Chapter 7 Choose Sides
Tianna went back to the family estate and then learned from Alfred that Gordon had gone abroad on a business trip.
No one was there nagging her, and she felt quite good about it. She found a TV show starring Matthew and enjoyed it while eating.
Soon, she turned off the TV in disgust and texted Matthew, “Matthew, your acting is terrible.”
Matthew soon texted her back, “Get outta here. What do you know?”
She chuckled while holding her phone. A few seconds later, another message popped out
Breeze texted her. “I got the word out yesterday that you were back, and my phone’s been ringing off the hook. I’ve picked three patients you might be interested in and sent their cases to you via email. Take a look.”
- B. replied, “OK.”
She opened her email, checked all those three cases, and texted Breeze back, “Go with the one in Ridgedale. I don’t need to go out of town.”
The surgical difficulty of the three cases was more or less the same for her. It was just that the other two patients were in other towns, and she didn’t feel like traveling that far recently.
Breeze replied, “OK. I’ll make the arrangements.”
After deciding on her first surgery after her return, she didn’t continue to be on her phone on the couch. Instead, she went to the study and started to read the latest literature related to medicine.
Chapter 7 Choose Side
She specialized in cardiothoracic surgery, but most of the time, she preferred knowing a bit about every other field. That was how things work in the medical field. One must keep up with the times, or their skills would quickly become outdated.
It wasn’t until midnight that she stopped. She stretched and headed back. to her bedroom.
Before going to sleep, she checked her phone out of habit and noticed a friend request.
The person didn’t leave a name, and all she saw was a username, L. W. She ignored the request as friending strangers wasn’t something she’d do.
She fell asleep quickly. On the other end, Levi was in his study holding a document while staring at his phone.
It had been almost two hours since he sent Tianna the friend request, but she still didn’t have a response.
He had no choice but to send the request again. This time, he put his
name in the notes.
Yesterday, Tianna proved to Evelyn that she wasn’t to be messed with. So, when she arrived at work today, Evelyn didn’t give her a hard time. Instead. Evelyn seemed to be avoiding her.
Even so, Tianna found it inappropriate to sit around while doing nothing. She went to Evelyn and asked, “Ms. Rivera, is there anything you need me to do today?”
“Not at all. You…”
Evelyn wanted to tell Tianna to sit back and relax. However, she was quickly silenced by Tianna’s gaze. She swallowed and said, “You may

start by making some copies for me.”
“Sure.” Tianna extended her hand, motioning for Evelyn to hand over the
documents.
Evelyn obediently handed over the documents in a complicated mood and watched as Tianna took them to the copy room.
“Ms. Rivera, after what she did to you yesterday, why are you still treating her so nicely? I think you should teach her a lesson.” Evelyn’s lackey couldn’t help but say. She had never seen Evelyn being so good- tempered with anyone except Randall.
Evelyn glared at her and snapped, “What the heck do you know?”
Tianna soon finished copying the files and gave them back to Evelyn. Then she waited for her next assignment.
Evelyn genuinely was at a loss about what to assign Tianna. She didn’t want to offend Tianna, less Cohen.
Noticing Evelyn’s hesitation, Tianna smiled and said sarcastically, “Ms. Rivera, what changed overnight? You seem like a different person today.”
Evelyn didn’t say anything.
“Give me a reason.” Tianna leaned forward and looked into Evelyn’s eyes. Overwhelmed by her domineering aura, Evelyn didn’t dare to lie at all.
She swallowed and said tentatively, “It’s my fault yesterday. I know you’re the bigger person. Please don’t hold it against me.”
“Oh? That depends on your performance.” Tianna didn’t agree at once; she was more certain that Evelyn definitely knew something.
“You know… I was at the Radiance Hotel yesterday, too. I was in charge of logistics for the banquet,” Evelyn spoke cautiously, observing Tianna’s expression.

Sensing no change in Tianna’s expression, she was slightly relieved. “Don’t worry. I’m tight–lipped and won’t tell anyone about your relationship with Mr. Hudson.”
“Oh? What do you think my relationship with Mr. Hudson is?” Tianna asked with a half–smile, which terrified Evelyn even more.
She trembled slightly, not daring to answer at all. Seeing this, Tianna chuckled and didn’t press further. “Your speculation isn’t entirely right. But Mr. Hudson and I are indeed on the same side.”
It was just that their relationship wasn’t what outsiders assumed.
But of course, she wouldn’t explain it to Evelyn. She continued, “So, why do you think he sent me to the Purchasing Department?”
Evelyn was stunned. She looked up at Tianna while several guesses flashed across her mind, but she denied them all. “I don’t know.”
“Oh, but you do.” Tianna could tell from Evelyn’s flickering gaze that she knew something. Evelyn just didn’t dare to say it out loud.
She patted Evelyn’s shoulder and smiled, “At least you should know one thing. There’s a reason I came to this department. At such a critical juncture, make sure you choose the right side. Think carefully before you. make a decision.”
Evelyn lowered her head and bit her lip, not daring to speak.
Tianna didn’t urge her, knowing she needed time.
Saying nothing more, Tianna turned back to her desk, leaving Evelyn standing in situ, lost in thought.
In fact, Tianna was right–Evelyn did know something. After all, she had spent years in the Purchasing Department and had managed to be the team leader. To put it bluntly, she was on Randall’s side.

Chapter 7 Choose Sides
So, of course, she wasn’t clueless about what he had been up to.
But she was genuinely surprised that the higher–ups were about to take action against him, not to mention they had sent a woman to do it.
She was torn. If she didn’t side with Tianna, once Randall was taken. down, would she be implicated?
But if she sided with Tianna, what if Randall wasn’t taken down? He had been with the company for so many years, and she didn’t need to think to know there had been someone backing him up.
While she was in a dilemma, Randall called her into his office. After quite a while, she came out. When she looked at Tianna, there was something complicated in her eyes.
“Tianna. Mr. Duarte wants you to negotiate the procurement price for the new season with the CEO of Welkin Group. He demands a one percent reduction from the original price.” Evelyn came to Tianna and relayed Randall’s orders to her.
Hearing this, those around Tianna were in an uproar.
“The CEO of Welkin Group? That notorious lecher?”
“I thought we weren’t collaborating with him this season. How come…”
Their voices gradually trailed off as they realized one thing.
Randall was deliberately making things difficult for Tianna.
While disgusted by Randall’s decision, they felt helpless as there was nothing they could do. No one could afford to mess with him, their superior.
Tianna herself wasn’t surprised to hear this. Given what happened last night at the banquet, there was no way Randall would let her off the hook.
Chapter 7 Choose Sides
On the surface, it was just a normal work assignment. Randall probably thought that even if she went to Cohen and tattled on him, she couldn’t. find fault with him..
“Sure. I’ll get it done.” she smiled and nodded, looking confident.
Seeing her like this, the others felt sorry for her, figuring that she was obviously clueless about the misery awaiting her.
