The next morning, Armand brought breakfast over and completed her discharge paperwork when she was done eating.

At nine-twenty in the morning, Cassandra and her colleagues arrived at the government building.

Upon entering the place, her colleagues whispered, “I heard that Genevieve had a serious leg injury and had to be hospitalized for quite some time. Ms. Briggs will be transferred tomorrow. Since Mr. Faulkner can't work without an assistant, you'll probably be promoted today.”

Cassandra smiled. “That's hard to say. There were five people who took the examination. Besides, I'm not sure if Mr. Faulkner is pleased with me.”

“Of course he is! Among the five candidates, you're the only one who's as outstanding as Genevieve.”

Cassandra said nothing, but she knew she was the next most suitable candidate. Now that Genevieve was injured, Cali was certain that the position would fall into her hand.

I wonder when Ms. Briggs will come and look for me.

Feeling great, Cassandra stepped out of the elevator and made her way to the office, only to find a slender figure sitting by the cabinet. She almost turned pale from shock.

Genevieve seemed to have realized something and turned toward the door.

“Good morning, Cassandra!” Genevieve raised her thermos and took a sip of the chamomile tea.

Thank goodness Armand didn't give me masala chai again. This is nice.

Genevieve took a few more sips of her tea. Seeing that Cassandra was still standing by the door, she asked, “Why aren't you coming in?”

Cassandra forced a smile and walked to her desk.

Glancing at Genevieve across the desk, Cassandra could not help but ask, “Genevieve, didn't your calf bleed a lot? Don't you need to stay in the hospital for a few more days?”

A smile appeared on Genevieve's face. “The glass only caused a little scratch. It's no big deal. Even the doctor told me to get discharged and not waste money on staying in the hospital. Besides, Ms. Briggs is leaving tomorrow. I've got to hand over my job properly today so I can move upstairs to work tomorrow.”

Her words made Cassandra's face distort slightly in fury as she slumped into her seat.

If I'd known, I would've hurt her even more.

Around ten o'clock in the morning, Cali went to the Department of Public Information and asked for Genevieve, saying she had something to hand over to the latter. It made Cassandra's blood boil.

That position was supposed to be mine.

She uncapped her thermos and took a few sips of the floral tea she had made upon arriving at the office.

The moment she placed her thermos on the table, she felt an extreme itch on her face. Then, her heart started pumping rapidly, and she began to have difficulty breathing.

It was at that moment that Cassandra knew her allergy had been triggered.

Before she could take out her pills from her bag, her strong allergic reaction sent her into shock.

When the surrounding colleagues noticed that something was amiss, they quickly helped her to lie flat on the ground and administered first aid for ten minutes, which saved her life.
