"But Iris told me to serve you instead," Cindy said. "I asked her if I could do anything to help her workload, but she said that I don't have to help her because I wasn't as good as her."
"Did she really say that?" Sebastian frowned. He had been working with Iris for a while before she was fired. Iris was a hardworking woman, and she would never step out of her line outside of work.
He couldn't imagine a dedicated secretary like Iris refusing help from an intern who genuinely wanted to assist.
Sebastian stared at Cindy with scrutinizing eyes, unsure if he could believe her.
"Sorry, Boss. I was just following orders. I thought it would help me familiarize myself with the job more. But maybe Iris doesn't want competition…" Cindy murmured, lowering her head as if she was really puzzled by this.
"I'll call Iris then. This is clearly unprofessional behavior. She needs to understand that you're not her competition," Sebastian said.
