A Graduation Gift

"What's wrong with you, Cloris? Remember, this is the Tang Group's office and not the Qin family house. You cannot have your tantrums here, or else, I will be forced to ask security to escort you out," Cassandra said forcibly.

She could not stand Cloris's temperament. If they were at home, she would probably muster more patience to deal with her bratty and self-centered sister. At the workplace, though, she had to put her foot down. After all, she was the firm's Architectural Design Manager. In no way was she going to allow her sister to talk to her like that.

"Wow, Cassandra, You really are somebody, aren't you? It looks like you won't even listen to dad. How dare you threaten me with calling the security? Who do you think you are? Well you know what, I am ashamed to be your sister! I am ashamed to be associated with a double crosser like you! And because you had so much audacity to do it, I am not afraid to reveal it!"

Cloris shouted. She yelled like a crazy person and it angered Cassandra very much.

"Call the security! Get this lady out of here!"

Cassandra demanded. Right now she had no patience for Cloris, who seemed to have lost her sanity. She knew that work hours were not the right time to settle personal issues and decided that it was best to talk to her sister after work.

The security guards walked in and pulled Cloris's arms to drag her out. Cloris shrugged them off and glared at the guards.

"I can walk by myself! Do you think I want to be here? I don't even want to come to this place! You are a disgrace!" she shouted.

Then she walked away briskly. The two guards exchanged glances with each other before followed her out.

The assistant, knowing that Cassandra would need some time to settle down, left the room as well, and closed the door behind her. Cassandra rubbed her forehead as she sat on her chair.

She had been so occupied with work from both the Tang Group and the Qin Group that she barely got to talk to Cloris. Therefore, she could not think of any reason why her sister was so upset.

After hesitating for quite a while, she finally picked up her phone and sent Cloris a message, "Cloris, wait for me at the Sweet Coffee Shop. Let's talk then."

Cassandra stared at the screen for several minutes but received no new notification. Her mind then slowly drifted away.

Suddenly, the door swung open. It was Stella, running into the office.

"Cassandra, what happened to your sister? She was vandalizing your photo on the Employee of the Month board and couldn't stop cursing you. The security guards tried to stop her and they ended up fighting!" she said worriedly.

Cassandra stood up immediately and was about to run out, but was pulled back by Stella.

"She's gone! I asked more guards to drive her away! I know she is your sister and she must be doing this to get your attention. She would be happy to see you down there so that she can curse you in your face, so just stay here. By the way, what happened between you two?" Stella asked, concerned.

'Cloris was interning under Leo and handling administrative matters. I don't remember her having such a bad temper. Why did she become like this?' Stella wondered.

"I also have no clue. She just came over and threw a tantrum. I asked why but she didn't say anything. I texted her asking her to talk to me after work. Hopefully she will enlighten me," Cassandra replied helplessly.
