Ms. Chapman, I overheard a rough summary of the situation at the entrance just now,” Gia said innocently, flashing a harmless smile.

However, a dark shadow cast over Lina’s eyes.

Mollie gave Gia a strange look, pushing her glasses and shooting her a sharp glance that seemed to say, “What’s going on? Are you siding with an outsider?”

Gia pretended not to understand and continued to plead for the two interns. “They just wanted to find Mr. Sam’s design sketches to study and learn from. This thirst for knowledge is something we should all admire! Ms. Chapman, you shouldn’t scold them indiscriminately and deduct their bonuses!”

Her words dumbfounded Mollie.

It was the first time she encountered someone taking the side of an outsider!

After a moment of thought, Mollie realized that Gia was new and needed to win people’s favor. These two struggling students became her primary targets.

Although Mollie didn’t particularly like them, she reluctantly held back for the sake of her niece. “Alright, alright, go back to your own work!”

As Mollie walked away, Gia looked at Lina and asked softly, “Lina, can we talk privately?”

Lina and Gia walked side by side in the alley behind the company building.

Out of caution, Lina kept her distance from Gia. As they walked, Gia stopped and quietly gazed at Lina.

“If you have something to say, just say it. You heard it just now, Ms. Chapman doesn’t like personal conversations during work hours,” Lina said.

“Lina, I…” Gia bit her lip and pleaded with her eyes.

Then, she turned to face Lina and suddenly bowed 90 degrees, clearly saying, “I’m sorry!”
