Chapter 416

Aвтор: Cloud Drop
Mandy wanted nothing more than to slap Mr. Libson across the face and storm out with a dramatic, “Fine—I quit!”

But she didn’t dare.

She wasn’t as lucky as Aria. She didn’t have someone like Archer backing her.

If only... If only Archer had been her boyfriend, what would she have had to be afraid of?

But that wasn’t the case. So she clenched her jaw, swallowed back her tears, and forced herself to pack up her things, crying silently as she worked.

When she finally stood up to leave, it felt like everyone in the office was watching her, mocking her. People who used to joke around with her, who’d once seemed like friends—now their gazes were cold, even contemptuous.

Mandy bit down on her lip and walked out without a word, shoulders trembling.

Mr. Libson let out a heavy sigh and turned to Aria with a look of concern. “Are you alright?”

Aria gave a tired shake of her head. “I’m fine.”

“That’s good. Mandy... she wasn’t thinking clearly. Don’t take it to heart,” he said carefully, t

    “Let go of me,” Aria said sharply.But Mark wouldn’t. “No. Tell me—what other reason could there be for him suddenly transferring me overseas?”“Maybe it’s because you won’t stop harassing me,” Aria shot back coldly. “Or maybe Fifi begged him to give you a promotion.”She let out a derisive laugh. “Isn’t that what you came to the Duncan family for in the first place? A better title, a better future. Well, congratulations. You got exactly what you wanted. And now you’re spinning conspiracy theories? Aren’t you tired?“Mark, he’s already given you a promotion. Why are you still clinging to me? Just let me go.”Mark clenched his jaw, refusing to release her. “What will it take for you to believe me?”Aria’s expression turned icy. “After everything you and your mother did—spreading those disgusting rumors about me online—you think I’d ever trust a word from you and your family again?”She glanced at him with disgust. “This is a workplace. Maybe try acting like you still have some di

    Aria stood up and gave a cold, scornful laugh. “You’ve got it all wrong. I’m not cold because I’m angry. I’m cold because I don’t respect you. That’s not ‘caring,’ Mark—it’s called disdain. If I hated you because I cared, trust me, I’d be showing it very differently.“The way I treat you now? It’s the same way I’d treat any stranger I don’t owe anything to. This is just professionalism. If that makes you uncomfortable, too bad. I’m not going to change. Because the only person I care about now is Archer. I don’t want to give him even the slightest reason to feel uneasy just because I was polite to you.”She turned to leave. “And if dragging me here was just some excuse to talk about this, then I’m done.”As she moved toward the door, Mark suddenly stood, his chair screeching backward as it hit his leg. He leaned across the desk and grabbed her arm.“Aria, wait,” he said, gripping her wrist. “Alright, fine—I won’t talk about that anymore. Just sit down, please. There’s something impo

    Mandy was trembling now, her shoulders shaking as fat tears began to fall from her eyes.Aria stood up, voice cold. “Mandy, let’s get something straight. What do you mean I had you transferred? I don’t own this company. I have no authority here. I only found out about your reassignment from the same email as everyone else.“You haven’t been here long, and we barely know each other. So where exactly is all this hostility coming from? Don’t go blaming everything on me just because it’s convenient.”Mandy choked out, “Of course it was you! Mr. Libson said it himself—Archer forced him to do it! Why else would someone like him go after someone like me? You must’ve said something. Whispered God knows what into his ear. You’ve got him in the palm of your hand, and I have nothing. You already have everything, Aria. So why do you have to come after me too? Why are you doing this to me?”Aria stared at her, her voice low but biting. “You keep tossing accusations at me, but don’t you think yo

    “Why is it okay for Aria, but not for me?” Mandy snapped.Mr. Libson let out a short, mocking laugh. “Do you really think Aria was the one who went after Archer? That’s exactly what I mean when I say people have different fates. It was him who chose her.”He leaned back in his chair and continued, “You think our firm could’ve landed the Duncan Industries account on our own? He only handed us that deal because he knew Aria comes by to visit Christina often. That was his way of throwing us a bone.”“Because of Aria, Archer nearly shut Horizon down altogether. Do you really think a man like that is someone you can afford to provoke?” Mr. Libson’s tone turned colder. “If I hadn’t stepped in, you wouldn’t even have a job right now. With his connections, if he wanted to blacklist you from the industry, you wouldn’t get hired anywhere—no matter how qualified you are. You think you’d survive in this field?“I’m moving you to the engineering department to let things cool off. If Archer even

    Christina had a point. Aria nodded just as Mandy walked into the office, swiping her badge at the door. Aria and Christina quickly fell silent and pretended to focus on work.Still, they both kept sneaking glances at Mandy over their monitors, watching for any reaction. Mandy seemed to be in a great mood, humming to herself as she bent down to power up the desktop tower beneath her desk.A few moments later, her computer chimed with the startup sound. Aria and Christina leaned in slightly, eyes glued to her as she opened her email. They couldn’t see her face, but they could hear the rapid clicks of her mouse.Then suddenly, Mandy shot to her feet. Her face had gone pale with fury, and she stormed out of the office without a word.Aria and Christina looked at each other in surprise.Christina quietly rolled her chair over. “You think this might be Archer’s doing?”“What does this have to do with him?” Aria asked, confused.“You didn’t see it yesterday,” Christina said in a low vo
