CHAPTER 20: CHAPTER 20: RIVALS

"Miss Vance, please respond to yesterday’s incident."

"Has your development over the years been all because of yesterday’s scandal? Is your relationship with President Lawson like that as well?"

The reporter’s questions pierced into Vera Yates’ heart.

Vera Yates walked out wearing a mask and hat, her face dark, entering the film crew under the escort of her assistant.

As soon as she entered the crew, the livid Vera Yates reached the backstage, and slammed the cosmetics on the makeup table to the ground.

"Miss Vance, here is your coffee."

The little assistant carefully handed the purchased coffee to Vera Yates.

"Can’t you tell I don’t want coffee right now?"

"I’m... I’m sorry."

The little assistant said timidly, holding the coffee in hand. Wasn’t it said that she has a superb personality? But ever since she became her assistant, she found this woman different from the rumors outside.

Vera Yates gave the assistant a harsh glare, taking the coffee.

After just a sip, she suddenly threw the coffee on the assistant’s body.

The dark coffee splattered across the assistant’s skin, instantly turning a patch red.

In pain, her lips twitched, sweat formed on her forehead, and she bit her teeth hard to not let a scream escape.

Seeing the assistant swallowing the pain, Vera Yates lightly smiled, savoring the assistant’s agony, releasing some of the anger in her heart.

"Do I drink coffee with sugar? What do you use your brain for?"

"Miss Vance, you used to drink it with sugar."

"Are you questioning me?"

The assistant closed her mouth, standing obediently with her head down, a deep sense of resentment in her eyes, angry but unable to speak.

"Did Stephen call me?" Vera Yates suddenly asked, her small hands clenched together.

After what happened yesterday, would the aloof Landon Lawson contact her again? After years of effort in maintaining the relationship between them, it finally improved with her as his girlfriend in name; how could she willingly let Sienna Quinn ruin it all in one fell swoop?

The little assistant shook her head.

Seeing the assistant shake her head, Vera Yates’ expression grew uglier.

Hasn’t he contacted her yet, is it because of Sienna again? Sienna, you’ve left, why did you come back?

Are you still thinking about Landon Lawson?

Vera Yates’ gaze grew more sinister; the person she set her sights on was not for others to covet.

Narrowing her eyes at the assistant’s reddened arm, her mouth curled into a meaningful smile.

"Hello, President Quinn!"...

Sienna Quinn, dressed in an exquisite, professional black outfit, couldn’t conceal her distinct feminine curves.

A slender waist just large enough to hold, a flat stomach, sleek calves without a trace of excess fat.

Sienna Quinn’s figure was perfectly outlined.

From far away, Danielle Carter could be seen breathlessly running toward Sienna Quinn.

"President Quinn!" She hadn’t expected Sienna Quinn to start work so early.

"Where’s my office?" Sienna glanced around; the headquarters of the Yates Group was indeed quite large.

"Is this the President Quinn from the France branch? Such a rare beauty, comparable to the celebrities on screen."

"President Quinn’s charm and insight can’t be matched by those celebrities."

"I heard President Yates personally invited her back with great effort, and this time, the HR Group cooperation is managed by President Quinn."

Instantly, a storm brewed.

The stunning CEO became the center of attention.

The name of Sienna Quinn was known to many, and no one at headquarters was unaware of the President of the France branch.

In just five years, she had brought enormous benefits to the company, with the growth rate nearly catching up to headquarters.

She was highly regarded by Axel Yates.

This time, Axel Yates had gone to great lengths to invite this revered figure from France.

The murmurs reached Sienna and Danielle’s ears, the latter glancing at her hand in wonder, contemplating making a hand mask that evening, she was so lucky to have drawn this lot; it was unheard of.

Sienna looked at her office, realizing Axel Yates had put effort into its simple yet sophisticated design, knowing her tastes well.

"President Quinn, President Yates wants you to come to his office at ten o’clock. If you need anything, feel free to call me. If there’s nothing else, I’ll head out first."

Sienna nodded as Danielle was about to leave, but Sienna suddenly stopped her.

The latter instinctively stiffened, cold sweat forming on her forehead.

"President Quinn... Did I do something wrong?"

Seeing the girl’s nervous expression, Sienna felt a bit embarrassed scratching her head: "Actually, I have one thing."

Gulp!

The sound of swallowing was unusually clear.

"Could you help find a good kindergarten nearby?"

What?

Danielle stared at Sienna in shock, Sienna clearly felt a bit embarrassed as she scratched her head!

At ten, Sienna appeared on time in Axel Yates’ office.

The man sat in his swivel chair, watching Sienna walk in, dressed professionally and with exquisite makeup, her bright eyes sparkling.

Looking at the woman before him, his lips curled into a pleased smile, his eyes filled with admiration.

"Sienna, now that you’ve returned to the headquarters, I’m going to work you to the bone."

"I’m paid by you, so naturally I’ll do my job." Her bright eyes curved into a lovely arc.

Axel Yates looked at her bright eyes like amber, his mood lifting suddenly.

For some reason, every time he saw Sienna, his mood brightened. Over the years, the confidence in Sienna’s eyes had grown more pronounced.

She was no longer the person she was on her first day at Yates Group.
