Chapter 91 Just as Joycelyn was still immersed in shame and unable to pull herself together , Linda opened the door of the directors office , quickly walked out , and ordered , Everyone , come to the conference room for a meeting .
Joycelyn immediately composed herself , took a sip of water , and stood up with her notebook in hand .

She then walked into the conference room with her colleagues .
In the meeting , Linda sat at the head of the table and went straight to the point .
She said , Our subsidiarys new project with Ms.
Wilson has been launched and has achieved great results .
The event held previously was also planned and handled by our department .
Everyone performed exceptionally well , so the company has decided to let our planning department take part in the later stages of promotion and arrangements .
This is the companys most promising project in the future , so make sure to cherish this opportunity .
After Linda finished speaking , Aurelia was quite surprised .
When was this notice issued ? she said .
Why didnt I receive it on my end ? This kind of notice is important , Linda said .
Youve just been promoted to director , so its normal that you havent been informed .
It just so happens that youre leading the team this time .
Let everyone understand the development and expansion of this project .
Linda completely disregarded Aurelia , who held a position of equal rank with her .
With that said , she opened her laptop and pulled up the PowerPoint presentation .
Theres a meeting in the afternoon .
The project leader .
Mr.
Johnson , and the head of design will attend .
et me give everyone a brief overview of the core aspects of the project first .
Joycelyn looked up at the image on the screen .
With the rapid development of new energy sources in the country , the chip sector was tightly controlled by foreign companies .
The progress made by Rubys studio in research and development had indeed shocked the entire industry .
Although it was only a small improvement , it was already far ahead in the country .
What Joycelyn could not understand was that despite Ruby being disfigured , Ellison did not treat her differently .
However , she was still willing to work with Grant Group for the long term This woman is really strong on the inside , Joycelyn thought .
Linda , has Ms.
Wilson signed the collaboration contract ? Joycelyn could not help but ask .
Linda shot Joycelyn an annoyed glance .
Isnt that a dumb question ? If the collaboration isnt finalized , whats the point of us planning ? Joycelyn was criticized , so she pursed her lips , saying nothing else .
Selene was also curious and couldnt help but ask , Wasnt Ms.
Wilson at odds with Mr.
Grant before ? How come … Grant Group is at the top of the business world , so choosing us is clearly the most beneficial for development , Linda said .
Businesspeople prioritize profit , not personal feelings .
You think Mr.
Grant and Ms.
Wilson have no skills and cant pull things off , huh ? If everyone thought like you , the company would have gone under a long time ago .
Lindas tone was full of criticism .
57 Fri , Feb 14 Chapter 91 n Selene immediately rolled her eyes upon getting scolded .
Joycelyn patted her hand , signaling her not to take it to heart .
After all , Lindas words made sense .
In the face of benefits , all relationships were insignificant .
Joycelyn did not expect this collaboration to come so unexpectedly .
After thinking about it carefully, she thought , Ruby probably wouldnt attend .
Shes still receiving treatment for her face at the hospital .
After lunch , they rested for an hour .
Team One , of which Joycelyn was a part , set off to the subsidiary for a meeting .
The person receiving them was Peter , who had taken the stage a the emcee previously .
However , there was someone standing beside him that surprised Joycelyn .
It was Octavia .
She was dressed in a black and white professional outfit with a pair of black silk stockings under her short skirt , and her white blouse was also form fitting .
She looked so sexy that she didnt seem like she was here for work .
Joycelyn recalled that Octavia took the initiative to add Peters contact information the other day.
Given how much time had passed , she reckoned that Peter was already charmed by Octavia .
She remembered that Octavia majored in secretarial studies .
Octavia saw Joycelyn too .
When she looked over , she had a smug and arrogant look .
Aurelia recognized Octavia as well , and she said , Joycelyn , isnt that your stepsister ? How come she is working for Mr.
Johnson ? Could it be that … People who were in the know knew what she wanted to say but held back .
Joycelyn appeared calm , unaffected by Octavia .
Ignore her , she said .
Were here to work .
Tsk , the work hasnt even been assigned yet , and the gossip is already here , Selene said .
At Peters age , hes definitely married .
Youd better stay away from him .
If his wife shows up later , you might find yourself in trouble as you are Octavias sister .
As she clicked her tongue , she speculated about the situation ahead of time .
Ive already cut ties with her , Joycelyn said .
She was knocked out and kidnapped by Cedric and his brother the other day .
She wasnt seriously harmed , and no evidence linking Octavia was found .
However , Joycelyn had a feeling that this matter had something to do with Octavia .
It appeared that Octavia did not pay attention to Joycelyn too .
Instead , she walked up to Linda with a sense of familiarity and said , Ms.
Lorne , this way , please .
Linda glanced at Octavia .
The instant their eyes met , Joycelyn caught a glimpse of something unusual in their eyes .
She thought .
These two seem to know each other .
69 % Chapter 91 Octavia and Linda only made eye contact during that one second .
Then , they walked one after another , not saying anything else .
They were also worried that Joycelyn would be suspicious .
When they entered the companys large conference room , there were already seven or eight people waiting The representative sent by Rubys team was surprisingly Liam .
Sorry to keep everyone waiting , Peter said .
He then personally troduced the two groups of people .
These are the core members of Ms.
Wilsons team .
This is her assistant , Liam .
The moment Liam saw Joycelyn , his eyes under his black framed glasses lit up immediately .
Standing behind Linda , Joycelyn merely glanced at Liam , not revealing that they were old classmates .
Liam naturally did not bring that up .
He respectfully shook hands with Linda .
The two groups of people sat facing each other .
Peter took the main seat to start the meeting and discussion .
Octavia served him a cup of coffee at the beginning .
After giving him a glance with romantic undertones , she went to the secretarys office and did not return .
The meeting lasted nearly two hours ..
After that , Joycelyn and Selene went to the washroom .
Coincidentally , they bumped into Octavia , who walked over in three inch high heels , swaying her hips with a seductive grace .
When Octavia saw Joycelyn avoiding her , she deliberately walked up to Joycelyn in her high heels .
Blocking Joycelyns way .
she said .
My dear sister , youve been working for two years and youre still an employee .
Im still an intern , yet Im already the chief secretary to the vice president .
My salary is several times higher than yours .
Youre really inferior to me in every way .
They were both professionals , but Joycelyn was simple and elegant .
On the other hand , Octavia was simply like a walking Vixen .
Indeed , Im not as willing as you to go all out , accepting men in their forties and fifties , Joycelyn said .
Her serene beautiful face broke into a gentle smile , but her clear eyes were cold .
and Octavias expression suddenly darkened .
She glanced at Joycelyn mockingly , and her tone carried a hint of gritted teeth as she said .
Im better off than you .
You found yourself a gigolo who sells insurance .
His monthly pay probably doesnt even add up to a fraction of mine .
Youre not in a position to lecture me .
