Tears streamed down my face. I could no longer hold my emotions back.
“Why are you here?!” Samuel’s voice suddenly resounded from the door.
He froze when he saw my tears.
When he tried to explain, hurried footsteps sounded not too far away.
I looked over and saw Mia rushing over.
Her gaze landed on the work ID I held in my hand, and she instinctively looked at Samuel.
Samuel said nothing. He just pursed his lips as he stood there.
Mia instantly teared up as though she had never been ignored by Samuel in this way before.
“I’m sorry, but that work ID belongs to me. Could you return it?”
I snickered. “Your office table is right here. Why should I give it back to you?”
I put the work ID back on the office table.
“Dawn, don’t cross the line.” Suddenly, Samuel spoke up.
There was a warning look in his eyes, as if he was displeased because I was being “unreasonable”.
I looked at him in surprise. I was crossing the line?
When Mia saw that Samuel was protecting her, she smiled, but she still tried to look pitiful.
“Samuel, don’t be angry at her. She doesn’t know what happened.”
Then, she walked to me, as if she wanted to offer an explanation about the whole thing.
Her words only proved that my assumptions were right.
“I came here to work because I was in trouble…”
“That’s enough. You don’t have to say anything to her.” Samuel scowled. “You were hired through proper procedures. She can’t do anything about it.”
I sneered at that.
Based on the information I got from a private detective, Mia was just an undergraduate from an ordinary university that was not even ranked among the top universities in the country.
Samuel’s company was supposed to only hire those who were postgraduates.
When I asked him to hire me, he had refused and used that exact excuse.
