Fated love: the unwanted bride

Erin bounced away cheerfully again.

Back in the office, Jasmine Yale acted as if nothing had happened and continued to focus on her drafts.

Olive and several others were chatting around, cracking sunflower seeds.

“Xara, get me a cup of black coffee,” Olive told a new intern, “No sugar.”

Xara adjusted her glasses and stood up. “Oh, okay, Olive.”

Everyone in the office was somewhat wary of Olive.

Word had it that her boyfriend had a profound background.

A lot of people in the office revolved around her, and nobody dared to offend her.

In Olive’s words, she came to work for fun and didn’t care about the money at all.

Xara handed the coffee to Olive, “Olive, your coffee.”

Olive took the coffee and took a sip.

Then…whoosh… she spat it out all at once!

“Is this black coffee? Did you mix tap water in it?”

Xara looked aggrieved. “Olive, I got the black coffee from the pantry.”

“Drink coffee from the pantry? I asked for black coffee from the cafe downstairs!”

“But, but…” Xara didn’t know what to do.

The coffee downstairs was so expensive, and Olive hadn’t paid for it several times.

“So dumb, what kind of reporter are you? You’re completely clueless.” Olive slammed down her cup. “The newcomers are getting dumber.”

She meant to insult Jasmine too.

The people around chimed in, “Yeah, to be a reporter, you have to be sharp.”

“Xara, shouldn’t you apologize to Olive?”

Xara mumbled, aggrieved, “But I didn’t do anything wrong.”

“You still think you’re right? Your name is Snow, right? I can kick you out of Landon with just a phone call, not to mention Respected Majesty.”

Olive was livid, slamming the table.

Jasmine was meant to hear that.

“Xara, you just apologize to Olive. She is easy to talk to, it’s just that she is in a bad mood today.”

Xara, just a recent graduate, had never been treated this poorly.

She bit her lip and refused to apologize.

“Stubborn, huh? There’s no room for such stubbornness in this company.” Olive spoke coldly, “I don’t care to see you here tomorrow. I might not be the owner of Respected Majesty, but I can do that much. An intern daring to throw a fit!”

Distracted by their noise, Jasmine stopped writing her draft and stood up.

“Isn’t it work time now? Why do you have time for sunflower seeds, Olive?” Jasmine said calmly.

“Oh.” Olive was just about to give Jasmine a piece of her mind, “Jasmine Yale, have you been promoted? You think you can control me now?”

The crowd around dispersed, sitting down to watch the drama.

“So, Olive, did you get promoted? Why else would Xara be getting coffee for you? Oh right, without even giving her any money.”

Xara adjusted her glasses and nodded one after another.

Several times now, no payment.

She just started her internship; she doesn’t have any money.

“Xara didn’t say anything, so why are you making a fuss?” Olive stood up, “Jasmine Yale, just because you’ve done some interviews, you think you are great? Daring to boss over me? When I joined this company, you didn’t even know where you were playing in the mud!”

“So, Olive, haven’t you been promoted all these years? That’s quite pitiful.” Jasmine looked down upon her.

“Promotion? I just disdain it, not like you, so poor that you can’t even afford a decent cup of coffee and climbing up the ladder desperately, squeezing others out.”

So according to your logic, only the poor get promoted?”
