Chapter 202
"Debra, you've been spending a lot of time with Michael lately, and your internship work has suffered. Miss Miles expects you to finish this today, or your internship might be in jeopardy," said a co-worker, placing a stack of files on the desk. Debra eyed the towering pile, which nearly obscured her computer
screen. She glanced across the office at Shelia, who wore a self-satisfied smirk.
Debra had anticipated some retaliation, but she hadn't expected Shelia to stoop so low.
She stood up, walked over to the desk, and quickly counted the files. "If I recall correctly, these were supposed to be checked by Carole yesterday, weren't they?"
The female employee remained unfazed. "So what? I'm a full-time employee. Entrusting these documents to you is a sign of faith in your abilities."
Debra let out a derisive snort. "You think it's possible to check all these reports and come up with ten plans by the end of the day?"

She dropped the act, her posture radiating triumph.

Shelia's smile never wavered. "I'm sure it's well within anyone's capabilities. If you can't manage it, Debra, perhaps you're just looking for an excuse to be lazy. If that's your attitude, I'll have no choice but to discuss your internship with Mr. Tyson." The air in the workspace grew thick with tension. Debra's lips curled into a slight smile. She couldn't comprehend the source of Shelia's
arrogance.
"Fine," Debra said. "But before you talk to Mr. Tyson, you'll need to make. some room for me."
Shelia's brow furrowed in confusion. "What do you mean by that?"
"You'll see," Debra replied.
As if on cue, two rows of bodyguards clad in black filed into the company. At their head was Ben, who approached Debra and bowed respectfully. "Ms. Frazier, here is the contract between Mr. Michael Austin and Tyson Jewelry."
