Giselle hesitated for a moment. “Director Shaw gave them to me to deliver.” 

“Alright, I’ll go ask him,” Evangeline replied. 

With that, Evangeline rose from her seat, ready to head to Theo’s office. Giselle panicked, quickly grabbing the documents from Evangeline’s hands, her frustration slipping out. “I’ll take them, but I wasn’t involved in this project. If the PR department starts asking questions, what am I supposed to say?” 

Evangeline answered calmly, “Everything’s detailed in those files. If they need clarification, just tell them to come and see me.” 

In truth, “coordinating” was just a polite way of saying Giselle was running errands–handling the drudgework no one else wanted. The rest of the team still had follow–up tasks to deal with; only Giselle had nothing pressing to do. 

Still, Giselle couldn’t shake the feeling that Evangeline was deliberately making her life difficult. Huffing, she stomped out of the office. 

The PR department was downstairs. As she waited for the elevator, clutching the files, a mischievous thought suddenly flashed through her mind. This was Evangeline’s project–what if she deliberately screwed things up? Maybe Evangeline would get fired. 

And with so many eyes on her, even Glenn wouldn’t be able to bail her out…. 

Wait. 

The realization hit her. If Evangeline handed the task to her, and something went wrong, she’d be on the hook too. Now Giselle suspected this was Evangeline’s plan all along: shift the risk to her and make her sweat over the outcome. 

She felt as if she’d walked straight into Evangeline’s trap. 

Furning, Giselle stomped her foot. But there was nothing she could do about it. Evangeline was her direct superior, and if she wanted to keep her job at UME, she’d have to play along. 

Irritated, Giselle stepped into the elevator. Just as the doors were about to close, Lily hurried over, calling out, “Wait up, Gigi!” 

Giselle actually liked Lily Plus, Lily shared her dislike for Evangeline, which made them natural allies. She helpfully pressed the open button. 

“Thanks, Gigi,” Lily said with a bright smile. Her gaze dropped to n

Giselle’s hands. “Hey, what are those?” 

Giselle explained she was supposed to coordinate with the R&D department. 

Lily frowned, “She’s just using you as an errand girl. You haven’t been here long, but I can tell you’re talented. This kind of grunt work is beneath you. 

Η 

Lily’s words made Giselle feel instantly better. The more Lily sympathized, the angrier Giselle became at Evangeline. 

She was about to reply when Lily suddenly gasped, clutching her head. With a moan, she sank down in the corner of the elevator. 

Startled, Giselle asked, “Are you alright?” 

Lily’s voice was weak. “I think my blood sugar’s low. Everything’s going black.” 

“What should I do?” Giselle blurted, genuinely worried. 

“There’s some candy in my desk drawer. Could you grab one for me?” 

Without a second thought, Giselle pressed the “door open” button and hurried out. Lily casually took the files from her. “I’ll hold these for you, so you don’t forget them later.” 

Giselle didn’t think twice, darting back toward the office. 

As soon as the elevator doors closed, Lily–miraculously recovered–sat up straight, pulled out her phone, and quickly snapped photos of the documents Giselle had been holding. Her heart raced with nerves; a thin sheen of sweat gathered on her forehead. 

She’d been involved in developing Evangeline’s latest product, and knew some of the underlying technology. Now, all she needed was the crucial technical overview Evangeline had compiled. With that, Frank would have everything he needed–the rest would be child’s play.
