Chapter 71 A receptionist standing by the side quickly stepped forward, trying to block Angela. "Miss Thompson, please don't be rude to our VIP guest!" "VIP? Her?" Angela snapped, unable to maintain her composure any longer. "A project manager freeloading off the Fox Group and stabbing them in the back... and you call her a VIP? What kind of VIP is she?!" Khloe, unbothered, straightened slightly and lightly furrowed her brow.
"Miss Carmine," she said to the manager, "how could your company be interested in talking business with someone like her?" The staff around her instantly broke into a cold sweat. The manager, Cassidy Carmine quickly signaled the receptionist next to Angela. "Miss Thompson, apologies, please allow us to excuse you for today," the receptionist said, stepping in. "Excuse me? Are you joking?" Angela's voice rose. "I was invited by your executive, Mark Brock! I'm here to negotiate a signing!" Her face had drained of color. How could Khloe make them get rid of her with a single word? Even if...
she'd overstepped a bit, it was provocation from Khloe first! But she couldn't risk derailing the project. Collecting herself, Angela forced her voice to be calm. "Fine. I apologize. I let my emotions get the better of me. But rest assured, I won't let it interfere with my work performance. Take me to see Mark." Cassidy's tone remained steady, leaving no room for Angela to maneuver. "Miss Thompson, we will explain to Mark. As for the signing, our company did not invite you to sign; Mark merely wants to discuss the project. The evaluation must still go through official review.

"We've also recently received some negative reports regarding the Fox Group. For risk management purposes, once the review is complete, we will notify you." The words were elegantly phrased, cutting both ways-they firmly cleared Khloe and her team, and left Angela no ground to argue. Seeing this, Khloe didn't waste another second. High heels clicking, she strode into the elevator. As the doors closed, she watched two security guards approaching Angela, seemingly ready to escort her out by force. The elevator chimed, and Khloe stepped out. At the same time, her phone pinged.
She opened it-it was a message from Trey. The tone wasn't any friendlier than before. Trey: [How long are you going to keep this up? Don't you care about me or the company? Do you even know your subordinates have all resigned?] Trey hadn't bombarded her with calls these past few days. Khloe knew he was certain she'd return eventually. Now that things were out of control, his pride had taken the hit. A small smirk tugged at her lips. She remembered Angela's panicked expression earlier. It looked like the two of them had been having an even rougher time than she had imagined.
She recalled the news she'd gotten yesterday morning, that Angela had already moved out. Stella had acted swiftly -photos sent, and by that evening, Angela had been evicted. 1/2 Chapter 71 +25 Bonus Late at night, the massive conference room was empty except for Khloe, still sorting through data. Time was tight, the datasets immense. Everyone else had left hours ago, unable to keep up, but Khloe was a workaholic. Once she started, nothing else existed. She had told others she'd leave at a reasonable hour, but tonight... it was long past late. A sudden, sharp cramp twisted her abdomen.
Checking her calendar, she realized her period was due. She brushed it off, doing a quick fix before returning to the computer. But the pain refused to relent. It gnawed deeper, clawing into her bones, relentless. By the time Khloe fully realized she couldn't push through it, her body had given out entirely. Sweat soaked her clothes, and she couldn't even move an inch.
