Rosiley was still hospitalized that morning, so Sachin spent the entire morning by her side as well.
Seneca Yayoi came to visit in the afternoon. She said gravely, “I’ve got some good news and some bad news. Which one would you like to hear first?”
“Can’t you be nicer to a patient? Why must you even talk about bad news at this juncture?” Rosiley said as she glared at her friend. “Tell me the good news first.”
“You’ve been promoted to team leader.”
“Oh, then what about the bad news?”
“You’re still reporting to that b*tch Lonny,” Seneca Yayoi said darkly.
Rosiley paused for a moment before she asked wryly, “Why is this considered bad news? What’s wrong with that?”
Seneca Yayoi shook her head and her expression darkened with anger as she said, “I overheard Lonny’s phone conversation with Rorey today when I was in the break room. I discovered that it was Lonny’s idea to drug you last night.”
“What?” Rosiley exclaimed as she turned pale. “Are you sure?”
“Yes. I’m guessing that she probably felt resentful because you managed to score such an exclusive for the firm, so she joined forces with Rorey to bring you down.”
Rosiley’s expression darkened at Seneca Yayoi’s words and her eyes blazed with fury.
Sachin’s expression was even more terrifying. His expression had hardened into one of cold fury and Seneca Yayoi felt her skin crawl when she saw the look on his face.
He didn’t say anything, but instead, looked quietly at Rosiley and waited for her to come to a decision.
She spent some time mulling it over before she took a deep breath. She seemed to have made up her mind as she looked reassuringly at Sachin before she turned to Seneca Yayoi and said, “I’m rather interested in the Deputy Managing Director role. What do you say I assume that position myself?”
Seneca Yayoi froze and looked at Rosiley in disbelief before a look of pure joy spread through her eyes. She kept nodding as she said, “That’s great! You’re much more suited to be the Deputy Managing Director compared to Lonny! Rosiley, you’ve got guts! I’m cheering for you!”
“Don’t get ahead of yourself. It’s still a little too early for me to make my move.” Rosiley’s eyes narrowed and her eyes glinted dangerously.
Seneca Yayoi waved off her concern and said, “What do you have to be afraid of? Let’s take it slow if the timing isn’t right. That woman is so evil that we have to make her suffer and pay for her actions!”
“Exactly,” Rosiley said with a smile. She looked at Sachin and saw that he was looking at her as well. His lips curved into a small smile and he said, “Feel free to do whatever it is that you wish to do. I’ll always have your back.”
“OK,” Rosiley said with a smile.
Seneca Yayoi looked enviously at her friend when she witnessed this public display of affection.
This showed how important it was to choose the right man, and this time, Rosiley had clearly made the right choice.
After all, she didn’t recall Yunis ever making a similar promise!
Seneca Yayoi didn’t stay too long at the hospital and returned to the office after she left.
Rosiley was discharged that afternoon and went home to rest.
She went back to work the next day and spotted Lonny in the office.
Lonny put on a nonchalant facade as their eyes met. She was well aware of what had happened that night, but since Rorey was the only one who knew that she had suggested drugging Rosiley, she had nothing to fear.
She felt secure in the knowledge that she didn’t have to worry and was about to look away when she suddenly saw Rosiley smiling brightly at her.
That smile came out of nowhere and that enigmatic smile sent chills down her spine.
Her fear was evident in her eyes and her heart raced. She wondered if Rosiley had discovered that she had planted this idea in Rorey’s mind.
Rosiley calmly looked away and a wave of cold fury washed over her.
It was only a matter of time before she made Lonny pay!
Corey’s actions might have worked because Rorey was significantly quieter than before, and even Lonny didn’t pick on her during this period.
However, she knew very well that Rorey wasn’t one to take things lying down. There was no way that she wouldn’t try to seek revenge after being slapped.
She was soon proved right. Seneca Yayoi came back that afternoon after conducting an interview and said, “Rorey has been very active recently. I’m guessing that she will stage a comeback soon.”
“Oh? Is she planning to make a comeback so soon?” Rosiley said as she arched her brow and looked at Seneca Yayoi with interest.
“Yes, she terminated her contract with her previous agency two days ago and will sign with a new agency in the coming days. If I’m not wrong, the negotiations should’ve already been completed on the sly.”
Seneca Yayoi pursed her lips and her face clouded with worry.
She knew that once Rorey made a comeback, she would immediately target Rosiley, which didn’t bode well for her friend.
Rosiley remained unruffled and said calmly, “Do you know which agency she has been in touch with?”
