Chapter 90
It was early Sunday morning when Madeline went to Vanguard Corporation.
She hadn’t gone to the company for her resignation ever since she broke ties with the Larson family.
When she arrived at the floor where her office was, she saw that everyone in the secretary department was busy.
Meanwhile, many people looked up at her when she appeared
“She’s here.”
“I thought she quit.”
Madeline was a little embarrassed. After all, she had asked for so much advance for her salary after only working a few days and even lost contact after those days.
Madeline wondered what the others in the secretary department thought of her.
“Some people are just lucky. Selena tutted and continued, “After going back to studying g as soon as the new semester starts, they don’t even have to come to work anymore. I’m so envious. As for me, my life is tough.”
Brianna was also jealous and said. “I wonder what one does to make Mr. Wagner so indulgent. Such crooked ways. Humph! What’s there to be envious of
At that moment, Matilda came out of the pantry.
Upon seeing that, no one dared to say anything anymore.
“Maddie, you’re here. Matilda smiled. “I thought you might be here today since it’s Sunday. You’ve been busy because school just started, right! Come with me to the CE ‘s office.”
“Okay. Matilda” Madeline could not help but admit that people in large enterprises were well–mannered.
They must be thinking of firing me next and asking me to pay them back, right?” thought Madeline.
Unexpectedly, Matilda only took Madeline to the CEO’s office to assign her some basic tasks.
Then, Matilda left as if nothing had happened.
Maulda didn’t even ask Madeline anything.
It was as though Madeline could go to work whenever she wanted
Madeline sat on her stool and thought. There’s such a good thing in this world?”
Then again, Madeline figured she should take it as an internship.
That way, Madeline would have a good resume by the end of her senior year.
At noon, Queenie invited Madeline to lunch
At the restaurant, Queenue ate and muttered, “It’s so uning to work in the secretary department. It’s so tough. Mr. Wagner is here again today. It makes me tremble every time he’s here.”
With that. Queende caressed her arm and continued, “It’s said that there is a big project. I bet we’ll need to work overtime again.”
“Really“” Madeline smiled and said, Tm just a nobody here. I have no sense of p
[participation.
“That shows how kind the boss is to you.” Queenie sighed before she continued, “I also want to be a nobody! We’re collaborating with Glorious Group on the project. Their CEO never shows up. His subordinates are the ones doing the work. However, Mr. Wagner and that CEO will be present when they finally sign the contract.”
As soon as Queenie finished her sentence, she looked at Madeline’s bare face.
Then, Queenie narrowed her eyes and said. “Speaking of which, you look very similar to that CEO”
Madeline’s heart skipped a beat. She thought, “Glorious Group and Vanguard Corporation are collaborating? Why haven’t I heard

anything? It seems I have no sense of participation in
Glorious Group either.”
“Ahem… Why would I be working part–time here if I’m the CEO of Glorious Group? Right??
Queenie nodded and answered, “I thought so, too.”
When Madeline didn’t put on makeup, she looked gentle and obedient. On the other hand, her beauty carried a hint of aggression when she dressed up with makeup.
Thus, Queenie thought Madeline and the CEO from the Glorious Group looked rather alike.
Meanwhile, Selena came over with a drink and sat opposite them. “Hey! Isn’t this the lady who is getting preferential treatment? Why are you still eating in the company cafeteria with your background? Also, look at your bag. It’s 2 dollars on Amazon, isn’t it?”
Similarly, Brianna also looked at Madeline with disgust. She said with envy, “You have no proper educational qualifications or prominent family background. Yet, you can still sit at the CEO’s office so blatantly. You brought a bed into the company, didn’t you?”
After hearing that, Selena couldn’t help but laugh. “Well said, Brianna. My dad’s not young anymore, yet women are still throwing.
themselves at him.”
Queenie frowned. “Why are you guys so free? You’ve finished communicating with Glorious Group? We’re all colleagues. Be nice.”
“Queenie, we joined the company at the same time. You’re not Matilda. Who gave you the right to criticize us?” Selena snorted and crossed her arms around her chest “I just can’t stand despicable women. I feel sick to be colleagues with such a person-
Splash!
Madeline raised her glass and splashed the contents on Selena’s face.
Then, Madeline put down the empty glass and stood up. “You seem well–versed in the subject. I assume you’re very experienced in doing those things.”
“Stop!” Selena’s curls were soaked, and her makeup was smeared. ‘Don’t think you’re all that just because you got Mr. Wagner’s attention. I will be waiting and laughing at you when he gets bored of you and abandons you,
Madeline sneered and replied, “Go to a doctor if you’re sick. Don’t go crazy in public. It’s embarrassing.”
As soon as
on as Madeline finished her sentence, she left.
Meanwhile, Queenie suppressed her laughter. She knew the prominent young lady of the Youngs family had always been arrogant because of her wealthy family.
Thus, Queenie was happy to see Selena being taught a lesson
The former cleared her throat and said, “Maddie is right.”
Selena stomped her feet angrily and said, “You’re just a poor bum. How dare you act so arrogantly and splash water on me? Just wait!”
Brianna sighed and said, “Forget it. Calm down. There’s no need to get involved with such a person
Later in the afternoon, Madeline did some leisure work in her office while practicing her speaking skills in Uprian.
Thus, there were several study materials on her desk.
When it was time to get off work, Madeline had to clean the office before she could leave.
Unexpectedly, when Madeline went to the restroom, she suddenly heard some noise followed by a loud bang
Shocked, Madeline then found that the whole office was dark, and the lights were off when she got out.
Madeline went over to open the door and realized that it had also been locked from the outside.
“How did this happen?” wondered Madeline, but she figured out instantly that it must be revenge for what had happened during the day. Madeline picked up her phone and quickly called Queenie, but she didn’t get through.
Thus, Madeline called Matilda. Fortunately, the former was in a business meeting, so she told Madeline that she would get there in half an hour.

With that, Madeline sat down and leaned her head lazily on her hands on the table with a yawn.
Before Madeline knew it, she had fallen asleep.
In the middle of her sleep, someone tapped on the table twice.
Tap, tap.
Madeline opened her eyes and said. “Matilda, thank you-”
However, Madeline’s words got stuck in her mouth. In the dark, a tall man in a suit was standing in front of her.
Even though the man was merely standing there, his presence was intimidating.
“Ste–Ahem. Mr. Wagner.”
“Are you okay?” Steven asked as he looked down at Madeline.
“I’m fine.” Madeline quickly stood up and said, “I… The door was locked.”
Steven replied in a low voice, “Yes. Ms. Lawrence told me. I’ve asked her to deal with it. Pack up and have dinner with me.”
Madeline was stunned. “Huh?”
Still, Madeline followed Steven out of the company.
After all, she could tell that Steven was not asking her but informing her.
Sitting in Steven’s car, Madeline was still a little uncomfortable. Thank you for your kindness back then. I left without saying goodbye when I was staying at Republic Garden…
Steven’s lowered his eyes, and his lashes cast a shadow on his face.
He waited until Madeline had finished and asked, “What would you like to eat?
