Chapter 552: Chapter 547: Unaware of the Greatness Before One’s Eyes_1

“Madam, you may not know the identity of Miss Vivian Wilson,” Manager Zhang sneered and glanced at Grace Harrison, “Miss Wilson could be our CEO’s fiancée and is currently serving as Mr. Thompson’s intern assistant.”

By the time he had finished speaking, Manager Zhang and the receptionist next to him both sported derisive smiles.

What bad luck for this fraud to have messed with the wrong person.

Upon hearing Manager Zhang’s introduction, Vivian Wilson was somewhat apprehensive.

Before Damian Thompson had denied their relationship, she had the same belief. However, after her father had told her that her position was no longer available and her dream of becoming young Mrs. Thompson could never be realized, she cried for an entire day and night.

She had admired Damian since she was young and had, for his sake, strived to get into top schools. But the news right before her graduation that her aspirations were mistaken was just too much for her to handle.

That’s why she didn’t deny when Manager Zhang and the others complimented her.

If this was a dream, she wished it would last a bit longer.

What if it was not a dream?

Could it be possible that her brother Damian had changed his mind?

She had come to see Damian specifically today to clear things up. As long as she stated her purpose and expressed her feelings, Damian might perhaps choose to continue employing her.

“The CEO’s fiancée?” Grace Harrison’s face instantly changed at the revelation. She instantly remembered something her brother Carter Harrison had told her.

“Dad is aware that you like Damian. Not only that, Dad also has a positive impression of him. But when I tried to get in touch with him to play matchmaker, his assistant told me they already have someone.”

So the ‘someone’ was Vivian Wilson.

So, Vivian really was with Damian.

Grace Harrison suddenly felt a chill wash over her.

She thought that after her identity was exposed, she would finally be worthy of Damian. But to her surprise, he already had a fiancée.

Of course, with his handsome looks and status, how could he be single?

He is responsible for managing the Thompson Group and Sister Molly has such a powerful social status. Even if he doesn’t have an arranged marriage with the Wilson family, she thought, there’s no chance for her.

Grace Harrison suddenly found her job as an intern assistant less interesting.

“Yes, Grace Harrison. Didn’t I tell you before that everything I studied and the exam I took were all for Damian? It was all for becoming his bride.” Vivian Wilson had a smug smile on her face.

Who else could have done all of this for Damian? Only her.

If Damian heard everything she had done for him over the years, he would certainly be moved.

“What are you waiting for? Get lost!” Upon seeing that Vivian Wilson didn’t like Grace Harrison either, Manager Zhang hurled insults at Grace without holding back, “You dare say you’re Mr. Thompson’s intern assistant? Look at yourself, you don’t even have the qualities to dream of being the CEO’s intern.”

The private assistant of the CEO would have to handle not only the company’s affairs, but also the CEO’s personal life.

Manager Zhang figured that this task would never be entrusted to someone who wore cheap clothes.

She had no idea that Grace Harrison did not care for brands, and preferred to donate the money that she would spend on luxury items to charity, rather than use it for her own purposes.

She could afford high-end designer brands, but Grace Harrison found the cheap clothes were more cost-efficient.

Despite being quite uncomfortable with Manager Zhang’s insults, Grace had to admit that she was right.

Damian Thompson was not someone she could aspire to.

Not far away, Damian was getting out of his car. As soon as he entered the lobby, he heard a commotion.

“Get lost now!”

“Look at yourself…”

…

Vaguely hearing some insulting remarks, Damian Thompson’s handsome face grew slightly cold. His long and narrow eyes swept over the noisy area, and it seemed as if he saw a familiar figure.

“Young master, that’s Manager Zhang who was just promoted from the downlines. She’s now in charge of a small team in the HR Department.” Seeing Damian’s focus was on the commotion, the assistant hurriedly started to explain.

However, Damian’s entire attention was fixed on someone else.

When the Harrison’s heiress identity had been revealed, she showed no big changes. Her style and preferences remained the same, simple and unadorned as before.

After seeing so many people who flaunted various brand-name goods, seeing Grace now gave him the sense of a refreshing change.

However… it seems like this girl didn’t know how to argue back.

Manager Zhang was still scolding, hurling her words as if she was venting all the grievances she had suffered in her life.

People often seek an outlet when under prolonged pressure. After toadying to leadership for the longest time and finally being transferred to the headquarters, she desperately needed to vent her emotions.

This simply dressed, gentle-natured girl clearly had no one backing her up.

Manager Zhang guessed that even if she insulted the girl, she wouldn’t dare snap back.

Grace was becoming weary from the incessant barrage of verbal abuse. Not that she couldn’t stand up for herself, she just didn’t think it was necessary to get into a slanging match with such a shrew.

If a dog bites her, she said to herself, she shouldn’t necessarily bite back.

Seeing no end of it, Grace took out her earplugs ready to leave. Just as she turned her head, she accidentally bumped into the chest of a man.

Grace’s heart shot into her throat, and she immediately recoiled, “So-sor… sorry.”

As Grace bowed and apologized, a familiar hand reached out to steady her, “Be careful.”

That familiar voice sent chills down Grace’s spine.

Vivian was so shocked she was completely dumbstruck, “Brother Damian?”

“Mr. Thompson…” Realizing who it was, Manager Zhang immediately clamped up. Her face was white as a sheet, praying that Mr. Thompson neither saw nor heard her earlier tirade.

But Damian’s next words crushed all hopes of that. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

“Why didn’t you fight back?” Damian asked Grace, looking at her innocent appearance. His tone dropped, “When she insulted you, why didn’t you insult her back?”

Grace’s face went scarlet. “I-I didn’t want to argue with her…”

Thankfully, she didn’t engage back, otherwise, he would have seen right through her.

Manager Zhang felt as if she had been struck by lightning at being called a ‘shrew’.

“Mr. Thompson, this woman is a fraud. She claimed to be your intern assistant…”

“She didn’t lie to you.” Damian’s tone was somewhat chilly; his bright eyes widened, and under his glasses, his long eyelashes twitched. His voice was like the sound of a cello, “She is my assistant.”

“What?!” It took a while for the news to sink in for Manager Zhang.

“Damian…” Vivian shook, rooted to her spot. “Didn’t you say you didn’t need an assistant?”

“I don’t need an assistant with poor character.” Damian cast a fleeting glance at Vivian, “Don’t you know what you’ve done?”

Vivian’s face flushed with disgrace and her whole body felt like it was buried in ice.

Moreover, Manager Zhang was even more shocked. With her mouth agape, she couldn’t believe what she was seeing.

So this girl she had been scorning was, in fact, the CEO’s assistant?

And she was disrespectful to… oh god, what did she do?

Thinking about her humiliating tirade earlier, Zhang felt a cold draft blowing through her.

“Mr. Thompson, it was all a misunderstanding. I had no idea that she was your assistant. If I had known, I… I wouldn’t have spoken to her like that.” Manager Zhang attempted damage control by immediately going over to Grace Harrison, “Miss, I humbly apologize. I didn’t mean to offend you earlier. Could you please find it in your heart to forgive me?”
