Chapter 4 You’re So Pathetic
As Tianna was about to get off work, Gordon texted her, asking her to attend a banquet hosted by Radiance Group in the evening. He mentioned it’d be a great chance for her to meet some of the company’s long–term clients.
She replied with an “OK“, and in the next second, she suddenly saw a stack of documents on her desk.
“Input all the data into the computer. Then make a spreadsheet and send it to me.” Evelyn said arrogantly, her gaze falling on Tianna and then the phone in Tianna’s hand. “Oh, and you’re playing with your phone during work hours? That’s a 20–dollar fine.”
Tianna was amused. She put her phone away and asked, “Are there any company rules that say we can’t use our phones during work hours?”
“You…” Evelyn was stunned and annoyed that a newbie was bold enough to talk back. “I’m your superior, I call the shots.”
Tianna retorted. “Too bad I don’t work for you, and I’m not on your payroll. You don’t call the shots.”
There were two reasons why Tianna chose to start from the bottom. For one thing, she could quickly get a grasp of Radiance Group’s internal situation. For another, she wanted to find out who was causing trouble within the group.
Alyvia acted so arrogantly in front of her. Coupled with Alyvia’s sports car, her designer clothes, and stuff like that, it was obvious that Randall had been engaging in some shady dealings.
Tianna suspected Randall, so she chose to be an intern at the Purchasing

Department. But it didn’t mean she’d let Evelyn treat her unfairly.
Evelyn was so furious that her face turned livid. Gritting her teeth, she pointed at those documents on Tianna’s desk. “You must send it to me within today, or forget about leaving!”
Tianna didn’t say anything at once. She quickly flipped through the documents and then scoffed, looking up at Evelyn. “Did Alyvia put you up to this? She asked you to find fault with me, right?”
“You… What are you talking about? I’m just assigning work to you.” Evelyn’s eyes darted away, she was so nervous that she didn’t dare to look into Tianna’s eyes.
“Those files are from three years ago, and you want me to organize them. now? Do you think I’m a fool or what?” Obviously, Evelyn was making things difficult for her, and she wouldn’t put up with it.
Evelyn’s expression froze slightly. Yet she still stubbornly said, “So what if they’re from three years ago? I need them now.”
Tianna sneered, glanced at the time, packed up her stuff, and stood up. “Time to clock out. See you tomorrow, Ms. Rivera.”
“Tianna!” Evelyn roared angrily. “Try and leave now. Believe it or not, I’ll have Mr. Duarte fire you!”
“Oh. really? Go ahead then.”
Standing in front of Evelyn, Tianna tidied the wispy hairs on Evelyn’s forehead and said softly, “See who gets fired first–you or me.‘
It was completely silent in the spacious office of the Purchasing Department.
It was already time to get off work, but no one left. Everyone remained in their scats, their eyes wide with shock.

They were thinking the same thing–Tianna, the new intern, had some balls to talk to Evelyn like this.
Tianna was so calm, and her aura was quite overwhelming, and Evelyn. was immediately at a disadvantage.
Evelyn looked at her, not even daring to say a word for a moment.
Alyvia’s earlier words echoed in her mind. Tianna got the internship through connections, which meant someone had Tianna’s back. Now that Tianna dared to act so boldly, it meant her backer was a bigwig.
In just a few minutes, Evelyn’s expression changed several times, which was impressive.
Tianna noticed Evelyn’s sour expression and was greatly satisfied. She patted Evelyn on the shoulder and said, “Ms. Rivera, you’re a smart person. Just make sure you pick the right side.”
With that, she picked up her bag and left.
Walking out of the group building, she got into the car that came to pick her up and said to the driver, “Go home first.”
In the next second. Melvin called, and she frowned at his name on the
screen.
“Tianna, have some shame, OK? How could you bear to seduce a man as old as your dad? Exactly how shameless are you?” Melvin’s angry voice came through as soon as she answered.
She was never a good–tempered person and only put up with Melvin in the past for Layton’s sake.
Yet Layton had already passed away, and she was no longer married to Melvin. Why would she hold back any longer?
“Melvin, you sure have a foul mouth on you.
“I’m shameless? Oh, I’m nothing compared to you. You sell yourself in order to get a deal with Radiance Group. You’re so pathetic.
“And you’ve got some nerve cursing at me. You know what? You don’t even get to say my name.
“You piece of shit.”
With that, she hung up the phone and blocked and deleted his number. Only then did she feel slightly better.
On the contrary, Melvin, whose call was hung up, fumed.
It never occurred to him that one day, she’d talk to him like this. In the past. she always wore a smile whenever she saw him. Yet now, they had just divorced, and she was like an entirely different person. She had some. balls!
Just as he was wondering whether he should get someone to get Tianna back and teach her a lesson, Alyvia came out of the fitting room. “Melvin. how do I look in this?”
“You look amazing.” he said perfunctorily, and she keenly noticed.
She walked over and looked at him unhappily. “Melvin, don’t brush me off. I’m not Tianna.”
Tianna again!
Even hearing her name pissed Melvin off.
“Do I need to remind you that tonight’s banquet is hosted by Radiance Group? All the guests there are higher–ups and clients. If you can’t grasp the chance and impress my dad, he’s not gonna let me marry you,” noticing how absent–minded Melvin was, she couldn’t help but remind him.
Her words finally calmed Melvin down. Taking a deep breath, he said,
Chapter Your Petc
“Don’t worry. I’ll bring out my best.”
As he said, he thought, “I shouldn’t let Tianna get under my skin. Instead, what I should do is focus entirely on Alyvia. After all, she can bring me far more than what Tianna can offer.
“Take tonight’s banquet for example, if I hadn’t divorced Tianna, I wouldn’t even have the qualification to attend today’s banquet.”
His anger was gradually replaced by calmness.
Anyway, he had plenty of chances to deal with Tianna. The future was long.
