NovelEnglishThe project handover was swift, and there was no fault to be found in the work Josie had done. Even Laura, who was known for her hypercritical nature, couldn't help but admit from the bottom of her heart, "You're actually quite talented. This project alone could bring long-term profits to Olsen Group." "Stop flattering me, or I might just change careers,” Josie said, half-jokingly.
Upon hearing those words, Laura's smile momentarily froze on her face, but she quickly regained her composure. “Go ahead and change. Olsen Group will always have a place for you." Josie glanced outside, her meaning clear as she said, "I haven't even joined the company yet, but I've already displaced a large portion of your people. Are you really going to letin?" For a moment, Laura found herself unable to determine whether this was a test or simply unintentional.

However, Louisa, who was standing nearby, was taken aback. She stared at Josie in shock, inwardly panicking at the reveal of Josie's identity. She's the daughter of the Olsen family? Oh no, what did I say just now? It's all over now...
Josie didn't say anything further regarding the matter. Once the project was concluded, she promptly got up and left the corporation.
Laura watched as the figure retreated further and further away. She quickly realized something was off. As far as she knew, Josie shouldn't have made such probing remarks. Subconsciously clutching her pen tighter, she looked up and asked, "What were you guys talking about earlier?" Louisa was already trembling, her face filled with fear. "She... Well, not much. She just askedhow the company's been doing, a-and she also askedwhether Mr. Olsen would be upset at having the orchids replaced...” Laura suddenly stood up. “What was your response?” "I said... this position is only for the capable..." Laura's expression drastically changed. Seeing this, Louisa's knees almost buckled. She was on the verge of tears as she cried, "I didn't know she was the daughter of the Olsen family! I thought... I thought she was your friend!" Friends? I'm afraid it might be difficult to continue being friends at this point.
"You go out first." Once the office door was closed, Laura slumped into her chair, devoid of energy. She picked up the phone from her desk and dialed a number she hadn't contacted in a long time.
The phone rang for forty seconds before the other party answered.

She had lived in Wavery for a while, D and each tshe passed by this place, she would marvel at the rapid economie growth of modern society However, she had never thought that all of this would vel.ne somehow be connected to her one day. With these thoughts in mind, Josie turned back, gazing up at the imposing skyscraper with an indescribable feeling in hervel After much hesitation, she finally made that phone call.
The call wasn't answered immediately; it took around ten seconds. Dexter's voice was deep as he growled, "What do you want?" From his tone, he appeared genuinely angry.
Josie softened her voice, pleading, "Dexter, I want to see Grape." "She's at Russell Mansion. You can go there whenever you want." "I have to take care of Mark and can't leave. Could you bring her out?" "Aren't you afraid of being discovered?" "Be careful." After a prolonged silence on the other end, Dexter spoke with a hint of eloce. "If you have no int else to say, I'm going to hang up." So fierce.
"Hey..." she called out softly.
As the words, laced with an aggrieved and coquettish tone, reached the man's ears, his heart softened in an instant.
He practically sighed out, "What is it?"
