The implication was that Sandra had crossed a line.
The colleagues, who were watching the fun scene, grinned.
Sandra loved to show off. Some people flattered her, while some waited to laugh at her.
Sandra shot Stella a displeased look. “Stella, I know you are jealous, but this is how things work. Connections are resources. So, I advise you not to waste time and to spend more time with
your mom.”
Stella stood up with a cup and said, “We will see if I have wasted time at the last minute. Excuse me!”
She pushed Sandra away, went to get herself a cup of coffee, and stood in the break room, looking into the distance.
Honestly, Stella was anxious. Sandra had the support of her uncle and was one step ahead of her in everything. But Stella had nothing and must work harder to win the cooperation.
While thinking, Stella finished the coffee in one gulp to refresh herself and prepared to meet Isaac in person.
But unexpectedly, Sandra got ahead again.

At noon, Stella continued calling Isaac from the Dalla

Technology Group, but no one answered. Isaac seemed to avoid. her deliberately.
At this time, Sandra walked in carrying a large designer bag with a smug look.
She made such a loud noise, but she still pretended to feel sorry and said, “I’m sorry. Did I disturb you? How about I invite you to coffee today?”
Everyone didn’t care about the coffee, and their eyes were attracted to her designer bag.
“Sandra, what is this?” Someone asked.
“It’s the gift from Mr. Griffin. I didn’t want it, but he insisted. After all, he is our client. I couldn’t refuse, but I have so many bags.”
Despite those words, Sandra quickly opened the box and took out the bag under everyone’s envious gazes.
“Oh, dear. It’s a limited edition and costs 24 thousand dollars each! Did Mr. Griffin just give it to you?” A colleague who knew luxury goods said loudly.
“It’s not expensive,” Sandra said.
Then, she casually put her handbag on her arm and turned around.

In the end, Sandra came in front of Stella and asked, “Stella, does it look good?”

“Yes,” Stella smiled and reminded her kindly, “Sandra, as a potential partner, the company stipulates that you cannot accept or give gifts. Besides, Mr. Griffin is married.”
Several colleagues who didn’t like Sandra sneered, and some married women rolled their eyes.
They couldn’t bear that their husbands treated a woman to dinner and even gave her a bag worth tens of thousands of dollars.
Sandra gritted her teeth and said, “Stella, you get me wrong. Mr. Griffin and I are friends, and this is a gift he gave me.”
“A gift?” Stella asked.
Everyone looked at Sandra meaningfully.
Sandra didn’t know Isaac the day before yesterday, but she said they were friends today, and Isaac even gave her an expensive bag. They must have slept with each other.
Sandra’s friends in the company immediately defended her.
“Are you jealous of Sandra? Since Mr. Griffin gave her a gift, he must want to keep a good relationship with her. Some people want this kind of connection, but they can’t.”

“That’s right. If you don’t have connections or resources, you can only work hard to write plans. How can you help the company get cooperation so easily like Sandra?”
Sandra waved her hands and said, “Stella also works hard. Please don’t say that about her. We both work for the company, but unfortunately, her efforts will be in vain this time. I will treat everyone kindly in the future.”
According to her words, Sandra had treated herself as a superior.
After speaking, she glanced at Stella proudly.
Stella asked calmly, “When will Mr. Griffin sign the contract with you?”
“What?” Sandra was surprised.
“Didn’t you say that my efforts will be in vain? You must have reached an agreement, right?” Stella said.
“Mr. Griffin said he would go back and report to his company first. After all, it is an important cooperation,” Sandra said.
“Well, so he hasn’t agreed to sign a contract with you, right?”
Sandra was speechless.
Suddenly, Sandra’s cell phone rang. Picking up the phone with relief, she took a look at it and immediately smiled.

She shook her phone at Stella. “Stella, it seems that you have no chance this time. My uncle said that Mr. Griffin likes me very much and said that he would introduce me to the boss of the Dalla Technology Group.”
Before Stella could speak, the colleagues gathered around Sandra and started talking.
“The boss of the Dalla Technology Group? Is he the most discussed person in Cutas right now?”
“Who is he? He is so mysterious. I heard that many big shots want to get to know him.”
“Sandra, you are going to be famous. Not only will you get a promotion and a salary increase, but you will also meet such a powerful person.”
Hearing the flattery of the colleagues, Sandra looked at Stella with more contempt.
Stella was a little shocked. Sandra didn’t even come up with a plan. How could she meet the boss of the Dalla Technology Group?
Pressing her lips, Stella felt unhappy, but she didn’t want to give up halfway.
Ignoring the noise, she continued to sort out the information on the Dalla Technology Group.
At four o’clock in the afternoon, Stella left the company carly on

the pretext of visiting a client.
Following the address, she came downstairs to the Dalla Technology Group.

Although Stella knew that the Dalla Technology Group was very powerful, it was only when she saw the building in front of her that she realized why so many people wanted to know the boss of the Dalla Technology Group.
This was the center business district of Cutas, and the land here was very expensive.
Looking at the white–collar workers walking by, Stella knew they were not on the same level, and she could tell that even a receptionist here dressed more expensively than her.
However, to get promoted, Stella would try her best.
She straightened her skirt and walked towards the building, but the security guard stopped her.
“Who are you looking for? Do you have an appointment?”
“I’m looking for Mr. Griffin from the Dalla Technology Group, but I don’t have an appointment. Can you please let me in?” Stella said politely.
“No, you are not allowed in here without an appointment.” The security guard blocked Stella.
Stella took several steps back with a smile. “Sir, I don’t want to

make it difficult for you. Can you please tell Mr. Griffin that I’m
here?”
The security guard looked at Stella and then at the bright sun above his head, thinking, “If she falls here due to heatstroke, it will be my dereliction of duty.
Besides, it isn’t troublesome to make a phone call.”
“Wait a moment.” He turned around and called the receptionist upstairs.
“Thanks.” As Stella was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she saw her red face and messy hair on the glass, which looked embarrassing.
She quickly took out the spare cosmetics from her bag.
Because she didn’t like to wear makeup, most of her cosmetics were samples sent by Christina, and they were convenient to
carry.
Stella wiped her face with a wet tissue and then put on makeup.
She was very focused, so she didn’t notice that the elevator door in the lobby opened.
In the elevator, Nathaniel frowned slightly as he looked at Stella.
Seeing Stella, Carlos immediately explained, “The receptionist said she was here looking for Mr. Griffin. Mr. Griffin said that he was pestered by a woman from the Woya Company yesterday. I

didn’t expect that she would chase him to the company.”
Hearing Carlos‘ words, Nathaniel showed a cold face.
He thought, “Stella starts to pester Isaac because she failed to take shortcuts through me.
Her mind is full of bad ideas. Is this how she works at the Woya Company?
Does she put on makeup especially to meet Isaac?”
