Lucia suddenly felt threatened seeing the young woman, although she"s facing sideways, the woman still looked stunning.Jealousy and insecurity filled her heart but Lucia refused to acknowledge that, she felt the need to reprimand her simply as a senior employee.
"excuse me, your a new hire?" Lucia courageously approached the woman.
Her mind is muddled that it didn"t even occurred to her that the woman could just be a guest.
Yeri nonchalantly turn around hearing someone but didn"t bother to say anything.
Lucia looked calm but her heart is now burning in jealousy, the woman didn"t have any make-up on but her face is absolutely gorgeous! its as if every part of her face has been intricately carved with perfect measurements and angles!
surgery! definitely a plastic surgery!
"I hope you don"t mind but K.V company isn"t just another ordinary company, every employee have to adhere on its strict rules and regulations even those with higher position...i notice your not wearing your id and your dress is also inappropriate. Please don"t take this as a rebuke, i"m just concerned as your senior at work and I don"t want your boss to have a bad impression of you." Lucia softly spoke and subtly smiled at Yeri.
Yeri arched an eyebrow looking at the righteous woman spouting nonsense at her, what part of her looks like an employee? and in case she is, obviously the woman didn"t approached her out of good intention, she might be speaking in a gentle manner and kind words but who would do that in an elevator hallway with other people?! also her voice isn"t loud but also enough for some people to hear.
Rumors can spread in seconds with word of mouth, she"s already giving her an image as one of those type who manage to snagged the job through back-door method.
Truly this world is different from school, it is full of scheming and vicious people, one can maybe rely on family background but an ignorant person can easily fall prey to deceiving and manipulative people.
Interesting! This is exactly why she wanted to graduate soon, this kind of fun is what she"s looking for! If only Lucia know what she"s thinking, she would probably file a month leave of absence!
Yeri gave out a friendly expression and got closer to Lucia. Since she wanted to imply that she"s someone spoiled and arrogant then why not act as one?
"You are a b.i.t.c.h!"
Lucia looked dumbfounded after what Yeri just said, how can someone with a delicate and angelic face utter such vicious words!
"but guess what? i"m a h.e.l.l b.i.t.c.h. You know the basic, I know the worst, so here"s a b.i.t.c.hy warning for you...don"t -provoke - me." Yeri enunciated the last three words.
Contrary to Yeri"s harsh words is her warm and gentle expression, since Lucia is facing the hallway wall no one noticed her shocked face, anyone looking at them would mistake them as close friends.
"sorry about that...lets go." Tristan spoke.
It was only then that Lucia snapped out of her daze, her face pale and her hands trembling. She looked up and saw Tristan near the woman.
"uh Lucia right? good morning!" Tristan casually greeted her and press the elevator b.u.t.ton.
"g-good morning Sir Tristan..." Lucia softy replied looking like she was just bullied.
Yeri indifferently glance at her and calmly get into the elevator followed by Tristan, Lucia is about to follow them when Yeri speak out.
"by the way, I don"t want to share the same s.p.a.ce and breath the same air with gold diggers..." Yeri nonchalantly told Tristan and casually gaze at Lucia who suddenly halted her steps. "they disgust me!"
Shocked, Lucia stood there frozen and looked at Tristan pityfully with teary-eyes hoping to hear him defend her but to Lucia"s dismay, Tristan just frowned till the elevator door close.
Last thing she saw is Yeri smirking at her.
It was ony then that Lucia recovered, she looked around to check if someone saw her embarra.s.sing moment, luckily there were roughly 4-5 employees left who seemed unaware of what just happened.
She clenched her hands out of anger and frustration, "b.i.t.c.h! trying to act high and mighty when she"s just another toy of Tristan! dont provoke you? hah! you just provoke me youll see!" Lucia cursed inwardly.
Although she isn"t wealthy, Lucia has a lot of connections and powerful men she slept with. She also don"t think Tristan would really care much about the b.i.t.c.h, she"s just one of his collection anyway.
Lucia angrily went to her department still thinking of her revenge, she have never been insulted like that before and felt so wronged.

Meanwhile at the elevator
"Sheri what just happened? did i missed something interesting?" Tristan amusedly asked.
"nothing, just being nice to your employee." Yeri boredly replied.
"don"t be stingy Sheri! common tell me!" Tristan insisted.
Tristan might be a womanizer but it is his rule not to have any relationship with someone at work plus he have confident with his insights towards women thus his aware of Lucia"s personality but as long as this will not affect her work, Tristan don"t care at all.
He playfully ruffled Yeri"s hair like a brother proud of his sister, with Yeri"s strong personality, he can be at ease that she wont be bullied once the Keirs found out her existence.
"don"t touch my hair!" Yeri slapped Tristan"s hand.
"dont worry brat, even with a nest hair Shin will still love you." Tristan teasingly respond.
