This is hilarious.

"Crazy jerk...!" Stabbing the innocent steak with her fork, Leila gritted her teeth.

"Why are you so moody?" Vicki raised an eyebrow at Leila.

Taking her fork close to her neck, Leila gritted her teeth. "I should have just thrown into his face".

Shoving a piece of steak inside her mouth, Vicki vigorously shook her head. "What's up with you? You are becoming more weird.... "

Dropping the fork on the plate, Leila said, "Vicki! Order anything you want. I will pay today".

"Really! Thank you" Her eyes practically shone with delight.

"Order whatever you like!" Leila asserted with a proud smile.

"Miss Leila, Are you and our boss in a relationship?" Vicki squinted slightly as she studied Leila with an ambiguous look.

Leila tightened her fists at her sides and she answered Vicki, "Don't you have any other interesting topic to talk?".

"Okay. I won't ask you" Vicki muttered. Her eyes gleamed when a woman crossed their sight.

"Alright.... " Vicki wiped out her phone and placed it in front of Leila's face.

"Who is this?" Leila stared blankly for a moment before she broke into a huge grin.

"Yes... Stella and that weird Director Stone were in a relationship" Vicki squealed close to Leila's ear.

"Isn't he married?" Leila covered her mouth in shock. "But where did you get this photo?" Leila whispered in gossip tone.

"I caught them last night.... They were.... "

"What are you guys talking about?" A voice was sounded above their head.

Leila and Vicki stiffened for moment before they quickly distance from each other.

"I think I have go! See you Manager" Leila abruptly stood up.

"Me too... Enjoy your day, Manager" Vicki followed Leila.

Barry blinked his eyes, clearly taken aback by their actions. "What's wrong...?" He scratched his head.

"Are you guys gossiping about me?" He yelled after he registered senses in his head.

Leila was occupied with her own duties after returning to the office. She couldn't touch with Stella since noon so she had tried calling her, but it was to no avail.

She took a glance at her watch before she grabbed the document folder and headed to the conference room.

Leila walked inside the conference in time. Her eyes blinked twice when she saw Carl sitting alone inside the room.

"Don't tell me you are the project manager!" A complicated expression immediately appeared on her face.

Carl stalked around the desk and came to a stop right in front of Leila. "Have a seat, Miss Green" He looked at her quietly.

When Leila returned to her senses, she politely greeted Carl.

His lips curled into a smile. However, there was a deeper meaning to his smile. "You don't have to be so formal with me, Leila".

Leila with a small smile took her seat. "This is the design ad information. Please see if there is anything that needs to be modified" Leila said. She shared everything with Carl and modified some discussing with him.

Coming back to her office Leila was again buried into her work. While she was gathering information on Bocote wood, a stack of documents was dropped on her workspace with a thud.

She raised her head, only to see that an infuriated Stella was glaring at her.

"Summarized and submit it today!" Stella ordered.

"What...?" Leila slightly show her displeasure face.

Slightly bent Stella pointed, "Leila, Can you review the designs documents also?"

Leila tightly squeezed her pen. She then put her pen down before she raised her eyes to look at her. "Sorry! Stella. I called you many times but you didn't recieved my calls". Leila forced herself to softened her tone.

Stella appraised her with a cold gaze before she snorted. "So, there's no need to submit your design information to me. Right?"

"I am sorry" Tamping down the rage that Leila was feeling, she apologize.

Sighing in resignation, Leila shut her eyes and thrown herself to her seat.

When it was time to leave the office, Stella packed her stuff. She threw a meaningful look at her before she walked out confidently.

Looking at her disappearing back view, Leila took a deep breath to ease the frustrated feeling that she felt in her heart. She then continued to work overtime in the office to complete her work.

Just then, her phone rang. Leila glanced over and saw that it was from Cherry, so she quickly connected the call. "What's the matter?".

"Where are you?" Cherry sounded impatient.

"Still in office!" Leila replied slowly.

"Leila, look at the latest headlines on the Internet." Cherry high pitched voice came from the phone.

Leila stared blankly on her phone for a while. She didn't know what her friend was up to with this, so she unlocked her phone and glanced at it casually.

It was a rather a photo of Nicholas and a beautiful female model exiting a hotel together.

In an instant, her breath hitched instantly. "This is hilarious! This is the girl I told you the other day. Oh my god! She is a model" She gasped but her voice sounded extremely happy.

On the other side, Cherry's surprise voice was heard. "Why are you so happy?".
