Capture Her Heart After Marriage

Chapter 21 Why Didn’t You Fight Back

The knee-length, long-sleeve, red dress Alexia wore cost her over 300 dollars. Even though it was nowhere near as extravagant as the other secretaries’ gowns, she didn’t think it was a bad dress. There was nothing wrong with being more modest, was there?

“Of course there’s something wrong with it!” the secretary said in a sarcastic tone. “As Mr. Lancaster’s secretary, you represent the image of the company. To dress like this for the President’s welcome party is not only a disgrace to our secretaries but also to Mr. Lancaster and the company. Why don’t you think about any of this?”

“Disgrace?” Alexia said, frowning. “I don’t think I’m ashamed. In fact, I think you…”

Alexia trailed off, her gaze falling on the cleavages of the three secretaries. They really were dressed to impress, exuding confidence and elegance.

“What are you looking at!” the secretary shrieked, covering her chest with her hands as she glared at Alexia.

Looking back up at the secretary, Alexia smiled slightly. “If I remember correctly, Mr. Lancaster mentioned female employees had to dress appropriately. Are you purposely disobeying the President’s orders?”

At that, the three secretaries’ faces stiffened, and Alexia silently congratulated herself.

Straightening her sleeve the secretary wrinkled, Alexia continued, “As you said, we secretaries represent the company’s image. What will other guests think of your revealing dresses? Maybe they’ll think we only hire vulgar women?”

“Alexia, how dare you talk to us like that?”

“You brought this upon yourselves.”

“You…”

They were furious. They’d never expected someone like Alexia, seemingly as harmless as a bunny, to fight back.

“Alexia, you’re really something! It would be a shame if something happened.” The secretary in the middle suddenly splashed red wine in her hand towards Alexia.

Alexia couldn’t dodge the wine, and it drenched her. The dress soaked up the wine immediately; the material clinging to her body uncomfortably and making her shake in rage.

“You’re too much!” Alexia bit her lip and glared at them.

“Huh!” The secretary handed the empty glass to the woman beside her, crossing her arms and smirking. “There are more lessons waiting for you.”

Alexia dug her nails into her palms. “What have I done to offend you?”

“You really don’t know?” The secretary scoffed. “From the day you became Mr. Lancaster’s secretary, you’ve offended us. Why will an ordinary university graduate like you be on an equal footing with us?”
