Ariana saw that he wanted to play games, and sneered, "Humph! You'd better sort out your obsessive fans as soon as possible, or I won't hold back when the time comes."
She was fed up with Beverly's petty tricks.
She always felt that this woman was just like Jane. Once she set her sights on you, she would chase after you relentlessly.
Lambert chuckled, "Do you really think that she would stop just because I talk to her about it?"
She was at a loss for words, he was right. If Lambert went to talk to Beverly about it, Beverly would only take it as him defending her and would become even more relentless.
Ariana snorted coldly, "Then you can't blame me!"
The elevator reached the floor of the new office. Ariana separated from Lambert, she was led by Conan to the new office and found that it was near the warehouse.
The colleagues were unhappy with moving to a new office. Supervisor Parker knew that Ariana would be coming to work today so he had been waiting at the door, ready to voice the situation.
Seeing Ariana coming, he immediately walked towards her and said, "Miss White, this new office is a bit stuffy, and the colleagues find it unbearable..."
At these words, Ariana glanced inside the office, took her credit card from her bag, handed it to him, and said, "First, have someone install an air conditioner to appease them. Don't worry, we won't be in this situation for long."
With that, she walked into her new office.
Of course, someone from the company could be arranged to install an air conditioner, but she thought they'd keep delaying. It felt more straightforward to pay directly.
Conan, who followed her into the office, found Ariana's calmness unexpected, making him a bit depressed.
Ariana looked around, dusting off the door, "What is Beverly doing right now?"
Conan hesitated a little then quietly said, "Miss Lawrence's office has been moved to the one next to the vice president's."
She blew off the dust from her finger, suddenly realizing, she would have to take advantage of her close ties in this situation!
Such a blatant challenge to her prime position, it seems Beverly is truly becoming impatient.
Ariana pretended to be indifferent, saying, "Get a cleaner to give my office a once-over."
"Hello..."
At this moment, a handsome young man dressed in a sharp suit appeared before Ariana.
Ariana looked at the young man and asked, "And you are?"
The handsome man extended his hand toward her with a light smile, saying, "I'm the Marketing Manager of the next-door department, Johan Sanders. I've heard that Manager White has moved over here, so I came to say hello. I believe there will be numerous opportunities for us to work together in the future."
Upon hearing his words, she raised an eyebrow and slightly reached out to shake his hand, saying, "Hello."
As Johan grasped Ariana's smooth hand, he paused slightly.
Ariana felt something strange, her eyes narrowed, and she retracted her hand.
...
Lambert's office...
Lambert stood by the large window, holding a coffee cup, looking distantly at the bustling traffic beneath the skyscraper.
His assistant knocked lightly on the door and said, "Mr. Vice President, Madam, she..."
"Madam?" Lambert raised an eyebrow when he heard the assistant calling Ariana 'Madam', and repeated it.
"Lambert, what's wrong? Why do you seem a little unhappy?" Beverly noticed that Lambert seemed preoccupied and couldn't help but ask.
Lambert smirked, "Miss Lawrence... I'm married."
She was taken aback, then lightly smiled: "So what?"
What if he's married? Ariana knew about her engagement with Lambert, yet she shamelessly snatched him away.
It's always been her, Beverly, who claimed others' share, what right did Ariana have to do the same?
Lambert said helplessly, "A girl's reputation is always more vulnerable."
Beverly paused, her tone cooling: "Are you considering this for my sake or Ariana's?"
He hesitated and didn't say anything.
A trace of jealousy flashed in Beverly's eyes. She swallowed her anger and said, "Lambert, whatever the case, we were once engaged. I can accept that you are married to someone else now but you can't treat me like this! You can't ignore me for no good reason! We can still be friends even if we can't get married!"
Lambert sighed, "Why are you doing this to yourself?"
Seeing Lambert was still dodging her, her eyes turned red instantly, "I won't listen no matter what you say!"
With that, she covered her face and walked out of the office. The people outside saw Beverly running out with tears streaming down her face, and gossip started to swirl.
When Beverly returned to the office, she put down her hand. Her reddened eyes concealed a chilling smile, "I don't believe everyone will always side with Ariana."
Lambert's eyes were heavy as he watched Beverly leave. He turned to appreciate the view of the high-rise building and sipped some coffee, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, the melancholy in his eyes fading away.
The assistant sensed the strangeness between them and felt a cold shiver down his spine. He could guess what was happening as clearly as a mirror, yet found it more terrifying.
