When I left my father's place, I took home a tender document for a resort project and studied it carefully. Winning this project would be my biggest bargaining chip to seize Henry's company. Although Henry was the legal person of the company, the initial capital for registering the company came from my dowry - borrowed from my parents. As the company gradually expanded, the shareholders changed from just me and Henry to multiple people.

Before returning the car to Henry , I stuck a listening device under his seat. Two days later, I returned to the company. Except for Joyce , everyone warmly welcomed my return. I selected several capable people who had worked with me before to form a special team to study the resort project.

When I stood in front of the smart conference tablet in the office again and kept switching and outputting my overall plan and key opinions on this project, I found that Henry 's eyes were getting brighter and brighter when he looked at me. Joyce, who had been waiting outside the meeting room, became anxious when she saw all this. She came in to refill Henry's coffee, asked him what lunch he ordered, and told him about his schedule for two days. As the president's wife, she didn't even pour me a glass of water!

When Henry was sitting, she leaned over to his ear, covered her chest with her palm to prevent exposure, and reported to him in a low voice. Every time she came in, she would interrupt our discussion, which was very annoying. We are all people who work hard and grit our teeth watching them whisper. And Joyce would look at me provocatively before leaving every time, looking very proud.

Everyone present was a smart person. Seeing the scene in front of them, their faces turned black and they all turned their eyes to me secretly. But I just focused on the documents in my hand as if nothing had happened.

When Joyce pushed open the door of the conference room for the sixth time, Charles, who was presenting his ideas , finally couldn't help but slammed the table and immediately attracted the attention of some colleagues outside. He pointed at Joyce and said angrily: " Henry, I have a small suggestion! Can you let her not enter the conference room again? It really affects the quality of the meeting!"

Joyce's eyes instantly turned red when she was suddenly called out, and she said aggrievedly: "I, I am just reporting my work normally, I didn't expect to disturb you..."

I looked up at Henry and said sarcastically, "The company holds important meetings and no outsiders are allowed to enter. I thought this rule was cancelled after I left. Or does Henry 's secretary have any special privileges?" Henry smiled at me awkwardly and said, "That's not the case."

"That's good." I continued, "Joyce, right? If you have nothing to do, go and count what everyone wants for afternoon tea. I'll treat you."

Joyce looked at me in disbelief and said, "What? You want me to order afternoon tea for everyone? But, these are things that the administration department should do."

She is Henry's secretary and has always been looked up to in the company. When has she ever dealt with grassroots employees?

"Can't you even do this?" I asked.

Joyce bit her lower lip angrily and turned her eyes to Henry for help. Henry looked at me for a while and adjusted his sitting position before speaking to Joyce: "Okay, you go out and finish what Serena asked you to do. I'll talk about other things after the meeting."

Joyce walked out of the meeting room with tears in her eyes. More and more people looked into the meeting room. Even if they couldn't hear the voices inside, they could guess what was going on based on what they saw. When Joyce lowered her status to count the afternoon tea, her arrogant behavior in the meeting room could no longer be hidden.

To outsiders, this was undoubtedly the president's wife standing up for Charles and giving the president's secretary a small lesson for not knowing the rules. No matter where you are, there are always people who are happy to flatter the powerful and bully the weak. Even without my instructions, Joyce's life in the future will not be any better than before.
