I felt a wave of anxiety from hearing those words. I reminded Caroline, "Keep it together and probe Bruce for his thoughts. We'll discuss this later." But I never expected to receive a question from Bruce later on.

"Nance, Mr. Harold wants you to come to Roveal immediately." John sounded anxious. "He doesn't look too happy. so you'd best prepare yourself.” In the president's office, Cindy sat beside Bruce with reddened eyes. looking like a sad little creature

I looked at Bruce. "Why did you call me here. Mr. Harold?"

Bruce pushed the laptop toward me. “What exactly happened?”

On the screen were the slides I had prepared. But there were obvious paging problems, just like what Caroline had told me.

I suddenly realized something and shifted my gaze to Cindy. "What do you have to say about this, Ms. Lane?”

Cindy stared at me with her doe eyes, looking confused and innocent.

“You should have been truthful if you didn't want Cindy doing the presentation. Why did you give her such a messy draft?” Bruce butted in.

I couldn’t believe my ears and argued irritably, “Is this how you see me, Mr. Harold?"

"Bruce, maybe Nance didn’t notice either. Don't blame her." Cindy's voice was soft. She began blaming herself. "I should have done my own preparations."

Caroline couldn't stand it anymore and huffed with annoyance. "That wasn't what you said before, Ms. Lane.”

"Ms. Whittaker." Cindy looked even more sad. "Do you also think I'm not qualified to do the reporting?"

"Ms. Lane..." Caroline began

"Forget it." I stopped Caroline and asked Bruce, "Will Roveal withdraw its investment?"

This was the crux of the matter.

Bruce glanced at me. "I'll handle it, but I don’t want to see the same mistake twice.”

That sounded familiar. If I remember correctly, Bruce also warned me with the same line while protecting Cindy back then. But this time, he was warning our entire studio

I originally wanted to ask Bruce if I could make it up to it, but now it seemed unnecessary. Bruce would take care of Cindy. Back at the company, Cindy found me and muttered cautiously, "I'm sorry. Nance. I'll work harder next time.”

I smiled at her downed demeanor. “Yes, you need to work harder. Otherwise, you won't even be able to produce a decent graduation design.” Cindy paled at my words, and she silently returned to the office.

All I could say was that she wasn't clever enough. She never thought who would be affected the most by her little stunt—Bruce Harold.

There were no secrets in this world. Once the Harold family caught wirid of this; ‘those shrewd people would only look down on her evermore.

What was she trying to do?

Sure enough, the thing I was worried about happened within a day's time.

Kate somehow learned about this and rushed into the studio, scolding Cindy relentlessly.

"It's one thing to be stupid yourself! But how dare you drag Bruce into this." came the loud shriek, “You stupid brat!"

Cindy mumbled pitifully, "I didn't expect there to be a problem with the slides. I..."

‘Don't pass the blame onto others!*. Kate didnt give her a chance to = explain. "If it doesn't work out, b> might as well stop this lousy project!" 7

Hearing this, I couldn't sit idly by and hurriedly went to stop Kate, finally persuading her to the meeting room.

"

ance, my head is hurting.” Kate wiped her tears in front of me. "Bruce was scolded by Mom whens he went fiome last night. She said that hawas neglecting his duties, and the two of them got into-an argument, The rest of the family are

afPlaughing behind his back."

Only then did I realize how important Cindy was to Bruce. At the same time, I also felt a lingering sense of danger.
