Revenge is best served cold

Seeing Harvey's arrogant expression, I immediately knew he wasn't just trying to intimidate me. He wanted to label me as a liar and kick me out of the company.

I smiled lightly, unaffected by his accusation. "So what? Are you trying to get me to quit voluntarily, Mr. Zimmerman?"

Having his intentions exposed, Harvey froze for a moment before sneering at me, "If you know what's good for you, you'll leave on your own. If I have HR throw you out, it won't be that simple."

"Oh?" I smirked. "And what exactly would make it 'not that simple'? Why don't you personally take me to the HR department? I'd love to see how a company justifies firing someone over a marital status error."

Harvey's expression stiffened. He hadn't expected me-someone who looked young and inexperienced to remain so composed while talking back to a superior.

After an awkward pause, he cleared his throat. "Since it seems like it was an honest mistake, I'll let it slide. I'm not the type to make things difficult for my subordinates. Just remember this favor I did for you."

With that, he didn't even bother checking my reaction before striding out of the office.

"Follow me. I'll introduce you to the team."

I rolled my eyes but still followed along.

I had memorized the structure of the Business Department before coming to the company. It was divided into three teams, each with 30 employees under a team leader. The team leaders reported directly to the department director.

Harvey led me into Team 2's workspace and clapped his hands. When everyone looked over, he said in a loud and commanding voice, "This is our new team member, Jane Brown. She's new, so she'll need training. If you have any work, feel free to give it to her."

Then, with mocking amusement, he pointed to a corner desk and sneered, "That's your seat from now on."

With that, he walked out without looking back, leaving me standing there.

A team leader's attitude often

dictated how the rest of the team treated a new hire, and Harvey had

made his stance clear-he didn't like

me.

So, the moment he left, everyone immediately lowered their heads, pretending to

be busy with their work.

I shrugged and casually took my seat, unfazed in the slightest. If he wanted to make things difficult for me right from the start, so be it, glanced around and finally fixed my gaze on the young woman sitting next to me.

Even though I had memorized all the team members' profiles, I still a

Cat's your name?" Content à as I leaned over to be cl

She flinched, immediately straightening her back and fixing her eyes on the

screen, refusing to acknowledge me.

It seemed that Harvey had indeed threatened them.

However, just as I thought she would ignore me completely, a small paper ball landed on my desk.

I unfolded it. Inside was her contact information, along with two words. "Add me."

I chuckled and pulled out my phone, adding her as a friend. The moment mynoveldrama

request was sent, it was instantly accepted.

Before I could even type a message, she sent a flurry of texts.

"I'm Heather Garrett. Sorry about earlier. I was too scared to talk to you."

She even sent a guilty-looking sticker as an apology.

I replied. "No worries. What's going on with everyone?"

Heather's response was instant. "You don't know?"

She sounded genuinely shocked, and her fingers flew across the keyboard. "Harvey told everyone you're a nepotism hire!"
