?<strong>Chapter 627:</strong>


    Mia escorted Eva back to her office and mmed the door shut behind them. She couldn’t contain her frustration and snapped, “What’s wrong with you? Have you lost your mind? If you don’t want to work here, just leave. Don’t act like a slut in the office!”


    Eva’s face soured. “Why are you being so harsh? How could you call me a slut?”


    Observing Eva’s defiant stance, Mia took a deep breath, trying to calm her rising anger.


    When Mia looked up again, her eyes were devoid of any emotion. She stated firmly, “I suggest you let go of those stupid fantasies.


    That woman is Mr. Owen’s wife. You saw it for yourself. He even called several of us executives into his office just to appease her.”


    Mia’s tone grew colder as she continued, “This time, Mrs. Owen let the matter slide. But if she had decided to pursue it, do you think you’d still be here arguing with me?”


    Eva’s confidence wavered, her previous arrogance diminishing as she guarded her true thoughts and responded, “Mia, you’ve got it wrong. I didn’t mean anything by it. It’s all just a big misunderstanding.”


    Mia knew exactly what was going through Eva’s mind and replied icily, “Regardless of what you im, you’re not handling any important documents anymore. Consider this a warning and stop daydreaming.”


    Eva immediately bristled at the restriction. “If you stop me from taking documents upstairs, who else will do it?”


    Mia scoffed. “Do you think you’re the only secretary at Bayzee Group? Eva, don’t say I didn’t warn you. Mr. Owen is not someone to mess with. You’d better focus on your work and keep your personal thoughts to yourself, or I can’t promise what might happen to you.”


    Eva clenched her jaw and said reluctantly, “I understand.”


    She then turned to leave in her high heels.


    “Wait,” Mia’s eyes narrowed as she looked at Eva’s outfit, focusing on her thighs and waist. “Starting tomorrow, you are not allowed to wear those outfits.”


    Eva’s expression darkened significantly. She shot back, “I have the right to dress how I want. You can’t control what I wear.”


    Mia responded slowly, “Everyone is free to dress as they please, and employees can wear their favorite outfits to work. However, I won’t tolerate anyone dressed like a whore for the workce.”


    Fuming, Eva snapped, “You’re attacking me. You’re ndering and hurting me.”


    Mia retorted, “So? If you’re offended, feel free to file aint against me. We’ll see who is forced out of thepany first—you or me.”


    Eva tried to argue further, but Mia cut her off calmly, “If you want to keep your job, I suggest you go back to work now and take the consequences. Otherwise, I will have to dismiss you on behalf of Mrs. Owen.”


    Overwhelmed, Eva left the office, tears in her eyes.


    As she exited, she noticed the other secretaries watching her. She had a good idea why they were staring.


    Eva bit her lip in frustration and snapped, “What are you all staring at? Don’t you have anything better to do?”


    The other secretaries exchanged looks and then giggled behind their hands.


    Feeling humiliated by their reaction, Eva impulsively rushed out and headed to the coffee shop on the first floor.


    Half an hourter, with a coffee in hand, Eva slowly calmed down. She nced up and noticed Elyse entering the coffee shop.


    Elyse looked expressionless, her soft long hair cascading over her shoulders. She wasn’t dressed in tight clothes, yet her presence was strikingly beautiful and alluring. She was Jayden’s wife.


    This thought soured Eva’s mood further. She had been enamored with Jayden since her first day at thepany.


    Jayden wasposed and confident. His approach to business was bold yet meticulous, and he tackled problems decisively. He also maintained a professional distance from women.


    Eva grew more convinced that Jayden was a man of high caliber, and she was resolved to capture his affection. However, today’spany chat was abuzz with news that Jayden’s wife was visiting thepany.


    Eva felt her world shattering. When had the man she admired gotten married? She hadn’t even made her move yet.


    Determined to see it for herself, Eva had grabbed Lewis’s document and made her way to the CEO’s office.


    Upon opening the door, she was confronted with the most heartbreaking scene she had ever witnessed. Jayden and his wife were kissing. That calm and dignified man was tenderly holding another woman’s face, kissing her. Eva found this utterly unbearable.


    The thought made Eva feel like her head was about to burst. How could the man she adored be kissing—


    Rising from her seat with her coffee, Eva approached Elyse.


    Elyse, having just ordered her coffee, sensed someone next to her and looked up.
