I was so furious I felt my heart nearly stop—until I realized my medicine had been replaced with effervescent tablets.
As I was being loaded into the ambulance, I saw Emily pouting in Nathaniel Pierce’s arms.
“Sister always looks so gloomy. I just wanted to give her some Vitamin C for whitening.”
When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day the jade bracelet had been repaired.
——
Emily was greedily playing with it.
“Vivian, why don’t you just give it to me? You can make a fake for the client…”
Before she could finish, I snatched it and locked it securely in the safe.
“No!”
She tilted her head, confused.
“If it’s not okay, then why not?”
I didn’t waste time answering and pointed toward the door.
“Emily, grab your bag and leave.”
She blinked.
“Huh? I don’t understand.”
I took a deep breath and motioned to my assistant to keep an eye on the bracelet. Then, frowning, I pushed Emily out the door.
“You’re fired!”
She froze for a moment, then recovered and clung to the doorframe.
“Nathaniel sent me here to intern and learn! You’re kicking me out after just half an hour. How am I supposed to learn?”
“Slap!”
I struck the back of her hand.
