Chapter 497: Quiet Down
"I’m not. You are the one who’s a loser. Do you think Her Majesty would praise you for doing much more work than you should because you stole it from your workmates?" Denzel debated.
Narcissa and Denzel ended up debating and Nadia and Odette didn’t know what to do so they just remained silent so they would not get involved in the banter. They did not want to offend any of the two who had a much higher social status than they did.
But the Narcissa and Denzel were too noisy, and the others were visibly getting irritated.
"I didn’t steal it. I am simply helping them. I don’t see anything wrong with that," Narcissa countered.
"Did they ever ask you for help to do it? No, they didn’t. I never heard them say it. And they had been able to complete that much task on a daily basis before, so they could surely do it now as well. If you are making them leave it on purpose so you could get it for yourself, it’s the same as stealing it," Denzel defended his point.
[This Farrell bastard. He couldn’t just keep his mouth shut. He’s pretending to defend them when he just doesn’t want me to achieve more than he does. Well, he’s too late anyway. I already did a lot more work than anyone else ever since Ivan was gone and I made these two give me half of their work. I will rise as Her Majesty’s best assistant no matter what.] Narcissa thought.
Arabella blinked repeatedly as she realized that Denzel was right.
Narcissa was trying to do more work than she should have done because she wanted to be recognized as the most capable among all her assistants. She wanted to be the one closest and most trusted by Arabella.
But Narcissa’s actions ruined that instead.
’How can I trust her if she’s hurting my other assistants and pressuring them to do things they didn’t want to do?’
It was also likely the reason why Narcissa bullied Ivan, then Nadia and Odette. She targeted the three who had the best results during selection to eliminate the most difficult rival for her goal.
