mr. Cameron that the trust he places in our company will not be betrayed." The assistant nodded, giving a slight bow. "Understood. Please wait a moment; I'll relay this immediately." Once he stepped out, Angela slumped back into her chair, frustration written across her features. "They only want to work with Khloe?
Do they really pick partners based solely on which employee is present?" Angela had no illusions about Khloe's skills being unparalleled. "Khloe is talented, for sure. Even with similar data, when she handles a project, it somehow always turns a profit, "Trey said calmly. "But a company's success comes from every department working together. How can it be pinned on Khloe alone?" Angela's voice carried sharp disbelief. "Mr. Cameron is a man, right? And those clients who insist on Khloe... they're all men, aren't they?" Trey blinked, startled.

"Don't say that." "I'm not saying it without reason," Angela replied, her tone sharp. "In business, especially this industry, there's no such thing as an eternally brilliant woman-only men who have been tamed." Trey looked at her, disappointment shadowing his gaze. "Angela... since when did you get so harsh?" She realized too late that she'd overstepped. Not long after, the office door opened again. The assistant returned, holding a stack of documents. He placed them before Angela. "Angela, Mr.
Cameron says he appreciates your effort, but the project must still be handled personally by Khloe." Then the assistant turned to Trey. "Mr. Fox, Mr. Cameron also asked me to convey: if Khloe is truly unavailable, then we will not proceed with the Fox Group for this project." Angela's composure snapped. "Why? How am I any less capable than Khloe?" Trey quickly gripped her arm. "Please, ask Mr. Cameron to clarify why it must be Khloe. If there's doubt about Angela's qualifications, he can verify her resume.
She was Khloe's mentor and the only female professor in the finance department at Goldmont University." 1/2 Chapter 82 +25 Bonus The assistant smiled wryly. "I understand, Mr. Fox. Angela is exceptional, but Mr. Cameron said he values loyalty -he only wants to work with Khloe." With a respectful nod, the assistant left. Angela's frustration coiled in her chest like a live wire. Her vision darkened at the edges. Trey, too, was pale, stunned by the outcome. The drive back was silent. Each sat with their own thoughts.
Angela resented Trey's past dependence on Khloe, which had led to this humiliating situation. Trey, meanwhile, felt disappointed-Angela had not managed to keep her composure. Before they even reached the office, news of the project rejection had spread throughout the company. As she passed through the department area, Angela heard whispered gossip. She felt the eyes of colleagues tracking her, judging her. Her steps quickened.
Glancing toward Khloe's empty workstation and the few young female subordinates she had personally mentored who were busy working, Angela strode over and picked up one of their computers. 2/2 Cedella Cedella is a passionate storyteller known for her bold romantic and spicy novels that keep readers hooked from the very first chapter.
