Chapter 772 Mavis's Secret Was Discovered

In the morning, the scattered sun rays shone through the floor-to-ceiling window, through the white lace curtains, and landed softly on the rose-gold carpet.

Bianca woke up from her dreams. She habitually reached out, but there was no one lying next to her.

She was all alone in the spacious bedroom.

She stretched and yawned lazily before glancing at the clock on the wall. It was half-past eight.

Bianca felt a little frustrated. She used to wake up at six o'clock, but ever since Luke returned, she stopped going to work, and she might have become lazy after staying at home for so long.

She got out of bed and drew the curtains. She was putting on her clothes when she heard a soft rustle.

A small piece of notepaper fell from the bedside table to the carpet. It was very eye-catching under the morning sunlight.

She picked up the note and read it.

Tm off to work, baby. Sleep a little while more. The caretaker has already prepared breakfast, and I've placed it in the warmer. If you want to heat it up, the caretaker can do it for you. Love you. -L"

Bianca could not help but chuckle as she looked at the elegant cursive handwriting.

She was the one who taught him how to leave notes. Luke had never left a note for her when they started living together, but after Bianca did that to him for a while, he started leaving notes too.

The grudge between them had disappeared completely. What was left was the lingering warmth of love.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Bianca carefully placed the note in a sandalwood box and went to the bathroom to wash up.

She looked at the mirror after she washed her face. She used to look haggard and pale, but now color had returned to her face. The love bites on her neck were a trademark of Luke's love for her.

Bianca could not help but touch herself in the mirror. She felt happy and content.

She remembered someone said, "When a man loves a woman, she will become beautiful."

After breakfast, Bianca went to her new company.

Now that she had her own business, she could not afford to be lazy.

Meanwhile, Sue felt rather awkward when she faced Nina because of what she overheard the night before.

She soon managed to regain her composure and treat Nina normally.

Nina had always been extroverted. She did not notice anything different about Sue.

After they had breakfast, Sue and Nina hurriedly went to T Corporation for work.

Nina did not give up on her career even after her sugar daddy pampered her with riches. She was not as capable as the elites in T Corporation, but being occupied with work gave her fewer opportunities to overthink.

When Nina arrived at her cubicle, she received an order from Mavis." Transfer!"

Mavis's assistant had passed her the order to transfer.

Nina was confused when she saw the letter of transfer that Mavis's assistant brought her. She narrowed her gaze. "Does Ms. Laviere want to transfer me to another department? What's the reason

for that?"

Her eyes opened wide in disbelief when she read the letter carefully and saw that she was to be transferred to a remote branch in the northwestern region of the country.

She had always been devoted to her tasks. Even though she was not good enough to be promoted, her performance was considered passable. That should not have earned her a transfer to a remote corner of the country!

"Don't be too surprised, Ms. Langdon.” Mavis's assistant remained impassive. Snowdon District might be a little far from where you are now, but your salary and allowances will be doubled. Your rank in the company will be higher too."

Nina's eyes opened wider. "That might be true, but shouldn't higher management ask me if I want the transfer in the first place? As far as I know, T Corporation always tried to locate employees closest to their hometowns, and they would ask for the employees' consent before transferring. Why was I not consulted before the decision was made?"

Doubling one's salary and being promoted might be a good thing to other people, but Nina was not ambitious. All she wanted was to maintain her position.

She did not want to transfer to that remote region. There were no friends or relatives there, and she would not be used to the environment.

"Doesn't matter what you say; this is Ms. Laviere's orders. If you don't wish to be transferred to Snowdon District, you can negotiate with Ms. Laviere. I'm only here to deliver the letter to you," the assistant said impassively.

Then, she walked away.

Somehow, all of Ms. Laviere's assistants had that cold and distant personality. Nina did not know if they were born that way or if they were affected by their superior.

Nina frowned as she looked at the letter of transfer in her hand.

She did not wish to be relocated to that remote place.

She might not be on speaking terms with her mother, but she had an amicable relationship with her father. Unfortunately, her father's health was failing, though she could visit him relatively frequently from A City.

If she moved to Snowdon District, she might only be able to return home once or twice every year.

Her brother was still in prison. If she moved far away, her father would be very sad.

She considered her options for a while before deciding to go to Mavis's office. There might be a chance that Mavis might rescind that decision.

Nina saw that the door to Mavis's office was ajar. She reached out to knock on the door, but her foot slipped, and she barged in through the door!

At that moment, the usually cold and aloof Mavis Laviere was staring obsessively at a photo and kissing it, as though the photo was a priceless treasure. It was quite an uncanny sight.

Mavis was shocked when she saw Nina suddenly appear in her office.

The photo slipped from her fingers, floated away, and landed about five feet away from Nina.

Nina glanced at the photo out of curiosity. She was shocked to find the man in the photo was...

Their CEO.

Mavis quickly picked up the photo. Her face was ashen.

Her subordinate had discovered her deepest, darkest secret. How she wished that she could gouge Nina's eyes!
